BIKING WITH NEW FRIENDS
OCTOBER 8, 2014
OCTOBER 8, 2014
I love that Mike is always looking out for me when it comes to my running and biking. He knew I was looking for some fast girls to bike with. After talking with some of the guys that he works with at Evans, he put me in touch with a few girls that live down by Cheyenne Mountain that love to go mountain biking. It has been really fun biking with Bridget and Amelia. Today we biked up Captain Jacks and had a great time. I can't wait to go on more rides with these girls.
THE PIZZA MAN
OCTOBER 12, 2014
Mike makes the best Chicago pizzas. He started making them 5 years ago when he stumbled upon a great recipe from the Cooks Illustrated magazine. It is a no fail, delicious homemade Chicago style pizza with a buttery crust and homemade sauce. I love watching him make it because he is so silly when he rolls out the dough. He throws it in the air and makes silly faces at the kids while he does it. I love this man.
THE NIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL
OCTOBER 12, 2014
I love how Abby lays her clothes out the night before school. She doesn't just pick out an outfit and through it at the foot of her bed. She lays out her outfit so it looks like a person. It is absolutely the funniest thing I have ever seen.
ANDREW GETS A FRESH CAST
OCTOBER 14, 2015
I took Andrew down to Evans Army Medical Center at Ft. Carson to get his cast taken off so he could get some more x-rays done on his arm. After two and a half weeks in his cast we were all a little curious to see how his arm was healing. Taking the cast off didn't hurt but as soon as the cast was off he was not very comfortable. Taking x-rays this time seemed to hurt him more than when he first broke his arm. I felt so bad for him. He got a fresh cast on with good news that he would only need to wear it for another 2 weeks.
PLAYING BALL WITH DAD
OCTOBER 16, 2014
I love it when the girls want to go outside and throw the ball around with Mike. He is always happy to teach the girls how to play ball and they just love the time he spends with them.
PIANO WITH DAD
OCTOBER 17, 2014
Emma loves to play the piano and has recently taken an interest in learning "Heart and Soul." She finally got good enough to play the left hand while Mike played the right hand. It was so sweet to watch them play it together.
PEARL JAM CONCERT
OCTOBER 22, 2014
I bought Mike tickets to go and see the Pearl Jam concert for his birthday this year. He was so surprised and SUPER excited because he had tried to go to this concert 4 times in the past 20 years and every time something always prevented him from going. I was actually surprised to see so many people our age at the concert. I had expected there to be a much younger crowd. I'm glad that I recognized many of the songs and was super impressed by what a good concert they gave. It is always fun to feel young again!
NEW WIG
OCTOBER 29, 2014
I purchased a new wig for my witch costume this year. Being a witch seems to be the easiest costume to put together last minute for Halloween. I had someone at the elementary school if that was my real hair. I guess I picked out a good wig!
