Have I mentioned I just love our new camera!!!

Busy that is the story of our life. So far this month we have enjoyed a trip to the Omaha Zoo, game night at Jamison's house, trip to the farm, Super Bowl Party, playing outside on the 60degree days, playing in the snow,trip to the Dr.,trip to St.E's for abdominal xrays(he was having a poop issue) and birthday parties. Tonight we will be going to church for a Valentine Dinner put on by the youth group. Brian has been busy traing for the Lincoln full marathon which will be in May and working out almost everynight of the week plus staying busy with school and work. Brian attened our neighborhood meeting at the beginning of the month to listin and voice his concern's for Matt Talbott moving into the neighborhood. If you have not been following this city council passed it and they will start work on it come fall. Now for a couple of pics from this month so far.

Colorado Vacation

A week after we get home from vacation I finally have time to sit down and update. Colin had a blast skiing for the first time as you can tell in the pictures. When you ask him about it he will act it out then tell you that he fell down the hill and hit his head. He won't stop talking about skiing. So I think we are going to make sure he gets up on the slopes a couple times a year. He had no problems at all while we were out there with the altitude and his lungs. And we had great weather the whole week we were out there. It was great getting to spend time with my mom, Lancer, Dominque and Acacia.
Brian starts classes back up this week, so life will be busy once again until May when we have a couple weeks break. We have a couple of projects we want to start working on inside the house and the big one I want to have done before Summer is our bedroom floors. We have wood floors but they need some serious work. Also want to look at building a shelving area under our stairs(but then we would loose our tornado shelter). Colin's LPS teacher continues to come out every week to Preschool/daycare to work with him. He is making a big improvment and can't get over how far he has come. Come March we will once again apply for the EXCITE Program with LPS.
Colin continues to amaze us everyday and we have been so blessed to have had such a healthy winter so far.
Until next time
God Bless

Part 2-Dogsledding

Today we went on an adventure of a lifetime. We went Dogsledding(Brian,Colin,Dominque and I). It was so much fun and we went on a 5 mile route, the dogs were great and Colin loved getting out and petting and hugging every single dog every time we stopped. Did i mention there was 12 dogs pulling our 2 sleds. After we got back to our post Colin got to help feed the dogs meat soup. Brian got to drive one of the sleds as I sat in the sled with Colin. This afternoon we went back into town to find Colin some ski boots. At the second shop we finally found some that would work with his wide feet.So tomorrow morning Colin will attempt his first run on the slopes. He can't stop talking about going skiing. O and Im happy to report he is having no problems with his breathing so far up at this altitude. We are relaxing and playing a lot of scrabble and video games.
Singing off from Beaver Lakes Estates Goodnight,

Holiday's and Vacation so far

Happy New Years to everyone. We had a great Christmas, and enjoyed spending time with both of our families. We are now on our second family vacation in 6 months and are spending it up in Leadville, CO. with my mom(Lila) and step-dad (Lancer) and my stepsister Dominque. We drove to Denver on Saturday and stayed at the Marriott City Center for the night in downtown Denver and then went out to eat dinner at a brewery with our friends Garrett and Rupi. Sunday morning we got up really early and went for a swim around 6 and then got ready for the day and headed up to Summit County to do a little shopping and then headed up to Leadville,CO. to meet up with my sister Acacia and her boyfriend Dan so we could follow them up to my mom's house at Beaver Lakes Estates.
will update more later Colin is grumpy and doesn't want me on the computer.
