Snow...Finally!!

After possibly the most pathetic snow year I can remember, we got 10 inches!  I will never take snow for granted again.  It's been down right sad up there this year.  We had a blast enjoying the freshly fallen snow.

Never a dull moment with Max!

It's always a good day when grandma joins us!  Sam was having boot trouble and it was cold so we took several breaks.  I love the vibe of Sundance on Sunday.  I felt so popular in the lodge running into lots of friends.  There's no place I'd rather be.  I'm so glad Hank felt good enough to join us.  

Fingers crossed for many more storms!

Griffy the Caretaker

It's no secret how much I love this dog.  Yes he's adorable but more importantly he cares about every single member of our family.  He knows who might need a snuggle, or a lick on the face.  Hank has been really sick and Griffy knew just what to do.

He laid like that, wide awake while Hank slept. 

The other night, Griffy woke me up, scratching vigorously next to the bed.  Usually when he does that if he needs to go out.  So I opened our bedroom door to let him out.  He wouldn't go so I climbed back in bed.  He continued to scratch.  I got up and checked my phone and sure enough, Hank's blood sugar was low.  As I walked into the kitchen to get a juice box, Griffy followed and watched.  I went downstairs and gave Hank juice.  When I came upstairs he was peacefully asleep in our bed.  Coincidence, maybe, but still such a cool experience.  Usually my alarm wakes me up but it didn't for some reason.  So grateful for my sweet pooch who's apparently becoming a diabetes alert dog.

I had my own bout with illness a few days later.

This little angel.  Best. Dog. Ever.

Sunday's at Sundance

Season passes and new ski's mean we're headed to Sundance any chance we can get.  If only there were more snow!  The back mountain isn't even open yet.

It wouldn't be a ski trip if we didn't forget something.  This particular day we forgot Sam's coat.  He scored this sweet Sundance sweatshirt so he made out pretty good.

This particular Sunday, the kids didn't feeling like skiing so Randy and I left them home and enjoyed a few hours together.  There isn't a better place to spend time with my love.

After ski hair don't care!  We get home, hop in the hot tub, make a creation on the Traeger, and relax knowing we had a wonderful day on the mountain together.
