Mike's Medical Pictures

This past year has been a little rough on Mike when it comes to anything medical. He lost his eyesight in April in his one eye, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in May, started his Copaxone treatment in June, and we've been on watch since.



The last month or so has been trying to make sure he is still doing ok. He gre a large bump on his tongue and we were worried it was bad, so he had to get it removed and tested. Thankfully it was not cancer or anything!

Then Mike went in to get his eyes checked and he had to get retested for his eyesight. Unfortunately, he needs glasses.


Dialated eyes. Poor Mike. Hopefully this is it!


Mundy's Gap...Her Revenge.

It had been almost a year since I had ridden Mundy's Gap. I was going to go out and ride it to see if I was ready for the El Paso Puzzler. Let's just say after this ride, I decided to opt out of the Puzzler this year.






Brent kicking my butt up the mountain.



Here I come!

Nice shot Mike!


Brent making his way towards the gap..



The winter was not good to me...let's hope next year I can ride the Puzzler!


P.S. Mike ended up doing the Puzzler and made it the wholse 35 miles without flatting! He did have a major spill and hit his helmet...luckily the helmet saved him!











New Years Eve Riding

Before the Schramms and Hooblers took off back to Arizona...we took a little ride on A Mountain!




The whole crew..


Coming up the trail...

The other side of A Mountain.

Mike going downhill on the hardest part of A Mountain!













Snowboarding With The Boys

Back in January, Mike took a day off to go with the boys snowboarding in Ruidoso.


Silliness on the lift.

Bad luck to Brad...not a few hours in and he busted his shoulder!

Christmas Decorations

I took some pictures of the decorations around the house and forgot to post them! (It's also good for me to post them so I remember how to set up things for next year.)


The living room..

Barney's new stocking..
My Christmas village getting bigger..thanks mom!



Gingerbread house...it was so hard to make!



The tree I bought when Mike and I were dating..



So sad to put everything away!

Christmas Vacation 2011

Well, another successful Christmas is down in the books. These are a little out of order, but here we go!


Christmas Eve Eve with Barney. We ate corn beef and cabbage (I have this new obsession with cooking with the crockpot) and then went for a little bike ride.


Christmas Eve Dinner. Actually, more like Christmas Eve lunch. Mike had to work that night, which really stunk, so we had it a little earlier. I made the reindeer bottles courtesy of Jen and Pinterest.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.



Barney's Christmas present.



Mike with the Christmas tree. We need one more person in the house to take our picture.

My favorite gift to give this year. Mike didn't know he was getting these Smith Optic Sunglasses. He was so happy. He said his Christmas was complete.


We surprised Sue with a new TV. She loved it. It was cute on Christmas Eve when she sat down and read to us Christmas stories and then read out of the scriptures. It helped me be less homesick.


Oh yes, and we got some major snow! White Christmas engaged!




P.S. Notice that I put a lot of pictures of Mike on here because he told me that basically it should just be my blog because I seem to only post pictures of me. So here we are Mike. Hope this works! :)
