More Colorado Pictures

Oh my gosh, could these pictures be any smaller? I took them from my facebook page and wow, you can barely see them,huh?



Anyway, got to go. The weather is getting cruddy again. Duck and cover everyone!

Some Photos

I'm still trying to transfer all the pictures but here are some cute ones.

Zack snowboarding.






Ansley snowboarding. She was the only one who really got it. She did great and wants a board for Christmas.

We're Back!

...And I'm being accosted by huge piles of laundry. Good grief, where does it all come from? I swear Joan had it all caught up on Wednesday and somewhere between leaving on Thursday and arriving back home late last night, the laundry in the baskets procreated creating a huge mound of laundry to get done before I start on the clothes that came back from Colorado. I'll be glad when Joan gets back here tomorrow - although she only has two days left before she leaves me after 10 years!!!!! Wah... My life and house will never be the same, although we do wish her well :)

Everyone had a great time. Gary and the kids skied, tubed and learned to snowboard. Ansley was the only one that mastered the snowboarding, although Zack begs to differ! She loved it and her body is built for controlling that board. Gary left the kids with me Sunday night and tried to snowboard down a BIG mountain only to be hurt and frustrated. He eventually kicked off the snowboard and walked down the hill. You know he's great at most things and can't stand to suck at something else so he wasn't too happy. Needless to say, you'll never see his feet strapped into a snowboard again!

I never left the lodge - ONCE. I had all kinds of wonderful spa treatments and a lot of alone time, which you know I love, and rarely get, so I was content.

It was great to get back last night. Since October, I've been on a plane 12 times and I'm ready to not go anywhere for a while. I have six weeks before I have to schlep out the suitcase and I'm beyond thrilled.

I'll try and post the pictures from the trip soon. They are all on my iphone so I have to load them onto my desktop since I still can't figure out how to go straight from the phone onto the blog.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day and long weekend. =]

Off To Colorado

So, here I am getting dressed in this beautiful 65 degree weather, to go to the freezing weather of Colorado - where the temperature high each day is going to be a balmy 20. So.....while Gary and the kids are doing this....
I'll be doing this......We leave tonight to fly into Denver. We spend the night in Denver and then drive to Keystone. We'll be back Monday. The kids and Gary should have their fill of the snow and I should be nice and relaxed, and well read!
Happy Valentine's Day as well!!
Ciao for now!!
*edit* dear god, i just checked the weather and the high tomorrow and Saturday is 18!! help me.
