8th Anniversary

It's hard to believe Dan & I met an entire 10 years ago! We celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary in July but celebrated the 1st weekend of August. I planned our trip -- to Denver. I know that might sound strange but it was great! On Saturday morning we drove an hour & a half to the temple, then drove to the Museum to see the Whydah exhibit before it traveled away. Great to learn about real pirates! Example: I had no idea so many of them were runaway Africans or those of mixed decent avoiding slavery. (To the right is a picture of Danny wearing one of the free pirate hats we brought home.)
After the museum we ate at the Cheesecake Factory -- so delicious -- then changed into our Rockies gear at the hotel and WALKED to the stadium. Yup, we could see Coors from the sidewalk entrance. Our seats were fantastic & cheaper than you would suppose. One of my favorite parts was the 7 NYC men in the row behind us making everyone laugh. Yes, we CO folk have no idea what it is to be a real baseball fan, that's for sure. lol. I wish I could always just walk a couple blocks after a game instead of driving home an hour. I'm so spoiled. You'll see a picture Dan took of me seeing if the hotel staff left us sparkling cider or champagne to go with the rose petals. I had told them we didn't drink alcohol but I guess they forgot. Bummer. We had water in the fancy glasses so at least those weren't wasted. (Luckily the anniversary present was at no extra charge.)
In the morning we went to a mass in Polish at St. Joseph's Polish church. I grabbed a couple pictures off the net so you could see how cute it was. Standing room only, I was pretty much clueless but enjoyed taking in the beautiful chapel. Dan said he understood about 2/3rds of what was said. I think that is awesome considering he left Poland in May of '99 (the same month I graduated from Hays High). Afterwards when people were being friendly it was a lot harder for him to speak, but he got pretty good at saying, "My wife doesn't speak Polish." I must have a great deer-in-the-headlights look.
I'm so lucky to have found my wonderful husband at such a young age. Here's to another 8 years, hon! I love you!

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
