Great Gramps Birthday Party!!





Great Gramps loves Broncos, so all the great grandkids dressed in broncos T's.  My crazy cousins and aunt had a couple of wigs for gramps to try on ....I was dying!!

Easter 09!!





We never spend Easter with family. So what a blessing to have family in town for Easter this year. Since everyone was out for my dad's 70th bday, we went to Loveland CO for Easter weekend and celebrated great gramps 90th bday. My mom's whole family joined us. So W&Y had tons of fun with their cousins and second cousins. On Easter morning grammy, being the grammy she is, with her sister made sure all the kids had Easter baskets waiting for them at their hotel doors. We all went to my grandparents church. It was a cold and dreary day, but still an Easter to remember.

TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN!!


My dad, brother and I got to spend some time skiing together. It was one of the things my dad wanted for his bday. What a great time. I had not been skiing for a few years, so I was a little anxious to get out there especially with them. So before I met up with them I went and rented a helmet. Don't laugh.....all the cool kids are doing it:) I look like a dork, but I felt secure especially when we ended on top of the mountain!!(then I looked down). As you can see, it was a perfect beautiful day and I even made it down alive.

Skiing with Family










My dad turned 70 this year, so we celebrated by meeting up with my family in Breckenridge CO, for a ski vacation.  My dad loves to ski so seeing all his grandkids on skis put a twinkle in his eye.   I wasn't planning on Y joining in at first but he wouldn't have it any other way.  He just got so excited when we went to the rental shop to rent equipment.  Of course he  wanted his own stuff and kept saying "mom me ski too".  So we couldn't resist.  There was the perfect hill to teach them, with a moving carpet, that they just loved.   The snow was perfect and so was the weather.  Such a great time--the trip was perfect.
