30 Day Challenge - {Day 6}

This was up in the mountains, at a campground. It was so awesome!!

And the question is a moment you wish you could relive. Oh, there are so many moments I wish I could relive, some embarrassing ones (:P), some really epic ones, some sad ones, some happy ones, and some that you wished you would have never done or said. Anyways, I'm going to post a few.

(1.) I wish I could relive the church camping trip, last year. I have never had such fun with such awesome people. Swimming, volley ball, star gazing, walks, fires, oh it was awesome!!

(2.) Another moment I wish I could relive was when my 2 (awesome) cousins and I went on a walk and talked past midnight, and walked the shops of Estes Park. {♥} Totally Awesomeness!!!

Of course there are many other moments, but those are my top two.

Have a good weekend,

30 Day Challenge - {Day 5}

But, I've got a ton more that are totally A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!

Ahh... your killing me! Do have have to pick a favorite? I'm a huge book worm. I think reading is my favorite hobby, if you call it that, I think it's more like a essential for me. :) But, I'd have to say the Anne of Green Gables series are by far my favorite books.

Oh, and if you haven't read the Anne books....you are REALLY missing out on life!!!

Sticky Buns Anyone? ☺

Howdy~ I made sticky buns on Saturday and thought I'd make you hungry. :D

And I made Banana Oatmeal Cookies! And we got about 5 zucchini from our tiny garden, and 1 squash! I love baked and fried zucchini, so I was happy! :D

Yesterday, was graduation Sunday at Ellerslie, so we sent off another batch of students. :( I'll miss them.

And we had a surprise too. Some friends from Idaho, came back to Ellerslie, to become advanced students. It was awesome to see them!

Well, I need to go finish some laundry. :( For the record, I don't exactly love laundry. lol

A Quote for a Thought ♥

This quote from "Facing the Giants" has been running through my head all day yesterday and today. I don't know why, it's just there. Anyways, I thought I'd share it, maybe it will "plague" someone else. :)

"God has gifted you with the ability of leadership don't waste it! Can I count on you?" -Grant

"Yes!" -Brock

The County Fair!!

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry....I know its been a week, but I do have a really good reason, the County Fair!! Our business has had a booth in the fair for the last 5 years, so we always get to spend a lot of time there. I was at the fair every day (its 5 days!) but, some of the days were only half days. It does make you tired....anyways we had a blast! Last night was the last rodeo and we always go to it cause it is the "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" rodeo and also the rodeo that they crown the new "Larimer County Queen". Here are some pictures I took. Sorry some are blurry, it is sooo hard to get good pictures. Okay...this next photo is suppose to be down a ways, but oh well. bull riding! ouch! that doesn't look very comfortable

barrel racing, my favorite!

in three nights of rodeos, this girl got the highest score, she was FAST "ride 'em cowgirl!"

The horses are absolutely gorgeous

steer wrestling, the clown said "I didn't know a steer could leave skidmarks!" bronco riding! team roping!

the new 2012 Larimer County Queen

the 2011 queen, her lady-in-waiting, and Miss Rodeo Colorado

fireworks!!!

flowers

one of the vendors had a bunch of cute, chunky, necklaces, but they were $75, so bye-bye

Okay, here are a bunch of photos from the 4-H barns

this was the cutest kid {no pun intended :) }

the bunnys were so cute!

Well, I guess thats all,
