Never A Dull Moment

Horse Play!!

I can't help but share the good news!  Many of you know I work for the Xyron Corporation as an Instructor for I Remember When.  I LOVE this job and the women I work with are so inspiring and encouraging.  Last fall I was honored to be selected on the Design Team for the company.  It has been a fun job and the challanges are awesome.  Well the great news I have to share is about "Horse Play".  This is a layout I created as a catalog supplement item HOPING it would be chosen for publication.  So I get the new supplement and guess where I found it... ON THE COVER!! 

I was so thrilled, and I would have to say this is a huge honor to me!  So thanks Josie for being so incredibly cute and always letting me snap away with the camera!  ALSO, thanks to IRW and Xyron for letting me part of your team!  This "not a real job" that I have is all "Horse Play" and I LOVE it!!

Winter Quietly Approaches!

Fall in North Park is BAR NONE the most beautiful time of year!  I love everything about it... not to hot, not to cold, no mesquitos!!  LOVE IT!  Yesterday I had to take the drive to Steamboat for Doctor appointments and what an amazing drive. 

Check out the new Fall Photo Gallery!  I included a picture of the new North Park Fall/Winter Visitors Guide Cover Photo that I recently took as well!

I'm still numb!

County Fair happened last weekend... and I am still numb a week later!  I spent last week unpacking show boxes, doing LOTS of laundry and working on photos from fair!  So far I have all the buyer pics done but at least another week of photo work on just the 3000 candids I took!  Check out the Fair photo album!  Some fair highlights were: 1) Kason won Jr. Swine Showmanship and was the youngest kid showing at fair!

2) Kason also had Grand Champion Rabbit Market Pen 

3)Kaine won Best of Show with his Black Otter Doe!

  The boys did great winning a total of 2 Grands, 2 Reserves, 9-1sts, 4- 2nds, 6- 3rds, and lots of others!!  They made good $$ as well to pour back into next years projects!  It was a fantastic fair that was thorougly exhausting! 

Good Intentions!!

     So last month I started a blog with good intentions of weekly maintence.... WOW has life taken it's toll and sent me into a tail spin!  A couple days after the BLOG creation I celebrated my big "32" with a fantastic BBQ... lots of friends, family and food! 

Angie and I toast to friendship and good times!!

The next day my little men competed in the 4H Shooting Sports tourney and did AWESOME!  I was so proud to say the least!  Both won a first place ribbon and have their sites set for bigger and better next year:)

Kaine and Kason show off their 1st place ribbons in .22 shooting.

     Labor Day weekend hit which in this house means busting your tail to LABOR over all the projects that need done before hardcore winter sets in!  So with the help of friends and family we installed a new central boiler (wood furnace).  After 3 days of our long holiday WORK weekend, we decided enough was enough... lets take the bikes and hit the trail!  A GOOD time... mud, fun, mud, family, mud!!
