Here is mark with Little fury. I don't know which one is cuter!!  

On Sunday we headed out to look at our future puppy - we spent some quality time snuggling the babies. (Puppies pictured here: Matt, Mo, Michael and Mark)  

Mr. Deer was having a snack next to the trail and posed for a photo. Those are some big ears!! 

June 11th, 2005: Chloe came for her first visit to Boulder this weekend, she finally arrived after 13 hours of travel. The luggage arrived Saturday morning and we were off to take a walk in the canyon.  

Finally the racing stripes are revealed! Mark and I have spent a few weekends hanging drywall, painting our garage and getting ready to complete the floors. Next step building the work bench. (no we are not into nascar!) :) 

Morning Glory pool - was beautiful.The pool has changed colors over the year after people have thrown objects into it, blocking the heat. Idiots. (that's me in the upper right corner) 

We headed down to Yellowstone for some geyser viewing. On our walk we came across Riverside Geyser - Mark was pretty impressed. The Geese were also excited to get their weekly spa treatment.  

Mark is getting some advice from the locals at Chico! :) We plan to return for a ride in the fall for Becky's wedding.  

The scenic falls makes for a great photo - My dad, Ann, Becky, Pam, Me and Mark - Heidi is taking the photo.  

We were successful in finding the cache (you can see it in my hand). The Richau and Huntington ladies are great hikers! 

Happy Mother's Day - a little late. I realized I haven't been great about posting and promise to be better. We surprised my mom in Chico for mothers day, who was there to surprise her friend Ann. We decided to try our first Geo-Cache hike - pam is prepared with her GPS and Ann has the additional clue! We are set! 

Mark gets a quick morning tutorial on how to install cabinets in under 10 minutes flat before my parents head home! He knows all the tricks!!  

Mark and My dad planned out the entertainment unit a couple of weeks ago. The pieces arrived and Mark and I spent the weekend staining and constructing. 

My mom and dad were here to help Josh and Amy move in... Pam mentioned that Beef Wellington was one of her favorites, and her wish is Mark's command.  

A perfect end to our gred d visit... FUN-due! Greg is a SUPER STAR! 

We reached the lake only to find that it was frozen!  

Have you seen such tough mountain men? Riiiiicoooolla... 

Greg D came to visit and we decided to take a hike up to Loch Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park - we started out at 9,000' and went up to 10,200' 

As we looked closer - we realized we had crossed into a prairie dog war and we were the targets. (What does Brian say about the Prairie Dog Bite? Is it worse than the squirrel?) 

Yesterday on our walk we ran into a prairie dog who was yelling hello in a high pitch screech (similar to baby river otters)... 

Enjoying the Weather - last weekend Mark and I were able to enjoy the beautiful weather (before the big storm) - Mark is showing off his prototype for a hood he and my dad constructed.  

Fiona all swaddled up sends her bithday wishes... 

Crystal made a stellar meal - chicken and rice, complete with special treats for both mark and I (chocolate souffle and carrot cake) - YUM 

Mark with the little bundle... Tom dressed fiona this morning in her yellow shirt and matching ducky sockies. 

Sleepy Fiona... back in california for work, Mark and I were able to spend a night with Fiona, Crystal and Tom (and Ivyand Abbey of course)
