Christmas 2007!

Christmas present opening lasted a whooping 10 minutes this year! Jett had fun playing with his new Teddy and the older boys are thrilled that they will be going to Disneyland in Feb. 2008.

Another Christmas successfully done. Merry Christmas to all of you and cheers to much health and happiness in the coming year. Love, Karen, Andy, Dylan, Travis & Jett.

Salida - 12/15-16 '07

Hi Everyone! Kiki and I made the trip down to Salida for the weekend...great times were had! We skied Crested Butte on Saturday and Monarch Sunday...Monarch kicked some major butt! Skied our faces off - deep snow, tons of sunshine and family - can't ask for much more than that.

Susan and the Bros

Here is a link to a site where Susan's picture shows up being an official ski exchanger Bro. The skiers are making trades all around the country (of the skis that is). Go Here and scroll all the way down the page.

Jett's first ski day....Keystone, Dec. 9, 2007.

We rode the Gondola, hung out in the lodge, and watched all the skiers. Andy and I took turns skiing and thought how cool it will be someday when our little Jett will be trailing behind us in the powder!

Our December 4th Crested Butte Trip

These shots were all taken with Rick's camera so the quality is not the greatest. Anyhow we thought it would be fun to share them with you, so here they are.

Day One - Finally!

Rick and I skiied at Crested Butte on 12/4 -- first day on skiis this season. The snow was really good for early season at the Butte. Some man-made and some real snow. We went with another ski instructor and met several more there. We are all ready to get going on the snow and hope that this latest forecasted weather brings in on for us! Check out the fun photos in Rick's post just after this one -- as you can see -- we are the cutest couple on the mountain and the weather was perfect! Hope we can all make some runs together and soon. Maybe you should all take the new poll. Multiple answers are allowed.

Glad to see you all here

Hi all!
It's really been fun seeing all of you participating in this Family Place. The photos are great and so are the comments. Can't wait to see more -- especially of all of us in the snow (when it decides to get here). We'll be posting more photos and slideshows as we take them. See you soon! Love, Mom

COLORADO NOVEMBER
we had a great day hiking on Kenosha Pass. My boys are the best! They hiked with me for 7 miles, laughing and running on some of the best single-track in Colorado.

Slideshow of Susan

Here are some pictures of Susan that I have stored on my personal computer. Thought you all might like to see some of them.

Adding Comments

I wanted to make a commnet on Joshua's post just below, but didn't see the "comment" link. So I went into the settings and hopefully the comment link will show up now. This message is to test that. Look for the comment link at the bottom of this post.

Embedded Slideshow From Picassa

This is inserted as an experiment with Picassa. Picassa is an application downloaded from Google accounts. I thought the application might be way too much, but now that I've been playing with it, it seems like it might be well suited to insert slideshow and keep track of images on your computer.

These shots come from Karen and Andy's camera. We were able to easily make copies onto my computer. That is cool cuz imagine everyone giving everyone else copies of their pictures right on the spot.

So Let the Games Begin

Wow! I had no idea what this could turn into. Put a pair of sunglasses on and who knows what could happen.

Married with children

well, well, welllll.....what do we have here? someone passed out with their hands in their pants....looks like an al bundy wannabe. but, isn't she so damn cute?

We're here!

So,I hope you guys found our family website and like what you see. It got better as we drank more wine and beer. Please add your photos, videos and comments. Just remember, all the world can see us. Cristin, I like your choooze.
Love your guys. Mah

Andy Dissatisfied: Again

Once again Andy was not satisfied with the accomodations. With his high standards it's no wonder.

This is a test post

Yes that's right. This is a test post that WILL be deleted later. Sometimes I've heard people say, "Delete Me." What exactly does that mean?

Anyway, this blog is for Susan, Karen, and Cristin and their men to post stuff. It'll be cool to be able to see what they all do. Their men are Rick, Andy, and Josh, respectively.

Well, here we go.

Love all.
