Surviving Winter 2008




One of my New Year's resolutions is to post more often on my blog. Evident in the fact that my last post has a picture of me flying down the slip-n-slide in the heat of summer, which seems like eons ago as I look out at the frosty, inversion coated Oquirrh mountains in mid-January. Much has happened between then and now. Travels to San Diego to celebrate a dear friend's life who passed away from a brain tumor that was unyielding ~ Tears of sadness of a nephew's passing, but joy in celebrating his life and the smiles he left with all of us, and new baby nephews being born, bringing more smiles with the reminder of how life continues to go full-circle - full steam ahead. We've been enjoying time with family throughout the holidays - as this picture shows Marty and I with the kids and grandboys on Christmas morning - with the snow flying outside. A perfect time to put on our 'snugglies' while creating warm family memories...

Cath crashes the "slip & slide" party!

My new version of 'surfing' with 'Spider Man'....notice Brody waiting patiently behind for his turn. ;)

Brynn and Brody...two cute faces!


BBQ time on the patio.......(although Brody looks like he would really rather get back to the 'slip & slide'!!! ;)

Party barge of KIDS!

4th of July - camping with the Daley clan (Marty's cousins).  The kids had a blast....and so did we!

Kayak time...

Kayaking with our San Diego buddy Chloe...what a steller day!

Summer sailing...

Grandpa takes Brody out on 'True Blew' for his first sail on the lake!

Summer update...


It's been awhile since I posted to our page....too much fun in the summer to be sitting on the computer!  Nonetheless, here are some fun photos of what we've been up to since summer arrived (i.e. pillow fights, camping, kayaking, lake sailing, BBQ'ng, and general warm weather FUN!)

Video of our first snow angel!

Perfect weather for making snow angels. Marty and I had just arrived...after a LONG drive from San Diego. We couldn't resist making our mark in our new front yard!

Breaking out of the snow drift!

Tango and Pirate are still getting used to the snow, although Tango seems to love it more than Pirate!

Time with Tye & Brody....on the lake


We took a walk on Oquirrh Lake, across the street from our house, and had a visit by some very friendly ducks and Canadian Snow Geese. They were a little TOO friendly!

Tango and Pirate in their stylish, warm, winter attire ;)


You can see by the change in climate.....there are no palm trees here...just SNOW! Eeeeks! Pirate and Tango insisted on wearing their new, warm, sweaters before I sent them out into the freezing cold again!
