Scroll down to #7, Aspen's A Hard Act to Follow-- That's Bo's Aunt Katie!!

Just think, that could be our little man one day... You know his Daddy has been calling him a champion lately :)

Valentines Day Fun

Some fun cookies I made thanks to some cookie cutters from Momma :)
I took 1/2 the batch to a Super Bowl party, and made special ones for the kiddos. They LOVED them!!

Little Bo, the Football Exterminator

He'd been working on it all day and managed to chew off both arms, one leg, and pull out the squeaker :) Better than my couch I suppose...

My First Hockey Game!

Mr. L's little buddy, Connor :)
We went to the Colorado College Tigers hockey game. So much fun! It's like soccer and football and field hockey on ice! Crazy. We had a blast!

When the Cat's Away...

... The mice sleep in bed together!



Mr. L was out in the field doing some training for 5 days, so I took full advantage of the empty space in the bed! No more crate for Little Bo when Daddy's away!!

I'm a Bad Blogger...

I know I've been way behind on posts but to be really honest, not much has been going on! Mr. L is in a crazy schedule right now- last week he was getting home around 8, and heading to bed around 10. And that's with going to in at 5:30 in the morning and working straight through the day. This week, he's been in the field, so needless to say Mrs. L has had a lot of alone time! And I don't like it one bit!! Luckily I have a sweet face to keep me company. He has been so great-- I keep telling Mr. L I'm making him my dog :)
I'm hoping for a trip home in April for a friend's wedding-- I hope to be there for a few weeks, so Mr. Bo might be making his first plane flight. Frontier is the cheapest airline for pet travel, and I can get a direct flight to cut down on the time he'll have to be locked up. He's in intermediate class now and doing great-- the trainer says he's progressed well and that his "problem" areas of barking at other dogs, pulling on the leash, and other puppy behaviors will go away soon with lots of work. He says you can't expect a 6 month old to be the model of good behavior!
Since Mr. L has been working so much, I've been hanging out a lot with Mrs. R and her two kiddos. So much fun! They adopted a 7 year old Husky named Naomi, and little Bo loves her! They play together so well and run around-- it's a good outlet for him and good to be around another dog.
I managed to paint our master bathroom the other day, and for the past few weeks we've been working on "renovating" it with some new brushed nickel fixtures. We did as much as we could, called in a plumber to extend a pipe for us, and hopefully we will get it finished this weekend and I can post more photos.

That's it for now... I'm off to tackle my huge To-Do list!

Accommodations

A friend of ours gave us this friends and family referral where in exchange for sitting through a timeshare sales pitch, we got 2 nights and 2 lift tickets for $100... Pretty sweet deal. We didn't walk away with a timeshare, but the hotel the promotion put us in was overbooked, so they upgraded us to this place that was literally 2 blocks from the Gondola lift at the base of Peak 8. Saweeeeet :)

A Weekend at Breck

Mrs. R and I at the top! Notice our matching snowbunny hats :)

Mr. and Mrs. L, trying to stay warm!

More House Makeovers!!

The guest bathroom-- Mr. L had some, shall we say, not-so-pretty mats on the floor that matched his old blue towels. They didn't match our new blue towels we registered for. I was tired of the mis-matched blues, so I found these 2 rugs. Makes me happy! And the white one is heaven on your feet :)
Living room makeover!! It's amazing what pillows will do! I was going to go the safe route and get a chocolate brown quilted faux-silk pillow and a light blue one with brown leaves. But then I saw these orangey-red ones and fell in love with the bold splash of color. I LOVE them! It's amazing what they do to make the room more colorful, comfortable, and dare I say luxurious!
They are my new inspiration for the room, that still looks a lot like a bachelor pad. I want to go with a costal southern type look. More photos as I get the room more "finished."

More Christmas

The tree, post presents. We totally forgot to take a "before" photo...

Hung by the Chimney with care...
You can see our nativity in this one.
My Birthday Cake :) Complete with 4 layers of peppermint icing! We also totally forgot a "before" photo :( But it was fantastic!
Mrs. L opening presents. Still a little sleepy I guess...

Garden of the Gods... Again :)

Somebody's new favorite thing... riding in the car and sticking his head out the window :)
It seems like every time we go we find a new spot for a great photo :)

Aaaaand every time we go, Little Bo passes out on the way home :)

Little Bo's First Christmas!

Cuddle time with his Daddy!!
He chewed on that thing for at least an hour and a half-- the whole time we opened presents!

He loved his rawhide candy cane :) Notice the paw stocking...

For C-Diddy, As Promised :)

The picture was a wedding gift from Mr. and Mrs. C-Diddy and we adore it! A friend of theirs painted it by hand... it's perfect. We have it on a stand above our 3-sided fireplace so we can see it from both rooms on the first floor. Thanks C-Diddy (and to your parents too!!)

Merry Christmas From the L Family!

Merry Christmas!! More posts soon... Promise!

Inspired...

After looking at tons of pictures of Elkhounds online I got pretty inspired... This was the best I could do for now. The only one I got him to stand still for really :) He just wants to run around and eat the snow and dig up our mulch!

Somebody LOVES the snow...

New Wings Video!!

Pretty awesome!

The Dragon

A friend of ours has a 3 year old named Maddison, or Maddie for short. They stopped by to kill a few minutes the other day and Maddie positioned herself on the stairs as the princess and kept calling Bo the dragon. Every time she came downstairs he tried to lick her face, so she said "No Dragon No!" It was so cute. So now we call Bo "The Dragon" when he's acting up or being a pain... And he does act up. I left the other day and he peed on the floor as soon as I left. I guess he didn't want me to leave. And when the snow first started we wouldn't let him out every time he scratched at the door because all he wanted to do was play, so he peed in the laundry room. Those are the only times he's had "accidents" and I think they were on purpose... Dragon.
