Kiddos

Kyle is growing so fast, sorry I haven't updated this blog for a while. I love the picture of him in the car seat, poor kid. At least four times a day he goes in and out of this thing, I think it just goes along with being the youngest of three.

Timberline Lodge

The back of the hotel.

We arrived during a snow storm, so Sheldon didn't get to go night skiing... instead he went swimming.

We went up to Timberline Lodge last weekend for the first time. My sister met us up there and she took Sheldon snowboarding. I really didn't take very many pictures...sorry Matt. This is the hotel that is from the movie The Shinning. I wanted to find the shot of the hotel on youtube, where they pull up to the hotel...but searching for clips of The Shinning turned out to be not very fun.

The Fancy Nancy Tea Party

Becky invited Taylor over for a tea party.

She spoiled Taylor with all of her favorite things.

She had a lovely time.

I guess at some point during the tea party Taylor decided that the hostess was wearing a better dress (yes, Becky answered the door in this) and Becky graciously let Taylor borrow her dress....what a great party!

Photographer

Taylor loves to take pictures, she is so funny! I just realized that she has loaded down my camera with tons of pictures.

Boardin'

This was a serious conversation I overheard in the car today between two five year olds.

Friend: "Yea I like to ski, but its really hard and I have to go slow."
Taylor: "Well I know how to snowboard and it is awesome. You just point your board where you want to go and you go really fast, snowboarding is the best."
Friend: "Well, my brother and my sister know how to go sandboarding. You take your board in some sand and ride down the hill."
Taylor: "Well I really like Stairboarding"
Friend: "stairboarding whats that?"
Taylor: "Oh... you just take your board to the top of the stairs and go for a ride.
Friend: "Oh yea, I've done that."

I could not stop laughing, little kids are the best!

Guilty Pleasure

It might sound weird, but I love to watch tennis on TV (or in person). I am excited for the Australian Open to start tomorrow! Why did I cancel my cable just days before the first tennis slam of the year!!??? Well, I guess that will free up my next two weeks. I hope these two meet up in the finals...if that happens I will be cheering for Rafel.

Good Bye Cable

Well, here is one New Year's resolution I have kept...we canceled cable. I think this will be more painful for me than for anyone else (College football just ended). We will see how long we can go without it, hopefully for all of 2009!
