Halloween is in the air!

As many of you know I go absolutely Ga-Ga over Halloween and this year is no exception. With our new house every holiday brings us new ideas of what we could do to look festive for the season. For Halloween I found a spider web online that I loved and reminded me of the webs that my dad made when we were little....but it was about $125!! I don't think so! So instead I bought 200 feet of rope at Home Depot for less than $15 and went to town. Trick-or-Treat here we come!!

...Next is Christmas with Leo's love for Christmas lights. We made need to pass out sunglasses to our neighbors because I think that he just may go Griswald on us this year;)

Fall has arrived!

This was the first weekend in what feels like a while that Leo and I were able to do some fun stuff together.... well, minus Leo having to attend an all day lecture on Saturday...that was not so much fun:( But we made the best of not working/not being on call and had a great fall weekend!!

We started off the weekend going to the Rockies game with some friends. It was a blast! We sat on mile high row (And for those of you that have never been to mile high stadium they denote the mile high altitude with a row of purple chairs...aka, where we sat!), saw a great baseball game and an even better fire works show. They even let fans come onto the field but since our seats were so high up (a mile!! Hello McFly!) we decided to watch from our seats.

Then came my toughest battle of endurance to date.... the neighborhood kickball tournament!! All of our neighbors formed a team together to play in the tourney and although we did not come out victorious we had a great time trying! How could you not when the 'hood provides a moon bounce, pizza, chipotle burritos, and all the PBR that a woman could want while playing... all for free?! We are definitely marking the tourney on the calendar for next year and with the new Denver Seibold additions we just may be unstoppable!!

Finally, on Sunday, Leo picked out what turned out to be a spectacular hike for the two of us to Blue Lake in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. The Aspens are starting to turn and it was a gorgeous drive up to the trail head followed by more spectacular views all the way up to Blue lake, which really is blue and crystal clear! Although we did have a small mishap with the first use of our back country stove we pushed forward and warmed our bellies with some tastiest chile that I have ever had....I was very proud of us and our back country skills:) Enjoy some pics from our hike below. I hope that everyone else had great weekends as well!

Leo is now the pround father of 5!!

5 Godchildren that is;) This weekend was our first trip back to the great plains of Oklahoma since moving in honor of the baptism of Sarah and Curtis' cute little guy, Connor Joseph. We had a great time going around the city and hanging our with our families, seeing my grandma's new house, my grandma's old house that is now Laura and Jeremy's new house, Missy and Robin's renovations, and just being lazy at home;)

Robin and I went cruisin' on his new wheels!

And as the grand finale to the weekend the family all gathered at my parents' house to slice into a cake to find out together what the next addition to the family will be for Laura and Jeremy. Any guesses? We are all thrilled!!! Congrats guys!

Seibolds take over Denver

Neika and Max hit the streets of Denver this weekend for a house hunting extravaganza for their upcoming big move from sunny Cali to snowy Colorado! Leo tagged along as a neutral party for the house hunting while I manned the IV room at the hospital...but it sounds like the kiddos might be able to ride their bikes to their favorite aunt and uncle's house;)

A de-stress dinner after a long day of house hunting with steak and vino...very yummy!
