The Grizwald's Vail Vacation!

Christi surprised us and got us upgraded to first class!! We watched movies, slept, and of course the guys took advantage of the FREE drinks....even though it was 10AM!!!

We all went tubing down the mountain the first day we got to Vail. When Lou tried, he went flying down so fast! He flew past the point where he was supposed to stop and nearly busted through the tarp that keeps people from flying off the cliff. His face was priceless (so was the faces of all the people running for their lives to get out of his way)! By the way, these were not little tiny slopes we went down. These were like the big slides at Schlitterbahn but with snow not water! Kinda scary!

Why must I do this everytime I see a microphone? For God's sake...I must be stopped!

All the girls also got up and sang "Proud Mary" all together. It was cute until we got past the chorus and no one knew the words...oops!

Our fan club...This is wrong on so many levels...

LOOK AWAY....LOOK AWAY!!!

Dad and Mom gave us all this trip for a Christmas present....we're so lucky! Thanks Guys!

He refused to take off those goggles and hood for the picture.

The only time black, fitted, simon cowell-like shirts are forgivable...kind of.

You guys should have seen Brian on the mountain...He was awesome! Doing all the jumps and skiing so fast...I had no idea! I hate him....he's good at everything!

Me and My Peeps!

No...that is not a fake background!

The whole family went to Vail for Spring Break! It was the best vacation we have taken together since I can remember. Everyone had a great time. However, everytime I saw a baby I nearly cried b/c Grace wasn't there (definetly will be next year...too little this year). Oh well, she was in good hands at her Grandma and Grandpa Bordano's house. I kept reminding myself of how much fun I had staying at my Grandparent's house growing up...such great memories! That made me feel a little better! Anyway--here's some pics...It was so beautiful!

Bath Time!

Jumpin' on the bandwagon...

Okay...I always said I would never start a blog, that I just didn't have that much time on my hands and if I did actually get the time I wouldn't want to spend that time on the computer. For God's sakes, I think I'm the only person in the world that still doesn't have a myspace or facebook page! Then, I started looking at all my friend's blogs and it really seemed like a wonderful way to document what's going on in your life. These days get so busy and pass by so quickly, I had to figure out a way to remember all these special moments in our lives! Anyways, here I am...a blogger! I know you are all thinking, "how in the world did she figure out how to do that?" The truth is, it was really easy to figure out or else I would have given up this idea immediatly! I love you all and I hope you enjoy the blog. Keep in mind this girl isn't posting everyday, twice a month maybe!

Gracie loves riding the gator with her Mimi to feed the sheep. Every time Mimi puts her arm across her she pushes it away. "Independent woman"!

Gracie's 1st Birthday!

Saturday was our angel's 1st birthday! I cried all week leading up to it. I couldn't believe that she was already a YEAR old. It was the fastest year of my life. We had a monkey party for her, complete with a moonbouce (which wasn't used that much due to the windy weather/$200 well spent) and a monkey pinata! It meant so much to me to see all the family and friends that came to celebrate! She opened tons of presents (okay...I had to open them while she played with tissue paper), smeared cake all over her face and her daddy's, and we watched a tear jerking slide show of her 1st year thanks to her Aunt Kiki and Uncle Lou. It was an awesome day that I will never forget...probably because I have about a million pictures and tons of video footage!
