I don't have a reasonable excuse for not blogging about last week.  Oh wait! I think it was the wind.  Nope, because it's blowing like crazy this morning and here I am.  So the week in a nutshell. ...
We met Brad's new oncologist here in Greeley, having switched to a new insurance plan this year. (Oh, and hasn't THAT been a challenge!) Anyway, we thankfully really liked him and felt good about the information that he gave us regarding Brad's ongoing maintenance.
On Friday, I went to play bridge with my friend Beth at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. Wow, speaking of windy...there were gusts of over 60mph during the tournament and the building literally rattled like a plane was landing on the roof! It was great spending the day with her.
Saturday is to become "game day", as Sophie is playing indoor soccer and Corbin is playing basketball, so we'll be sitting on the bleachers for the next few Saturdays.  I tried really hard to get pictures of Sophie playing, but between the Plexiglas and the netting, it's pretty impossible.
 


This is what most pictures looked like through the net!
 

After the game, Carrie and I took the girls and Corbin to see "Walking with Dinosaurs", a cute movie about a Pachyrhinosaurus that tried to be informative.  Every few minutes one of the girls would ask "What's a carnivore again?"  or "What's an omnivore?" "What's a herbivore?" (Oh, like my knowledge of dinosaurs is so vast...)  On the way home from the movie, the three budding pop stars performed. Enjoy!
Not sure we'll see them on tv........
Sunday was the big Bronco game (well, not as big as the upcoming ones) and the boys (Brad, Curt, Spencer and Dave Fields) were among the 78,000 attendees.  The apparently had a wonderful time (maybe a wee too good of a time) and survived the win, the wind and the crowds!
 
 Meanwhile, the rest of us stayed home and enjoyed the game and some broccoli cheese soup, bread and lots of "snackage".  Amie brought a blanket to finish and Carrie, Rory and I managed to complete the single most difficult jigsaw puzzle I've ever worked on.  The four little ones played dress up and somehow coerced Grayson into putting on a dress!


 
 P.S.
I just thought of something I didn't include in our Griswald adventure....While we were at In-and-Out Burgers on Christmas Eve, Spencer bet Rory $10 that he wouldn't eat one of the smokin' hot peppers that you can request for your burger.  Rory did it! (although nearly throwing up in the process) and Spencer had to pay up!
