I think you are an ANGEL!!! I love you because you Love Colby and sacrifice so much!

Check out Colby's blog for amazing pictures of the rock climbing!!!The pool above was so relaxing as we layed and soaked up the warm sunshine!!

My friend called me when I was in vegas and wondered where I was! When I told her Las Vegas. She said: OH! My husband won't let me go near vegas because I can't resist gambling!! She was shocked when I told her we don't gamble... She said: What do you do in Vegas then!

It was just a great excuse for everybody to get together, the kids had just as much fun as the adults! I don't know if it is because we are all so tired of the winter weather , but I for sure enjoyed seeing everyone, visiting, catching up on the latest, and just wishing Maeve, best wishes on her big adventuer ahead.
