Grandma Alvino

Grandma Alvino passed away early yesterday morning. She was 94 years old.

What do I remember about Grandma Alvino...

We would go over to her house every Sunday after church and she would make us one of 2 things - either roasted chicken or pasta. She always had a separate table set up in the living room for Anthony so he wouldn't miss any of the Broncos games.

She would always have a box of fruit roll-ups (strawberry of course) for us and we would always finish the whole box.

When it was hot outside we would all throw on our swimsuits and head to the pool.

She would sit us in her kitchen and cut our hair (she did a very good job!!!)

When we spent the weekend with her we always rode the bus to the Aurora Mall on Saturday and eat at Chik-Fil-A

Those are just a few of my favorite memories, but there were a lot more. she was really involved in our lives and she will be dearly missed!!!

We love you Grandma!!!

Stock Show







Jared loves the Stock Show. And I must say I had a blast this past Saturday when we went. Things tend to be a little more fun when you get to share them with your kids. Anyway, here are a few pictures us. You can't see them in the pictures but Aunt Abby and Grandma Becky went along with us.

Madalyn's First Christmas


Just some cute pictures we had done...

Every Christmas before we open presents we read the Christmas story. Madalyn is listening very closely.


Her present was to big for Santa to wrap :)



Santa brought her the exersaucers of all exersaucers. This will keep her busy for hours. Thanks Santa!!!
We hope you all had a great holiday season and are looking forward to a blessed 2009!!!
