Playtime

Work retreat at Broncos stadium! Broncos season wrap up with some very fun games  and a super fun night out with Lylah and the Mooneys at Mane Event. Not a bad start to the year!!

 

The most special time of the year!

 

Christmas 2026

 

We had another lovely Christmas in Tucson with my parents. This is one of my favorite times of the year as my parents make it extra special and everyone is in the holiday spirit.

Although my mom’s health is slowly declining, she still made the best meals (with grandbob’s help!) and had the house decorated as special as always.

We had the shrimp that we all love so much, grandmama’s fried rice, the famous pasta salad, peppermint pie, cherry pie and Lobster tails for Xmas dinner!

We played Mexican dominos and aggravation, went for walks, played pickleball and watched movies, Broncos games and the Elway documentary. Belly laughs, including when grandbob splashed ice cream on Brady’s face! 😊 Had to be there to see it I guess! Xmas always goes by too fast, especially as we get older. I worry about my parents every year, and cherish each holiday that we get to spend with them.

I feel incredibly lucky to have such amazing parents and a family I am so proud of. Both kids learned this Christmas break that they made Dean’s list (Brady) and honor roll (Lylah). Such hard workers and just wonderful human beings!

 

Puppy Love

 

Family Weekend U of Utah

 

Parents Weekend

So much fun visiting Brady and his suite mates in Utah for parents weekend. Lylah brought Brooke along too, so they could check out college life 😊

We took all the boys out for dinner and got to know their parents a bit more, then visited the Utah Zoo (really nice!). Highlight of course was the football game (and tailgate at the boys form). Utah proceeded to kick CU’s butt, the boys ate some good food and their dorm room looked livable and fun 😊

All in all, a fun weekend and a nice treat to see Brady doing well in his first year of college life. I think it has had some ups and downs with the breakup from Juliette and general homesickness at times, but he has thrived academically and seems to have a good group of guys.

Let's Go Broncos!

 Broncos Season!

We re finally having a Broncos season to remember 😊 Bo Nix fever is here and the games have become even more fun than usual. We have some great memories for many years worth of Broncos, but always fun to have a winning season! And selfishly, it’s something both kids enjoy doing so I want to attend/watch together as long as we can. 

Mama and Pops Time!

 I was able to do a quick trip to see grandmama and grandbob in November. Love my one on one time with them and was glad to be there while my mom had her doc check up! We had yummy food. watched movies, played some games and talked and talked! and we were able to celebrate grandbob's Bday !! Special time with two of my most favorite people on the planet!! 

Philly!

 Philly!

Brady and I had the opportunity to head to Philly on the Broncos plane for a quick trip. It was super fun to see his excitement with the size of the plane and the constant stream of players in and out of the hotel lobby. He carried himself like a true professional at the fancy corporate dinner with the President (Damani Leech), enjoying some wine and fancy food 😊 and then Game Day!!! So fortunate that we were able to see a Broncos W at the last minute of the game. Could not have worked out better! Even an impromptu visit with Brandon McManus at the Philly airport. Truly happy to get to have these memories with my boy!
