Somebody's getting excited...

We got the new kennel today that's airline certified. Bo likes it! And of course it's blue because he has to travel in high fashion :)

Self-Portraits

Sorry they are obviously self-taken... Not so great angles. Just wanted more hair photos!

Bo's First time up the Incline

Bo and Mrs. L at the top! He totally smoked me- practically dragged both of us up the mountain

Mr. L and Mr. Bo half way up! Funny story-- it started to rain as we got to the top and started the trek down on the 3.5 mile trail, and a few steps later it was an all out downpour and hailstorm. We were miserable but Bo was leading the way... I see what they mean about "hearty and rugged" as a description for his breed!

A Bow and the Bo Jaw Quiver

Just Because...

I haven't posted anything about our little man in a while... Isn't he handsome? Getting big... and smart. I have never seen such a smart and sweet dog EVER! I might be a bit biased though...

Forgot the Best Photo!

All smiles at the top! We made it!

Cakes by Mr. L

Our Easter Bunny Cake

And the fun cake for Malia's First Birthday. Complete with purple and green icing layers on the inside!

And I didn't help one bit! LOVE IT!

The INCLINE

The view of Pikes Peak from the top

Mr. L taking a break at the Summit

We did it!

Way more fun to see where you've been than where you still have to go!

Steeeeeep! At it's steepest, the incline is a 68% grade!

It's .8 mile up, but it ascends 2500 feet. Crazy!

It's technically a de-commissoned Cog Railroad and is "technically" private property. Tell that to the thousands of hikers who frequent it!

Still Smiling! It took us (well me, I was the hold-up) 1 hour and 14 minutes to make it up, and about 45 minutes to get down the 4-mile trail that zig-zags down the mountain. I'm up for going again soon!

Garage Sale Find!

Solid wood frame and backing, metal flower design. LOVE it! And it was only $25! I unscrewed the back and was able to take it apart to clean the glass behind the design. Not sure where it will go yet-- maybe in the new basement?

For Gina :)

A friend requested us take the gratuitous photo of Mickey ears... Here it is!

Fireworks!

These aren't the greatest photos but it was beautiful!!

Forgot!

In front of the restaurant, there are these paw prints. For those Lady and the Tramp aficionados out there, the pair made these in the movie in wet cement when they were on their "date." Love it!

Tony's

Mr. L posing with my spaghetti

Looking a little tired...

Tony's is in the Magic Kingdom-- it's the Italian restaurant in the Lady and the Tramp movie :) Since it was our wedding cake topper and first date, we told the waitress and she surprised us with Lady and the Tramp stuffed animals, from "Tony!" So much fun...
