Super Moon Lunar Eclipse

Even though we had to battle a cloud bank, we were able to watch the super moon rising and capture moments of various stages of the eclipse. D-man had wanted to watch with Nana and T-man had Nana come up and watch it from his bedroom window with him. 

So glad to have Nana and Pop here to watch it with us. 

 

Punch Bowl Green

We headed over to Coal Creek Golf Club (the one right by our house) to test out their new "punch bowl green." A punch bowl green is a large green with rolling hills with 9 different pin placements. It was a nice, free outing before dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. T-man really enjoyed it. Driving range is up next! 

Field Day

Took a couple hours off of work to help with T-man's field day at school. It was a gorgeous day for it and it was fun to spend some time with T-man. I had a great group of kids and it was fun to see T-man really excel at so many of the activities. 

Shirts vs. Skins

Another gorgeous evening and our 3rd meal of the week outside. T-man has invented "faceball" and D-man joined in tonight. Love that they can still play together.

Friends. Family. Love. Football is about way more than a game.

Go Broncos!

Caught off guard by the selfie stick :) 

Happy Grandparents' Day

20 Years

Labor Day weekend marked 20 years in Colorado for me. It is hard to believe that I have been here this long. In that time, I  graduated with an MA, married an amazing man, had two caring, loving boys, lived in 5 homes, worked for 5 companies, and have found a great community in which to raise our boys. 

I've also made a life long friend here in Colorado. As she said, Colorado has been good to us. I couldn't agree more. 

Super Sports Saturday

This is likely one of the more busy Saturdays we have had. We started with a Pirate football victory at nine. 

We then attended a Warrior soccer victory at 11.

and then headed to watch a CU victory at 12 (we arrived late and left early) - it was hot. 

D-man then had basketball tryouts and Marshall and I watched WSU pull out the win. We wrapped up the day with happy hour at the pool with several neighbors and then watching the Huskers beat S. Alabama.  We were excited for our teams to go 5-0 today. Yes - we are all exhausted! 

Date Night

One thing that is almost guaranteed in the Peavy household on Friday nights is no cooking. Tonight was no different. We were planning to go out as a family, but the boys opted for pizza at the house.  And that meant that Marshall and I had a date! 

We decided on the Mexican place in downtown Louisville so we could enjoy the gorgeous night on the patio. To our surprise, they also had live music. We also enjoyed a stroll around downtown Louisville after dinner. It's so great to be able to go out for dinner without hiring a sitter (and a bit bittersweet because they are getting so big). 

Summer Sendoff

I'm We spent the last official week of summer in the mountains with our good friends the Smileys. Great food, wine, and company (horrible football). 

Fishing! 

Private pool

Completely slumming it

We like them even though they cheer for Ohio State 

Beaver Creek Oktoberfest

A gorgeous day in Beaver Creek celebrating Oktoberfest with good friends. 

Go Big Red

Oktoberfest! 

Friday Night Lights

Football season is definitely here. D-man and I kicked off Labor Day weekend with happy hour. He then headed to the Monarch High football game with Marshall and the Pirate team. A good way to kick off the long weekend. 

Draft Day

Yes this really happened. 16 11-year old boys at our house for a fantasy football draft. Too much pizza. Too much soda. Too much craziness. D-man would have liked the kids to be a bit more serious about it. But he understood the and had fun (and he got a Bronco on his team).  And even though we only got through 8 rounds, I would say it was a success! 

I didn't get any good pics, but these are pretty accurate depictions of the night.
