Mesa Verde

Today we visited the ancient Pueblo ruins of Mesa Verde. We did some serious hiking and climbing to reach the cliff dwellings.

This is Ronda scampering up a latter. The rangers told us that rule #1 was not to look down.

I honestly can't believe that they let people climb up these latters and walk along the edge of 1,000 ft cliffs with no railings. It's nuts but we didn't see anyone fall to their death :)

This is one of several cliff dwellings that we hiked to today...amazing!

Here we are, happy to visit but greatful that we don't live on a cliff.

The Road Trip

After leaving Denver yesterday afternoon, we drove to Moab Utah. We started our Sunday by attending a very spiritual sacrament meeting and then headed off to explore the area. This is Dead Horse Point in Canyonlands National Park.

Here we go again

The Star production has started again.

I don't know if people are feeling better about money,

if stars are cute for the 4th of July

or because I lowered my prices.

( let me guess )
But I'm busy with the stars again.
Its nice to be working on them again.

This is one of my favorites

4th of July

Thanks Tarah for talking us in to running.

We Did It!!

We Did It!!!!

With a little fear And alot of determination Kevin and I ran the Pat Tillman race this morning, and we survived. I do have to admit it was kind of fun.

Surprise Surprise....we're back

After a LONG break from blogging and much nagging from our children, we will try this again!

The kids were over and Dad decided to try his hand at shooting a bow and arrow in the back yard.
And may add...a few lost arrows! :)

Mom is gone to Denver. I'm excited for Amber, Tyler, Brooklyn, and Boston. I'm just sad for me :(

Just a little political humor!!

Bunnies can't talk.....can they?

So Last night the Easter Bunny called Boston and Brooklyn. (I never got a call from the Easter Bunny when was a kid) Amber put the phone on speaker while Tyler recorded the event on video. Upon hearing the Easter Bunny's voice, Brooklyn freaked, ran to her room, and slammed the door. Boston stayed on the phone and had a very nice chat with the Easter Bunny.

OK, so Real Estate isn't always easy. The stress in my day is in direct relationship to the number of stupid people I have to deal with. I could write a separate blog on each transaction that would keep everyone pretty entertained. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of time.

Shocker

Thought I would stun my daughters and add a new post.

I know that Mom worries that I work all the time, stress out regularly, and occasionally ignore her a bit. BUT, she's my everything and I love her more than words can tell. I am so fortunate to still be in love with the same woman after 27 years and I recognize and appreciate that. I hope all of my daughters can live happily ever after as I am.

Central America Cruise

Here are pictures from out 27th anniversary cruise on the Carnival Miracle. We watched ships pass through the Panama Canal, and scaled some ancient Mayan ruins. We also slept and ate but the pictures of that are really boring.

Belize

Amber told us that if we were in Belize city in Central America and traveled 2 hours to the ancient Mayan city of Xunatunich, scaled the tallest temple, and turned on our cell phone, we could get service.......ha! Well, here's a picture of mom talking to Amber on my cell phone from the top of the tallest temple in Belize with the country of Guatemala in the background. It just goes to show that Amber knows her stuff when it comes to cell phones!

Our First Blog

Wow! We feel so up to date now. We have a blog! It's our first blog! Thank you Tarah for setting up our blog! So...what exactly is a blog? It sounds like something from a 1960's science fiction movie that takes over a small town in Iowa. I can visualize people running down the street attempting to out run the blog.
