Anniversary Weekend

It's our Anniversary weekend away! We celebrated our 6th Anniversary with a weekend in the mountains spent at my company's mountain house in Silverthorne, CO. We invited the entire family along to enjoy the beautiful 5 bedroom house with us!

We enjoyed the first day/night to ourselves...shopping at the Outlet Mall, relaxing at the house playing pool, watching TV, and soaking in the hot tub. It was nice to be away, feel relaxed and enjoy the quiteness of the beautiful Rocky Mountains!

My sisters joined us with the kids and we had even more fun playing games, shopping (again) and we even ventured out for a nice walk/hike...unfortunately it started raining when we were only about 100 feet from the house so we turned back, but not before snapping a few photos!

My parents joined us for one night too...we had dinner together, baked cookies and played games. It was my hope that everyone could escape for at least one night to enjoy this wonderful gift with us!

So, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY my Love!

I Love You!

Freezing Peaches

It's that time of year...Fresh Peaches!!

Every year I try to pick wonderful peaches at the grocery store and am always disappointed when I get home to find a less that ripe peach to bite into. Well, ever since my sister told me about it, I now order my peaches from the "Peach Lady" and anticipate August/September every year!

Usually I split a box with my Mom but this time I made it a priority to purchase a whole box (25 pounds) and freeze some to enjoy the whole year through!

So, at my first attempt to freeze my own peaches I decided to document this occasion with some colorful pictures that will leave your mouth watering!

Peaches!

Necessary ingredients, storage bags
Step 1: Wash, then boil peaches for 20-45 seconds
Step 2: Immerse boiled peaches in ice water for several minutes
Step 3: Remove fleshy peach skin...it should literally just fall/peel off!
