Ski Trip

This last weekend, Hunter and Cait took skiing lessons and then after we went sledding. I think we all had a lot of fun and I can't wait to see the rest of the photos! Check out Sheila's blog for more.

Inaugural week!!!

Today I watched the inaugural concert (online) and it was so incredible to see and hear the crowd and think of the change that is possible. I listened as the celebrity speakers mentioned Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr.; as they talked about being one. I very much look forward to January 20th and the change I hope is coming. It was easy for the 2 hours to forget how much Americans are hated, how many steps backwards were taken int he last 8 years, and how much of a recession we are in now. Thanks, I needed to forget more than I realized.

New Year's Week

This NYE, Bob wanted to snowshoe and have a fire and toast under that stars and we tried. The fire didn't really get going and it was COLD! We did enjoy the long weekend playing games and Wii though.

Make up Christmas

'96 Cascade Girl's Christmas, make up brunch (in January) pictures.

Each year the ladies I went to High School with, get together for a holiday brunch. This year because of the 'Artic Blast' we had to postpone and some of the girls that were in town for Christmas, were no longer in town so our group was a little small. The kids are Anthony, Kohen, Kelson and Ella. The ladies are Jen, Julie, Amber, Tonya and then myself, Cassie, Kristina and Sara. Jen's girl wasn't there and Tonya's boy isn't pictured either (for those of you keeping track).

Christmas '08

I know I'm a little behind, snowball effect and then after returning to work I learned of two layoffs and I've just been down. But here are some pictures to wrap it up.

Christmas Morning

(The pictures below are from the weekend after Christmas. We pumped insulation in and then repainted. I still have to finish touching up and the headboard, but many thanks to my dad and Bob's mom for their help!)
