Olive with one of her new toys

Olive turned one this past week and the kids were very excited about it. They went to the pet store and bought a number of presents. Olive was happy to have the treats and the new toys, Although she ended up getting sick and Marcy had to take her to the vet but she recovered quickly.

A gorgeous day for skiing in Keystone

Jude was supposed to open the soccer season this weekend with the Ice Breaker tournament. But due to the snow we have had in Denver the tournament was canceled. So, Jude and I decided to take advantage of all the snow and head up to Keystone for a day of skiing. It was a gorgeous day, sunny and quite warm and the snow was excellent. We had a full day, skiing 20,000 vertical feet including some challenging bump runs in the Outback.

Meanwhile this weekend Anna had a Girl Scout camp out near Bailey. It was an Olympics theme with each troop representing various different countries, Anna’s was Italy. She won a gold medal in the curling event (with beanbags) which was pretty cool. It wasn’t all fun and games though. We got a call on Saturday night from Anna. She had a bad fall while walking on an icy road and cut her knee. It was bleeding a lot and she was in pain. But she toughed it out and made it home this morning in good spirits.
