Christmas in Colorado

Being in Colorado for Christmas, and being with my kids and the grandkiddos was the best! I would have to say the best Christmas in years. We had a great time, dinner was great, yummy hot chocolate, the movie "Princess and the Frog", playing games, looking at deer in the neighborhood, pizza, snow, and shopping. I enjoyed my 6 days and cannot wait to go again in February.

















Visit with Cassandra and little Ellie

My neice Cassandra from Texas, was in town so we got together. Here is her little daughter Ellie, she has the cutest little smile, and the most gorgeous curly hair. Thanks for the visit Cassie, so nice to reconnect and get to visit with you!


Cassie said she hates her pictures taken, hum I think I caught a pretty good one? Don't you think?

Happy Birthday to my one and only little brother

Wow, cannot believe you are another year older, and wiser too. Thanks for the help and support thru the years, I do have the best "Baby Brother" in the whole world! I love you Keith!














I am a homeowner!

So excited to be a homeowner..... and not a renter! I love my new casa! More pictures coming!



Halloween

Tristan loves horses..... what would be more fitting than Tristan being a cowboy? He was so stinkin cute! Here he is with his bestest buddies, Bray and Addy


Good-Bye to Carol

My son in laws Mom, Carol Ann Gunter passed away on October 21st. She was a great lady. She left behind 8 children, and lots of grandkids. It was always great to have her in our home for dinner on occasion.


All of the 8 Gunter kids, I know Carol was so happy! It has been years since they were all together.

More cousin time in Michigan

It is always great to be with my Aunts, Uncle and cousins!

My Aunt Lois, and Aunt Marge, these are my Dad's sisters.

What the heck happened to September?

Yeppers, it is gone gone gone. Since Cyndi and I both turned the big 50 this year, we decided years ago we would go to New York. So I flew to Michigan, then we went to NYC, of course it was awesome again.... We had so much fun together as always.


I actually learned to like the subway...notice I didn't say "LOVE"?

The Manhattan TempleMarkets in China town


View from Top of the Rock... 68 stories high, awesome I loved seeing Central Park and the empire state building.


Saw Mamma Mia, and Phantom on Broadway..... they were both awesome, of course!

50 is nifty

So I guess since I turned 50, I just better put on a happy face and deal with it, cause it isn't going to go away, huh? So my brother called to tell me happy birthday and told me I was a antique.. Thanks Keith, that made me feel so much better. A antique? So Logan told me he was taking me to dinner...I kinda thought to myself, really he has no money but whatever.... Maybe taco bell? So I came home from work, showered... and that is about it. He told me Yes, I looked fine. If I would have known what I was in for... maybe a little hair do, and some make up? Oh well. It was a little suprise party at Golden Corral. YES, I was suprised. THANKS for a great "Nifty Fifty" birthday party. I am loved!

My oldest Jayson and youngest Logan
