Dishwasher Down

Well, I tried to shut the door of the dishwasher one too many times when the wheel fell off. I broke the door. We made the decision to upgrade our 15 year old dishwasher. We ordered the new one on February 24th. Right now we are awaiting delivery and installation on April 18th. Maybe we should try an fix the old one instead??? Happy Hand Washing!

Proud Of This Kiddo

The Championships Continue!

Super Bowl Sunday under the lights in Texas. Noah's team finished the season undefeated, and easily won their super bowl game. It was a fun season with old friends and new. I love watching this kid play football. He is my Defensive MVP!

Family Fun On The Farm

33 people we love and 3 dogs

 After a crazy morning of basketball, we hit the road, again, and headed to the Migl Farm in Flatonia, TX. It was a beautiful day for the Brehm Family Spring Christmas Fling. The kids loved playing with their cousins, playing in the hay barn, shooting skeet, and of course, there's always yummy food!

 

I love my family so very much. Special memories made when we all get together.

We Are The Champions!

 LoJo brought the mojo to two close, hard-fought, crazy basketball games to win the championship for Winter 2017! They grew as a team this season, played hard, and finished the season undefeated!

 Way to go Cavs!

It's been a fun and awesome season!

Logan with his buddies, Caleb and Connor.

Someone's Ready For Us To Come Home!

Sun's Up, Guns Up!

 Waiting for big brother......

 Cuties on the lift.

 Snowball fights at every stop.

 One of our favorite blue runs - Upper Hades

 But when blue runs just won't cut it for Matilyn, what do you do?

Why, Pandemonium, Of Course!

 Cutest Snow Bunny on the mountain. That's Pandemonium behind her. Yeah, she did that.

It's A Gorgeous Day In Purgatory!

 I spy Mattie and Logan on the lift!

 Wipeout! Don't worry, he got up and walked away. He said some wipeouts hurt and some are fun....that one was fun!

 Breathtaking!

Isn't God Awesome?!?!

This momma's must-haves in the mountains.

Today we were doing so great and made it to the shuttle by 8:30......without the lunch I had gotten up early to pack. And the shuttle driver wouldn't let me take 1 minute to go back to the condo to get it. Ugh.

Purgatory Fun - Day One!

 Snow Much Fun!

 Our SnowSports School Rock Stars with their instructor, Storm.

 First family ride up the lift!

 One day of ski school was all it took. We spent the rest of the trip chasing them down the mountain!

 Mattie was desperate to sled. We weren't too sure how deep the "sledding hill" was, so she made her own sled paths.

 Our condo is the farthest one on the end of the right row of condos.

 This is joy.

So this is probably the place to document that no Cothern trip would be complete without it's share of bumps and hiccups. This morning started with a 20 minute search for the lift tickets and ski school passes. Then, we couldn't get the car up the sheet of ice on the driveway. Then we had just missed the 9:00 shuttle. The next shuttle wasn't until 9:30. The kids were supposed to report for ski school no later than 9:30. Thankfully Matt tried one more time to get the car out. Success! We all piled in and made the drive over to DMR, and made it to ski school on time! Phew. That was work. We had an awesome day on the mountain, retrieved our car, and Noah discovered that his brand new goggles had fallen off of his helmet somewhere. Seriously??? Hallelujah, someone had just turned them in to Guest Services. Lucky boy. Back at the condo, heading down the hill into the garage area, we slid sideways into the snow bank! Rock pillar just ahead. Matt turned the wheel, let off the break, and we prayed to miss the pillar as we slid the rest of the way into the garage. Tomorrow we will take the 8:30 shuttle.
