January 2025

 For Christmas Alex got me a gift of an adventure.  Since my mom was here we snuck away to Mt Princeton and enjoyed the hot springs and hiking.

It was absolutely beautiful! Such a fun experience to be freezing outside but sitting in a hot springs next to a river.  Loved it!

Celebrating Stanley on his birthday!  Went to play at Slick City and Red Robin for dinner.  It was a fun day!  

Can't believe he is ten.

Clifton also got a Christmas present that was an experience.  We got to go to a Nuggets NBA game.

He is getting harder and harder to buy for but he loves anything sports.

Enjoying show Grandma more of the beauty and fun of Colorado.

Hiking the Garden of the Gods.  Then we got snow the last day of winter break so of course we had to get out and enjoy it.

Then warm up by the fire making s'mores.

Back to school and work life after the holidays...

Doing the drive way clearing together.

Friday fun days!  

Church ball for Clifton

Working on things around the house.  A new cat door.  Cats love it, Rufus, well he wishes he could come downstairs with the cats.

A boy and his dog enjoying winter days.

Then we got an arctic freeze!  

Having fun with the freeze.

It sure is beautiful!

Getting to work out with my girl while school was canceled.

Taking advantage of free Saturdays and enjoying a beautiful hike.

Can't get enough of the Colorado beauty, plus a nice 50 degree day after that freeze felt wonderful.

Alex and I started to jazz up our dating and time together.  So this year we started ABC dating, each time taking turns with a letter from the alphabet.  Starting with letter A - Axe Throwing and Apple Bees.

We also had a party for Stanley.  We invited everyone - not knowing who would show up.  We couldn't have been happier.  He was surrounded by lots of friends he had just met.  

Thankful for being willing to have fun and celebrate Stanley.
