Sick, is what I have been...

So I know some of you have been waiting for more pictures of Oliver and they will be in this post but I have not posted recently because I have now been sick twice in the span of 2.5 weeks. Yesterday I was running a fever of about 102. This also makes it 5 or 6 times in the last 2.5 months. My regular doctor believes it might be because of the accident last year and rattling the pituitary gland which controls essentially all endocrine functions, including the immune system.
Anyway here are more pictures as promised. Enjoy!

Okay, so this is not Oliver, but it is an "O" shape! Actually, this was my birthday cake and I know my grandmother, grandfather and father can appreciate what looks like madness to everyone else.

Okay so not all the pictures are Oliver.. But this is really pretty and pictures I took from Big MTN

More "snow ghosts"

Daddy rocked me to sleep at the show below.

Our friends Emily and Mike (not sure who the 3rd is on the right.) They also have a young boy and his name is Calvin. We ski with them when we can and they are very talented musically.

The "old man" getting out for a little hockey in Kalispell. It was pretty cool playing under the lights outside on a real rink with a bright moon. Thank you to Daniel J. Wiebe and Glacier Imagery

Don't try.... wait!

Actually do try this at home if you have the Globus E-stim unit and a trainer. Here are pictures from my indoor training session today, courtesy of my wife.

Speaking of....

Here is a video clip from last week of Oliver. It's not very long but hopefully it will brighten up your day like he brightens up ours.

Happy New Year! (REALLY LATE!)

My how time flies, the 17th of January already! We have been busy and there are pictures here to show it. My brother-in-law Matt and his wife Alison came to visit us for a week (1/4 - 1/11.) During that week we went downhill skiing, bowling, cross country skiing and spent a little time in Missoula, Montana.

Not all of the below pictures occurred during the trip that our family and friends were here. ENJOY!

Hi, nice to see you too!

GO BLUE!!
