TellUriDe SKI bums

Bryce and Cole off to the lifts in down town Telluride.

Bryce getting ready to ride.
Colei Pokei 's excited to ride!

We took the Gondola up to the Mountain Village where Bryce & Cole got off to ski down. The Gondola was a major entertainment for the kids! Good thing!


Friday the kids and I shopped and explored Telluride, while Bryce and Cole skied. Then Bryce took the kids Saturday, while I went snowboarding with Cole. We had a ton of fun. Cole took me on a black diamond our last run and I totally bailed. But, what ever. I got up and wanted to hurry down the hill. Whew! I made it ALIVE! Cole on the other hand is a DIE HARD! Where does this kid come from? Must be his dad's dna! This is the kids hanging out in front of the NORTH FACE store

Bug trying a silly hat on.
Don't ask me what ASHTON is doing with his face?!
Lady checking out a x ray. There was a super cool store for the kids to explore. It was all about learning the Colorado state animals and what is surrounding us in the mountains. X ray's of animals, humans and such.

This is the ONLY picture that I got of the kids at the cabin. I wish I could show you how much fun it is! WE have come here for the past 2 years to ski. We usually go with Bryce's brother Todd. It's always a ton of fun with them! Well, at the last minute they were not able to make it. That's a Bummer! BUt, no worries here! We had a ton of FUN. Glad we could go!

Our minor detour of the country. IT's beautiful! Bryce took us all around to see where he went when he was a kid. Fun times!
Doesn't this look like a picture of the old west.

The Shame BOX

This box of shame has been around all month. Bryce got a new golf bag sent to him and Alayda took over the box. She has had the box in a time out, watched countless movies in it, carried this thing around the whole month. The kids have enjoyed this SIMPLE box! Maybe we will buy them all a box and get rid of all the toys!???

HaPpY LOVE DaY

It's always nice to celebrate Valentines Day!

Alayda made these Valentines for us. This kind of stuff melts your heart! We celebrated on Sunday instead of Monday so that we could be together as a family. We always will get a little something for the children. It's fun actually! And it seems that the gifts get bigger and bigger each year. Hmmm. Bryce totally surprised me with a lovely treat! I am still enjoying it!
WE decided to try to motivate the children. One FHE we had made some hearts. We discussed what we can do to help each other out. WE wrote these things on each heart and who ever was doing good got to pick that heart out to match what they were doing. It has been a GREAT success! The children loved it. It worked for the whole month of February! Yeah! I think we will do this every month! :)
