He Crawled!

I will get a video up asap.

Ktrak

This is pretty cool! It was built for downhill bikes as you can tell from the pic, but has recently been upgraded to include x-country bikes as well. I wouldn't mind trying it out, but probably not going to pay $550 for one anytime soon... :-) And they don't have a 29'er version out yet... :-(

Reminiscing

Rusty always loved to lay in the Windowsill in our old house! We always worried about him falling out, but he loved to sleep there in the summer time.
We still have this chair, and it's still the same size....Rusty is not....


Rusty is sooo much smaller than Wrigley!
Puppy Rusty choosing to be a Cardinals fan at such a young age...
This one was more about how young, my youngest brother looks...He's grown a ton!
Wrigley getting his puppy pictures...
He was so tiny!
Wrigley always did prefer mommy! He's definitely a mommas boy!

Full Moon

Full Moon = Snowshoeing tonight.... I'll post some pics when I get them. Should be cold and fun!

Snow!

It finally snowed up here in the mountains.... although it was only about an inch and had melted shortly afternoon.... It's crazy that it's the middle of January and we still don't have any snow! It has been in the 40's every day, and has been great for bike riding and running, not so great for snow activities. The craziest thing is that just 25 minutes east in Vail, it has snowed 28" in the past 48 hours... The snow is so spotty out here... 29" in Breck two days ago... 26" in one 24 hour period. It has been dumping on the resorts, and we can see it all around us, yet here in Eagle and Gypsum, 40 degrees and no snow. Weird Winter Weather. I'm sure we'll get it eventually.

Brothers

Last week, I got the chance to hang out with my youngest brother Michael for an entire week. I can't tell you the last time we got to spend that much time together. I wasn't around much while he was growing up, college, work, Colorado, you know, life basically. But now he is in college at the U of I, and has a few more breaks, so he was able to come out with Anne Marie and Mom for a week of just chillin... (and sleeping) It was awesome to get to spend some time with him! We went snowshoeing, for a few runs, and shared some good meals. The pic below is of him CONCENTRATING while trying to beat me in shuffleboard... which he succeeded in doing once of 3 times.
In a span of 2 weeks, Natalie and I both got to hang out with our youngest brothers. Hers is a bit younger than mine, still being in high school. It was a great opportunity for both of us! We are both blessed to have such great families and siblings!

It Has Begun....
