2009 Family Reunion Estes Park YMCA

Hey everyone. My parents just sent out an email about the 2009 family reunion and so I thought I would post a link to the Estes Park YMCA website so people can check it out. Hope you are all having a great week.

Better to post late than never - Mammoth 2007

Christmas time is always a special time. The past two years have provided the opportunity for Kelsey and me to share some quality time together in Mammoth just before Christmas. Although Amy, Eric and Sean were also invited, for various reasons they have been unable to accompany us (work, other friends visiting, etc.) Colette likes this time to put the finishing touches on Christmas preparations so she is happy to have me out of the house. So, Kelsey and I go and do our thing. Our 2007 Christmas trip could not have been better. The resort had been lacking in snow and we were concerned that we might need to cancel. Never fear, the snow gods came through and blessed the mountains with more than four feet of fresh snow just before our arrival. Even better, the snow stopped as we arrived in town and we had fresh snow and sunshine for the two days we were there. Here are some pictures from perhaps two of our best days on the ski slopes. We wish you all could have been there.

It Begins

What a whirlwind weekend! First race of the year, and now it's back to Utah. These trips home never last long enough.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

It is so exciting to get on the family blog and read about everyone's fun lives! I just thought I would share a couple of pictures of the kids to show those of you who haven't seen them in a while how much they have grown! I can't believe Cooper will be one year old in just a few short days, time sure does go by fast!!! It sounds like everyone had a wonderful holiday and hopefully this new year will bring everyone happiness! The picture on the left is of the kids and our dog Miko. The picture in the middle is Brighton working on his "I can make a difference by...." poster, he chose to make a difference by recycling and he drew a world with a cycle of recycling around it and he painted it on the back of a pizza box to show he recycles. Of course, the picture on the right is our "Mini Coop" who is not quite so mini anymore! I love all of you and hope you have a great new year!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Here we are all at Grandma Jeppsen's. We have survived the bitter cold of The Canyons, a day of shooping and who knows what else. We have just read Mandy's blog and thought we ought to post a quick blog also. We are doing this so that we can show Grandma how to put pictures on the blog. Here we go.....

Greetings from New York, New York

Hey family! I just thought I'd fill you all in on my New York adventure thus far. My good friend Jami's Mom and Step-Dad are on a mission in New York City and invited us out over our break to come visit them. They live right next to the Temple here...its amazing! City life is a bit crazy for me, but I'm really liking the adventure I am having thus far.This is a picture of Jami's Mom, Jami, and me on top of the roof of our apartment. Jami's parents are extremely nice and I am having fun being here with them.
This is the spectacular view we have from the roof. We are right next to the ABC building and only blocks away from Times Square. We are really close to Lincoln Center.
Though I've only been here three days I have managed to see quite a lot. I'm sad I'll miss out on New Year's with the Jeppsens, but I think this trip has been good for me. Eric, please don't disown me from the family:) Anyways, I posted a lot of my trip so far on my blog so you all should check it out...there's some cool stuff I think. This picture is of Jami and me contemplating life in some chairs we found in Brooklyn. There's not very many places to sit down in New York so we enjoyed the moment when we found some. :) Love ya all and Happy New Year- this year I'll be ushering it in right where all of you will be watching!

I'm trying to get out of a bit of work on this wintry day so I am playing with the Bolg. I have read a few and written a few comments. There were some I could not get up but I will work on that. It has been a great Christmas Season and is not over yet. I went to Arizona to visit Brenda and Family, we had an "Anyone in the Area" when the Ipsons came to town, (19 of us) and Christmas Eve with the Biesingers. The California Jeppsens should be arriving from sunny California tomorrow to be greeted by ten inches of snow and more to come. All of you seem to have been in a good and happy place for Christmas Day. In a week or so everyone will be home again with good memories and happy faces. I am going to have someone help be put snow pictures on the blog one day. Love you all.
