New Year's Day is always a good day in our family, because it means sledding! We all get up early and head to the mountains to get "our" spot, which is typically vacant until noon or so when everyone else starts rolling in. There definitely wasn't as much snow as we are used to seeing, but we made it work and everyone had a great time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turkey Day 2k18

This Thanksgiving was definitely a break from the norm. Part of our family was off for a month in Mexico, so the orphaned children had to scavenge the streets for scraps of food.

 

Dramatic enough? LOL!

 

Hi mom and dad!

 

All kidding aside, we really did have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We weren't totally unsupervised, as Veronica's dad (and his lady friend) joined us for the holiday. We had a crazy amount of food (and beer/mimosas), football, desserts, and other shenanigans. It was a great day!

My favorite little family met up with me for some fall pictures. Poor Mase just doesn't understand the big smile for pictures. We nailed one and the rest were so awkward for him.......but funny!!

I've Missed You, Cabin!

Last week, we firmly planted ourselves in the mountains, at the cabin, and at the river. It was a great 5 days and I'm sure wishing I was back up there, where the only concern was "gee, should we play more ping pong tonight, or drinking games?"

 

It's rough being an adult.

 

We had to venture down to town twice - once for Matt for jury duty, and once for Carter's fall baseball tryouts - and then quickly scrambled back up to our chairs at the river.

 

But.....life calls, there are jobs to do, school starting, and fall sports to get my son to. The mom duties never cease. SOME of us had to come back down off the mountain. ;)

 

It was a fantastic trip up to the mountains - we had a blast every day. Here are some random shots.
