Double date night was at risk when a big snow storm hit on Friday night at rush hour. Did it stop us? No way! We spent more than an hour trying to get to the Soiled Dove Underground and are so glad we did.
We saw "The Three Amigos"--Roger Clyne, Jim Dalton, and Johnny Hickman play their live show and it was a hoot! They took turns praising each other, playing each others tunes, and taking shots from the audience. By the end, Hickman could hardly stand! They had fun, we had fun, and I'm glad we didn't let the storm stop us from enjoying a night out with the Krumpys!

"Hello out there, we're on the air, it's 'Hockey Night' tonight. Tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice."-Stompin' Tom Conners This week's date night was Blake's choice and he picked hockey! The Avs had been advertising family four packs, so we bought one that gave us GREAT seats on the bottom level. The Avs didn't play very well, but we had a great time hanging out as a family! Dad was in hockey heaven and I loved singing and dancing with the kids! Go Avs!
“THERE’S A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW AWAITING YOU IF YOU JUST LOOK UP.” – JACK Mary Poppins was one of my FAVORITE childhood films. I have wonderful memories of watching it with my sister and mom and singing along to all of the legendary songs. As a grown up, my favorite souvenir from our MANY trips to Disney parks is my "Practically Perfect In Every Way" Pillow that graces my couch. Thus, I could not WAIT for the new movie to come out.
Today Luke treated me to the new movie and I was in love from the first song as Jack (Played by Lin Manuel Miranda) started turning off the street lights in London. The Banks children are all grown up and facing challenging times thanks to the great slump. The movie follows their journey through this time as Mary Poppins reappears to take care of them (and the next generation) again. Emily Blunt was perfectly cheeky and Lin Manuel Miranda played a perfect partner. The best moment of the movie was when 93 year old Dick Van Dyke reprises his role of the old man banker and tap danced on the desk! I thought that the producers did an AMAZING job on this film. It was modern yet paid great homage to the original. I cannot wait for it to come out on video so I can sing with these new songs too! "God gave us the gift of life--it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well." -Voltaire A perfect birthday--dinner out for beer and burgers with my boys. They started my day off with cards and new movies and then let me pick where I wanted to go to dinner. We talked, we laughed, and I realized that 40 is amazing. I have grown into a life I love and I cannot wait to see what the next decade brings.
"Dinner is better when we eat together." -Unknown
I forgot to take a picture today, but we all went as a family to Perry's for lunch. Nothing fancy, but we shared time and a meal to stop the world and take a breath! We tried a new pizza this week--Jaxon was not a fan! We shared our roses and thorns this week. We laughed and smiled. The perfect way to kick off a week! "Dude, I've been Stricken by Chicken." -Guy Fieri Tonight I went on an adventure that knocked another item off my life list and started a second. We went to have date night dinner at "The Post" in Lafayette, Colorado which was featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Drive (Link). Famous for their fried Chicken and craft brews "The Post" has gotten a lot of attention in our community and has been on my list for a while. Tonight we decided to try it out! Our first course was Fried Cheese Curds. Served with pepper jelly, the gooey deliciousness had pickled caulifower and peppers mixed in for a suprise in your mouth. Main course featured the fried chicken which was perfectly crispy as well as Pablano Mac and Cheese which may have been my favorite Mac and Cheese EVER! We finished up dinner with apple cobbler and beer--the perfect combination to start of a new year! Luke and I decided that date night was so fun that we decided we are going to try to go on 52 dates this year! Some will be "us" dates and others will be "family" dates. I can't wait to see where these adventures lead!
