What have I been up too?

I'm sitting at the airport waiting for a flight to Seattle. I'm going to see my niece Heather.
She just had a new baby with some special needs so I'm going to lend my support and my
help. It's been a busy couple of weeks getting ready and getting settled after Christmas.

My computer is acting up. I hate that cause I don't know how to fix it or why its messing up.
So far I have been able to get to my book accounts in a round about way, but it is a pain. Blogging has been a challenge also. I need to set Jon on it when I have a chance and he has a chance, he is a busy boy. We did get a chance to take him to Black Hawk for him to gamble for first time. He turned 21 in Dec. He won we lost, we always loose, but it was fun and good food.

I knit some hats for the Samantha and her new sister, Danielle. I will get them modeled and blog pictures they are so cute.

We went to a couple of Estate sales...
We have sold several things at our vintage etsy store.
I you haven't checked it out you need too, we have some great stuff for sale.

We saw one of Cole's basketball games last weekend.
That was fun. He is a good basketball player, and they won it is always fun when they win.

Started dieting after the holidays...
and last but certainly not least I had a tooth pulled.
I don't want to talk about it, but I was upset. At least the pain is gone.

I had the boys all three of them for the night last weekend. That is always a challenge,
but fun.

We had our first experience with Craigs List this week, and it was a good one
Art sold Joe's boat.
It went fast. YEA....

We have had good weather here, not like the rest of the country. We had one good snow storm, but we need one, its been very dry in Colorado.

Not much more going on here,
BUT I do have to tell you what Johnmark and Erik did this weekend.

There is no lack of snow or cold in their neck of the woods...
so they took trip to Wisconsin.

Not to just eat burgers, though I'm sure JM loveed that, but
they did some ice fishing... I know he loved that...They both caught fish. I think it was a PIKE?
I willl verify that one, but they had a great time.

I love having them around and telephone accessable.
So All is good but busy in the Stape's neck of the woods.

I'll let you know how Seattle is...Art is jealous we both love Seattle.

Gotta go...we are boarding:)
