breckenridge!!!!

so we are back to our second home! after vacationing here fore 15 years of my life it sure feels like home! good ol' breck is still as awesome as ever and we even got the chance to visit chase and carolyn in denver on our way out here. maddox and jadon are as cute as ever and we wish we lived closer so we could see them more often. after leaving their house on monday afternoon we went to cherry creek mall (best mall ever!!!!) and went to fabulous stores.....restoration hardware, anthropologie, oakley..just to name a few. we also had cherry on top frozen yogurt because they will be opening in lincoln soon so we had to try it and it was amazing too! no fat and it tastes delicious!

after leaving the mall we decided to make our way back to I-70 without using directions and it was soooo fun. we drove through downtown and saw amazing condos and parks and lovely buildings...it just made me want to move there. successfully we got to I-70 and made our way to breck. as we drove out of the eisenhower tunnel we had a lovely light go on in our car....LOW FUEL! awwwww! i was paranoid but fortunately it is all downhill to silverthorne and we made it to a gas station and of course the outlet mall ;). we perused the stores and decided we would go back to make purchases a different day.

arriving in breckenridge was wonderful as usual. the crisp brisk mountain air that always smells amazing...literally. our condo is FANTASTICALLY AMAZING! we want it to be our apartment for reals...granite, stone, loveliness, mountains....what more could a girl and boy ask for? that night we stuffed ourselves at mi casa (mexican food) and sipped some good coffee. and yes we were in bed at 8 because we were soooooo tired! unfortunately we both woke up at 3 in the morning wide awake ahahahaha! serves us right for being old farts and going to bed ridiculously early.

tuesday we did the infamous mcculah gulch (butchered the spelling) hike and it was gorgeous! god is so beautiful! many photos were taken and will be posted soon. tired and refreshed at the same time we got home, rested, and then went to Eric's pizza which is the best pizza in the world. if you have never been here you should come for that reason.

now it is wednesday. our morning looked a little like this: woke up slowly, got coffee, read the paper, gazed at god's creation for a long time, went on a walk, and now we are going shopping. jay is more excited for shopping than i have ever seen him which is really exciting for me! so we are off! pictures to come and more updates.

YAY for celebrating GRADUATION AND HONEYMOONS!!!! WOOOHOOOO! but we wish family was here too :( miss all of you being with us. we wanted to play cards last night but it wouldn't have been much fun without you all!

Last week of nannying!

i cannot believe it is my last week of being a nanny! summer has absolutely flown by. this summer has been so fun compared to the last couple because i am not in summer school and jay and i have been much more active in visiting family and friends on the weekends. i have averaged sitting by the pool 3 days a week and have finished 3 books! that is REALLY good for me. in school i really didn't do much "fun" reading.

usually the kiddos i watch have golf and swimming in the mornings but this week they do not! with this being said i am in much need of some suggestions to occupy the children. they definitely are not the "stay at home and occupy yourself" types of kids so.........cheap fun things are needed. here is what i have thus far:

monday: Henry Doorly Zoo (weather permitting, fingers crossed!)

tuesday: park in the morning and pool in the afternoon

wednesday: driving range in the morning and pool in the afternoon

thursday: HAVE NO IDEA!

thursday is my last day so it is a must that it be fantastic and fun! i do not know what to do on this day and am in need of some other ideas. it is sad that summer is coming to an end and i will miss seeing these kids everyday! but i guess all good things come to an end at some point, however, this only means that a new good thing is about to begin! exciting!

new computer!
