You might be getting one of these for Christmas (One of my goals this year is to get the x-mas shopping done asap) ...don't worry big sis i read the bottom and it's BPA Free! 

Co Trip x 10!

I'm really not sure how we ever expected to pull off a 10 person trip to Co with K & I doing ALL the coordination & planning, but some how we did!  Maybe travel agents aren't a thing of the past???

Tons of fun, sun, snow, family and friends!  Big shout outs to J, Aunt A and cousin D for making the extra effort to come hang out with us!  Extra Big shout outs to L & E for putting up with all of us and letting us take over the house (and how awesome it was to come home to really great hot dinners each day)!

        

I love this place!

 

Flight delays

Oh my, we're stuck on a plane next to a crying baby. Please don't bring babies on the plane. (But I guess I never would have made it from e-ron if everybody did that!). Can't wait to be off this thing and back in San Diego!!!! Bty I should have titled this "birth control"!

A basin

Another beautiful day on the mountain. Gotta say she's damn cute!

It's dumping outside!

Carrots

Our first carrots!!! What a beautiful day!

Front page...

When we were installing our front doors we apparently "inspired" the neighbors. They borrowed my remaining blue paint from the shed remodel and brought in neighbor kids with all kinds of other paints. The result is the front page of the IB newspaper! The kids interpreted it as a message to not pollute because it goes into the ocean! Right on! If this helps reduce pollution were starting a painting of storm drains campaign. Maybe we start one anyway...

By the way it's a picture perfect 75+ degree sunny day!

Love y la Langosta

This year we've been pretty much going all out when celebrating holidays, birthdays, house restorations, and yeah even snowboarding trips!  Yesterday was more of the same. but first...

Why is it that I've never seen a show about the lobsters in Main (well the lobsters in the Atlantic) and how they live and possibly migrate?  Is it that catching them isn't as deadly as the king crabs in Alaska?  Why is it a lobster and not a crab?  Why do they have pinchers when the spiny ones in the pacific do not?  All questions that can be answered with a internet search or I guess I can just ask my wife!

So I've always wanted to cook a live lobster with claws (I cooked a few spinys on the beach in mexico once).  Well at least since last week I've always wanted to cook a live lobster.  It's crazy that you can order these crustaceans (trying to impress K here with my knowledge of marine terminology) online and have them shipped live.  Ours arrived in a big white ice chest covered in seaweed and sandwiched between two ice packs.  I thought for sure it would be dead.

It was a lively one!  Instructions said "Do Not Remover Rubber Bands Until Fully Cooked".  Good call because this dude would have totally taken a finger off had i given it a chance.  I actually broke our crab crackers trying to bust open a claw.

 Fresh Lobster, butter, lemon and a nice bottle of wine!

It was a super fun evening but I have to say i won't be buying another live lobster again.  I felt so bad for the dude that I almost wanted to let it go in the ocean. Almost.  

   

85% complete!

We have only to clean up, paint the screen doors and get them back on...we're exhausted!

Work in progress

Front doors
