Jack The Skier

I'm always nervous to see Jack get off the bus after the ski races. I had watched him race and knew he had won his heat but didn't know how he did overall. So when I saw the huge grin on his face I knew all was well. And I was relieved I didn't have to repeat the "winning isn't everything" as "long as you had fun" lecture from that morning. He placed 1st in the 3rd grade boys! But I didn't get it recorded! I had the camera on the wrong setting so all I got was one good picture. But- Great job Jack, we're proud of you!

One Year Old

How time flies! Teague is a sweet, loveable, BUSY, kid! He really is so happy and pleasant and always giving hugs and did I mention BUSY?! We just adore him! Enjoy these pictures from his birthday. The boys insisted Teague wanted to go bowling or go to a movie for his big day. Since Teague wouldn't tell us which he preferred and I refuse to go to a movie theatre with a one year old we bowled. First thing Jonas did when he woke up that morning was make party hats. I think he did an awesome job. He even made one for the cat.

Travel Trivia

Vacations are a rare thing once you have kids. Vacations without the kids are even rarer, in fact, a trip to Vegas for our 5th anniversary is the only vacation Delwyn and I have ever taken. So for our 10th anniversary we really want to go all out and I've been scouring the Internet for a good deal. But vacations are expensive. Airfare is a killer! So after this realization (and the recent negative 30 and beyond weather) I have renewed my devotion to the one and only Regis Philbin. I admit after losing my could-be vacation to Hawaii last spring I haven't been an avid watcher. But that ends today. I've got till May to plan a trip and Regis is the way, at least the free way. My on-air release has been signed & delivered. The DVR set. My game plan improved and a new "winter-themed" picture of myself taken. I'll confess this picture took me 15 minutes to set up with multiple angles and poses. Nothing says dorky like taking pictures of yourself on a Tuesday morning. But when I'm sipping virgin pina coladas on a beach somewhere I think I'll stop caring.

I WILL PREVAIL!
