All day skiing.

Cooper with Uncle Gary

Snowball fight, of course

The boys are finally back in town. I sure did miss them but KNEW they were having such a wonderful time. Cooper got to see snow for the first time. Not only did he get to see lots of snow but actually got to see it falling from the sky! At least I think that's pretty cool. The Florida boys had to stop at Walmart and buy Cooper boots and long socks after being there for about 1 hour. His little ankle socks and soccer shoes just did not cut it. Floridians truly have no idea how to dress for real cold weather! When he got off the plane he was strutting off his new Colorado boots. Cool Dude. He has so many stories to tell. I am so excited for all the new memories that he made with just his Daddy. Thanks to Uncle Gary and Aunt Linda for being a fantastic host to the both of them. Driving in the ice like a pro, all the sights, food and a wonderful place to stay. They checked off everything on their list plus some. Now, for the rest of the family to go. I have never been and now I can't wait! Simply beautiful.

IF by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same; If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them; "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If either foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son!

My Dad

our last christmas, little did we know!! we miss you-you are always in our thoughts. We sold his house, it was as if we had to say goodbye again. Nothing but fond memories. Movie night, hide and go seek, fishing, the beach, pool table, weight room, ice cream, bagels, peach diet iced tea, laughing...simply you. Miss you more than you will ever know. It feels as if it was just yesterday, thank God you are "free". "With your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye, go in peace and laugh on Glory's side. And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and LIVE....." .
