more snow!

our kids

they fight, bicker, and argue.

they tease, provoke, and annoy.

they push, pull and sometimes even hit.

but when it comes down to it they are great, great friends.

so.very. thankful for that.

life in january

january has been hard.  lots of sickness.  lots of children’s tylenol.  lots of searching for things lost in the move.  lots of cold, cold, cold days.  BUT, we have gotten to ride, and that is worth writing about.

eli had his first ski lesson last week and LOVES it.  right now he’s in intermediate lessons but has already asked for the “tricks” class.  i’m thinking there is not an actual “tricks” class, but haven’t broken that to him yet. 

he was in the same class as his friend, alexis, which made it all the more fun.

after the lesson we’ve been riding with some  of his friends who are taking snowboarding lessons.  it is SO FUN to watch these little people take the hill…

while eli was in class, lyla and i rode the snow off the bunny hill…

lovin’ the snow
