Father-Son Time

Both David and I are having SO MUCH FUN with our kids lately. It seems the last 2 months we have realized that both Cameron and Melanie are getting older and are able to, and want to do things we really enjoy. Yesterday was one of those days for David and Cameron.

At the Brighton ski resort, ages 6 and under ski for FREE and we decided to take advantage of that and will do so more this winter season! Cameron went skiing for the first time ever yesterday! He LOVED it and David did too. David's co-worker and friend, Sandy, took his son, Anders as well. They each decided to teach their boys to ski yesterday and it worked out well. David mentioned how good both boys did and how fast they caught on to skiing. It's easier to learn when your little and not as scary when the ground isn't as far down when you fall!!

I sent the camera with David and this is the one shot he came home with. I will be sending it up with him next time to get more than one picture. I really want a full shot of David and Cameron in their skis to put in David's office. Aren't they so cute in their helmets?! I love it!!
Cameron and Anders with his dad, Sandy:
I met all the skiers at the base of the canyon to pick up Cameron when they were all done at 1:30 pm. Ander's mom was there also to pick up Ander's as well . David and Sandy went back up the mountain to finish skiing for the rest of the day. They are crazy skiers and do the double black diamond runs!! It is REALLY nice to live so close to the resort!! Very convenient.

We are excited to teach our children to ski with many memories to look forward to in the future! I am glad David has found a way to involve a sport he loves with the kids and wants to include his family in it. I haven't been since we were dating, 8 years ago. Hopefully this year I will get to go a couple of times. We love the snow in Utah!

Wow, good for Cameron, that is awesome! I have never been and probably will never go, I don't do well in the cold. I guess you are right about feb. birthdays, last year all of Kyla's gifts were clearance things from all the Christmas stuff, so there is a benefit:)

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
