Here are just a few stand alone pictures that I didn't think needed their own album, but that members of my family may want to see :) This is of when the Stone girls were here as well.. Last but not least.

Anna's camera takes SUCH amazing shots!

Emily, my contact buddy :) I liked this artsy pic.

The non-contact buds haha

And Emily had a time of it making me up one day :) Thanks Emmy--that was a lot of fun, and a very new experience for me! haha

DOWNTOWN denver

On Anna and Emily's last night here in Colorado we went downtown and made a night of it.... What a wonderful memory! Go HERE for all the pics :)

We love our bro--in different ways :) He was our escort! haha

Ellie, Emmy, and the wierdo who wanted a picture with us *jk* Love you Rob. Downtown is SO pretty at night!

DOWNTOWN DENVER

RED rocks

The girls' last day we visited not only Georgetown, but Red Rocks as well! It was a FULL day, but such a wonderful time... Red Rocks is just gorgeous, and we had a great time taking millions of pics. Again. :) Go HERE for them all!

What a view from the top of the amphitheater...

Jumping!! Ellie, Anna, and Emily. Yes that's Ellie's scarf in her face--LOL! :)

RED ROCKS

Georgetown and SNOW!

We not only found three feet of snow in Georgetown, but the PERFECT snowfall as well! The girls had never played in snow, so this was truly a blessing... Go HERE for all the pics!

Snow buds. sorry Emmy!

Snow angels!! It was SO much fun. I am sad we can't live in Georgetown :(

GEORGETOWN

dBar

Of course, no trip to CO is complete without visiting the one and only DBAR! Desserts delectible enough to frame, and pricey enough to save years for (joke haha) :) Anyway, Anna and Emily LOVED it! See all the pis HERE.

The SIGN.

Does that look amazing, or does that look AMAAAZING!?

DBAR

BOULDER

The gals went to Boulder one fine day! Toured the Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory, and overall had a jolly time. The pics you'll see of my dad and bro are because they had to drop them off at work first... And you know Anna, always taking pictures! Go HERE for all the pics.

I liked this pic of my friendsies :)

Cute town, Boulder is.

BOULDER

Game on!

Emily kindly took some pictures of the game she was here for! Thanks girl :) Go HERE for all the pics.

Ellie on defense, and that's Tim, our goalie.

It's pretty much a staple to get Starbucks afterward now... :) We have four more games!

SOCCER GAME

Shall We Dance?

In the month of February we took waltzing lessons with our friends the Ws, and because Anna and Emily happened to be here for the last one, Anna and Felicia kindly took pictures! Check them all out HERE. It really was a wonderful experience to take waltzing lessons... I am looking forward to maybe taking swing in April!

Valerie and Robert :)

Our knowledgable instructors! We had such a jolly time. I'm soo glad we did it!

WALTZING

Breckenridge

As always, it was a huge treat to visit Breckenridge! Enjoy the MANY pics HERE. The pics you see of random British guys are these gentlemen who interviewed us on HULA HOOPING here in the United States! They were film students in England. haha it was hilarious and a great experience... There's also tons of view pictures that I hope really wow you :)

We had a LOT of fun with the hats and wigs, to say the least :) Be prepared for some crazy pics!

BRECK

I can't get video to work on this blog, so go to my Facebook to see video....

SOCCER!

About once a week we have a soccer practice in our park. For those of you who didn't know, we are on a family soccer team until early April! :) Go HERE for all the pics of this practice that Anna kindly took.

Victoria and her brother go all out for it....

Ellie and our goalie, Tim. We have a fun team!

Colorado Plains

While the gals were here we attended a family business meeting way out in Franktown--so Anna got some lovely shots of the plains! Thanks Anna :) Go HERE for all the pics.

Breathtaking...

What a VIBRANT pic! It was fun to hang out with friends and hear tips and pointers on how to run a family business. :)

PLAINS

Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland♫

It snowed just a LITTLE one night, and the girls promptly went berserk over it haha. :) They have never seen snow before, remember! Anna had a heyday with camera taking artsy shots. See all the pics HERE. Once again, credit goes to Anna Stone!

Lovely gal, lovely tree. Matches the color of her eyes :)

My favorite twins in the whole wide world!

WINTER WALK

TANGLED

Our visitors LOVED the movie Tangled that came out (about Rupunzal) so we went to see it in the dollar theater, with some other friends! All in all a jolly party :) Go HERE for all the pics.

L-R: Anna, Kate, Christina, Trish, Mary, Elizabeth, Emily, Mom. The W family and Bethany joined us as well, but they weren't there yet for this pic.

I know I know, I should have gotten a pic with the Tangled movie poster but it totally slipped my mind! For the record, Tangled was a pretty harmless, funny movie. The review on Plugged In is really good.

TANGLED

Mountain Views

The first day our guests were here, we camped out at a beautiful view right near our house, and let Anna take pics to her little heart's content! Go HERE for all the AMAZING pics!

Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE Colorado?

*heart* Hope you enjoy the pics :) The view was just wonderful. And such a clear day!

MOUNTAIN VIEW

Florida Friends' First Day

Dear friends of ours from Florida, Anna (left) and Emily (right) came to visit us in late February for TEN days! The next several posts are of their visit, and courtesy of Anna's amaaazing professional camera :) See all pics of this, our first day and walk in the snow HERE.

Beautiful girls :) We were just walking in our neighborhood....

They had never played in snow, so had a ball with some frozen snow in the park--a ball pelting ME with snow balls! LOL it was fun.

WALK IN THE PARK

EVERgreen....

A couple weeks ago I took the twins an hour into the mountains to skate and play hockey at Evergreen lake! It was so beautiful... Go HERE for all the pics.

Patricia and I hung out together and just attempted to skate on VERY bumpy ice, while Mary...

almost got killed in hockey! haha no seriously, that is her almost VERTICAL on the ice :) She was fine. But isn't that a sweet picture? She was pretty good at this hockey sport!

EVERGREEN

I tried to upload video but failed :( Go to my facebook page to see video of this time.

Superbowl Tea!

Yes yes, a bit of a contradiction to be sure, but fun nonetheless! The boys went and watched the game at a hotel, and the girls had tea, and chatted, and other such things :) The food was TO DIE FOR. All of it gluten and dairy free, and so very DELICIOUS!! MANY thanks to Mrs Wayne and her girls for making it all. And thanks to Felicia for these photos! Go HERE for them all.

Tea. Sugur cubes. Ahhhhhh....

Some sweet friends. We love you girls!

SUPERBOWL TEA
