Best Day...

I've had the pleasure of teaching our boys how to ski this season, what a joy it's been to see them succeed and get to share in that memory with them! I don't have time to write much more, but I had several "moments" of such peace on the mountain with them: riding the chairlift and having little conversations in the quiet & nature, watching them independently ski down the mountain, and seeing such joy on their faces at their successes. I can't wait until Andrew can join us next year and skiing becomes what we do on the weekends! I'm glad they've had this experience now this year to where they'll know what they're doing for next year. What an awesome family sport!

Skiing is much more fun with friends!
Papa came with us the second time, what a nice time to have with my Dad!
We seriously had the best weather…skied in short sleeves the whole day! Made quite the fashion statement too…not! I wasn't planning on having to take my jacket off! lol.

Christmas Round 2


We had several Christmas celebrations this year, starting off on Christmas Eve morning with our family Christmas, which I realized today I didn't take any pictures of. Oh well! We had a special time as a family blessing eachother, which was great! Then that afternoon and evening we had Christmas with my parents, sisters, and grandparents! We had a nice dinner and Christmas together. Then we woke up early and boarded a plane for New Hampshire! I'll post some pictures of our trip later, but we had a great time with everyone!

Best Toy Ever...

My sister, Hannah, took the boys to OMSI a few weeks ago and they came home with a special toy each. It's no secret my boys are dinosaur obsessed, and know way too much about them. When we go to the library all want is dinosaur books, so I think right now I have over 20 different ones! Noah especially listens and remembers all these crazy facts! He can name way more dinosaurs then I can…he's crazy! So, what they picked out was dinosaur fossils "buried" in a rock. It took them hours to dig out their dinosaurs, but they were into it the whole time! Jakey had a Parasourolophus and Noah had T-Rex bones that then needed to be assembled, how fun it was for them!

Reading...

I have been SO into reading lately…can reading be a hobby? The Glass Castle and Her Mother's Hope were the two books I've read in the last week, both were great. I really haven't come across any books that I haven't enjoyed, and I am SO thankful for the library! I'm also reading The Help and am super excited to get down to the library either tomorrow after work or Wednesday to pick up Her Daughter's Dream & Kisses From Katie. What are you reading? I love suggestions!
