I wonder what the next 5 years will hold?

Love you Rose!  Here's to you and 5 years of wedded bliss

Happy Anniversary!

I love you Matt! Thanks for the best 5 years of my life thus far. Can't wait for many more....

Yee ha!

Hi goat, I'm Trout.  Trout gets his first taste of the Steamboat Rodeo, checking out the goats at the ropin' practice pen

Aunt Jen's in town! And Jen loves her some cowboy so off down the street and over the river we went for some good ol'.  Coors, cows and clowns!

Not quite ready for mutton-busting Trout did take careful notes during the bigger kids free for all on the poor sacrificial calf they tie a prize ribbon on.  100 kids vs one calf, it was reminiscent of the battle scenes in Braveheart, but with more violence.

Some folks got some goodies too, Trout got his own big boy bed (and Thomas the Train sheets) and promptly announced he didn't need to sleep in diapers anymore.  Ok then.  Rose got some kickin' new Vans sneakers from Jen and a speedy longboard to match for her birthday.  Someone's going to work in style tomorrow! Happy Birthday honey!

Happy 4th of July!!

Los Alfords went to Crested Butte for the holiday weekend along with a group of friends from across the country.  Then we rode and rode, and swam and watched the Tour, and the World Cup and also drank some margaritas...good times! Rose managed to gash open her knee real good, but kept riding, Trout learned to hold his breathe under water and Matt got out on the BIG ride, 30 miles and 3700' of climbing to Paradise Divide, one of the most scenic spots on Earth.  Happy 4th!
