Spring break

Jen and Chris were in town for wedding stuff this week. We got to meet her mom and sister who were in town for some planning. We had dinner at Lola's in the Highlands, it was delicious.
Jeremy and I escaped to the mountains for a few days. Jeremy got some skiing in and I did a lot of relaxing!

I am at 13 weeks in this picture!! The babies are looking great! But my tummy is measuring 16-17 weeks because there are two babies in there.

Celebrations!

Jeremy's fire department in Cripple Creek had their first annual awards banquet.
Dalton and Jeremy were in the academy together. Dalton and his wife Tessa are great friends and we love their girls too!!

A guy on Jeremy's shift Tyler and his family made the cake for the banquet. It was pretty fun!
Jeremy and his Chief after being given an award for his contributions to health and safety. He leads all of the physical fitness for the academies as well as monitoring the overall health of the department and working with each of the shifts.
The ice sculptures were about a week old at this point but still made main street look pretty cool.
Sarah competed in the State Prostart competition with her team from Standley Lake. The competition was at Johnson and Whales in Denver where Sarah is planning to go to college in the fall. Below was her team walking around the campus before their turn to cook. They were in the last group of the day.
Their station is set and they are waiting to prep. They were mentored by Chef Troy Gaurd who owns Tag restaurant on Larimer Square.
Let the games begin! They had one hour to complete an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The team worked flawlessly. Sarah was the team captain and did an awesome job encouraging each of her team members. She was an awesome leader.
It was so nerve wracking watching the team work. They were amazing and so focused!
Here are the final dishes.


They won second place in the culinary competition. Their management team won 3rd place for their restaurant design.
Both of their teams combined scores won them first place over all for the whole competition!! They took home the hospitality cup and $500 for their school. Each student also won scholarships!



Congrats Sarah!! We are so proud of you for all your hard work!!

Drum Roll Please.....

We went out to dinner with my family tonight to celebrate my birthday and to tell them the news....

We are so excited we can hardly stand it! If I can only manage the morning sickness...which feels like all day sickness really...and never ends. Yuck! I was told today that morning sickness is doubled with twins...and I can say yes it really is. We can't wait for all that this adventure holds for our family!

Breck....need I say more

We had an awesome time in Breckenridge for the weekend with our friends Melissa and Sean. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard! We got to see the international ice sculpture competition, go snowshoeing, and the guys went skiing, and of course the crepe stand! YUM. It snowed the whole weekend and looked like a total winter wonderland!!















Oh and by the way...

Yep I am pregnant!

My perfect day....

I can not think of a single thing that makes me happier than being in the mountains snowboarding. I truly love so much about it. The crisp sound of snow beneath my feet. The chill in the air and snowflakes lazily drifting the the ground. The quiet of being on a slope all along and taking in the beauty of the snow capped mountains brings me peace. I look forward to snowboarding season all year long. Jeremy loves to ski so we escape as often as possible to the mountains. This break I got to go with some friends too! Here are a few pictures from December.


Allison and I taking 1st time snowboarders up to Keystone. These guys were awesome!! We had a lot of fun!





And every perfect snowboarding day ends with a trip to the most delicious crepe stand and dinner at the Dam Brewery!! We loved spending time with Mel and Sean this time!! :)
