Libby Rocks At Skiing!!

Libby is officially a skier!

Steve took her up to Solitude for the day.
She got on & off the lift herself and she skied alone without the harness.
Steve said she didn't want to stop.
They even made new friends Bob & Tom from Florida....Libby said, "They liked me mom."
Steve even got a picture of her skiing in front of Shawn Bradley (basketball player).


All on her own

Grandparent's Day!

Today Libby's class had a program for their grandparents & she was lucky enough to have all of them come!

Skiing Fun

1st attempt....

Last Saturday the kids were excited to go skiing.



Zack & Tyler practiced all over the family room.

Tyler loves his goggles, but when we actually got there...

He wasn't a happy guy at all. I ended up sitting in the car with him while he had a major melt down.

Steve took Libby & Zack together by himself, which was a little hard to teach them both at the same time.

So today....
Steve & Libby went up & had a great time!

CHRISTMAS 2008

CHRISTMAS EVE

We always have a great Christmas Eve at my Parent's house. We Celebrate with my Dad's brother Roy & his wife Anne. We celebrate using Norwegian traditions, but for some reason we didn't take too many pictures this year, but it was a great night!

Wow... What a cheeseball!!

Brooklyn giving Tyler a kiss...aren't they cute?


Libby, Jazzy & Bailey


Getting ready for Santa in their new jammies.


Zack & Tyler (with his "cheese" smile)


Treats for Santa.
Libby is a funny girl! She read a story about how Santa was on a diet, so she said we had to leave him one healthy snack....she left him a nutri-grain bar!


Zack & Libby...
They also left Santa a Christmas card this year.

CHRISTMAS MORNING


Waiting for dad to give them the signal to come downstairs.


Mickey even got a gift...he's already chewing on it in the picture!


Libby must of been a very good girl this year...she FINALLY got an American Girl doll!

Zack will finally have some Bakugans to play with his best friend Noah!

Tyler LOVES his new drums!!

Christmas afternoon we go to my parents & we have Norwegian pancakes, unwrap presents & eat dinner. Grandma & Grandpa sure spoil us!! We love you!!

Me & Libby

I can't believe how few pictures we took...but I did get this cute one of Brooklyn

She sure LOVES her new babies....they received lots of kisses!!

We have had a very busy Christmas season with a lot of fun parties. We Celebrated everyday this week. It all started on Tuesday at Steve's parents house. They had all of the adult couples over for a Danish dinner & they shared stories with us about their mission. We learned about the Danish customs & had dinner on their new china. It was very nice, but once again Steve & I did a poor job of taking pictures.

Thanks Gary & Marilyn!

We also went back to their house on Friday for the family party & had a very nice evening!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas too!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

All I Want For Christmas Is My TWO Front Teeth!!

Zack had a very Busy day!

He lost both front teeth...all in one day!!
What a great smile!
