Granola

Merry Christmas

2011-12-30T13:17:00.004-07:00

Better late than never. Here are some pictures from Copper Mountain late November. We watched Santa and Mrs. Claus in the snow cat parade, and then light the tree in center village. Granola had a great time even though it was bitter cold.

Exercise

2011-11-07T12:09:00.003-07:00

Granola decided she wanted the exercise, so she hiked instead of riding the magic carpet.

Snowboarding

Opening Day Runs

2011-11-05T11:16:00.002-06:00

This was her last run of the day.

Opening Day at Copper

2011-11-05T11:07:00.004-06:00

We all headed down to Copper opening day not really expecting to ride based on how Granola was the entire morning. Things turned around once we got to the mountain. She was polite and patient while we waited in line to get our passes, it was a warm wait. And when it was time to hit the slopes, she was ready. Granola took almost ten runs and wanted the "exercise", so she decided to hike up the hill instead of taking the magic carpet. She did really well, even had a couple falls, which were followed up by smiles. All around good opening day of the season for Granola on the hill. This year we're hoping to teach her how to turn and stop on her own.

Happy Halloween

2011-11-05T04:20:00.000-06:00

We had a fun Halloween. Granola dressed up as Tigger, thanks Jeremiah. We headed to Trick or Treat St. in town and got some goodies, hit up a few houses in our neighborhood, and went home for a small get together with some of Granola's friends. They decorated pumpkins, cookies and ran around the house all sugared up.

Our Zoo Anniversary

2011-10-07T16:20:00.000-06:00

We made sure we saw everything there was to see and do everything there was to do. We rode the train and the Merry Go Round. Granola absolutely loved everything and was in awe of every animal. It was really fun seeing her reactions to everything.

She chose the lion for the first ride.

An arm load of loot. Spoiled.
And she got a little rest on the drive home. After her nap she tore her penguin apart to "see what the squeaker was."

Zoo II

2011-10-06T16:20:00.001-06:00

Just a handful of pictures from our wonderful day at the zoo.

Denver Zoo

2011-10-05T04:20:00.000-06:00

After our weekend in GJ we decided to go to the Denver Zoo for our anniversary. We had an amazing day even though it was all about Granola, as usual.

She loves penguins.

Hiking Swan Mountain

2011-10-04T04:20:00.000-06:00

After running some errands in the county we headed out for a short hike at Swan Mt. There were some nice colors in the Aspens.

Wedding Photos

2011-10-03T16:20:00.000-06:00

She had to do some dancing before we left. She was really tired, so it was pretty humorous to see.

Our Little Flower Girl

2011-10-03T04:20:00.000-06:00

We had our step sisters wedding to attend in GJ the weekend when we came home from NY. Mom and Granola were both in the wedding so they were looking super cute. The wedding went great and we all had a wonderful time.

Goodbye NY, Until Next Time

2011-10-02T17:20:00.000-06:00

Our entire trip was nice and relaxing. It was great spending so much time with everyone. We can't wait for the next trip out. The flights back home went as smooth as they could have. We had the same flight to Atlanta as Aunt Nancy, so she bought us lunch during our layover. That was nice spending a little extra time with her before heading back home. Thanks for that Nancy.

We had a nice family picnic at Aunt Julie's one day. Lots of good food and the weather even held out for us. Afterward we headed out for some ice cream.

NY, NY

2011-10-01T16:20:00.000-06:00

More pictures of time spent with family. Granola was able to pick some tomatoes with Gram, which was a treat. Mom really need a picture of a self serve store that are located all over upstate NY. This seemed out of the ordinary for her.

Tea Party with Aunt Nancy

Fish On

2011-10-01T04:20:00.001-06:00

We had a nice relaxing morning fishing. Granola got to spend some good quality time with her Grandpa and Uncle. It was fun watching how excited she would get when someone would catch a fish.

Watching Uncle Dave reel one in.
Grandpa convincing her to put her finger in its mouth.

Nice fishy.

Going Fishing

2011-09-30T16:20:00.000-06:00

We had a great time fishing with Grandpa Jim and Uncle Dave. Everyone caught some sunfish, and even some bass. Mom claimed that this was the first fish she ever caught. Granola even was able to reel in some sunfish. She had so much fun and had to pet every fish we landed.

Her first fish ever, sunfish.
She even caught the biggest bass of the day.

