Thank Goodness for Family

I have to give my husband a lot of credit for his help lately.  Being sick all weekend I turned into a lump of coal when it came to helping with Dax.  Zach stepped up to the plate and took over "mommy duties" by entertaining the little man, keeping him fed, and happy.

Zach entertained Dax for a full day with boy stuff to give me a chance to rest up.  

Trucks = Happy Boys

Roundhouse lunch to celebrate Bryan's new job

Jean arranged to get everyone together at the Roundhouse Restaurant for lunch.  Half-way up Bald Mountain we celebrated Bryan's new nursing job.  After completing his nursing exams Bryan landed himself a new position within 24hours.  Not bad!  

Dax loved the gondola ride and now calls it "go-go-la".

Good times with daddy :)

Nick and Jean were kind enough to take on Dax duties tonight.  

It's so tremendously wonderful to have their help when we aren't 100%.  

Love all my family and working on getting better so I can get back in the game :)

Reno Visitors

Gigi, Erin, Nik and McKinley made the long drive up from Reno to visit with us over the weekend.  Yay!  We were so excited to see them and sad our time together has already blown bye.  

Nick and Jean were so kind to let the Kosach's stay with them over the long weekend.

Of course lot's of activities.

The boys spent most of their time skiing in the backcountry.  

Gigi was an excellent baby sitter allowing Erin and I to get a little skate ski in while she watched the kiddos at my favorite spot Galena.  

Lunch crew gathered on Galena deck.

Erin gettin her groove on.

Baby McKinley get's a bath.

Dax and Sarah head out for a little ski.

Ladies out for a walk.

So glad you came and PLEASE come again!  We miss you already!  

Next time maybe you can stay longer.

...Oh and go niners in the Super Bowl :)

Cold Weekend

Brrrrrrr...it has been cold around here lately!  But luckily we have had some good snow storms to make the cold seem a little more fun.  

Temperature outside when I woke up this morning.  Yes, that's a -8.

 Despite the COLD temperatures we've found ways to stay busy outside.

Thank goodness for a local indoor pool!

Zach and Dax make sure to clear the new snow as it comes each day.

As Zach said to me it wouldn't be winter unless it's cold.  

He has a point.  I was just hoping for a little less cold.  

New

Lot's of New for this coming year.  

New Year

New Adventures

New Baby

That's right, this May our family is excited to welcome a new baby!  

Dax is going to be a big brother.

We are thrilled and looking forward to meeting the little new-bie.

Happy 2013 to everyone!  

May it bring you health, love, and happiness :)
