Spring Boarding

 My girls were lucky this enough this spring to get to go boarding with their Uncle Val and Uncle Eric.  Due to a few injuries in the family...Neither Chad, Faren, nor I could go with them...DANG!  Thanks a ton to Uncle Eric for capturing these awesome photos!

Eric was pushing them to try new things....like jumps. This is Haddi.

Sicilee getting ready....

Sicilee...

she's kind of camouflaged...

They had a great time with their uncles.

Val told me that his payment for putting up with them all day was another pass for next year...maybe it wasn't all that bad... :)

My girls had a great time getting to know their uncle Eric who is moving to Driggs this summer.  I hope this is the first of many ski trips for them.

Here are some links to some cool videos of them on youtube...

My Awesome Birthday!

 

 My girls knew this is what I would go for first thing in the morning.

Next to the frig for milk.

Indee is such a sweetheart.  I loved finding my little notes all over the house.

Chad and Faren took off a half of day of work to take me to the sand dunes.  All my favorite people came to help me celebrate.  IT WAS AWESOME!  The conditions were perfect.  It had rained the few days prior so the sand was hard and packed.  I LOVE, LOVED IT!  I COULDN'T WIPE THE SMILE OFF MY FACE!

then.....

Jan broke her leg....

(sad face)

Here are some of my battle wounds.

When my kids aren't on with me, I tend to go a little too fast.

Can you tell which thumb is a little jammed?

When we returned home, my great girls had baked me a cake...or should I say tried to bake me a cake.  Sicilee was in charge of this endeavor (we all know what this means).  The good intentions were there, but the end product....well....

Sis's poem to explain...

Instead of wasting the frosting on the gooey cake, they saved it and made delicious graham crackers!  My favorite!

What a thoughtful bunch of girls I have!

Thanks!  My birthday was awesome!

Easter, etc...

You would never know that it was a blizzard outside and that the roads were closed.  We were pretending that it was spring.

 I don't think you're ever too old to color eggs.  It's so fun.

Our works of art.

Hunting eggs at Grandma's....

And at our house...

It was also Sicilee's birthday.  Happy Tu-Tu Sicilee.

She's 13!  AAhhhhhhh!!

After...

This is what she wanted for her birthday...

A hair cut.

Thanks Darc.