Showing Grandpa were the fish are.

Cows

2011-09-30T04:20:00.000-06:00

Grandpa Jim took Granola to see the cows/calves on two different occasions. She sure loves cows, and petting them.

Down on the Farm

2011-09-29T16:20:00.000-06:00

After hanging out with the cows she was able to get some tractor time with Grandpa Jim and Aunt Julie.

Fall Hikes

2011-09-29T14:20:00.000-06:00

Just to mix it up a bit, here are some pics from a recent hike at Turquoise Lake. The colors have been very bright and vibrant this season, and the hikes through have been amazing.

Mattie's House

2011-09-29T04:20:00.000-06:00

Just a handful of more pictures from spending time with Mattie.

BFF

2011-09-28T17:20:00.000-06:00

Granola was super excited to see her best friend Mattie this vacation. I think there was only 1 day they didn't get to hang out. They played a lot outside, jumped a lot on the spare bed and ran all over the house as loud as can be. There was one evening that we were treated to Rhino rides around the Deusenbery's property. That was super fun.

New York

2011-09-28T04:20:00.000-06:00

Our trip back home was all about spending time with family and friends. It was very nice to see everyone and for Granola to have cousins to play with again. Granola was spoiled by everyone and was nice enough to give everybody some quality one on one time, which was really great.

Detroit Airport

2011-09-27T19:33:00.000-06:00

We ended up sitting around Detroit airport for almost 8 hours! It was a bit ridiculous, but mom stepped up and kept Granola occupied, fed and entertained the entire time. I would say they covered the entire airport at least twice and even found some toys to play on. It was a rough day but could have been a lot worse if the babe wasn't so good.

Wow, That's a lot of Pictures

2011-09-27T17:41:00.003-06:00

So with the trips to NY, the zoo and back to GJ we have over 1200 pictures to go through. Here is a picture of Granola being silly at home. I've got a couple blogs done, but a lot more to go, so please be patient as this could take a little time.

Trip Back To NY

2011-09-27T17:21:00.004-06:00

Out trip back started with a night in Denver. An early flight out to Detroit and a quick flight to Rochester and we would be there, if only it went that smoothly. With a late departure out of Denver and Dad getting some motion sickness on the flight we missed our connection to Rochester. With the help of some fine Delta employees we were able to then again miss the next connection, but were fortunate enough to catch the 10 o'clock flight.
Ready to go to NY, the night before.

Enjoying some on board entertainment thanks to mom's iPad.

NY Preview

2011-09-15T12:06:00.004-06:00

The trip started off well in Denver and took a turn for the worse in Detroit. We were there for over 8 hours thanks to Delta. Once we were in NY everything went smooth. Lots of time with family and friends that was greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures to show some of the good times. More blogs coming next week, hopefully.

Playing Around the House

2011-08-28T16:20:00.001-06:00

Its pretty funny the things Granola comes out wearing nowadays.

She loves her cats.

Copper Pictures

2011-08-27T16:20:00.000-06:00

Its unbelievable that summer is almost over. We still have a couple things to cross off our list, but they are planned for the next month. We have had such a great time as a family this summer.

Copper Bungee Video

2011-08-26T04:20:00.000-06:00

She had so much fun.

Sellar Lake

2011-08-25T16:20:00.000-06:00

Despite the forecast for rain we headed out for one more camping trip up and over Hagerman Pass. We ended up at Sellar Lake. It was quiet and peaceful. We did some hiking and fishing, no luck fishing, but I didn't see a single fish in that lake.

Another Day at Copper

2011-08-24T16:20:00.000-06:00

We had another great day at Copper this week. Granola even tried the bungee trampoline, and had a great time. Here is just a quick tease of more photos to come from Copper and our last camping trip this week.

Hatchery

More pictures from around the hatchery.

Fish Hatchery

2011-08-22T16:20:00.000-06:00

Here is our new favorite spot for so many reasons. From feeding fish to hiking, picnicking, swinging, and bike rides.

Steamboat

2011-08-21T04:20:00.000-06:00

Some pictures of the babe enjoying the hot springs and once again rain. Granola loves splashing in puddles.

Steamboat and Happy 30th!

