Condo 2009

It was another great year at our Jackson Condo unit. Lori, Brad and kids spent from Sunday night til late Thursday morning there and we joined them Wednesday early afternoon and spent until Saturday before returning home. It was so great to see them again and spend some time with them. They are such a great family! It was a kick watching Kate play with her souvenir from their trip...a stack of black magnets...which entertained her for hours! It reminded us of Matt's love of magnets and the fact that he called his "spencers" after Spencer Stokes who gave them to him one night at a fireside when he was just a little guy. Todd's was a book full of ideas on how not to grow up! It was quite hilarious! I honestly can't remember what Jack's was, but he entertained us with his darling personality and his new little phrase of "I didn't see THAT coming!" It was fun to go out and watch them play in what they call "The Park" which is a little area with playground equipment in the field behind the condos. They love it and will play out there for hours. It tickles me that even though Todd is getting older and gets somewhat annoyed at his siblings, he is still so great to play with them! We just enjoyed visiting, eating, and relaxing...all makings of a great vacation. After they left, Greg and I spent some time shopping at my favorite store, "Coldwater Creek". Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to me! I love that Greg will bring me clothes to try on and be patient for what seems like hours while I make up my mind. We also bought a couple of things for him for Christmas and did some Christmas shopping for the kids and others. He helped me finish a craft project one day as well. You know, he is just fun to "hang out" with. I love him to bits! We packed up Saturday morning and stopped in Idaho Falls to do a little shopping and go watch Regan play basketball. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of her. She looks so darn cute dribbling that ball down the court! I guess we were so intent on watching her and playing with the other kids, I forgot to get out my camera! Now that is a shock! Well, next time!
