Tips for dial-up lurkers...

Our blog contains thousands of pictures. Fortunately, they get archived each month and are easily accessed by clicking on the months listed under 'Archives'.

An even quicker way of navigating to newly posted pictures is by clicking on the first few links listed under 'Previous Posts'. These are called "permalinks" and they allow you to only open up the pictures listed in the particular posts. So instead of waiting for 400 pictures to load, you can quickly (relatively speaking, of course) load 20 or so.

If after that the pictures continue to load like the pace of a snail, please read the following article:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Walker had a busy day today. He woke up with a fever, runny nose, and a cough because he has FOUR new teeth coming in! We still had a great day and, as you can see below, a messy one as well. Our family sends our love to everyone. Thank you for taking the time to keep up with our insane lives. =)

The two most precious things in my life....

Walker is climbing everything these days...





Walker and his SpongeBob valentine













We were invited to Walker's daycare for Valentine's day. All the kids had fun playing in the whipped cream!

THANK YOU!!!

Many thanks to Wendi, Smurf, Eli, Caleb, and Amstel for a wonderful ski vacation! Jason & I appreciate the fact that you opened up your home to us (even though I apparently snored the entire time).

Copper Mountain is everything I could've asked for but spending it with your family made it that much better. Sooooo.....same time next year???

Copper Mountain Ski Trip -- The most snow the mountain has seen in over a quarter century.


It sure is cold at 11,990!

We jumped out of the car and could only snap a couple shots because it was so cold and windy.



Gotta love "avalanche blasting at anytime"

This was taken in Silverthorne. Yeah...it snowed a lot while we were there...

American Eagle lift







Can you say ZERO visibility?



Thank you, Lazy Lizard, for my Tuaca & Red Bull(s)











This is where we got to live for a week...poor us.

They even have a Starbucks...I was in heaven.









Jason and the Giant 12 foot Snowbank

It's a good thing they kept this sign uncovered...



I thought the snow trails were pretty sweet...

I think Chappy was using arithmetic to figure out the dimensions of the snow bank

The snow was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to return soup at a deli! (seinfeld reference)

Ahhh...the Cantina. This little gem is a stones throw from Smurf & Wendi's condo.

Here comes the sun....

Shots from the condo...

My favorite shot from the Summit...