2011-08-20T16:20:00.000-06:00

We had a great time in Steamboat for Mom's 30th birthday. We were able to go to the alpine slides, hot springs, Fish Creek Falls, shop downtown, and swim at the hotel at all hours amongst many other things. Happy Birthday Mom! A bit late on the blog.

Campout

2011-08-19T04:20:00.000-06:00

The last two camp outs we got rained on. That was our month of July, if you wanted to do anything outdoors you were going to get rained on. This time we were up on Shrine Pass, behind Vail. We took a nice bike ride down to Red Cliff and had a wet and long 6 mile up hill ride back to camp, I would guess at least 15oo ft up. Granola has really been enjoying staying up late, roasting marshmallows, hiking, and fishing while out camping.

Camping & Fishing

2011-08-18T16:20:00.000-06:00

Camping has been great this summer. We've gotten three trips in with one more planned before summers end. This was up on the east side of Weston Pass.

Picnic

2011-08-17T06:20:00.000-06:00

Our new favorite spot is the local fish hatchery. There are numerous hiking trails and a small park for picnics. Granola is really becoming a great trail runner. She just will not slow down, sometimes running a quarter to half a mile. We have hiked a mile loop and also a 2.5 mile loop. She finally is comfortable on the big kid swing also.

Copper

2011-08-17T04:20:00.000-06:00

We got Granola a summer season pass to Copper, so we've been trying to go as much as possible. We all were able to ride the go carts one day which was super fun. She starting to play mini golf here for the first time also. It seems the free activities are the favorites for her.

That is a huge piece of pizza, I wonder...
..how it tastes.

Boom Days

2011-08-16T16:20:00.000-06:00

We went to the parade with family and met up with some friends. we didn't spend too much time down town because we were also having a get together for mom's big 3-0. It was fun to have family in town and also some of mom's old friends who had little ones for Granola to play with. It was a good weekend.Granola was able to ride the train, bounce in the castle and even pet some animals(new this year).

Mini Golf

2011-08-15T06:20:00.000-06:00

Between I-70 and Steamboat lies a small town with a rodeo ground and a public mini golf course. We stopped on our way up for mom's birthday. Granola has gotten a few days putting this summer and is getting better every time.

Bike

2011-08-15T04:20:00.000-06:00

Granola finally decided to start riding her bike, and not just her tricycle. She is really good and enjoys it a lot. Here's just a normal day getting a little riding in and running around the yard.

More Soccer

2011-08-12T13:20:00.005-06:00

Soccer camp went very well for Granola. She participated in almost everything and got a great report card from her coach. She even says she will go back next summer.

Soccer Camp

2011-07-12T18:47:00.003-06:00

One of the only activities available to Granola in town this summer is soccer camp. Just a few days before her first day we got an email saying not enough 3 year olds signed up so it was cancelled unless we wanted her with the 4-5 year olds. So, we obviously went with the latter. She has done really well and seems to enjoy it.

Camping Part II

2011-06-29T16:20:00.000-06:00

Sunset from camp.

Mmmm, smores.
Hiking around at dusk.

Camping

2011-06-29T04:20:00.000-06:00

We headed south to some warmer weather and our first camp out of the summer. We got super lucky and the first side road we checked had an amazing camp site and no one around. We had a wonderful time hiking around and checking out what the area had to offer. It was also the first time we used our enormous 6 person tent for the 3 of us. It worked out pretty good, the best sleep we've had camping together at least.

Frisco Hike/Silverthorne Park

2011-06-28T16:20:00.001-06:00

We headed to the county for a hike and playtime at the Silverthorne Park. Dillon also has the bakery that makes Cookie Monster cupcakes, which is a must have for Granola.

This is probably her favorite park so far.

Checking out Dillon Reservoir.

Mom's Company Party

2011-06-28T06:20:00.000-06:00

We went to the Glenwood Fun Park for mom's party this year. We all had fun with all the different activities there. Granola really liked the alpine coaster and 4D theatre. Another favorite was the Giddy up. She was able to get a geode and have it cut right in front of her. We were able to sneak her on the trampoline which she wasn't that impressed with. And of course the tram rides up and down. All in all another great time.

Quick GJ Trip

2011-06-28T04:20:00.000-06:00

We headed to GJ for Jeremiahs birthday. We went to Rocket Park and had some pizza and cupcakes. Granola and Jeremiah had fun playing and probably would have played all night if allowed. We had to walk the entire main street before we left for home so Granola could see all there was to see. Her favorites were the climbing wall and the water fountain, obviously.

