The Pilot Point Experience

So one of the biggest blessings about being in DFW is while we are building our home in McKinney we are living in Pilot Point with Emily's Grandma. It has been so much fun... late nights watching American Idol, laughing our butts off with Grandma, going for walks, and Denver getting to play with all the neighborhood dogs. It has been great being right down the street from Emily's family and for Hudson to get to be around his Nanna. It is going to be bitter sweet moving into our house in July.





All this play has definitely worn Hudson out!

Spring Break in Colorado!



This year we packed up and went to Crested Butte, CO for Spring Break. It was awesome. We got to ski in 45 degree weather. Emily's parents rented a ski-in/ski-out condo. It was us, Emily's parents, her sisters, Jacob and Caroline. It was a blast. We skied 3 days. It was Emily and I's first time to ski together because last year Emily didn't get to ski because she was prego with little man. It was Hannah's first time to ski, and she did amazing. The skiing was great but the evenings were great to due to Jacob bringing "Zombie Dice" and some flinging poo card game. They were the types of games that just make you laugh the entire time.




Now It was definitely an interesting experience getting to and from Colorado. So we originally bought the airline tickets last fall while we still thought we were going to be living in Houston. So challenge 1 was getting the tickets switched to leaving out of DFW (yea definitely paid an arm and a leg for that switch). Then on the way home we get to the airport and check in when over the intercom it is announced that our United flight from Gunison to Denver was cancelled. So along with everyone else on that flight we stood in line to get everything switched. In stead of waiting and hoping I walked over to the American Airlines ticket line and used miles to buy a ticket to get home, then went back over to United and they reimbursed us for the tickets (which we are still waiting for that money to hit our account). So when it was all said and done we got home an hour earlier then we originally planned.
