Tanner and Jacquee Schieck

Announcing, the beautiful, the talented, the unemployed (just kidding), Mr. and Mrs. Schieck!!! I had the good fortune of recently attending a wedding of a good friend. And might i just say, Congrats you guys!

Jacquee's Wedding!

Recently, i found myself back home again to attend the wedding of one of my closest high school friends, Jacquee. I had not met her beloved, Tanner, before the wedding as we had lost close contact for a bit, but it was so good to meet him. It was really just a great event with the most love i have ever seen at a wedding. i was blessed to be able to be a part of it!
And the girls were great! I had not seen many of these lovely ladies since high school and made a few new friends in the course of the weekend. The groomsmen were equally as charming and just aided in the warm, loving environment that the weekend provided. Here are the beautiful ladies before the ceremony.
And for another friend i had not seen forever, Jenna was Jacquee's personal attendant! Jacquee looked gorgeous in her dress and the whole ceremony was beautifully set up. Tanner, of course, cried when he saw his lovely bride, but so did i!
I truly had such a wonderful time and just thank so much the Kolbecks and Schiecks for creating such a great couple for the world to enjoy! (this is not tanner, but the way, it is Jack Kolbeck! Realized the wording was a bit off!)

My birthday!!

My Birthday 2007

Today i turned a quarter century...I had a pretty good day hanging out with my favorite little man. We colored with chalk, baked cupcakes, swept the sidewalk...well, i guess the last one was mostly him. Anyway, thanks again for all the love and birthday joy, guys! Oh, in case you did not pick up on this from before, these are all web albums, so you need to click on the picture to load the rest of the shots.

Jeremy's a Catholic!!!

Jeremy's RCIA

Jeremy went through the RCIA program this year and became Catholic. There service was beautiful, although Jeremiah stayed awake THE WHOLE TIME!! He was good though, and even helped bless daddy at the end.

Easter 2007!!!

Easter 2007

So, i have become lazy with my blogging and since i have not posted FOREVER, i am posting some fun stuff. However, staying with the theme, i am only compiling web albums in this batch. Lots of pictures...I visited my sweet little nephew in Albuquerque for the Easter break. We were going to go to the zoo on Friday, but EVERYONE was at the zoo, so we went to the fish pond instead.

Saturday Jeremiah's playgroup came over for an Easter egg hunt and then we went shopping. That night we went to Jeremy's RCIA Easter Vigil...those pictures are later. Easter day we started the day with a big breakfast and a hike. Then off to the Isotopes baseball game, so fun. They had an easter egg hunt at the game for Titi as well!! We ended the day with a movie. We had a really fun and relaxing couple of days.

Ouray Ice Fest, 2007!

I have been so busy lately, my world has been upside down! But i did post some new shots on our company blog of the Ouray Ice Fest Brian and i just attended. Check them out, www.aaotalesfromtheroad.blogspot.com. I tried ice climbing for the first time, holy hannah it is fun! i loved it, i am addicted now. Anyway, sorry not to write more about the adventure, i will try to spend some time soon recounting tales. But until then, hope you all are well!

Christmas 2006

I am somewhat cheating in doing this, but i decided to just upload a bunch of pictures from Christmas to a web gallery so that people could browse that way. Otherwise it would have been a million little posts. Overall, we had a wonderful Christmas together. at my father's wishes, we all came home and all the kids got to meet. What an exciting thing to have cousins!
There was presents and food, christmas trees and family, cookies and wrestling. Though the Christmas season can sometimes be stressful (amazing storm through Denver, TWICE!), this one will be remembered as hectic and loving.

ALASKA THANKSGIVING

as a big suprise, brian and i went up to suprise ben and lisa for thanksgiving! it was great, they had no idea. We got in super late the first night, and the next day we had a great, relaxing day. Then that night we went to the Alaska rock gym and then to Beerfest at the Bear's tooth. super funny movie. i highly recommend it.


 

Thanksgiving 2006

Such an amazing Thanksgiving in Alaska. We had a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable day with great friends. We started the day with a great breakfast at Andy and Lisa's house. Quiche, fruit and dip, cassarole...so yummy!

Turkey day at Nash Circle

Holy crap, we made a lot of food. Ben and lisa b. made his mom's pumpkin pie, i just wore the crust. we all made so much food, we could have fed 10! IT was great though, so much fun time together. and the turkey? so amazing. Ben made it on the grill...yum!

the table, in all its glory

i think all these pictures are funny. Apparently, i am SUPER excited about this...
...and we're eating...
still eating...(kind of reminds you of having to watch people's slideshows of their vacations, eh?)
so, i was wearing a bell sleeved sweater and we were joking about me saving leftovers in the sleeve, so that is what this picture is. The funniest quote about this was from Andy, who was sitting just to the right of me. He looked and me and grabbed his beer quickly and said "Keep your giant sleeve away from my beer". pretty good. great meal. 

recreation in the great white north...

so, many of you know that bowling is not my strong suit. but, when most of the group is ill and outdoor activities are out...next best thing is beer and bowling.
lisa set the camera on "sport mode" and took a ton of shots. this was one of many of ben and i moving.
go lisa!
right before dancing...so fun! 

it started with a frozen face...

we decided to make the trek to Hatcher's Pass, a favorite backcountry playground of ours. As per tradition, i went out the sunroof of the commander again, to take photos on the way to Wasilla. A car driving at 70 miles per hour with a windchill of -10 makes for some pretty frozen tears.


i think i look like an old man in this one. anyone else? 

gettin' ready
