We were on the slopes for a few hours when a straight up blizzard hit... by the time we got back out on the road there was at least a foot-- total white-out :)

Bad Blogger, Bad!
Sorry guys! I've been pretty busy! Wings has gotten some great sponsorships as a result though! We are close to reaching our goals for this year's conference.
I am soon-to-be a certified Cycle Instructor! I got certified through AAAI-ISMA- they had a certification weekend here in town. It was too easy. I say soon-to-be because I'm still waiting on the official paperwork to come in... I went to a tryout at VillaSport, which is a swanky club on the North end of town, but I'm also working with the director of group fitness on post who is letting me teach bits of her classes to get me ready to take over for her in July. That one may be the better option since it's so much closer... But it's fun because I get to do what I love, get a workout, and get paid! Sweet!
Mr. L and I are going on a fun getaway pretty soon. We are headed to Orlando Florida for a few days to getaway, relax, and spend some time together and with his family. I'll post some pictures of our trip when we get back, so be on the lookout for them!
I'm also really ready for Spring. It has been cold cold cold since I moved here in September-- it's crazy that they basically have 7 months out of the year of winter. While it's beautiful, my Aunt Joanne was right when she said I would get tired of it. Bring on the sunshine!
Of course I can't make a post without mentioning Little Bo. He passed his Intermediate Puppy Class at Petsmart, and is two skills away from passing Advanced. We should have already finished, but the two skills are pretty tough for him. Walking on a loose leash in a heel position, self-correcting by only my command. Hard for an excited puppy! The other skill, which he's much better at, is not barking and getting excited at other dogs. He acts all aggressive but really he just wants to play! He's totally fine when we have puppy play dates with friends, but if we are at the dog park or in PetSmart, all he wants to do is bark. If we can master those two things, we will pass advanced training and be ready to take the AKC Good Citizen test. Also pretty tough, but we think our little man can handle it!
Daylight savings has saved me. Bo's favorite thing to do is jump on the bed and lick me to death at 6:30 am, every day, on the spot. Now that it's a little darker in the mornings, he is sleeping until his daddy comes home from PT, around 7:30-8:00! That's a much more human time to be awake, I think. I'm loving it!
I should have some photos soon- I need to download my camera, do some backups, and get it ready for the trip. So be on the lookout for those!!
That's all for now... Thanks for being so patient with me!

This could be the funniest photo ever...
We were in bed this morning and Bo perched up on his Daddy's hiney. Then I took a picture mid-yawn... Too funny!!

Bo's Tricks
He's been learning a lot-- about to graduate from Intermediate class at PetSmart :) He "Waits" before getting out of the car, going outside, or going up and down the stairs. So smart!

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!

Tickets on Sale Now
Tickets are on sale for Take Cover, the upcoming conference by Wings for Women! Know anybody interested in attending?? Send them on over!

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."
