The Veres Family's Extra Innings

Too busy to BLOG!!

2010-06-09T13:32:00.002-06:00

OK, my last blog entry was a year ago and I didn't even finish that one. I meant to put a lot more pictures of our trip but never got around to it. Thank you to all my friends and family that keep up with blogging because I love to get on and look at what everyone is doing. I will try to do better.

RV trip to South Dakota

2009-11-23T13:19:00.003-07:00

Our trip began with Ty slamming his thumb in the door so we were delayed about an hour. He was in alot of pain most of the trip. Just about all our pictures you'll see his thumb in the air . We pulled the trailer full of our 4-wheelers so we could do some trail riding . The campground we stayed at had just about everything you could think of to do, we all had a blast.

Summer 2009

2009-11-23T13:09:00.002-07:00

Ok, I know I'm so behind on updating my blog . I've been chastised by just about everyone. I'll do my best to get caught up. Here is an over view of some fun over the Summer.

Easter bouquets

2009-04-10T15:03:00.002-06:00

I saw these on my friends blog and thought they were the cutest things ever. We made them for the kids teachers too. Thank for the great idea DeeAnn you were always so crafty.

Our Little Baker

2009-03-29T19:43:00.004-06:00

While we we were cooped up in the house during the blizzard, Tavin decided he wanted to bake a cake. He did it all by himself with hardly any help. We didn't have anything to celebrate except the snow, so here's to the SNOW hip, hip, hooray!!

Spring Break

2009-03-29T19:02:00.007-06:00

Tavin Mr. Muscles!

Sweethearts!

Dave and the boys
My sweet girl is growing way to fast.

The morning after the blizzard

Well, Spring Break has come and gone. We had fun just hanging out with the kids and doing whatever we felt like that day. We went hiking, movies, road our four wheelers, played outside in the beautiful sunshine and worked on our tans. That is until the blizzard hit the second half of the week. Then we shoveled snow for two days and pulled the kids through the snow with the quads. All in all we had a great time and am looking forward to the Summer.

Ty's Valentine

Happy Valentines Day!!

Terryn turns 12

2009-02-18T20:18:00.007-07:00

My little girl is all grown up and is in YW now. Time has sure gone by in a flash. It seems just like yesterday when I could hold her in one arm and cuddle up in the rocking chair, or put you to bed with all 5 binkies . I am so thankful the lord blessed our family with such a beautiful spirit. Terryn you make us laugh daily and you are such a good example for your brothers. We all love you, Sissy, T-Bear, Sugarbuns, Bugs, Precious.

Four wheeling family time

2009-02-18T19:06:00.009-07:00

The kids had a long weekend so we packed up and went to Kansas for a few days. The weather was great for January.

R&R in the mountains

2009-02-18T18:12:00.011-07:00

At the Continental Divide
12'500 ft, Jennifer was seeing stars.

The clouds broke for about 5 sec. ,

we could tell the view was amazing.

We stopped at this cabin for some hot chocolate.

Fresh powder about 4'

After the holidays, Dave and I went with some friends to Breckenridge for a few days. NO KIDS , NO PETS, NO HOMEWORK, NO LUNCHES TO BE MADE, NO SPORTS, Just a little r&r.We skied, had a massage,went out for a nice dinner and got lost snowmobiling, well not really lost just stuck a lot, which made us late and miss our shuttle back into town.

New Years Eve

2009-02-17T23:49:00.009-07:00

Our New Years Eve, family tradition is to bundle up and lace up the skates . We skate the lake in Evergreen, Co. This year we just about got blown to the other side of the lake. It was so windy we lost our bag with our hot chocolate in it, good thing it wasn't one of the kids.

Quading with friends

2009-02-01T14:55:00.007-07:00

A couple days after Christmas we took the kids and went with some friends down to southern Colorado and road quads for a few days. It was great weather and the kids had a blast. Oh and so did Mom and Dad.

Christmas 2008

2009-01-12T22:30:00.016-07:00

Christmas has come and gone so fast. We always enjoy having the kids out of school and just hanging out with them. We played games, watched movies, made goodies for friends and neighbors, but most of all we had some quality time as a family.
We went to see the lights at the Denver Zoo, Burrr... it was cold!

Looking for Mr. Pickle... They looked HIGH...

and LOW...

After 25 min. of searching Terryn was the champ!!

Tris got a visit from Santa and the Tooth Fairy this year.

Christmas Eve dinner

Welcome to the Gun Show!!

11:00 the kids finally went to bed and Mom and Dad started wrapping. 5:30 we finished placing the last present by the tree and then we passed out.

We woke up to the sound of pitter-patter and giggles at 6:30. Santa filled the kids slippers with goodies and left their presents by their door, so we talked them into letting us sleep for 30 more min. Thanks kids!!!

Ty was so excited.

What a crazy bunch!!

Terryn checking out her I-Pod touch

Tav being a goof..

Tris finally got his own PSP.

We don't call 911 !!!

Tavin had to posed by all his presents, what a cutie.

Juicy, Juicy, Juicy...

Tris got a Pro Wheelie. I don't have to come running

to the TV anymore to see what he wants.

I hope the DS will keep him busy for a while.

Cool jacket dude!

climbing the walls

2008-12-22T01:07:00.002-07:00

Oh MY Gosh!!!!! it's not even Christmas break and the kids are already climbing the walls.

