Camping at Eleven Mile Reservoir

Fishing fun in the Colorado sun !





A little campground excitement... a camper had to be airlifted to the nearest hospital after a boating accident. Remember always: safety first !

Nothing is as strong as the love between a boy and his dog.

~~ Barb's 'Girls Trip' to Vegas ~~

A wonderful break. I can't wait till the next trip...Ojo Caliente perhaps or even a Cabo cruise. Stacey and I stayed at 'The Mandalay Bay Resort.' Beautiful! I look forward to going back.




The view from our room of the giant pool area!





We golfed at a great little 9-hole Calaway course close the airport... VERY CLOSE.

We went to the Shark Exhibit at our hotel. Lots of interesting sea life.



Walking to Ceasars Palace down the strip on our way to see a Food Network Cooking Challenge. The secret food ingredient was lobster. What a delightful event!



In Vegas we saw two shows: 'Mamma Mia' and 'Le Reve.' Both thrilling and well worth seeing. The stunts the actors performed were beyond mind-boggling. The food in Vegas was awesome, the hotels were amazing and the golf was fantastic. A much needed trip.

Vision check... besides the tree, what else do you see?

Ready for the turkey hunt !

Spring Break 2008 - ain't it great !

PARTY TIME ! Robbie had one of his buddy's stay over Wednesday night, Mason. Mom took Robbie and Mason, to Casa Bonita for dinner. Stacey and Randy were able to join us as well, Mom's friend from middle school/high school and her husband. :-) On Thursday we went to Putting Edge for some glow-in-the-dark golf. Stacey joined us again. It was fun. We were being silly. The boys just rolled their eyes at us. After lunch at California Pizza kitchen, we went home for some more chess and then PS2 ATV tag. All in all, a pretty fun day. Even Harley had a friend sleep over, Champ. Look how big he is now! Almost 6 months old.

On Saturday, Robbie, wearing shorts and a short sleeved shirt, and I went to hit a bucket of golf balls at the local golf course. Then we went on a bike ride. This morning, we woke to snow. Love Colorado weather!

Easter 2008

LIFE ANEW - THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL !

We celebrated Easter with family and friends...Gussie, Jasmine, Daphne, Tom, Drew, Duncan and Amanda.

As always, lots of food, fun, friendship and festivities! Robbie put on a special Easter egg hunt for his cousins, Jasmine and Daphne, and Drew's kids, Duncan and Amanda. It was tough! Fun to watch, that's for sure.



OUR HOME - he who comes in the name of the Lord is welcome here.

REJOICE!

2007-2008 Wheat Ridge Threshers Basketball

Robbie's team finished 8-3, making it to the semi-finals. They started off slow but came together quickly and ended their season fantastically. On his team were 5 of his closest friends.

Cub Scout Snow Mountain YMCA Ranch Trip

The Cub Scouts went to on a winter weekend trip to Snow Mountain YMCA Ranch in February. Here is Robbie learning to cross-country ski. Our friend Susan Buth took her son, Jeremy, and Robbie out for a stroll. Mike stayed at the lodge and I was at home, sick unfortunately. However, both kids are naturals at the sport and had an awesome time and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend itself. We are so blessed to be a part of scouting. It offers so many great opportunities.

Valentine's Day School Party 2008
