December 13, 2015

I realized that I haven't posted a new blog update since January! That is crazy. It is almost 2016 and in some ways this year has gone way too fast. It was a fun filled, happy, crazy, laughter filled year. Here then, is a look back at the CO Lidh family. . .

In February we decided to book a vacation to Oahu. Chris, Michelle, and Ryder were there and not coming back to Colorado until early July. We were very excited about going. Of course as most of you know, I ended up not being able to fly, and therefore Jason and myself had to stay in Colorado while Kevin/Grampy went for a week to visit and for Chris's graduation from Hawai'i Pacific University. I have several pictures of Michelle from that trip but not on the file that I can retrieve for this, so you are welcome to look at the albums on Facebook from the trip. :)
 
This picture I believe was prior to the ceremony but I'm not sure. I do not remember.
 
March and April were violently stormy for us.
 
 
It wasn't a fun couple of months!
 
May was cold but not as stormy.
We repainted our kitchen over Memorial Day weekend but I don't have pictures of this particular project.
 
June was a month that found me finishing up 7th grade with Jason. Mostly math, but a few other things as well that I wanted to get done with him before we started back in late August.
 
July found us celebrating the 4th cooking out, having a picnic, and watching the Sky Sox. We lost, but it was a fun afternoon and evening.
 
 
Michael moved back down right after and we got him situated in his old room. Kevin/Grampy picked up Sable and Bailey at DIA. They flew in a day before Chris, Michelle, and Ryder. They landed the next day and Kevin/Grampy went and picked the three of them up at DIA.
Having lunch at Cracker Barrel. :)
They were here for three weeks and although we had 5 adults, 1 baby, a 13 year old and 3 dogs, we loved every single minute of it. Again, I am having a difficult time with this wanting to upload pictures, but there are several in my pictures on Facebook.
 
They left the last day or two of July or actually it might have been the first couple of days of August, for their trek to Florida. They are stationed at Hurlburt Field.
Ryder showing off their new home in base housing. :)
 
August we rested and enjoyed our last few weeks of summer break before we started back to school.
 
September seemed to really sort of come and go and we're not certain where it went. October was a full and fast month.
 
November came and it was finally time to head out on our trek down to Florida to visit. We had a great time.
 
We got to spend a bit with Michelle on her birthday, and were there for Thanksgiving, the Iron Bowl, and Ryder's 1st birthday. Again...you'll have to look in my pictures to see more from the trip. We were sad to leave but happy we'd all had such a great time. We are already anxious for our trip in July to hurry up and get here.
 
This month has been hectic and we've all been sick except Kevin/Grampy. Looking forward to Christmas.
 
Here's looking forward to a happy and healthy 2016!!
