Snow Snow and more Snow

The past few winters have been hard long winters.  Just last night it snowed again luckily for us we just had a dusting but north of us they got up to a foot or more of snow.  This winter it wasn't just the snow but it was the COLD!  The kids missed 5 days of school in January and February because it was too COLD to go.  It was crazy cold here. 

Here are some fun pictures I took of the kids and Gracie along with her friend Gus (we were dog sitting) out in the pool area having some fun.   Look at all that snow. 

Steamboat Springs 2014

I am way behind on this blog but I do vow to get caught up.  So we did our annual ski trip to Steamboat again this year and as always we had so much fun.  We flew in to Hayden, CO this year and that was much more relaxing than flying into Denver and driving up. 

Once we arrived, Grandpa Al picked us up at the airport and we headed to the house that we rent.  The ski rental company arrived and Jon and K decided that they were going to snowboard and the rest of us got skis. 

We went for our usual pizza that night.  Jon claims its some of the best pizza in the world.  The next day we got up early and hit the slopes.  The kids skied with us the entire 4 days of skiing and they did great.  K actually boarded the whole time and I was so amazed on his progress in those four days.  Jon boarded the first 2 days and then switched to skiing. 

Our days were spent skiing and our evenings were spent hot tubing, lounge in our comfy clothes and eating some great food that Grandma Mary mostly worked on. 

The trees were very snow covered this year and it reminded my of GG Del.  She loved the snow covered trees.  The pictures that I took did not do the beauty of it justice.  It really was breathtaking and wonderful to be immersed in this for a few days.

The whole trip was amazing and once again we were so sad when we had to say goodbye but so blessed to have the time we did together surrounded by the beauty of God's work.
