Feeling it.

On Saturday, Kent, my SIL, Sarah and I went skiing at Mt. Spokane (Kelly didn't want to go).  My MIL was so kind and watched our kids for us.  It turned out to be a beautiful day on the mtn.  We all used our groupon tickets that we bought in the Fall and it included equipment rentals.  This was a huge treat for me because I have never used shaped skis.  That's right folks, my equipment is straight from 1990, or before, I can't really remember.  I am talking straight skis with little pointed tips.  The last time I skied (which was before the girls were born, 4 years ago) the lift operators actually laughed OUT LOUD and pointed at me.  They would look for me to return to the lift so they could point out my antique equipment.  It truly was mortifying.  Needless to say, I was super psyched to use modern day equipment! 

The skis were great but the boots were horrible.  I think I have permanent damage in my toes.  It truly was a great day that was full of fun memories and brought back lots of memories from when I was a kid.  I took the first fall and it was a doozy.  I caught an edge, crossed my skis, flipped head over skis (they didn't pop off) and was bent all crazy and things were in places where they weren't supposed to be.  It wasn't pretty and I am suffering today.  My neck is so sore, I could barely turn my head while driving.  When you have to refer to your toddlers to see if the road is clear to go, it's NOT a good thing.  I have definitely been feeling old lately, did I mention my babies are turning FOUR in a week?

And my oldest baby woke up like this today:


For some reason he had a hard time keeping his eyes open.  Doesn't he look goofy? He doesn't even look like my boy with that face.  He has a huge hole in his mouth, but it looks so much better than the tooth that has been dangling there for a month.  I am so glad it finally fell out!

The girls wanted to be in the pic. too.  Can't seem to get a decent picture of all of them.

When I was looking through our party decoration collection, I found this number six candle that we forgot to use for B.  He suggested we use it for his half  B-day (this boy is always thinking).  His half B-day was the next day so we made cupcakes and sang "Happy Half  B-day to you."  The kids thought it was hilarious.  We ate cupcakes and then headed to the YMCA for a family night swim.
