So…most of you know by now that the major project @ the Oldweiler house this summer was the ‘re-doing’ of the backyard. While we’ve been happy with the layout, we have always wanted to make some modifications and additions to our backyard. To that end, we set out to change the shape of the grass line, as well as add some trees and additional...

For those of you who know me, you know that I absolutely LOVE Halloween!! It’s easily my second favorite holiday behind Christmas. So, obviously I was extremely excited to start the annual tradition of turning our house into a Haunted House! Perhaps it’s that my favorite color is orange…or maybe it’s that I just love the twisted little...

So, somehow we made it an entire summer without doing a post dedicated to our amazing garden. Every year we plant our garden on Mother’s Day weekend, and spend the rest of the season maintaining and enjoying everything it has to offer. Our summer was mixed up this year due to a number of circumstances, yet our garden ended up being one of our best yet. We...

Well…for those of you who don’t know, Jen and I bought a piano as our Christmas gift to the family. Jen’s mom actually traded in her old one and helped us with the cost of obtaining a newer one. Jen and I both played when we were younger and we really wanted to have one in the house for the kids as they grow up. The piano itself is gorgeous. ...

It’s hard to believe another Holiday season has come and gone…and as we dig out of the chaos that was the last month…we find that in addition to the 3 tons of garbage, we are left with many new memories that will last a lifetime. Here are some highlights (and one lowlight )...

Well, winter has definitely arrived in Colorado…and over the past week, we have been lucky enough to get over a foot of snow!! We decided to take advantage of the snow this weekend and take the kids sledding. There is a great place to go that is only a minute or two from our house. What makes it even better is that it has ‘easy’ runs, as well as some...

So, Jen and I have a lot of ‘busy’ weekends throughout the year…but historically, this one has to rank up there with the busiest. This year was no different, as we managed to cram as much as humanly possible into our 5-day weekend. Here are some pictures and ‘highlights’ from our Thanksgiving weekend… On Wednesday we took...

Well…we just wanted to say a quick ‘hello’ before the craziness of the Holiday season really starts to set in. Like most of you, we find ourselves busy getting the house ready…baking pies…making shopping lists…wrapping presents…etc, etc, etc. Aside from the fact our house hasn’t been 100% healthy since April, we are doing...

WOW! What a fun (and amazingly busy!) weekend! Looking back, it seems we crammed an unbelievable amount of work and play into just a little over 3 days, but it sure was a blast. All-in-all, the weekend can be summed up as 3 BBQ-Nights, 1 freshly sanded/stained deck, 2 visits to Grandparents, 1 game of Scene It, more Coors Lights than...

So we realized recently that we hadn’t posted updated pictures of our basement since the bar and craft room had been completed…so here goes! Jen’s craft area is now complete and it is completely decked out with all the necessities to sew, scrapbook, bead, quilt, etc. Now, I just need to find a way to slow Jen down long...

The baby room is finally complete! Now, the only thing missing is the baby. We are very pleased with how the room turned out and we find ourselves spending a lot of time in there just tidying up or arranging things…getting everything ‘just right’. When we started this room, we knew we weren’t going to find out what...

Well, our basement is ALMOST done! They are working on the cabinets and countertops for Jen’s craft room this week so hopefully it will be 100% done by the end of the month. Here are a few pics I snapped this weekend (and yes, I just noticed they are blurry!!) I will take some more and include some hi-res ones so you can see things a little...

We are a family of five, living happily in Colorado. And since we find ourselves running out of hours in the day, we built this little site to keep friends and family up to speed on what's going on in our lives.
