Telluride - Day 4

Well, the snow finally came early this afternoon - and boy did it come! The boys did another full day of skiing. I met them in the afternoon and let's just say if it weren't for the boys - I would certainly not have been out on that mountain in the massive snow storm. My toes were numb, my face was numb, I couldn't see out of my sunglasses, and well, it seemed like being inside was the best idea. However, I tried my best to buck up and be a good boy mommy. We went out to eat to a yummy Mexican place and Camryn looked adorable today in a cute little outfit Gramps and Miss Kim had given her for Christmas.

Telluride - Day 3

The day started out with anticipation of a big snow storm coming. We waited, and waited, and waited but it never came. So, we had another good day of skiing in some sun, but a mostly cloudy day. Charlie and I headed in early and started the hot tub session. We stayed in and had some yummy soup and chili. We ended the night with a game of Yahtzee (I won by the way!) We went to sleep assuming we would wake up to tons of snow!

Telluride - Day 2

We had our first day of skiing and it was a beautiful day! David, Dad and the boys went out first thing and the boys got their skiing legs back on. I went out for a few hours in the morning and then again in the afternoon. The boys did great. I had a great time skiing but felt rather out of shape - my thighs were a burnin'! Miss Kim and Kyle went out on the mountain too and Jackson finished his day with Miss Kim down the slopes. After a hard day of skiing, the boys went in the hot tub and we had another great dinner in town. Charlie fell asleep at the table which is a usual thing for him here.

Telluride - Day 1

We had a suprisingly easy time at the airport with all of our luggage and children. The flight was a breeze and Camryn did just fine. We loaded up Dad's car in Montrose and headed for Telluride. It was a gorgeous day. We rented our skis and headed out for a yummy Italian dinner.

ok - this is a horrible pic of me but I thought it was funny that the man at the airport wanted to take a picture for us. I now know that if I am ever on an episode of What Not to Wear - this sweater is one of those things they will throw away!

A Few of Our Favorite Things.....

Lounging with Charlie on the couch when he gets home from school

Accessorizing (this is NOT daddy's favorite thing!)

standing, standing, standing (she LOVES doing this!)

Growing like a weed (well, that may be pushing it)

Our little bit is now 8 whole pounds! I had to put most all of her preemie clothes up which has made me a bit sad. On a lighter note, I am so happy that I have found a play gym that is still just toys hanging down with no lights or noise. I tried so hard to find one for Christmas with no luck but finally came across one. Does every baby toy really need to have lights, music and vibrate?

Playing Catch-Up

It's been quite some time since I've blogged. Not sure why - maybe because all of the tv shows are back on and new again or maybe because I'm just being lazy. We had a great Christmas. We spent Christmas with the Bain's and then went to San Antonio to see my side of the family.

Lots of pics below...

This picture makes me giggle because Charlie looks like such a punk :)