Let it snow......

2008-12-22T00:54:00.003-07:00

We finally got a little bit of snow, just enough for the kids to go sledding and for Dave to plow the driveway. This year he has a little buddy to help him. The next day or so Dad built the kids a snow man to welcome them home from school. Frosty looked so good he almost looked fake.

2008-12-21T23:57:00.006-07:00

Tavin and Ty both have birthdays in December. Tavin turned 5 and Ty turned 10. Where does the time go? My babies are growing up. They are both great kids and we thank the lord every day for blessing our family with their sweet spirits. Tav is into everything especially his brothers things. He still is my little SNUGGLE PUPPY and we sing that song just about every day to each other. If I have made him upset he tells me that he won't EVER sing me that song again or he tells me that he isn't my snuggle puppy anymore. That lasts about, oh a half hour then I'll hear him in the other room singing it.

Ty is going to be the next Travis Pastrana, he loves to ride his dirt bike and is always trying to break his record for the longest jump. I'll find him and his brothers in the back yard putting more dirt on the ramp to make it bigger. Sometimes I just have to go inside and not watch.

This year he took 3 of his friends and Tris snowboarding for his birthday they had a blast.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS we all love you both very much.

Tavin's school christmas program

2008-12-21T23:32:00.004-07:00

Tavin's class sang along to the music of Alvin and The Chipmunks. I wish I had recorded it because it was hilarious and as you can see the kids thought it was pretty funny themselves. Leave it to Tavin to be the biggest clown of them all. He makes us laugh every day.

Decorating for the holidays

2008-12-14T01:51:00.007-07:00

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care and the decorations are everywhere. The kids decorated the tree and placed all their favorite ornaments right up front. We only had to move a few in fear that the tree would fall over. Mr. Pickle was hung by Tavin this year. We will hide him on Christmas Eve, I wonder who will be the lucky one to find him this year. The house feels so cozy and warm this time of year with all the decorations out and the smell of pine through the house. School is out this Friday so we will be busy baking and wrapping presents and getting last minute shopping done.

Thanksgiving

2008-12-08T23:16:00.002-07:00

Our good friends had us over this year. I guess they felt bad for us since we don't make a big deal of it unless we have family in town. Last year we ordered the whole meal from Boston Market. I was pretty upset when I found out that both locations had closed down. Thanks to John and Jennifer we ate way too much and had a great time. After dinner we usually go to a movie but this year we all left the kids at home and went to the Nuggets game. The best part of the whole day was waking up in the morning to find a note from my son on my pillow. Ty, I love you so much, you are such a blessing to this family. You are always helping your brothers and sister do things and you hardly ever complain. Every day I thank the Lord for blessing me with such a beautiful family,with there own special and unique spirits. I am also grateful for my best friend and husband, for all that he does for me and our family. I love you all!!!!

Field trip to the Denver Aquarium

2008-12-08T21:15:00.005-07:00

Tris has been studying marine biology in school this quarter. They have studied all kinds of fish, what they eat and where they live. The 1st grade team ended the quarter with a field trip to The Denver Aquarium. Tris had to research and do a report about a Sheepshead, and present it to his class on the field trip. FYI a Sheepshead is a fish. Dave and I took Tavin and met him there, we all had fun.

AC/DC BLACK ICE TOUR

2008-12-01T23:12:00.004-07:00

Well, I've waited 8 years for my favorite group to go on tour again. I saw them in St.Louis in 2000 while Dave was playing for the Cardinals. They ROCKED then and are still going strong today. They put on quite a show, Angus played non stop with an amazing solo. He may be old but he ROCKS!!!! A whole lot of ROSIE made an appearance but I've decided not to post here photo, SORRY! Dave and I had a great time, he took our boys Ty 9 and Tris 7 to Metallica last month so I guess we've had our fix of Rock-N-Roll for a while.

Halloween

2008-11-09T14:42:00.003-07:00

Halloween has come and gone. The weather has stayed nice, thank goodness. This was the first Halloween in years that the kids didn't need a coat. We had a great time at our party this year. We invite our friends and neighbors over every year for mummy dogs, chili, cornbread and goodies. We all get a full tummy and then the guys take the kids out Trick-or-Treating. The gals stay home and sit around a fire and hand out candy. I think we have the best part. I love to get the house decorated so it is always sad to take them down. However, I will be getting ready for Christmas in about 2 weeks, so I'm not too upset.

Fall break to Washington and Oregon

2008-11-07T13:47:00.000-07:00

The kids had a week off for Fall break, so we flew to home to Washington and Oregon . We visited with family and took in some of the beautiful scenery of the Great Northwest. We took the kids to see a real volcano, Mt. St. Helens. We walked around on the trails, watched a video of when it erupted in 1980 and got some great photos. I remember going outside and shoveling the ash off the driveway and having to wear masks when you wanted to go outside.

We also took in the Portland Zoo one day and then headed off to the coast the next day. The weather was great, so much that the boys stripped down to their boxers to run through the waves. After they were all numb and couldn't feel their toes we had to make a stop for salt water taffy and rock candy.

We loved being home and when the weather is nice we always think about moving back.That is until we get home to beautiful Colorado and I talk to my dad and he says" it has rained just about every day since we left". We all had so much fun together and with our loved ones we miss dearly. I love my family and all of their funny quirks and different personalities.
