Friends

Friends are such a gift!

Jeff was able to spend some time with some of his "old" childhood buddies this week. Above Chuck, Chad, and Jeff strike a handsome pose! They have been planning their 40th birthday trip with the guys! This is a classic picture! As I go to take the picture he strikes the pose and Ava's look is priceless! We have had numerous conversations over how he can hug his friends but not kiss them. He must save all his Kisses for mommy right now. In which he replies.. that he has saved one kiss for Ava and the rest for me!

They all three had a blast singing at the top of their lungs, playing dress up and pretending to get married! First Ava married Breck and then Kacey married him... it was a busy day for the young casanova!

Can you ever have too much fun!

HAPPY 2009!

This Blog entry is probably way too long so grab a cup of tea and enjoy! We do hope that each of you had a wonderful time with friends and family over the holidays.

We brought in the new year with 30+friends and it was so much fun playing Bunco and celebrating another year.

Our Christmas Vacation in Colorado was enjoyed in many ways as you'll see below!
