Pinterest can suck up a lot of your time, but it can also give you some great ideas on food to make, things to do, and photos to take with your kids and pets. Case in point, my nearly two-year-old daughter can't get enough books and is a little bit obsessed with everything 'Disney' right now. So, my wife stumbled on this adorable storybook photo shoot on Pinterest and we spent a few hours over the weekend trying to make some of our own storybook shots.

This past weekend we helped host The Ultimate 80s Party in Downtown Fort Collins. There was food, dancing, live music, prizes and a plethora of clothing that hasn't been around for three decades. (For good reason!) Check out some of our pictures from the event.

Humans have a lot of talent, like creating the most hilarious Oprah impression ever. But there is one thing humans can do that reigns at the top of funniest abilities; ladies and gentlemen, we are capable of producing belly laugh-worthy leaf blower faces.

This mom is a strong candidate for mother of the year.

Hurricane (now post-tropical storm Sandy) is pummeling the East Coast right now. CNN reports that at least 11 people have lost their lives due to the storm and that number is sure to grow. Look at these spectacularly heart-wrenching pictures of some of the damage done so far.

Saturday night Fort Collins witnessed the resurrection of the 3rd annual Old Town Zombie Fest. Old Town Fort Collins was clamoring with the undead and we were happy to be along for the ride. Check out some of the photos we took.

Derek and I both spent our Saturday morning running...for our lives! We participated in the 1st Dash The Dead in Windsor, Colorado. A 5K charity race where runners tried to run a course around Windsor Lake while dodging zombies, climbing obstacles, and trying to keep as many of our "life flags" as possible. It was a blast, and my legs are still a little sore. (I hadn't sprinted that fast for years!) Check out a few of our pictures from the day below.

I love Halloween, and I love dressing up in costume. But it seems to get harder and harder to come up with a great costume every year. (And then when you have a significant other and want to dress as a couple, things get even harder. And now I have to figure out how to work a baby into our costume get-ups.) So, here are a few ideas for you if you're looking for a good "couples" costume that I've done in the past.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to run in the Mud Brigade, or a similar 'mud-run'? Well, we thought we'd give you a little first-person point of view from the 2012 Mud Brigade in Loveland, Colorado.

While some stars hit the right notes when it came to red carpet outfits, others fell flat at the VMAs. In these worst dressed pictures from the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, see some far-from-flattering ensembles from some unlikely candidates like Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Rita Ora and Alicia Keys... and some not-so-surprising faux pas from rappers 2 Chainz and Nicki Minaj.

This past weekend marked the 13th Annual New Belgium Tour De Fat in Fort Collins. Thousands upon thousands of costumed (and non-costumed) bikers joined for a day of celebrating bike culture. Check out some of the photos we took!

There are a lot of things to love about Fort Collins, but I always think it's fun to see that same beauty through someone else's eye. Check out these 10 Instagram photos tagged with #fortcollins that remind me why I live here.
