Winter 2014

Not a lot has been going on this Winter other than Snow and Cold Weather.  These are not in order....but I hope you enjoy some snap shots of how we have kept busy lately.

 Tristen's 4th grade program was "Rain Rain" and featured many songs with dances of American Indians.

 A day of family sledding...This is prior to the "accident"  Brian and I had gone down first, and were getting up when the kids come down.  As Brian is turning around to watch the kids.....Tristen takes him out.  Brian is literally up in the air and comes DOWN !!!!  Sledding day over.

 Jenneth's 6 year Birthday Party..

 Girls Day !!!  The four of us went to Disney's Prince and Princess Live Show at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.  Great Time....

Obviously, this is pre Winter.  They were supposed to be raking the leaves in Nana and Grampa's backyard.  Where is Tristen you ask????  Under the leaf pile that Palmer is about to jump on.

 Jenneth has been busy as this is her first competitive season in Gymnastics.  For her first season, she did fantastic !!!

 Brian making his own Corona commercial. "Find your Beach."  That is in the middle of our cup de sac. !!!

 Family Picture in our WinterWonderland.

 Christmas Eve Mass at Holy Spirit at Geist.

 Nana and Grampa with the Grandkids after Christmas Eve Mass.

 Before the kids woke up....Tristen got a grown up bike and Jenneth a Girls Green Machine.  Now if the snow will melt so they can use them.

 This year we re instated and old tradition of Beef and Boards to kick off the Holiday Season.  It was a fantastic night.  Thanks Dad !!!

 Me and my hubby...Ahhhh  Sweet.

 This is Jenneth's team before their first meet.
