Back Together Again~

Kyle and Jamie's family arrived in Colorado this
weekend just before our Dad's funeral this week.
We enjoyed a Sunday meal together at the Kaiser home.

 Cody and Jim are having a fun little chat with Kebryl,
Kyle and Jamie's youngest child.
He was quite the entertainer for the night.

 The 17th was Kyle's birthday and the 19th is Kyandra's,
Kyle and Jamie's oldest daughter, she turns 15.  
We had a fun celebration with our traditional ice cream cake.

 Happy moment-ready for that ice cream cake, mmmmmm...

 Kebryl showing off his cute little cars.

 Life's pretty good for Kovyk.

 Nothing better than dessert!

 Cody's not minding time with all his cute cousins.
Kyandra, Chelsea, Koya, Kalysha.

 Cody??

 Love those cute kids!

 Kazdyn catching a "funny moment."

 Fun toy found!

 All hands on...trying to share.

 It's a hard thing to do.  Kovyk tried to distract Kebryl
to look at the photos on the camera so Kovyk could play
with the car by himself.  Kebryl was having none of it!

Cute little brothers.
It was a fun night for us all.

Wyoming Baby Blessing~

Jim and I paid Laramie, Wyoming an overnight visit
Saturday night to attend a baby blessing.
Our nephew Bret and his wife Liz had another 
baby girl, Adele, and invited us to come
for her blessing on December 4.

 We have had a great visit with family.  Jim's brother
Ralph and his wife Patsy flew in from Arizona to be
here for the event.  They must really love their 
grandbaby's because they endured zero degree 
temperature's over the weekend!

Thanksgiving Mountain Time~

We made time to have some Thanksgiving fun
in our beautiful Colorado Mountains.

 When there is at least four of us getting together
we usually find a way to work in a game of
"Settlers of Catan."
 I NEVER win!
But I was closer than I've ever been before....

Of course the main activity was skiing!
Bryce was excited to be back at skiing again
since he has not skied more than once for 6 years
due to diving and knee surgeries.
He was having fun trying out his new skies.

Sagebrush Invite 2011~

Cody is having a great time being back on the
Sagebrush Team he and his brother Bryce
have both dove for in the past.

 Just before the Sagebrush Invite 
the team posed for photos.

 Never a dull practice with this bunch.

Cody placed 1st on both the 1 meter and 3 meter.
