Chair lift fun

It is so fun to think of new things to talk about and new things to do on the chairlift. From a child's perspective we could solve many of the world's problems while riding up the lift. Sometimes we have bubble blowing contests. Sometimes I will quiz Avery on his spelling and math. Or we will listen to Henry talk our ears off. I so cherish this time I have with the boys. Time is going by way too fast.

Meet Charlie

Meet Charlie. This is the closest thing that Kevin will let Henry have to a dog. Poor kid. He absolutely loves animals and I think it is so sweet. For now Kevin says NO! So Henry is happy with Charlie. Here is Henry and Charlie Eating Breakfast together.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In honor of St. Patty's Day I hosted an impromptu Leprechaun dinner. It was totally unplanned, but hey it work's. All of the neighbor kids, or peeps as they say, hang at our house quite a bit. On St. Patty's day they had all been so cute hunting around for 4 leaf clovers and leprechauns with their home made magnifying glass. So I decided to make things a little exciting and make them a leprechaun dinner. It was so much fun that I think I am going to be more organized next year, not quite as organized as Molly, but I am going to make this an annual event. I wish I were Irish. Do I have any Irish in me? Maybe I do!

Elliott Boys

The Elliott's came down for a long overdue play date. The cousins had not seen each other since August yikes! When they got here it was like they had never been away. They played hard all weekend and we tuckered them out. Thank you Jeremy and Erin for the visit and we miss you already Boos and Dillon. Sweet Boys. Uncle Dave is always getting the kids pumped up. He thinks its soooo funny.

Avery lost his first tooth!

Last Tuesday night we were driving home from Max's birthday party and Avery all of the sudden said, "hey, my tooth just came out!" It was about time because it was bent forward and to the side for about two weeks. I am surprised it didn't come out in his pork chops or apples before this. Anyway to tooth fairy did come for a visit and left him a dollar bill. And if you can believe it, the tooth fairy actually left something at Nana's house as well. That tooth fairy is pretty smart.

Winter Fun

We've taken full advantage of trying to survive in the cold weather this winter. We've spent many weekends in McCall enjoying all it has to offer. The boys are improving every weekend with their skiing and Avery has been trying out snowboarding. Again we are trying enjoy every moment with these boys. I wish I could just freeze time. I love Avery's passion for life right now and his determination when trying new things. And I love Henry's fun loving personality and willingness to do anything (which can be scary at times). Here are a few pics from our activities:


The Downey's came up for a couple of days over Christmas break and Jordi and Henry ate lots and lots of icicles.

Avery by the number 5. This snow sculpture had all of the numbers 1-9 integrated into it. I was very creative.Henry by number 3.Our neighbor invited us to go ice fishing with him and it was our first time. We fished for 5 hours and did not catch anything but had a lot of fun. Henry sat in his chair for just under one minute and then he ran around trying not to fall into all of he holes that had been drilled in the ice. On the way home from ice fishing Kevin saw they were giving helicopter rides and he has always wanted to ride in one of em fancy helicopters.

Fiesta Bowl!

Beat the Horn frogs, Beat the Horn frogs, Broncos beat the Horn frogs! Whoo. To Grandma and Grandpa Kuntz's dismay, Kevin and I headed to Arizona with Jaime and Dave to pay them a visit. And let me tell you I am sure they were proud of Jaime and I for who we chose to marry us. Just kidding boys. We had a lot of fun with lots of memories. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for letting us crash in on your place and it was great to spend time with you. And thank you to Mom and Jaynie for making sure that we were well fed.
