Catching Up - Spring/Summer/Fall 2017

So much to share to cover in the 2017 calendar year.   LB started 1st grade, lost her 4th tooth, and scored her first goal in a soccer game.   There are probably several more milestones that Im forgetting, but here goes-

Chilling poolside w/ Lux.  So glad we invested in a pool.

This is what happens when you get that pool- the kids come over!  Water-balloon fight. 

Summer camp!

Soccer warm up.  

Post soccer game treat.

Taking in a Rainbow in the neighborhood

Yeah- this guy was on our porch one night.  Size of LB's hand.

Pool at night

Break - Here are a couple random ones that just make me happy. Terry losing in ping pong. 

Hupp losing a bet to me.  Payoff- he had to wear Eagles gear all weekend.  It was glorious!

Back to LB-  Posing with the Halloween Dragon!

7th Birthday party- Main Event!

Getting ready to watch the "the last Jedi" - she likes Yoda

 

Whenever she knows a friend is coming over, this is the "wait".  Funny, I remember doing the same thing when I was young...waiting for the old man to come home from work.  Then latching onto his legs so he'd drag me through the kitchen.

Christmas setup, take 2.

Wait!?!?   Is that snow in San Antonio?  In December?  

And the girl's built a snowman.

Reindeer food...getting ready for Xmas!

Breckenridge 2017

Kicking off an amazing trip with snow angels.   Never gets old.

Blue Bird!  View from the top of Imperial Bowl <> <> 

Most of this group will want to remove this night from memory.  Nevertheless- Great game, great food, great fun!

Saw this at the bottom of Peak 8--- what a great way to end an afternoon!

Snowmobiling through the Georgia Pass /Continental Divide  

Proof

 More proof.  #toiletbowl=green circle:)

Happy hour @3pm.  

Me to Josh- We've got time for a couple more runs.   

Josh to me- Colorado Superchair to Frosty's Freeway to E Chair to Sizzler to Falcon Chair to Peak 10.  

Me to Josh - Giddy up!  

45 minutes later....Standing at the top of Peak 10 (our favorite spot of the week)

Me to Josh- We aren't dropping down into Mustang again...That was a DEATHTRAP!

Josh to Dave - Agreed.

Oh Boy.  We are in trouble.

<><>Enjoyed this run 3 of the 4 times this week.  <><>

Sorry, Mom.  Someday I'll join the 99% which wear a helmet. #outlier #fearlessat40

Looking up at the Imperial Bowl.  Where's that helmet?

2016 - Speed Round

I know.  It's been way too long.  2016 was a whirlwind of a year.  Built and moved into a new house. LB started kindergarten.  Dave 40.  Ashley and Dave 10.  Geez.

Easter 2016. LB and the Easter Bunny.

LB and her rodeo gear.  I'll give you one guess who picked this outfit...

I love this picture.  So much.

Me and friends.  Top Gun.  Just sayin.

LB loves her new room.

Miracle dog.  Made the comeback of all comebacks.

Thanksgiving dinner.  Yep- thats the Xmas tree in the background.  Because...

That's how we roll.  Best setup in the neighborhood.  Griswold's?  Please...

Best wife ever.  Best stocking stuffer ever.

Thanks Dustin!

This is what happens when I'm left alone w/ LB.  We make new games to resemble old games.  Just like Beirut, circa 1997.

Getting ready for the 2017 Ski Season.    Breck - here we come!  

How you eat the best cupcake in San Antonio - By LB

Introduced LB to a Shirley Temple -  Verdict?

Mmmmmm.  We've got a winner!
