Trip to Glenwood Springs with Schofields and Cornells. We had such a great time! Playing board games, walking up and down the road with Finn a million times, hiking to Hanging Lake, and hitting up the Adventure Park. That Adventure Park is so dang fun! The swing! The rollercoaster! And then hitting up the hot…
Rusty here. Gemini turned my journal entry into quite the exciting high adventure trip report: Embarking on the Holy Cross Wilderness: A Backpacking Odyssey Anticipation crackled in the air that Wednesday evening as we meticulously checked our packs, ensuring every essential item was accounted for. X and Y’s tardiness added a touch of unexpectedness to…
Casa Bonita! We had to go see if it lived up to its newly renovated hype. We did have a pretty darn fun time. THE wedding. The one we’ve all been talking about for an entire year. It did not disappoint. Kari was an exquisite mother of the groom, Kaleb and Madysen had the sweetest…
After the celebration, the whole family headed to Park City for a few days of relaxation and connection. We really needed this! The house was awesome–it had a racquetball court in the basement, along with weights, badminton, ping pong and volleyball. The kids had a blast down there! We also had the most beautiful deck…

About a month before his birthday I asked Blake if he had any presents in mind. He said he didn’t. I asked if I could take all his birthday budget and surprise him. He was very intrigued and agreed. Blake’s favorite music artist right now is NF. He was going on tour over the summer…
Welcome to Maycember! It’s just go, go go. Rusty took Josh on a well deserved awesome kid date. Josh has had a stressful month and this was just what the dr ordered. They got last minute tickets to Nuggets vs Timberwolves (Nuggets lost) and then had a feast at Ocean Prime. These two showing off…
In no particular order, here’s a glance at April happenings The Deacons go to Moab on a “mini high adventure.” Despite A LOT of time in the car, they had a really great time exploring Arches, and hiking in a slot canyon.
Prom this year was at the Aquarium. Josh said it was a great venue. Minimal dancing. Their group had dinner at the Cope’s house, we went downtown for pictures, then the dance, after prom party where the gambling room was the hit of the night, and then Waffle House for 3am breakfast. I’d say it…
