Emblazoned

Emblazoned will forever be emblazoned in Julia's memory...that is the mighty word that knocked her out of today's school Spelling Bee at a respectable 5th place.  She did a great job & had some hearty words to reckon with...she got a lot farther than I would have!!!  I would have been out at obsidian which she spelled correctly a few words earlier.  Great Job Julia!!!

Julia's ski day!

Wind+snow+Bronco home playoff game=empty slopes & one nice ski day! 
Thanks for taking Julia to practice her skills, Karen & Mark!
