Still Fun

Everyone is still having fun.

Chloe is having fun.


Jason and I are having fun.


And the kids are even having fun with us.

Christmas

We definitely had a white Christmas.

It snowed all day Christmas Eve.


Everyone woke up Christmas morning and found out they were on the nice list.


Santa must have gotten their wish lists.


Christmas day was probably the most beautiful ski day I've ever had. The snow was perfect, it wasn't cold, and it wasn't crowded.  


JR even skied with us...it was a Christmas miracle!

All Healed

Kyle got his stitches out last week, and his eyebrow looks great.  You can't even tell anything happened. 


On a side note, when your preferred emergency room sends you a Christmas card, it probably means we spend too much time there.


I was happy to see Kyle back at diving.  Sitting out a week really put in to perspective how much he enjoys it.

Merry Fitmas

I had my last Christmas party of the year on Tuesday.

The girls that I work out with came over (after working out) and we had a gift exchange, drank mimosas, and had lots of fun. 

And we had 3 more that left before the picture.

The Big Bubble Bang Theory

My friend, Wendy, did Sean and Reed's entire Science Fair project last year.  I told her I owed her one this year, but she did 97% of this one too...so I still owe her. 


This year Kyle is lucky enough to have science with Sean, and I don't think Wendy's project could have been any cuter.

Kyle said it was the best in the class....duh....

Super Saturday

Reed was quite busy on Saturday.

He started off in the morning at a basketball game.  Reed and Pierce are on the same team this season, and I'm glad they had on a different color undershirts because it's hard to tell them apart!


Reed scored a basket, stole a ball from a kid not paying enough attention (which really cracked me up), and they won. 

Then he was off to play in a tennis tournament.

He won all 3 of his matches and made it to the finals (which were on Sunday)


 After all the basketball and tennis, he went on to play more tennis and play doubles (with a new partner, Gus).  

They were playing kids 2 years older, so they really had their work cut out for them.  But, one of the moms told me her son said "Oh great, time to get beat by 10 year olds" when it was his turn to play them.  (He did not get beat by the 10 year olds, BTW.)

3rd place doubles

Sunday was the championship and Reed had to play his usual doubles partner, Eric. 


Reed played well but had to settle for runner-up.



He really played hard this weekend!

Concert and a Party

JR had his choir Christmas concert on Friday night.  Jason and I didn't go because we had a Christmas party to attend, but Maw-Maw, Paw-Paw, and Granny Sherry were there. 

 Granny Sherry sent me this picture.


And Jason and I took 1 picture of ourselves too.

I Guess She Needs a Vacay

Chloe's current mood. 




Christmas Party

Jason and I got to host his company's Christmas party this year.

I snapped a few pictures before it started, but with 88 people here (and the last group of people leaving at 2:15 AM) I didn't get any during the party.


 We got a foot of rain Friday evening through Saturday morning.  Luckily it stopped and didn't rain for the party. We had a tent for the backyard and it looked really nice. 


We had a buffet in the dinning room, and sushi chefs making sushi in the kitchen. It was super yummy and fun! 


I also had Cassidy.  I love it when work life and friend life intersect. 


And Jason was beyond thrilled when the photographer decided to use our own wall instead of a backdrop for the souvenir photos.

Field Trip Fiasco

So here's the field trip I was on when Kyle busted his eyebrow open.




I was so enjoying hearing JR's choir sing around town since I'm going to miss his Christmas choir concert because of a Christmas party.

On a side note, I think I have a field trip phobia now!

Slow Down

Everything has been crazy here.
This weekend was supposed to be even more crazy.

Nothing to slow you down like a kid (who is home "sick") falling on the stairs while you're on a field trip with another kid and face timing you with blood running down his face.


Poor Kyle had to wait until Jason could get to him, and I could find somebody to rescue me from my field trip.



He was supposed to qualify for Nationals at his diving meet this weekend.  Now he's not even allowed to compete. 


3 stiches later I now have 3 kids who all have eyebrow scars.

Big JR at the Big Texan

You might recall that JR failed to eat the entire 18 oz steak at the Big Texan last year...which there is photographic evidence of. 



He reattempted to eat it again this year.


He prepared himself by skipping breakfast and only eating French fries at lunch. His preparations worked and he was able to finish. 

I wasn't there to witness the ridiculousness, but Jason said he was acting like he won the Superbowl. 

Celebratory big chair pictures were taken.

Snow Amazing

The snow in Breckenridge is unbelievable for this time of year. 

More of the mountain is open for Thanksgiving than was open for Christmas last year! 




I was super excited because I was able to ride the T-bar today. I've tried before with no luck. 
Look at me, I made it to the top!


 Kyle and Reed didn't have much faith in me that I'd make it.

Speaking of Kyle and Reed they have been tearing up the mountain like crazy people.  Which means Jason and I do lots of sitting and relaxing between their runs....which is just the way we like to ski. 

And I have no pictures of JR because he refuses to ski with us or act like he knows us.

What We've Been Doing

I haven't been blogging because we have been very busy in Breckenridge. 


Reed has been busy eating fried Twinkies for dinner (because that's what you get to order when you eat dinner with Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw).


Granny Sherry and I have been busy running away from the foxes when we walk the dogs. 

Chloe has been busy on fox lookout from the comfort of the couch. 

And Caroline stayed busy with Scott and Debbie's, dog, Penny.
