Ski Trip '09

We had a blast on our Ski Trip!! The boys just love to ski. They would leave out at 9 when the lifts opened, we would see them again for a quick bite of lunch, and then they would return at 5 when the lifts stopped. We had a little challet that was slopeside, and they would literally slide in AT 5!!

Yes, Mia learned to ski too. She would ski between our skis and hold onto our poles. Then by day 2 and 3 she would even ski short distances by herself. Amazing considering that this baby hasn't been walking that long. She would say "quack, quack, quack" and waddle her baby skis like a duck. Precious!!

Jim and I were actually tired from keeping up with her!!

Enjoy these pictures for now. My Canon camera broke on the trip, so I am relying on the family to supply me with pictures. I'll just have to feed them out to you as I get them. Hope you had a wonderful Spring Break!!

Swimming with my brothers at Knoxville!

Love my hair!! Katelyn fixed it for me every morning!!


Now here is a FUNNY!! My niece, Meredith, brought Mia a gift of this precious swimsuit. Well of course she had to put it on... then, she wanted the boots that my aunt gave her...and I had brought along this pool float to play in the snow with her. Well, you can see it all came together to make a HILLARIOUS photo shoot. It was so warm outside that day. We had all been skiing in short sleeves. So, no, I wasn't freezing the baby. She did think that she was very cute!! And, I agree!!

She looks like a snowboarder in those boots, doesn't she?
