Some new pics

Hello all! It's been awhile - I know and I am sorry! In my defense - I have either been sick or buying something - if that counts! LOL

Here are some updated pics from us!!!

This one is of the Grand Mesa - from the cross-street to my house! Isn't it pretty!!!



This one is a pic from my son's friend's house! They built a nice snowman then painted him blue! LOL

Don't ask! LOL - this is in the Jeep as we were heading to Wal-Mart one Saturday - he's being goofy!!!

Ok - now on to the "purchase" part I mentioned earlier! Here is one of our latest purchases! I say "one of" because I also purchased a washer/dryer out of necessity - I might post pics later! But this one was cool! We are trying to condense some things that we do. That being said - I now own 3 vehicles for 2 licensed drivers - LOL! ANYWAY = eventually we would like to purchase a Wolf Pack Camper. A Wolf Pack is a hard sided camper with a deck in front for our ATV's. My Jeep will not tow that kind of weight. So - in preparation for that - we needed to get a bigger truck. So we went out "looking" one day. In my family = we don't "Look" = we end up buying! And after a day of searching car lots for what would work for us = we brought home a 2001 Chevy 2500 HD Extended Cab.

Isn't she purty!!! We got a great deal on it! Heck - it wasn't even on the used car lot at the Chevy dealer yet - it was in a back lot - it had just been traded in the week prior to us shopping! I absolutely love it! It is everything that we will need and plus - my hubby has been needing a new truck! The newest truck he has is the 93 Toyota we kept! It was about time for him!

Superbowl!

Hey all! I thought I would share some pictures of our Superbowl - both the pre-game show and what I won!

First = the pre-game show!!! Imagine a nice Colorado snowy day - my hubby looks out our front window and wants me to see the "funny snow shower" we are getting. I look out to see snow - mixed with what I thought was fog. It was pretty cool! I made a casual comment to my husband about "are you sure someone didn't just start their car and that is the exhaust?". A few minutes later - curiousity had got the best of his and he went out to see what the "fog" was. Below are a few pictures of what happened next - - -

Here is the Fire Department (can you tell where this is going?)













This is at a house - two down from mine. A high school kid had started his Blazer and went into the house to let it 'warm' up - and boy did it! LOL - this started with a little fire under the hood and escalated to a fully engulfed mess - windows were shattering - the gas tank was hissing -it wasn't pretty!













This is after it was out - still so much smoke!














And here it is = the poor kid's burned out mess!























On a different note = I won a Superbowl Prize pack from a local radio station!!! I was the first to answer their trivia question correct! The question? Who is the NFL player who has played in the most Superbowls. NOW - before I answer that for you ---- not only do I have to look it up again -- but I need to place this disclaimer: I was already researching Superbowl trivia for a newsletter I do at work - so just happened to have that information sitting in front of me - how stinkin lucky is that????


Ok - Answer = Mike Lodish with 6 (four for Buffalo and two for the Broncos)!!!!



I won a whole bunch of things! I won a set of glasses with a glass pitcher, a free pizza at Nick-n-Willy's and a set of four really fun dinner plates (sort of Southwest style)!































The next picture shows the table runner, two helmets, 4 small serving plates, 2 large platters and the blow up football that serves as a cooler set up for our small little party!!!! It was so cool! It sure made the party!!! (well pre-game show excluded of course!!!)




























Well - that was Superbowl and what an awesome game it was!!! I loved it!!! Go New York!!! LOL
