Do you remember when your kids were younger and loved seeing themselves in pictures or videos? With Gabe, I could barely record him for two seconds before he’d ask to see himself on the screen! Well, not too much has changed. We love reliving fun moments through photos and videos. Our slideshows from the last…

Falling into Fall Routines
Our summer passed quickly! After a hot, great month in Sedona, a few visits to National Parks, and several awesome hikes around Breckenridge, CO, we are now back to some regular work and school routines. It’s always nice for me to be able to plan healthy meals, know where we are going to sleep for…
Birthday Hike to Mt. Quandary
What do you love to do? What if you could do that each year on your birthday? I feel so lucky that the last two birthdays I’ve been able to hike up mountains. Colorado has over 50 mountains with stellar views that are taller than 14,000 ft. I’m not sure that I can hit all…
Evening Hike to Mohawk Lake
So, I have a thing for sunset hikes. There’s nothing like the evening light for photos or the colorful display reflected in the clouds in the sky. I soak in all the beauty! We love having trails to ourselves, and that tends to happen more often later in the day. Don and I enjoyed a hiking…
Hiking the Narrows
The Narrows Hike in Zion National Park is one of the most unique hikes in the country. The majority of the hike is through water in the middle of a beautiful canyon. Our family had attempted this hike a few years ago in April, but the water was too frigid to make it more than…
Red Rock Crossing, Sedona
You’ve probably seen the iconic image of Sedona – Cathedral Rock set in the distance behind a beautiful flowing river. I was determined to find that spot during our stay in Sedona – especially since it had water, and we were melting in these +100 summer temps! It’s easy to get to once you know…
Nike Tennis Camps
We are loyal fans now of Nike Tennis Camps. We signed up all three of our kids for 5 full days of focused tennis instruction in Sedona, AZ at Enchantment Resort last week. They loved it! From 9-4 each day, they worked on their technique, serves, and strategy, learning from talented, caring coaches. They were separated…
Petrified Forest National Park
I have a secret goal of visiting all the National Parks in the US. Not everyone in my family knows they a part of this goal yet! 😉 But whenever we start to define our new destinations, I try to see if we can squeeze in another National Park on route. (There are 58, and…
Alaska
How can we capture Alaska in words? The beauty really is magnificent, just as everyone says. It’s almost too surreal – as if living in a photo. We got to spend three weeks this last summer in Alaska, using Anchorage as a home base. Anchorage is just a normal mid-size, almost suburban-like American city. It’s…
Park City 2016
The Salt Lake City area is a pretty special place to our family. We lived just south of the city for a bit when the boys were very young and got our first fix of snowboarding, taking a lesson at Snowbird with my sisters and Don’s brother over Thanksgiving weekend. Our front door opened up…
Nashville in Review
Green tree tops and warm temps in Nashville feel like such a lifetime away! But it’s neat to reflect and remember our time there over the fall. We really enjoyed spending that time with my nephews. All my kids enjoyed just being around them, helping with walks to the park or baths and just making…
Durango With the Dewey’s
Our family really loves hitting the road. While it feels like a 6 month vacation in many ways here in Summit County, Colorado, we actually do get a little “cabin fever.” So this year, we decided to take a few winter road trips to visit some different mountains and mix things up. We have been to…
