Estes Park

We spent a few days in the high country enjoying Estes Park. We went with my little sister's family and had a picnic. Hiking and discovering what mother nature had for us to see was the order for the day. When we are in the high country life seems just a little sweeter and any problems just melt away. Even with a professional camera you can't quite get all the beauty in the lens but I still tried. I just love to take pictures and the kids were more then happy to let me snap away. How I love the Rockies let me count the ways...

Rock climbing and repelling O MY!

While on a recent trip out west the children spent the day rock climbing and repelling. We had professionals there to teach us all on what we were going to need to do to be successful. Rachel suprised me and went up the side of the cliff first with no hesitation or problems. Benjamin chose the toughest climb which was to be expected. He will always push himself to excel at any task and prefers the path that ROCKS! Gary is our little spider monkey climbing everything including taking the rock wall WITH OUT any gear or ropes as the day progressed! Sariah can make anything look good and has to do it in style! Check out those poses!

Soccer Mania !!!

Saturdays are a special day its the day we get to practice our ability to multi-task! Gary and Rachel are in the fall league for soccer. There teams are doing very well and more importantly the kids are learning skills and having fun. Gary is a natural and amazing to watch. He is also not afraid of anything! He reminds me A LOT of his father when he is playing on the field. Gary is the best on his team and the coaches have asked if he had a twin because they could sure use him! Rachel is the sunshine of her team. She is just learning the sport and goes out every game and plays her best. Her team lost last weekend but when I saw her she was so excited running up to me saying, "Mom guess what I did? I used my left foot to make a play!" This is impressive for a beginner. Rachel also had her first goal ever!

Hattie Designs

I have decided to start making greeting cards and sell them online. My cards are all hand crafted and artistically done. They are not only decorated on the front but also a hint of the theme is represented in the inside. This is a two fold adventure; I get to express my talents and hopefully produce a product that will bring in some income.

I have also just started taking pictures professionally!
