Bob and I celebrated our 6th anniversary today and I wanted to blog about our anniversary because we couldn't remember exactly how we spent our first 5 anniversaries and I knew if I blogged about it, we could look back at the previous anniversary posts.
Bob was sweet enough to take Friday AND Sunday as vacations days so that we would have the entire weekend together. We planned to scrape the popcorn off our ceilings so that we could have a knock down ceiling. We also planned to head up north and ride a new bike trail, however we didn't do either of those things due to lots of rain and laziness:). Instead we spent the morning at the City Market, then to see Ashley and Nathan's new house, a lazy afternoon and dinner at Brio (after deciding not to go to the Record Bar because the cover charge was $7.00-we are so cheap).
Bob and I talked a lot today about how we can't believe that the longer we are married the better our life together has become. I never imagined that a marriage got better over time, mostly because both of our parents are divorced and their marriages obviously didn't get better over time. We are fortunate to have found one another.
For our sweet, funny, wild, silly boys Paxton and Bennett. Our story told here.

Belton BBQ Contet
Donkey Punch BBQ had their first contest of the season! The brisket placed 4th and altogether the team placed 19 out of 33 teams. The Friday night before they start cooking the meat it has become tradition for friends and family to come and taste the BBQ, have some drinks and relax. The pictures posted below are of the Friday night. I also included pictures of some of the meat they turned in.
We are also pretty certain that Donkey Punch BBQ Team won't be on TLC's realty TV show BBQ Pit Masters. After a few calls from the producers and lots of time spent making hilarious audition tapes it seems they haven't been chosen. Maybe next year?

Opening Day at the K
Royals home opener. The weather was the best it has been in years (not rainy or cold)! Great food, drinks and friends. However, even with Greinke pitching the Royals still lost.
Bob and I:).

Yummy Bratwurst!
My sister and I!
Logue, Gilder and Bob! Fireman buddies.
The famous porta potty!!!
Twin brothers...matching clothes at least and not on purpose.

Breckenridge Colorado March 2010
Bob and I drove 10 hours to Breckenridge Colorado (actually I didn't do any of the driving, again!). We arrived late Saturday night to our little condo. It was small but it was new and had heated floors. The location of our condo was good, 5 minute walk to Peak 9 and a few minutes to most restaurants and shopping. And free underground parking. The pictures below of our condo on 506 Ridge street!
We spent our first full day in Colorado buying lift tickets, renting equipment and walking Main Street in Breckenridge (it was 50 degrees and sunny that day too!). We found that the further you were from the slopes, the cheaper the equipment and Wal-Mart in Frisco sells cheaper lift tickets!
Our first full day of skiing Bob and I took 1/2 day ski lessons in the morning, but in different groups. We spent the afternoon skiing together (sorta!). Bob mostly plowed and fell down the mountain..he was all about going FAST! The 2nd day of skiing I drug Bob to a blue run which was a bad idea. It was too tough for someone who had only skied a day and a half so we had to walk most of the blue...it was not our finest moment. We went home exhausted after that and decided to take the next day off.
That next day we went to Keystone and stopped at some scenic overlooks. We intended to ice skate in Keystone, but the Zamboni fell in 3 feet of uniced water!!! So ice skating was closed. Below are some of the pictures!! It was COLD and snowy that day!
Our 3rd day skiing was in Keystone, it was our favoritre day! The greens at Keystone are much longer and less crowded. On our 3rd day Bob decided he LOVED skiing and really got the hang of it. Below are pictures of us skiing in Keystone.
A few things we want to remember if we get to go on another ski trip
*Condo was great-but possibly stay in a lodge with that has a common area
*3 days of skiing is plenty, 4 days total in CO during the winter is plenty of time
*You cannot get from Breckenridge to Salina on 1 tank of gas (we almost found this out the hard way).
*Breckenridge is best for lodging becuase there is a lot more shopping, bars, restaurants, but Keystone has the best skiing and it's free to park at Keystone.
*The wheat beer at Breckenridge Brewery is the best

We are going skiing
Bob is off work during my spring break so we decided we wanted to get away and go skiing in CO!! Bob has never been I haven't been since I was 12 years old! We are renting a little condo in the Historic Downtown area of Breckenridge! We will be 4 minutes from the night life and 4 minutes from the slopes! Since we just decided to go we have been frantically trying to find ski clothes which isn't easy since it is almost spring. However, we were able to find good deals and my parents let us borrow gloves, goggles and my step mom let me borrow her skis that I am wearing in the picture!! Notice the pink/purple 1990's look! We can't wait!

Lieutenant Bob
After 6 tedious, long weeks of promotional processes, Bob was promoted to Lieutenant! Since his promotion he changed from C-Shift to B-Shift!!! It is definitely something to celebrate! The pictures below show him with the other new Lieutenants when they received their new black helmets symbolizing that they are Lieutenants.
