HITTING THE SLOPES

It's that time of the week again folks. I am sooooo glad that I bought that lime green jacket for Mimi. Makes seeing her so much easier for me as I do not ski and today's visibility was close to nil. Last week as you may recall poor ole Blake was having a doozy of a time trying to stay standing. Today however was way, way better. Wade had the day off yesterday and so the whole family took Blake up to the mountains to practice. We are so very proud of him. He did not give up. Not only that, little Bailey decided that she too wants to ski. "I wanna go keying mom!" she would say over and over. So Keri took her on the slopes today too.

Happy Birthday to us!

FIRST LIBRARY CARD

Saturdays are usually the day when Mimi and dad spend time together.
Together after breakfast at their usual hotspot Black Diamond Bakery,
it was time to head over to tje library where Mimi received her very
own library card. She is quite jazzed about that.

SHABAT SHALOM

Mimi was singing this song all through dinner tonight. "Mom, you know
what Shabat Shalom means? Mr O'Connell says that it mean have a good
day." Mean while Butch was trying to steal her shrimp ramen. Soup is
always good on a cold, cold day such as today.

'I AM A COLLABERATIVE WORKER AT GLACIER PARK"

Yesterday afternoon when Mimi came home from school, I noticed she was wearing a stick-on nametag and was going to ask her about it but she was already upstairs changing for her gymnastic class. Then I forgot all about it. It wasn't until she was getting into bed when she asked "Mom, what is a corra-ber-ator? Cora-ber-ative? Well......anyways, I'm one of those people." We then talked about it. I'm so proud of my little chili pepper. This is definetly going into her scrapbook for sure.

SPLISH, SPLASH

Nothing like splashing in the puddles on the way home from school.
Thank goodness for rain boots.

I'M KING OF THE HILL!!!

When the lessons were done, Blake went home with his mom and Bailey. Mimi and I went down to a place called "The Pancake House" for lunch and wait for dad. By the time dad met up with us, we were through with lunch and ordered dessert. I love cheesecake (just not the baked kind nor with the cinnamon in the crust) and thought that I would try theirs out and wouldn't you know it. Baked and cinnamon. I ate anyways while Mimi polished off a big bowl of vanilla ice cream. Our favorite. Dad eats slow. Always has and always will I guess and Mimi was getting ansy just waiting so outside we went to play in the snow.
