« Previous EntriesLet Them Eat Cake!
Friday, July 30th, 2010I, Courtney, Queen of the Oven, made this cake for our friend Krys’ birthday. (There should be a joke about a bun in the oven here somewhere, but I’m too sleepy to figure it out.)
Keith, King of the Knives, cut Krys’ cake with great ferocity and skill. He was rewarded with an extra [...]
Stags
Thursday, July 15th, 2010There were stags in the front yard of our bed and breakfast! One was a mature three-pointer (to the left), and the other was a scrawny teenage stag (to the right) hanging out with a cool older dude.
So, here’s what happened: Josh went to return our keys at the main house, and while he [...]
Garden of the Gods
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010We watched a video at the visitor’s center which told us that the Garden of the Gods was thus named because two men (can’t remember who!) were surveying the area together. The one man said, “This would make a great beer garden!” His friend replied, “No, this is a garden of the gods!” [...]
Gold Mines and Bordellos
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010The second full day of our trip, we drove up to Cripple Creek. Cripple Creek sits very near to the top of the Continental Divide at roughly 9000 feet in elevation… whew! It’s a famous gold mining town just over an hour outside of Colorado Springs, and while there, we visited a gold [...]
Cliff Dwellings
Monday, July 12th, 2010This is the view of the Rockies from the entrance to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. We’re less than 10 minutes away from our gorgeous bed and breakfast!
Courtney in front of the actual cliff dwellings. Considering that I am not that tall (5′4″ish), imagine how much smaller the people who lived here were!
Keith spent [...]
Boy or Girl?
Saturday, June 5th, 2010If you haven’t already heard the news (and believe me, the phones have been humming faster than I can call people myself), we are having…
A BOY!
This probably shouldn’t come as a surprise when given the overwhelming number of men on both sides of the family. (I myself am the first girl in three generations!) But [...]
Spokane
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010For once, we have not been updating the blog because we have been doing so many things! Most importantly, we spent the holiday weekend in Spokane. Things to know:
We stayed with Josh and Mackenzie. Translation: we ate a lot of really good food, played board games late every night, and goofed off with the kitties. [...]
Potstickers (Repeating)
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010Lest you think that our lives are nothing but The Pregnancy these days, we must inform you that we are still up to our usual tricks. My appetite has returned (huzzah!) from its brief hiatus with morning sickness, which means that we are back to investigating weird and wonderful foods that we can make from [...]
Visiting Little Rock
Thursday, December 31st, 2009If you haven’t heard already, Keith and I visited his folks in Little Rock for Christmas this year. We had a fabulous time with the whole gang, although we have a few choice words about the airline we used. (You should not *AHEM* arrive home 37 hours after your scheduled time, especially without weather or [...]
Lobster: a photodocumentary
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Pictures speak louder than words… especially when lobsters make a run for it. (My apologies for the fuzzy pictures; my little camera didn’t handle the action well.) Thanks to P & S for the hysterically fun live LobsterGram!
