To Blog or not to Blog!?!

Should I give this another go? Although my first attempt was somewhat pathetic, we'll try again. I could say that the last couple years there has been nothing great to "blog about" but although it's true it has been rough for our family, there has been plenty of good, growing moments for us. There are lots of things that have happened that I wish I would have documented and written about. I'll try to keep my blog positive (hard for me) and not to braggy (hard too I am a mom).

Last Monday was Presidents day so we were all off school and work, so we decided to go skiing at Snow Summit. Jeff has recertified in ski patrol so for the past two seasons our family has enjoyed season passes. The kids have also enjoyed free lessons. Last Monday when we went up Jeff didn't have to patrol so we all skied together. It was a pretty amazing experience for me. It was such a beautiful day with sunny skies and fresh snow. It was a great family day filled with fun, laughter, fighting, teasing and whining. I am so thankful that Jeff works so hard so that we are able to enjoy this family time together. All of the kids have picked up skiing nicely - they must have gotten that from Jeff.


our ski family (minus Evan)


Evan - loves to ski in the trees and is getting pretty good!!


Amy works hard & has fun & helpful!!


Hannah - little ski bunny- she's a natural!!


Grant - little Speedy.


I don't mean to brag(already) but Jeff is such a stud on Skies.



Hopefully blogging will help me get some better photos:) I'm really glad that we are able to do this as a family and create memories for the kids. I do have to say I'm proud of myself for getting up there. It isn't my favorite thing to do and it is so much work with all the kids, but I'm actually getting better. I can keep up with the kids, for now anyway.
