Construction zone!!

Bring it on!!!

Summer can't come soon enough for me. I am so excited to get back out to last chance again. We took a drive out there yesterday to see the homes that are being built. There are two under construction right now, and one that will start any day.

Here is the front gate: There will be wood and rock all around it.

Enough said..... WOW!

Picture someone skiing by with a great big rooster tail to the sky...right out the kitchen window!

I'll be the skiier.... you can be the one cooking dinner!

All the docks are being built...everyone will have their own dock this year

Last Chance is my HAPPY PLACE. When we drove up and saw these houses under construction, Rick and I couldn't believe how our "little dream" has turned into REALITY. Rick has worked soooooo hard to make this happen. I don't know anyone who can juggle so many projects at once. Rick is amazing.... he has created a place for families to make memories of a life time. I know this project was meant to be and we already have so many fun memories.. and many more to come:)

Skiing

I am so happy today! My amazing, wonderful, loving husband took all three kids skiing AGAIN by himself. It's a lot of work to load three kids up and hit the slopes. He does it because that's just the kind of guy he is. The kids were so excited this morning as they all got ready to go. I wish more than anything I could have gone with them. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying the peace and quiet here all day long on a Saturday. I got my run in, cleaned the whole house, organized closets, made cookies, and now I even have time to blog. When does all of this happen, uninterrupted...NEVER.
But, I promise, I would much rather be there skiing with my family. The doctor doesn't want me skiing yet until the fusion is more solid. I miss the cold crisp air in the mountains. I miss the chairlifts, the feeling of cruising down the mountain as the snow crunches under my skis. I miss dropping into a steep bowl of powder, or traversing over to find the "good" snow. I miss the adreneline rush of my body turning over and over until my legs can't take anymore. I miss hearing my kids giggle and seeing the smiles on their faces when they conquer the mountain. I miss getting hot chocolate in the lodge and my kids rosy cheeks and noses. I miss the feeling of total exhaustion of a full day of skiing. I will be back next year to experience all of this, and that is why I am so happy. I am so grateful I WILL be able to ski again....more grateful than words will ever be able to express.

Here are the loves of my life...Rick sends pictures while they are there.

Thank you Rick for being such an amazing dad....these kids will never forget these memories. Look at all they have learned from you this year...they are all skiing so great.
I guess I will just go enjoy the rest of my quiet day because pretty soon they will all be home excited to give me a play by play of the day.... and then the quiet will end. LOL
