Spring Break 2016

We had so much fun skiing in Colorado last year, we decided to do it again.  We stopped halfway in Amarillo, TX and enjoyed their little zoo.  We spent 4 days skiing at Copper Mountain.  Cadynce, Donnie, and Colbie did ski school and Damon played in the child care.  Don and I had 2 1/2 days of skiing around the mountain by ourselves, and the last couple days to ski with Cadynce, Donnie, and Colbie...it was a blast.  We went tubing one night, which is always fun, and Colbie was tall enough to go this year.  The girl wouldn't stop talking!  She was pretty proud of herself going down the tubing hill "all by herself."

Sweet Valentine

Cadynce loves getting a rose.  She won't let Don forget.

Don took his two little Valentine's to dinner on Saturday.  A few pics before they left...Colbie has been a little under the weather, and didn't want to go (obviously).  We made her go and she had a great time.

Colbie...hilarious!

Basketball Time!!!!

It's our first time trying basketball for Cadynce and Donnie.  They have played two games now, and they are both loving it.  Donnie is playing in the 8&under league and Cadynce is playing 10&under.  Donnie made a basket in the first game and Cadynce made one in her second game.  Don bought a hoop for our driveway while Cadynce and I were in Colorado a couple weeks ago.  We love being able to go out and play anytime.  View Album.

Indiana Christmas 2015

Another year of family and fun.  Thanks again to our families for hosting us and feeding us.  View Album for lots of pictures.

Christmas SA

We continue the tradition of giving the kids their Christmas gifts from us before we drive to Indiana.  This year we focused on the gift of experience.  We bought our kids a tent!!!  They freaked out and couldn't wait to set it up in the back yard and camp out!  We invited friends over for a fire and roasted marshmallows.   Pictures.

Thanks Mom!

Night before race.

Visiting Santa

He loves to dress up.

My mom flew out to watch the kids so we could focus on our race.  A huge thanks for the quick trip.  It made our weekend so much easier.

Kids Race

The day before the marathon they had a kids race.  Donnie ran a half mile and Cadynce ran a mile.  They both loved it.  View Album for more pictures.

Half Marathon

I ran my first half marathon on Sunday.  The thought of running it by myself sounded so boring, so I asked Don to run it with me.  I did a 10 week training program.  We ended up finishing 3 minutes faster than our goal time.  View Album for more pics.

Cousin Surprise

Several months ago Carrie decided to surprise her girls with a trip to visit us for their fall break.  We kept it a surprise for our kids as well.  We didn't get to spend all day in the pool, enjoying the sunshine, but we had fun!  We did heat up the hot tub in between down pours.  Such a fun weekend with cousins.  View Album for more pictures.

Labor Day Weekend

Grandpa and Mimi flew out to visit for the weekend, and to check out our new home.  We all really enjoyed the pool!  View Album for more pics.
