Executive Ride at Monte Cristo

Cory, Michael J., Jen, Larry, Me, (as if you couldn't tell) Mikey, and Dave overlooking the "Grand Canyon". This is not the real Grand Canyon of course, but the Grand Canyon of Monte Cristo. I just realized looking at this picture, Mikey is as tall as Dave.

Dave and I are standing on the edge of a very steep drop off. I'm having to hold on to Dave out of shear fear. (Booger Kiss Ridge)

My good friend Jen Johnson showing that she can play with the big boys.

Michael J. just can't seem to keep his skis level with the ground.

Mikey catching some big air.

Mikey went big and a tree jumped right out in front of him.

Beaver Creek Trip

Even though I had a ten page paper to write, Dave convinced me that we needed to have a mini vacation. We gallivanted off to our favorite bed and breakfast for a couple of days of snowmobiling fun. Dave and I, equiped with GPS, made our way into Idaho along a ridgeline, to a marvelous place called "Hogs Trough". The veiws were spectacular from there.

Dave is looking mighty fine at the begining of a beautiful day.

Dave and I found our way to Sunrise campground. In the background, if you look real close, you an see frozen Bear Lake.

This is a picture of a cool looking dead tree located in one of my favorite playgrounds, Peter Sinks. This area is located a few miles away from our future cabin site.

Our New Addition to the Family

Meet Wilson; he is my new puppy. His breed is called a Shorkie. A cross between a Shitz Zhu and a Yorkie. Dave bought him for me as an early Valentines Day present.

How could you not love a face like that?

I don't know which is cutest, Dave or Wilson.

Tim's day date for Senior Prom started out by taking Frannie and friends GoKart racing. According Tim, "It was heart thumping exiciting."

Jalapeno & Lime Hummus Recipe

I normally don't like Hummus, but this recipe turned out pretty darned good. Just don't breath on anybody after you eat it.

1 16-oz. can chilled chick peas or garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed

Juice of one large fresh lime

2 tablespoons peanut butter

3 cloves fresh garlic

2 heaping tablespoons pickled jalapenos

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

a good pinch of cumin, to taste

red pepper flakes, to taste

a pinch of sea salt, to taste

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Serve with fresh carrot sticks, or serve with homemade chips made with whole wheat tortillas. Personally, I don't care for whole wheat tortillas. They don't roll well and taste like cardbord. Prepared this way though, they actually don't taste bad at all, and it's good for you. I cut the tortillas in eighths, arrange them on a cookie sheet, and spray with olive oil. Bake in the oven at 300 degrees.

Molly The Labrador

Tim decided it was time to get a new dog. He looked for weeks at the shelters and dog rescues. He just couldn't find a dog he liked; that is until he met Molly the Labrador.

Awww...Isn't she cute!

I know this picture doesn't belong here, but I though it was cute.

Chris Turns Twenty One!

Can you believe it? Chris turned 21. Dave and I offered to take him to vegas, but as usual, he chose to have a home cooked meal made by yours truly. I made him one of his favorite dishes; Lasagna with french bread and Antipasto Salad. Where does the time go?

The Three Stooges!

Hmmm... What could this be?

Michael bought Chris a Japanese wall hanging for his Birthday.
