Happy Birthday, Gramma Judy!
(Rob:) Last weekend we went to visit Gramma Judy and all of our Colorado peeps
to celebrate Gramma Judy's 67th birthday. We had a great time despite some really horrible
football (both the Hawkeyes and the Broncos went down in flames.)
Here are some pictures from our visit:
Tessa and GJ
Gramma's new dog "Noodles". Not the prettiest dog in town, but she's the most
docile and attentive mammal I've ever seen. She's never more than 12 inches
away from Mom but never barks or growls. She could use a breath mint, but
other than that she's really a pleasant addition to the family.
Jude, Mitchell and Sam out in Gramma's backyard
Batman Jude
Mitchell: "The Batboy"

On Sunday, Tessa Jean and Sam worked for a couple of hours on this
rap song about bad pizza:
Grampa Jim whipping up some awesome chili before the Bronco game
Tessa displaying her paddle ball superiority
Here's a clip of Elena showing her mad alphabetical skillz:
Mom with her hot friend Deloma
Lots of cards and balloons came rolling in for the big party
Cake time!

We had to say good bye on Monday morning. Here's Mitchell and Zanny giving Sam
hugs and kisses by force
Gramma Judy with all the grandkids now,
and five years ago (pre-Elena):
It was a fantastic visit, but very hard to say good bye on Monday. I left
my camera in the rental car with all of these photos in it,
but fortunately the good folks at Hertz found it and sent it along a couple
of days later.
I love all of this. ya know, the Broncos getting smashed reminds me of another time this season. A game in which the Chiefs beat the Broncos!!!!Whew!Yah!Go CHIEFS!!!

Great pictures from a great weekend. I had a great time. For the life of me I don't know how I got blessed with such great looking grand kids.
How about those Hawkeyes? How warm is it in Flordia around the first of the year? Can't look ahead. Listening the the mix you cut for me. It is huge.
Love to All!!!
