The "princess"

I know I talk about Tyler a lot, but he cracks me up lately.
He has a great imagination...he likes to pretend he's different characters from his favorite shows. Well, Steve has introduced the kids to some Japanese anime cartoons & from watching them Libby is now the "princess". Tyler will wake up & say, "Is the princess at school?" Last week, I was going to pick her up from piano & he said, "I want to come with you to pick up the princess, let's go get the princess!" Then when she got in the car he yells, "hi princess!" It really is sweet, I just hope he'll always treat her like the princess that she is!!

Because let's face it....

She's loved you from the start!!

Ski Day

It was the first ski day of the year for Steve, Libby & Zack.
They headed up to their favorite place...Solitude.


They are too cute!
I'm so glad that they are such great friends.


They do have a lot of fun together
(If you look close at the picture, their faces show it!)


Zack going up all on his own...


When they left, I told Libby to have fun & be careful. She replied, "Don't worry mom, I'm a great skier!"


Libby is getting better...she's moved passed the "pie" position.


Zack slowing down...


Zack went through the slalom course & didn't miss one turn on his first try.


Thanks to their dad they are getting pretty good....I'm glad he can handle the cold!

Zack & Steve

It looks like Steve's definitely has some cute ski buddies!!

Here they are taking a hot cocoa break.

On the way back down the canyon they took some really pretty pictures of the scenery...

It looks beautiful & COLD





Those are some big icicles!




They had a fun day & this is how we found all 3 of them tonight....


Sound asleep...
Now that is a sign of a fun day!

Christmas is over, but our love for Santa isn't...

Zack

Tyler
He is at a funny stage where he is all kinds of different people throughout the day...Mr. Miyagi (Karate Kid), Little Foot (from The Land Before Time), yesterday he was a dog & ever since Christmas he is sometimes Santa! He'll come up to me & say, "I am Santa, see my sleigh?" Then he'll leave saying, "ho,ho,ho... Merry Christmas!"

We had a fun night of pizza & treats & games. All three of my kids stayed up until midnight! They didn't get to bed until after one....we stayed outside "playing" with sparklers & then Libby brought out the sleds!! We have some fun video of that!!

Here are some fun photos of Steve....it looks like he's morphing!!


Eating fire...

The zig-zag

His face is disappearing...

It's gone...

And he's back!!

Now here are some fun pics of John's morph!

He begins...

Swirling face & sparklers...

He slips away...
