February Flies By!

February has flown by... just like the rest of the time we've spent here in CO... so here's a quick recap of the month.


February started off with a big snow storm for the Ranch.  Hubble enjoyed the foot and half of snow we got and we spent the day going back to our childhood days frolicking in the snow in our "backyard".
 Hubble had a new BFF for a few days. 
Poor Hubs... Snowballs stuck everywhere!  

We spent Valentine's Day with the Nuggets basketball players & Jason sent these pretty flowers to brighten up my desk at work... aww...
The Nuggets won the game (woot!) but were only 1 point away from the 110 point taco deal.  1 more point and we could have had 4 tacos for $1!  Don't ask me any of the players names... now that I'm thinking about it, I can't even remember what team they played. ha. oops!

That weekend we met up with Jody, Garrett, Ash, Scott, Kar, and Abe for wine tasting downtown at Wild Women Wine.  We decided to buy the Skinny Bitch Sauvignon Blanc. :)  I had some extra time between work & drinks so I did a little shopping along the 16th street mall before meeting up with everybody... should I go back for the Tiger shirt!?!


This month also included our first trips to Winter Park for the ski season! Jason is catching on fast... We did a couple of blue runs and he made it down without falling.  Our first trip up was a gorgeous day and we spent lunch lounging in the sun at Snoasis. 


After a long day of skiing... we hit up the hot tub at our apt complex.  So nice!
Hubble was a little jealous of our outdoor activities so I took him to the dog park for some fun in the snow.  Found out that he does NOT like the CRV.  He won't get in!  I'm not sure what it is... but he won't jump into the car so I have to LIFT him in. UGH.  That's not going to last long- he better overcome his fear ASAP.
He did have a good time at the park once he got there though.

Last weekend we went up for another weekend of skiing... but this time got caught in the wind.  You wouldn't guess it by this picture- look how nice it is at the top of the mountain!
Little did we know that when we came down the slopes that they had shut down the lift that would take us back to the Winter Park side of the mountain.  We had to HIKE out!  I should have taken pictures because there were probably 100-200 people hiking up the mountain to the nearest lift.  They finally sent snow mobiles down to tow us up.  After that we did just a couple more runs and they closed down a few more lifts due to the wind.  We decided to call it a day and head down to Idaho Springs for some beer and a buffalo burger and wings. YUM.  That hit the spot and I took a 2 hour nap when we got home... worn out! 

Looking forward to what March holds... which includes 3 weekends of fabulous visitors!  Can't wait to see the Brays, Hembergers, Flugums, and VGs!!!
