a {very} short post about our snow

I said I would try to post pictures of the snow, so here you are.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, most were taken through the window, because I was

to chicken to open the door. Just kidding. :)

 Kyle and his snowman..

 our poor neighbors trees.....the snow was so heavy, and the leaves were

still on...and the limbs just broke. You can't really see the bottom of these, but they were terrible.

I told you it was a short post. :P

roadtrip [part 2]

The day before we left I made 40 cupcakes, and 30 some dinner rolls, for His Little Feet. 

It was awesome!!!

 I was ready to roll...*ahem* actually I'm am listening to

 "How We Roll" by Brit Nicole. ;)

 We drank lots of coffee,

 and some Coca-Cola. 

We aren't a coke family, but like it occasionally.

 took pictures of coke bottles and maps

 maps ^

 and drank some more tea and coffee.

My 2 aunts and uncles and my baby cousin came out to visit us!!! :) And we went up to Estes Park... 

 The Aspens were amazing!!!

 I love the randomness of this photo...

 Aspens, water, mountains, pine trees, snow...bring it on

(No, this isn't ours....I wish though)

 I dunno why I took this one, but it looks like it belongs in a commercial.
