Cooking and a new beauty

The kids have been super into learning to cook so we got a great kids cook book and they made their first thing all by themselves (I supervised but that was all.) They made grape salsa  and it was delicious!  Also i have been looking for months because I need one, and Art called me and said “get dressed, get in the car and go get your treadmill”. Its Saturday and I wasn’t working so he pegged me...still in Pjs we got ready and ...I got a new treadmill today and I am so excited!!

Skiing Snowbird 2019

We had quite the adventure today on our first ski trip out.  First I tried on my boots and decided they were super uncomfortable so I borrowed a set from my cousin Lori.  Our plan was that I was going to pick the kids up right from school and head down...but I realized as I got there that I had forgotten my coat.  So we went by the house and headed out.  We arrived at Snowbird only for me to realize I had forgotten my snow pants... We went on anyway and marched up to the main area where we realized the ski lift only allowed 2 people so we ventured to the kids area. We had a good ski down to the ski lift and again found, only two riders.  So Grace rode with a stranger, but we were lucky she was really nice (and Grace was really brave).  

Walker and I didn't do so well on the ski lift.  We made it there fine, but his little skis didn't reach the ground so I realized he wasn't coming and I picked him up by his coat and tossed him off while I piled off after him.  Needless to say.  It wasn't pretty and we didn't remain standing.  After that, he was a little scared the rest of the day.

Grace picked up skiing right where she left off.  She was awesome!

Tiny mister was tired of me getting after him to try harder (not my shining moment but I was tired of pulling/packing/carrying him down the hill without him trying) and he puked on the hill.  He said his stomach didn't feel well (I promised I at least cleaned his face before I took the picture).  He made it though..we all did and the last 100 yards were as much fun as the first 100.  But that's about all we had in us today.

Back to school

Our Christmas break went to quickly and the kids are now back at school.  Walker is a Timberwolves Basketball Fan so be and his dad watched the game last night.  It’s so cute to watch him learn and how optimistic he is for the team.  Grace is loved by all the little kids and they call her bacon because of her Halloween costume. I am thankful she is so nice to them!

Charades

More fun with the Kuna Boxalls playing Charades!

New Year 2019

We had the Boxall crew in for New Years Eve. We made it to bring in the new year but it was super cold outside so we made our way to the rec center for some active play.  We sure love having family in town!
