Jake's Ski Chair

Jake built a "ski chair"! It turned out great! It even has a "cup holder" made of the bindings on the right arm rest. Angela (my sister in law) and Kersten (Jake's sister) should recognize the skis in the middle.....

We camped for almost a week at Green Mountain resevior in early September. Hiked to Cataract Lake. It was beautiful. Our "Camp"

A Labor Day Hike

Jake and I hiked to the top of the Pali Lift at Arapahoe Basin on Labor day. Here are some pics, it was a beautiful day. And being up there reminded us of winter and we are excited for it to start to snow. (They started blowing the snow guns the day after our hike!)

Anniversary Balloons

My mom and dad sent a balloon bouquet for Jake and I's 8th anniversary on Tuesday! The balloons were HUGE! Thanks Mom and Dad! The big heart balloon sang when you tapped it, the song was "You're still the one!" Cute!
