Christmas Pictures from my family get together

My dad got the prettiest bowling shoes I've ever seen.

Aaron flying off a jump at Monarch.

Dad and Ethan passive aggressively protesting having their picture taken.

Brad and Cindy at R,H,&B.

Cindy and Tammy at Red, Hot, & Blue. This is a BBQ restaurant we went to for our family's Christmas activity.

Ethan, Aaron, and Tammy playing legos. My mom had them in storage and Ethan wanted them to take home to play with his friends. Hmmm...

My parents new house.

On a walk with the family and dogs. This trail is by my parents house and follows an old rail line.

Tammy and Ethan went through a lot of junk that they had in storage at my parents. My mom had also decided to give her wedding dress to the thrift store. She was very thin when she got married and no one in the family could fit her dress. We were taking one last look at it before it got donated.

We played Bible Pictionary one night. Playing with my dad was hilarious.

Monarch ski area. Aaron, my brother, and my dad went skiing on Christmas eve. The high for the day was 11 plus wind chill. They were cold.

Aaron at Monarch. I can't believe his face isn't frozen off.

Sniff, sad about your mom's dress. Better not let Grandma hear about that! Amanda barely fit in her mom's dress. Maybe you heard about how she was busting at the seams at the wedding...? Hmm, I wonder where my old leggos are?

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery. We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before. This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...

More Miss Maddy pics

Here are some more pictures of Maddy. I know everyone is eager for pictures. We got to put her first little outfit on last night. She got out of the incubator bed and into a regular bassinet so she can now wear clothes and have her own blankies and stuff. It is great.
