    Jess and I had the opportunity to go up to History Rock, which is located in the Hyalite canyon, just south of Bozeman. We have been looking forward to utilize our snow shoes and we were hoping that the snow levels were good in the canyon. Hyalite canyon, and reservoir, provides the residents of the…

    Over the past several years, my mom, sister and I have gotten together to make Christmas cookies. It has been a blast. Usually, we just make my grandma’s awesome White Cookies and then maybe one or two other cookies that we are familiar with making. Last year, we spent hours decorating the white cookies with…

    Along with the annual Bozeman Christmas Stroll, another tradition that Jess and I have been faithful to is the procuring of our seasonal, indoor evergreen. We have decided that whenever possible, it is best to go to the natural habitat of such a specimen to ensure the full authenticity of the act. As we have…

    Jess and I have made it a tradition to go to the annual Christmas Stroll in downtown Bozeman. If you’ve never been to Bozeman, it has a beautiful, historic downtown that the city closes a section off for various events throughout the year, this happens to be our favorite event. There is something to be…

    Last week marked the annual celebration of Thanksgiving. As we had done the previous year, we decided to run the Huffing for Stuffing 10k to benefit the Gallatin Valley Food Bank. Not only does this race support a great cause, but it also get us off our lazy rears to do something good for a…

    Brent and I hosted Thanksgiving again this year, but we were in charge of the meal. I woke up bright and early at 6 to prepare our post Huffing for Stuffing Race caramel rolls. While the dough was rising, I prepared my first turkey. I was kind of nervous because people tend to make a…

    The other afternoon, we had a wet and heavy snow fall, one in which put out Jess’s hopes for a run, but was beautiful none the less. I decided to pull out the camera and shoot these shots from my work window. I hope you enjoy!

    This past weekend, Jess and I took a trip to see our good friend Scott. If you don’t remember, he’s the one that came with us during our trip to Portland last month. He lives on a farm outside of Shelby, MT. It was great to get away for a weekend and relax. We left…

    Finally, I can wrap up this crazy three-part series about our trip to Oregon, the Portland Marathon and now finally the remainder of the trip. I won’t bore you with another 1500 word essay. Instead, I will present to you the rest of the trip, in pictures. Ask questions if you have ’em in the…

    I’ve been sitting on some photos lately and decided I should share some of the wonderful fall weather that we’ve been having. It is so unusual to have fall colors last so long. As I’ve summed up Montana weather before, there’s four seasons: winter, still winter, summer and almost winter. This year, we’ve barely touched…
