A quick look back at Christmas. Ava looks like one of the Price is Right girls presenting her brother here.
Oh, my pretty girl with the twinkly Christmas lights...
Gabe wanted a mohawk in the worse way. When he got his haircut before Christmas, Darcy kept agreeing that she'd give him one. Meanwhile I'm standing behind him shaking my head at her - no way! She cut it so he could get it to stand up with a lot of product. He was a little disappointed that it wasn't a "real mohawk". Bless Darcy's heart for convincing him it was a unique kind of mohawk and he needed to own it.
Hmm...peace dude or rabbit ears???
We went skiing, cross country and downhill, a lot this winter. We took the kids to Giants Ridge and Powder Horn along wih the local hills. They did great! Ava joined me on a few jaunts at Korkki Nordic on the skinny skis. The girl has some natural ability and real potential. I'm looking forward to having her as a ski partner. Gabe took snowboard lessons. I have a feeling he'll be pushing to do more of that next year. Our last outdoor winter adventure was sledding a few weeks ago with the Meneghini's. We had fun! Well right up until the point that Carla had a major wipeout that is. I didn't get a picture of her taking the jump on a saucer. Trust me, she had some major air going.
Paul and Kasey cruising.
Look how cute Carson is...
Just as cute upsidedown!
I have about 100 pictures of Joe with various kids piled onto one sled. They have the same expression in every single picture. Love it :)
That's enough about winter. On to spring!!!
As I was sitting here working on this, I looked out the window and saw the kids on their bikes. My camera was right there. How could I not go snap a few pictures to capture these gorgeous kids enjoying another beautiful early spring day (thank you Mother Nature!) .
Living in the country in the spring means mud boots. Ava can make them work with any outfit. Pre-ride warm up?
I still remember coaxing Gabe to ride a bike. When did he grow up?
She actually considered asking for training wheels back, but then she decided to see if she could remember how to ride first. Good choice, A.
I'm happy it's spring. I can't wait for summer. Now it's my turn to go enjoy the day!
