Sno' What?

Snow Shoeing!

You can only ski so many days in a row,

before your legs need a rest or different workout!

so Kate and I decided to give Show Shoeing a try,

the first time for both of us!

It's a great workout!

We ended shoeing straight up the hill for little over an hour....

Kate about half way up---

that's our hotel in the background....

And..........Action!!

Post Workout......I'm beat!

JR takes over the Ritz'

JR took over our room and the entire Ritz!

Take daddy's stuff out, throw it in the ground--it's fun!!!

At the kids play house, he again was a star-

Here he's riding Bachlor the mascot dog....

Mommy & JR!

Day of Skiing!

Us at the top of Beaver Creek!

Tom, Me, Kate & Mom off the first lift of the day!

Mom-little to the left, little more, little more--PERFECT!

Question from caller: Where's JR

Answer: He's with Aunt Nana (my aunt Cindy) back at the room.....

Thank GOD for her!

Baby moma' tearing up the slopes!

Impressed with the ability for not skiing the last couple seasons!

It will only be another year before JR is skiing faster then his moma'

Vacation- REEEE Cap!

Last week the Family took a little vacation to the hills of Colorado for some snow action!

Fun, yet challenging with a 10-1/2 month old......

We skied, snowshoed, played in the snow and ate for 5days straight.

The next few Blog updates will recap,

minus the details from the "Family flu" that spread like wildfire!

JR, loved crawling in the snow!

This day was followed with Hot Coco and marsh mellows by a campfire....

I'm be'n' SERIOUS!!!!

GIVE ME MY FOOD!!!!!

What happens at Nana's, Stays at Nana's...

If Mom and Dad say no, I'll just ask Nana!

angry Joseph.....

We don't know why, but JR started doing this

"Angry Joseph" impression......

Mommy doesn't think it's funny,

but Daddy can't get enough!!!

JR walk'n'......well kinda'

It's so much fun to watch him learn new things!

He's crusin everywhere now with his walk-behind mower--

we're trying to figure out how to put a vacume on it!

Super' Bowl Sunday!!

JR attended his First Superbowl party on Sunday....

I came back from Utah early and got home in time to

go with Katie and JR to the Morris house for a small party!

Good Friends, Great food!!!

JR and Daddy--4:30

and Daddy, 3hrs later......Party Animal!!

Daddy's away playing!

sorry for the "lack" of new post the last few days.....

After a hectic' month at work I took off for a
DUDES weekend in Utah for some skiing with 14 other guys!

Lots of hard skiing, lots of libations & little sleep.....
No matter where you go, it's always good to come back home.....
