Hot New PJ Model

Brian decided to try on Trey's new PJ's. I don't know about you but I think they they fit.

X-mas Came Early

After skiing we came home to find a note from one of Santa's elves. The note read that Christmas would come a day early early! What a relief, I thought we would have to do Christmas at three in the morning before catching a plane to Texas!

Too Cold to Ski.....Never!

Well, for the three boys but not Fallon! She started feeling really good about skiing and stared flying down the mountain.

It's been a while, I know!

I blog now to repent. I just added six, yes six, new posts tonight. So check them out! Love all of you. : ) Goodnight!

First day of the season!

This is the first time Logan and Carson have been skiing. We don't really count the times we shoved Carson down the side of the neighborhood. They both did so well. Carson is more concerned with flying down the mountain than actual learning how to ski (turning, stopping, looking...). Logan is meticulous when he skis. His diligence has payed off, he gracefully glides down the slopes with few falls and total control. Trey is a maniac! He passes the rest of the kids 3-4 times on the same run,however one time Logan and I passed over him on the chair lift and he did not quite stick the landing after a jump and it looked like a yard sale on the mountain! Fallon found a friend and raced down the run with her for hours. We were really worried about her because last year she didn't want to ski and now she is totally into it, she asked today if she could snowboard! All in all I think everyone had a exceptional day!

Dog Sleding at School

Logan and Carson's classes got to go on sled rides for recess on Friday. They had so much fun.

Funny Logan

Logan insisted that if I do his hair before school that I give him a mohawk and take his picture. As usual he keeps us laughing.

Turkey, Sides and Scaffolding...

Need I say more?

Trey with Joseph Silverstein!

Silverstein came to the U to give a master class to some local violinists and a cellist. Trey loved it! Silverstein has a wonderful sense of humor. If you don't know who Silverstein is he is one of the most celebrated concertmasters in history. What a treat it was for us to learn from him.

Logan & Carson turn 6!

Logan and Carson had their birthday at Discovery Kids in Salt Lake this year. The kids and John had the best time. Logan was so excited when he walked into the kid size house and discovered a mouse hole. He got on his tummy and started calling "Jerry, come out". Carson loved the farm and the rock climbing wall. He has no fear of heights.
