Lots of Herring Happenings!!!

Mandie's birthday was last Friday night so Brian and I decided to go surprise her. I have not been to see her in AMA since we moved here a year & 1/2 ago (terrible! She lives 90 min from me! and she's been to see me!!!!) so we asked the Jones girls if they would be open to keeping the girls overnight and they were! Abby ended up keeping them BY HERSELF!!!!!! Alli agreed as well but Abby responded first and handled it alone just fine. Alli was available if Abby needed her. We love having grandparents close but we can't always rely on them so we thought we would ask our favorite girls so they could get used to this and things couldn't have gone any better. When Abby came over Friday, I asked her to snap a quick photo of us and WALA!!!!! Done and done! Brian's website is done so we need a family photo stat and Abby delivered!








It's so easy and all to do that with a 3 and 7 month old right? Uh NO! But she did it and it turned out pretty cute! Thanks Abby for everything! I love that you and you sis love our girls. Cameron woke up Sunday asking for Abby. So sweet.

Mandie had NO idea!!!! I planned all this with Chris and things went off without a hitch! She was so surprised! We brought steaks, a potato casserole, salad, and bread and Chris got the wine. A successful team effort. We ate, visited, and played cards. Such a fun time!!! Love you Mandie and here's to many more birthdays with you!!!












Their friend, Justin, joined us and I'm so glad! Hadnt seen him in a long time!!























Saturday night, Brandi Beeler had her famous Halloween party and our Rainbow Bright and Rapunzel had a blast!!! BB goes ALL OUT for the party unlike anything you've ever seen! She even had a haunted house this year!!!!!




















































































Tess sat here, like this, the entire time we were at the party! An hour & 1/2!! Angel baby I tell ya!












We are ON THE MOVE around here!! Thanks for the Walker Mandie. They both LOVE it!

And my nephew, Ian, who is playing tackle football for the first time, scored his FIRST TOUCHDOWN on Sunday!!!! 65 yrd run for the score, noone was catching that boy, my sis said!!! Then he ran the ball in for the 2pt conversion. I'm one proud aunt LiLi!!! Sad to have missed this though. :(

A Christmas Story

So, a couple weeks ago I made a comment to Deb, after seeing the 'leg' lamp from a Christmas story in our new burger restaurant, Twisted Root, that I thought it would be fun to have that on our wet bar and I'll be darned if she didn't just buy that sucker for us!!!! Came in the mail yesterday. She said it was a gift for going with her to CO. So sweet and completely unnecessary but how awesome does that look???? It's perfect there and we could not possibly love it more. Cam noticed it the second she walked in from school yesterday and said, 'look at that funny lamp mom!!!!' :)Thank you Debra, you're the best!






It even came with a bonus night light. Haha, complete greatness!

Pagosa Springs!!

Last Tuesday Debra and I drove to the beautiful PS to winterize her parents' cabin for them and we just had the best time. We were in the car a lot but we took the scenic route going and listened to Gone Girl on the way back so it wasn't bad at all. Look at the leaves changing colors.... Beautiful!!!!!!































Stopped at Penny's Diner in Vaughn for the best patty melt ever. Period.
























Such a good fun place, thanks for telling us about it mom.

Her father paid for us to stay at a hotel as the only source of heat at their cabin is the fireplace, of which, he was afraid we might burn the place down, :) so we stayed at The Pagosa Hot Springs Resort and Spa and Oh.My.Heavens. Beautiful!!!!! This is the worlds deepest hot springs. Oprah traveled here on her 2006 world tour and I now know why! The mother spring comes out of the ground at 151 degrees then flows to 23 different soaking pools that overlook the San Juan River.
















































You can really see the sulphur in this photo














The temps of these pools range from 83 to 114 degrees. The sulphur content in these springs is very high so although beautiful they were pretty stinky! But you get used to it after a while.

The mother spring















Everyone walks around in robes. If you're a guest of the hotel, the springs are open 24/7











When's the last time you played one of these? Love The Junction restaurant for having delicious food and old-timer games like this! :)







Thanks so much Johnny Peck, this was an experience of a lifetime!!
Love you Deb, I'll take another road trip with you anytime!

Also, shout out to the hubby who held down the fort and took care of the girls the 72 hours I was gone. You're the best!!!
