Good and Bad

Yesterday was filled with both good and bad news. First the bad news. Carlo DiGrazia died yesterday. He is DeMitt's step-father, but really the only father that DeMitt has really ever known. He was such a kind hearted person. He truly wanted what was best for his family. He was always so kind to me, especially when things started turning sour with DeMitt and I. I know everyone is going to miss him.

This is at Christmas two years ago. We are all getting ready to open gifts. This isn't a great pic of Carl, but its the only one I can find.

Things I remember about Carlo:

• His comments he makes while driving his Caddi
• His War References
• Trips to Jewel
• "Wears my John McCain T-shirt (this was said after everyone was given a Barack Obama T-shirt for Christmas.
• Beer Cooler (he called it a beer cooler, Annie would get mad at him because it had other drinks in there too. "Carl, it's a cooler, not a beer cooler)
• "No Worries, we don't have any video camera's down stairs." (DeMitt knows this one)
• Birthday cakes and ice cream for everyone's birthday.
• The Pub
• Great food
• The love he had for all his kids and grandkids.

We will miss you Carlo!

Deer Valley--The good part of the day

Mom skiing

Me trying to capture the slopes and the pretty day, but really I couldn't see what I was taking a picture of.

This is mom telling me that I need a pic of myself. She took it.

Yesterday I had a great day skiing up at Deer Valley with my mom. We had a great time and it was even better cause it was free!!! We were able to score some free ski tickets. It was the perfect day because we had just got a new patch of snow the day before and it was so pretty and sunny yesterday. (even though the pictures don't show it. It was a fantastic day)