Fathers Day at Copper

2011-06-27T08:20:00.001-06:00

After our hike we headed to Copper for some activities and lunch. Mom was the choice for the boats and Dad for the go carts. By the end of the go cart ride Granola was almost laying flat on her back. We all had a great time and plan on making frequent stops at Copper this summer.

Fathers Day Hike

2011-06-27T04:20:00.001-06:00

Fathers day ended up being really fun. We started our day out hiking at Officers Gulch Lake. Granola loves walking Odie, but its usually for just short periods. Another fun thing she has been doing is finding trees her height and saying "this one is Granola's size".

Hiking in Leadville

2011-06-26T20:23:00.004-06:00

We've been getting a lot of hikes in at Turqouise Lake lately. Mainly because most other trails are still snowed in. We decided to be the first of the season in the parking lot of the Timberline Lake Trail. While getting through the 2 drifts to the clear lot, the trail was snowed in a few hundred yards in. Maybe a couple more weeks. Granola has really been enjoying climbing on rocks while we're hiking, sometimes big ones.

Downtown GJ

2011-06-26T09:04:00.004-06:00

Grand Junction just finished some improvements to its main street that included a lot of activities for the kids. Granola really enjoyed her walk downtown this trip.

Climbing

2011-06-26T08:30:00.003-06:00

After our night of camping we stopped in BV for some time at the park. This was her first day trying the climbing wall. Three attempts in and she was able to do it all by herself. The next day I took her to the Leadville park with a climbing wall. This park is rated for 5-12 year olds and she did their climbing wall 1st try! I will need to get video of that and post it soon. She really is an amazing climber.

What a Week

2011-06-25T09:00:00.003-06:00

To start we headed to Copper and picked up Granola her summer season pass. We also got a nice hike in at Officers Gulch. Tuesday was a trip to Frisco for a hike, and Silverthorne for the park. And we ended the week with a night of camping. I will try to catch up on the photos later, but here is a favorite from Copper(on fathers day).

Hanging at the Hotel

2011-06-13T04:20:00.000-06:00

We opted for the king room with a hot tub, never again. Granola needs her own bed. When she realizes someone is sleeping next to her, she will pedal you like a bike. The hotel had a nice indoor pool and hot tub for us to play in. And their breakfast included Lucky Charms!

Childrens Museum

2011-06-12T19:58:00.000-06:00

We started our trip off at the Children's Museum. Kind of small but a lot for Granola to do. She was able to play in the bubble room, paint, played with tools and ran around a nice park outside.

Aquarium II

2011-06-12T16:20:00.000-06:00

Just some more pics from the aquarium, she really had a good time, its too bad its in Denver.

The Aquarium

2011-06-12T13:19:00.005-06:00

The babe really enjoyed the Aquarium, especially the sea horses and sea turtles. We had lunch at the Aquarium restaurant which was sub par and over priced.

Summer Time?

2011-06-12T04:20:00.000-06:00

The entire month of May seemed to be snow. Finally the sun broke out and we were able to get out and enjoy it. We took Granola out of Pre-school for the summer and in doing so we decided to do something significant every week to make up for that loss. Our first week we headed to Denver. The Children's museum and aquarium were on the schedule for day one. Day 2 would include a stop at the Heritage Amusement park and alpine slide.

1st Salon Cut

2011-06-11T16:20:00.000-06:00

It did not go well. Her stylist, whom never had any children, practically ripped her head from her neck combing out her hair prior to the cut. Needless to say the rest of the time was spent crying. We'll stick to cutting her hair ourselves for now.

A Couple Pics

2011-06-11T14:02:00.001-06:00

Wavy really puts up with a lot from Granola but she always goes back for more.

We've had some colds to deal with since Granola started Pre-School.

Mothers Day

2011-06-11T11:44:00.003-06:00

A bit late on the post. Happy Mothers Day, Moms. We drove out to Breck to surprise mom since she had to work.

Happy Easter

2011-04-28T16:20:00.000-06:00

Unfortunately mom had to work for Easter, so we went down to Copper again. This year they opened it from 3 and under to 6 and under. It was very intimidating for Granola but she still grabbed 20 or so eggs of the thousands. There were kids that had hundreds of eggs. Hope everyone had a great day!

