Ivy on Christmas Morning

Christmas 2008, Ivy loved opening presents!

Fairlane Update

From the summer. Here are a few pics of the latest restorations. Added a MSD ignition, new door panels, mirrors, dyed the rear panels, and uh....polished the valve covers.

More Ivy Pics

She is growing up so fast it is really unbelievable. She cant reach the pedals yet but loves to ride around on the bike!

Silver Mountain Pics

We had a great weekend up at Silver Mountain. (thanks ellayne and rob!) They have a fun indoor water park and the worlds longest gondola. The mountain was a bit lacking in new snow, but could be super fun on the right day. Lots of steep tree runs and wide open sweepers. We slayed the corduroy in the morning and even made a few pow turns! After getting slightly lost, (powder hounding it OOB) we had to hike out of a ravine for 20 minutes. It felt like an hour, but it was fun.

Happy New Year!

Tasty Treats!

The Brothers Grim!

Jenn is a guitar master!

We rang in the new year at Rich and Lolos with lots of food and a little Rock Band.

Tri City Americans Hockey

We went to another Tri City Americans hockey game with Rich and Laurel last week. Rich get tickets through Tyson and its always fun to root for the home team!

This did not end well for the Blazers.....KO!


We beat them in the fights, they beat us on the score board.....cant win em all!

Jenn's checkup

Its that time of year when you take a look at things and realize Hey, I've met my insurance deductible is there anything else I need to get taken care of?! Well I figured I should have surgery. Not a fun thing to do at the end of the year, but it had been a couple of years since my last laprascopy so I had to get checked for cysts. Of course there were a couple of them growing and also some other things going on so I got it taken care of. Ivy and I drove over to Portland and I left her there with my parents while I flew to Denver to have my surgery. It was a quick trip, and I had some great help while I was there. It was actually the best surgery I have had as far as waking up from anesthesia and that kind of thing. So I am glad I had it taken care of. Next up is our third and final round of IVF. Hopefully we will be able to have a brother and/0r a sister for Ivy! Ivy had a marvelous time with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Cory. I'm feeling pretty good these days and am thankful for really good insurance and really good doctors. Hopefully it will be another couple of years before I have to do it again though.
