"Oh Nana, Where Art Thou?"

Nana has left us for sunny Florida. Yes, it is true....and yes....she is missed! Papa is working until Thursday, which leaves dad in charge. He is such a great dad, but a 5 month old girl is definately a challenge when you are overcoming a broken leg! Dad is kind enough to let mom work, so he is in charge of the "Whole Shebang!"...and many kisses he will get for it! But Bella feels the effects of not having Nana there every morning for wonderful playtime, hugs, green beans (stage 2!), snuggles and kisses. Nana...............................................Please come home soon! We miss you!

"Oh, Nan...they just don't get it. I need constant attention and love. Come home soon!"

"Hey Nan.... I pooped 3 times for Dad today! Heeee heeee!!!"

"Check out my new bow from Rebecca! Thanks Becca!!!!!!!"

"All right now! Bows and poop aside....Nana, please don't leave me again! Look at this face...How could you leave me??????!!!!!" (xoxoxoxoxo see you Sunday for Brunch! Love BELLA!!!!)

Making Deck Skiing that much more fun!

Wow! The boys played their first real "gig" up on the deck at our FAVORITE ski resort, Sunlight Mountain! It was a blast! A beautiful Colorado day made it all the better! It was for a mini X games type competition day. A bunch of our friends showed up! Eileen, our wonderful friend and her equally wonderful husband Don scored a great big table for us all....and proceeded to adorn it with linens and wine glasses as well as fabulous food! (shrimp, anyone??!!homemade guacamole??!!) The rest of the crew showed up as well... Sheli and Jim, Tina and Clark, and the kids...with more fabulous food and even better company! Top that with our best videographer/photographer/roadie Bob and his lovely wife Sandi (the band chef)... Dylan and Bo's family......Nana (Super Nanny) and Papa...and of course Cousin Frank from Illinois (Happy Birthday!!!)....it was truly a fun day for all! Even Bella bundled up and deck skied with us to the tunes of Arch Angel! I have to say, regardless of the fact that I am not heavy metals biggest fan in the world, they kicked some butt! I really enjoyed watching them! And considering they were called back for an encore, I think many others did as well! ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bo "BadAss" on the drums, and Dylan on the bass!

James in the groove! Poor guy came down with a horrible cold the night before, but that did not stop the shredding!

Cole Monster and Dylan, rocking the house!

Can't think of a title!

Hmmmmm... quiet week in the household. Nothing new to report. Lotsa work, school, preparing income taxes, doing laundry, getting excited for Cousin Frank's visit.....Can't think of anything new to write! So enjoy some pics! Hey, I get bragging rights with 4 such wonderful kids!

Jesse and the bug, snuggling on the couch before church!

James and his sweet smile!

Always the jokester, Coleman making me laugh!