Hot Springs

2011-03-24T17:58:00.003-06:00

We went down to the hotsprings last week and were the only ones there for about 2 hours. That was nice and relaxing.

Ipod

2011-03-22T04:20:00.000-06:00

Granola pick pocketed dads ipod the other day, and just made herself at home playing her games.

Sledding with Grandma Dixie

2011-03-21T20:33:00.002-06:00

Grandma Dixie got the nerve together to go for a run with Granola on her birthday, yikes.

Sledding at Dutch Henry

2011-03-20T04:20:00.004-06:00

We've been doing a lot of sledding over at Dutch Henry hill across town lately. Granola just loves it.

This was from the beginning of the day. I love it because she falls and doesn't give up. This also shows how she is starting to get a bit of board control. So proud of her.

2011-01-22T04:20:00.001-07:00

We have had a very cold winter so far. Days with wind chills dropping in the 40 below zero range. We have gotten out a bunch to play in the snow and a few trips down to Copper. She has been hit or miss on the Copper days.

The Artist

2011-01-21T17:30:00.004-07:00

Granola sure loves to work on art projects. We got her a piggy bank and skateboard she could paint herself for x-mas. I know, her 2nd skateboard already. She got an enormous box of art supplies from Grandpa Ron and Grandma Dixie that has kept her occupied for many hours. One of her favorites is the rainbow crayon maker she got for x-mas. Lately she has been coloring, finger painting, painting, puppet making, and stamping among a few other things. She loves to stay busy.
Painting her new skate deck.

Finger Painting, she made a great big painting with a ton of perfect little hand prints.

2011-01-21T17:07:00.004-07:00

Granola got a Tag Jr. reader awhile back from Grandma Dixie. She got a handful of new books for x-mas and has read everyone numerous times. She sure does love reading and being read to.

I think mom was trying to capture her great hairdo this one morning.

Eye Make-Up

2011-01-21T17:03:00.004-07:00

So, Granola decided to put on her make up this morning while mom was in the bathroom getting ready for work. Luckily they were the washable markers that only take a soapy rag to wipe away.

2010-11-05T14:15:00.003-06:00

This is the run that blew mom and dad away. We cannot believe how well she is taking to both skiing and snowboarding. I think she would have kept snowboarding all day if we would have let her. This was the most fun riding I've had in awhile.

Opening Day 2010

2010-11-05T13:54:00.004-06:00

Today was opening day at Copper Mountain. Dad was determined to get Granola her first opening day of riding. Someone hasn't been the best 2 year old lately and we almost didn't go. We made it to the mountain with little incident. We took the main lift up with her skis first and we had her ski the entire run down, with mom and dad of course. You wouldn't think it but helping her down the mountain took a lot out of both mom and dad. We decided to head over to the magic carpet with her snowboard. I was absolutely blown away by her progress from last season. Here are a couple videos of the babe getting some early season runs in. Granola had a blast and I have a feeling we will be at the mountain a lot this year.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween. The babe even went Trick or Treating downtown. Most of the treats will be ours but there are some she can have.
So this blog only took 3 days to complete. For some reason there were issues uploading photos. Not sure why, never had issues before. Hopefully it will resolve itself.

October

2010-10-28T12:32:00.003-06:00

Yes, we are alive and well. The blog on the other hand is struggling to stay afloat. We'll try to get the rest of Sept updated and all of Oct in the next week or so, maybe? Fall held on as long as it could, but then winter arrived, quickly. We got about a foot of accumulation over a 3 day period. We'll see if it stays. Granola had some fun playing in the first snow of the season.

Skate

We tried to skate a bit one day at Joel's house. She was able to scoot around on her belly and bottom.

September?

Sorry. Here's some shots from biking the mineral belt trail sometime this past month.

Copper Mt. Boating

Back at Copper for a day of playing. Mom was able to take Granola out on the bumper boats this time. They had a lot of fun.

Not sure who's more excited about shooting dad?

The Train

2010-08-15T10:20:00.000-06:00

That weekend was Grandpa Ron's birthday so we all took a ride on the train for something special to do. Granola loved it and so did Grandpa. We got lucky with the weather and had a wonderful morning in the mountains. We've had rain, it seems like almost everyday since the beginning of July.

Looking back towards Leadville near our stopping point.

She just had to have the train book.
