Ski Day with Kurt

Kurt came to Salt Lake for a conference. He lives in Seattle now and works at expedia.com. He came a couple days early to ski with us. It was just like old times - only better!

Here we are on the lift.



Our first run of the day, this is how the day started out...



Another run and Mal rode behind us on the chair. Who is that guy?



After lunch, Mal left us to go teach. She has a job at the ski resort as a Peer Ski Instructor. She assists the Ski Instructors with the little ones. She loves her job!



We headed over to the Great Western slopes. Surprisingly there was a lot of ice on the cat track down to the run. It was in the high teens, pretty sunny and windy. Neck gators and goggles were a must!



There was a guy behind a sign that said "Action Photos" on this run. We could see him from the chairlift as we were going up the mountain. We couldn't find him anywhere when we got to where he was so we took our own pictures.



That's Kurt looking king-ish and Wyatt is that little speck near Kurt's knee.



Wyatt caught up, now who's king-ish? More like giant-ish from this perspective.



And Jen taking a rest - our thighs were burning on these last few runs!



We decided to go take a break and warm up. Here's all of our skiis taking a rest too.



Kurt gives the evil eye.



Wyatt gives the stink eye.



One last look at a video from the day of Wyatt showing off his skills.

Wyatt Made a Pizza - Elf Size

It was for his math class. He made it using Fimo clay and the box is made of chipboard. The assignment taught him scale and percentages. This is 1/7th the size of a 16" pizza.

Smiley Baby

Chloe started smiling!

Yes we actually danced!

Sweethart Dance

We went to the Valentine's dance last night with Bonnie and Carl and Linda and Wes. Had dinner first and danced the night away.

Daddy Daughter Date

Steve took Haley and Madison to the annual Daddy Daughter Date Night at the Mt. Pleasant Comfort Inn. It's a fun night of dancing, activities and prizes. Here are some cute photos of them before they left for their date:)

Favorite Superbowl Commercial

Ewwww, Gross!

This weekend we went to Midland Center for the arts and saw the exhibit, Grossology, The Impolite Science of the Human Body. The girls learned about the slimy, mushy, oozy, scaly, stinky and gross (yet scientific) things that occur every day in the human body. They had a blast. Here are the girls climbing a wall of pimples, scabs and blisters - yuk:)
Madison is in a giant nose and, yes, she got sneezed on!

Wyatt Got Braces This Week

The left photo is right before we left to go to the orthodontist's office. Looks like Wyatt has 18 months of metal mouth!

Sweetheart Dance

Mallory went to the semi-formal school dance with her friend Foster and a group of her other good friends.





He is a really nice kid, but was so nervous! So I had to lighten things up a bit and told them "Let's take a crazy picture!" I think Mal was feeling a bit embarrassed too...she couldn't wait to get the picture taking over and get out the door.



This is my favorite - I bet it's yours too.

More Skiing @ Brighton

This is Mallory's ski group. She is in the light blue coat in the middle. Her instructor is on the far right in red and blue.









This is my first run of the day. Just got off the lift. Gonna do an easy first run.





I skiied over to the other side of the mountain (the far right side). It was a lot more windy and cold over here. Only did a couple runs and then went back to the main area.



This is the end of the day. Wyatt was going over to say good bye and thanks to his instructor.
