Skiing with friends

Skiing with your family is great and we are lucky this season to have been able to go a few times. The girls are getting so much better. Savannah thinks she is ready to ski all by herself. We even let her go on the bunny lift a few times by herself. Today we were able to go skiing with the Whitings. Savannah had so much fun skiing with Hugh. She would follow him around everywhere. She even started skiing backwards to make sure he was going right way.  Brittlynn has figured out how to make it down the bunny hill all by herself. Now we just need to her to figure out how to go back and forth to slow herself down. 

Daddy was even able to ski some of the big hills with one of his friends. It was a perfect day to be skiing and it was better to enjoy the day with friends.

Happy Birthday Eric

Another year older and wiser too...Happy Birthday to you. Yes, it is the special day we celebrate Eric. The girls were so excited to be able to give their daddy their presents, they couldn't wait until the next morning so they surprised him with them the night before. When it comes to their daddy they know the way to his heart is running and football. So they gave him a little of both. For his birthday we had cake and spent the day at the park. This last year a lot has happened for Eric. It will be interesting to see what this new year brings and what new adventures you will overcome.

Skiing, it's what we do!

When we have a time we choose to ski together as a family. Really this is what daddy wants to do for his birthday so we are going skiing. This time we went to Bogus. Savannah mastered the bunny slopes and had so much fun. Brittlynn did a lot better, but she quickly lost interest and decided that climbing up the snow hill and digging a whole would be so much better. So Eric and Savannah spent most of the day on the slopes together and Brittlynn and I played. I am so glad we have found something we love doing as a family. I hope it last forever.

A New Year

To start the year off it is all about Daddy and how do we love this guy. The girls can't get enough of him. Every free minute he has they want to spend with him. He loves that they love to snuggle him and spend time with him.  You can often find him reading with the girls, jumping on the trampoline and laughing with them. 

As we learn and grow as a family we realize that we need to spend as much time together before we no longer have that time. So we read, walk, jump, laugh, play and watch movies. If you want to have a family that last for ever you have to make time for the now. It will be interesting to see where this year will take us with so much change within our family. Eric will be retiring, we need to find a place to call home, he needs to find a career....and I will end up giving up something I love. To a new year spent together as a family.
