It's been too long.....

......And it's not like we are up to nothing!! 

Roxy has been to the vet more times than I care to count in the last 6 weeks, but she is finally starting to heal and is off of crate rest.....FINALLY!  WTH vet-don't you realize that she is a border collie, ie: must use up energy daily or you will create a very irritable doggie?!

David's birthday was March 27th and he declared that day Plaid Day.  I've never seen more plaid in my life. 
On our way:

We went to a Rockies game during the opening series!!  And even though it went to 14 innings and eventually we did lose by 1, we still had a great time. 

We started doing Sunday morning bike rides with some friends and Amy is very out of shape!  We have completed 2 weekends in a row and both rides were about 15 miles.  Pretty good for Amy's first 2 rides (I think!).
Speaking of bike rides......guess what we're doing?  The MS 150.  Yeah-you read that right.  A 150 mile bike ride over 2 days at the end of June.  So on June 26-27, be thinking good energy and thoughts because I am definitely going to need it!  ;)  We just started my training and I can barely do 15 miles.....I wonder if 2 months is long enough to get me in the shape I will need to be in.  I guess we will find out soon enough!

Amy is also taking a cooking class!  Tonight is my second and final class in my little 'series.'  Last Thursday we were skilled in all of this: Field Greens with Champagne Vinaigrette; Triangle Tip Roast with Roasted Mushroom and Shallot Ragout; Sautéed Filet of Salmon with Aioli; Rice Pilaf; Broccoli with Shallots and Mustard Seed; Rustic Apple Crostada with Caramel Sauce.
Tonight during our 4 hours of fun we will be creating: Southwestern Black Bean Soup; Classic Caesar Salad; Pasta with Roasted Tomato Sauce; Perfect Herb-Roasted Chicken with Marsala-Sun Dried Tomato Sauce; Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce; Wine Poached Pears with Homemade Cinnamon Ice Cream.

Last weekend we watched our friend Wendy's little 5 month old puppy.  She loves to snuggle and Jeff likes to snuggle....they were a match made in heaven.
Isn't she cute?? 

We have been to Mammoth games and Playoff Avs games!  And even though the Mammoth have decided to lose almost every game this season, the Avs pulled through with a big OT win! 

Life had been busy lately, but we've been doing lots of awesome fun stuff-so busy is good.  Vegas for Jeffrey's birthday is less than 9 days away and I can't wait.  We love Vegas, and have some pretty fun things planned.  I'm hoping we can get it all done in the time we're there, but if not, oh well-there is always next time. 

Oh-and Happy Earth Day!!!  Do something good for the environment today, and keep doing it.
