Long Over due....

This post is LONG over due.

I haven't blogged since October!
Things in our life have been very crazy the past couple of months.
We have been very busy with work, family, & life in general.

During the winter here in the mountains life is very crazy.
It may be vacation for everyone else, but for me personally,
this winter has been one of the busiest winters so far.
I have been working at the optical store,
 teaching snowboarding lessons, & cutting hair when I can squeeze it in.

The snow more like what snow...has not been making its
annual winter appearance in Vail.
Last winter we had the BEST winter in Vail history.
This winter has been horrible weather wise.

I am counting down the days until summer.
I can hardly wait for all the trees to be green,
the sun beating down warming the earth.
Basically, I need a VACATION!
Let me make it clear...
A TROPICAL vacation.

Family life has been busy as well.
My little nieces & nephew have all have birthday parties.
They are growing up WAY too fast!
My youngest niece was born in December.
I have 4 nieces and 1 nephew.
Their ages range from 7 years old to 4 months.
They are so precious & I love them so much.
They give us practice for when Brock & I add a little member to our family.
My Mom had a little health scare this winter.
I don't want to get into details...but most importantly,
she is fine ( Thank you God ).

My birthday was earlier this month.
My Mom, her husband, and his son came to visit.
It was very exciting because I haven't had a birthday with my family in 6 years!
My Mom was cooking me birthday dinner as well!
Growing up when it was your birthday
Mom would cook us almost anything we wanted for dinner,
I always choose T-bone Steak. YUM!
So as you might have guessed I choose T-bone steak.
I also choose lobster because Brock's birthday was 10 days after mine & he loves it!
So I had dinner picked out days before they came out & I was so excited to go skiing with them.
Two days before my birthday & the day they arrived I got sick.
I thought I would just shake it off and be fine...but I was wrong.
The day before my birthday I had white spots & I was coughing a lot.
I went to the doctor...Strep throat & bronchitis was the answer I got.
All though I was not  feeling the best it was a wonderful day.
I woke up to beautiful flowers from Brock and a beautiful diamond bracelet.
Man, does he love me or what?
All in all it was a wonderful weekend with my loved ones.
I just wish that my Dad and sister were there as well.
Someday soon we will all get together for birthdays.

Brock's birthday was a couple of days ago as well.
I woke up early and cooked him a huge breakfast.
His favorites...French toast, bacon, & eggs.
I also baked and decorated a cake for him.
Chocolate on chocolate.
Ruby thought it was yummy as well..
I got a phone call from Brock saying that he found
his cake half eaten on the floor. Only Ruby.
I got him all new motocross gear.
He looks like a stud in it by the way.
Later that night we went out with some friends and his brother.

I recently sold my car which was bittersweet.
I loved my little BMW, but it was time for something bigger.
Poor Capone didn't have much room in the back seat being 95 lbs!
Ruby of course fits anywhere weighing a hefty 6 lbs.
When we were looking for a car I asked my brother in law for some ideas...
seeing that he has 4 children I thought he would give me some good advice.
I have to mention that Jon is a man's man.
He told me to get a Ford F150. 
I am a small women, about a 100 lbs & stand at 5' 3"...
Little me & an F150 wouldn't be ideal.
We purchased a VW Golf 4 door hatchback...in black.
It is not a huge car, it is perfect for us, not to mention its awesome on gas.
I am very happy that I have it. Car shopping is such a pain.
I am so glad that its in the past.

Well, that's all I have to say for now...
I will try to blog on a regular basis from now on.
