Winter Wonderland!!!



Jason's sister Rachelle works for Greenwood Village, CO, and she invited us to go to the Winter Wonderland that they have each year. We had so much fun - Jake saw Santa, rode on the carousel, watched fireworks, and had lots of cookies! We had such a great time and can't wait to go back again next year!



Thanksgiving!!



We had a great Thanksgiving, not to mention a very busy one with two delicious meals! We started the day in Windsor for lunch with Jason's family and were lucky enough to spend it with 20+ family members, including his grandparents. Then we headed to our good friend Taryn's house and had a great dinner! We are so thankful for such wonderful family and friends!





First Snow!



Well, we had our first snow and Jake got to go out & play in it for really the first time! He wasn't quite so sure about the "white stuff" but after a little bit loved it!

Country Music Awards 2008!!



As many of you know, I was fortunate enough to get to go to the 2008 Country Music Awards in Nashville, TN with my great friend Taryn - an absolute trip of a lifetime!! We had so much fun, had absolutely great seats for the show, and saw all of our favorite singers. Here are some pictures from our trip:








Brad Paisley and Keith Urban...

Kid Rock...

Kenny Chesney - "Entertainer of the Year"!

The next day in downtown Nashville...

Night Out with the Broncos



Last week we went to another charity event, this one was a night out with Jay Cutler (Broncos Quarterback) and a few of his teammates - I think Jason was in heaven! We got lots of signatures on a Broncos hat for Jake, which means we now need to buy Jake a new hat since he can never wear this hat again (says his Dad). It was a fun night out with good friends!

Western Fantasy!



We had an amazing night out last weekend, and were lucky enough to go to a charity event called "Western Fantasy" that raised money for Volunteers of America. There was a live auction, great dinner, and even a concert by Dierks Bentley. I was lucky enough to have a center stage spot for when Dierks Bentley was singing, and he even ended up taking my camera and taking a self-picture of the two of us from stage! The other great thing is that Taryn won a trip to the Country Music Awards this year, so I am lucky enough to go with her - we leave in less than 2 weeks!! A very fun night...








Happy Halloween!



Jake had a great Halloween, his first official time Trick-Or-Treating!! We celebrated all week long leading up to the actual day, even including a party at Jason's office.
