Our snowy Valentines Day!

We had so much fun this year on valentines day. We decided to go as a family skiing. I grew up skiing and I have so many childhood memories skiing with my family.I have been pushing to get them all skiing so we wouldn't have to get babysitters anymore. And this was the first time that we all were able to go. Now when you see this next picture, I DO NOT want any calls from child protective services!!!

I know! I know! He is only three! I was just kidding about pushing to get them all skiing. But he REALLY wanted to go and he would have been ALONE on Valentines Day. So we took him. HE LOVED IT! And he really could ski!


Grandpa was so proud! Can you see the icicles on his moustache?


How many of your parent's still ski??!!! It is so fun for my kids to go skiing with their grandparents! I don't remember doing that with mine!:)


I wish I could have gotten all of them together for a picture but they were all over the hill. It was so fun!


I sure got a lot of comments about my crazy kids. Who like to go straight down the hill. Escpecially little M (a.k.a speed demon)! When we got in car E asked me, "what is a maniac?" I told him and asked where he heard that. He told us that someone told him that on the hill!:) It's a good thing they wear helmets!
And the best picture I should have taken was them ALL sleeping on the way home!

For dinner, we had scrumptious fondue. (Side note: Strawberry fondue recipes are just not the same as chocolate):)
It was fun but MESSY! I don't understand how come the kids can't understand "let it drip over the plate!" But we ate on the floor so it was okay!

  2. Russell took the boys up skiing on Saturday as well. They had a great day. So to reply to your comment on my blog--we aren't really leaving you in the dust because Hattie was only #4 for us. So Logan is #5 and this new baby will be #6--so you are not too far in the dust!! WE are just excited to get the rest of the family here!!

  5. O.K. so I'm sitting here trying not to be jealous and it's not working. Putting that aside, it is so great that you guys get to go skiing as a family and with your parents. Brandon has always wanted a skiing family, but I've let him know that in order to become a skiing family, he needs to actually take us skiing. We'll just have to wait and see what happens with that. Happy Belated Valentine's Day!
