El Dora Ski Trip

The kids had a 4 day weekend in February, so we decided to plan a ski trip to El Dora and stay at Royal's uncle's house up in Loveland, CO.  We invited our friends, the Boggess', to come with us, because our kids had done so well in ski school together the previous year, and well, we just really like the hang out with them.  :)

Then, sadly, I ended up missing the trip because a good friend's mom died and I flew home to Washington to see her and go to her mom's service.  Really, it was only sad that I was missing it because I was missing out on a family adventure, but I wasn't going to be able to ski anyway.  My leg isn't what you would call....healed.... :)  But I packed and cooked a ton of food and sent my family off on their way.   Thankfully, my friend, Kerri sent me a couple pictures and videos of the kids that weekend....I'm not sure Royal knows that his phone can take and send pictures and videos....

Everyone survived without me, if you can believe that!  :)

Willow's Got a New Smile

Another of Willow's teeth has bit the dust.  She's got a lot more wiggly ones, so it won't be long before she has a whole new smile!

Willow's Concert

Willow is a child who loves to be on stage, so when it came time for her concert, she had no worries about being up there.   It was also fun for me to hear, in completion, all the songs she had been singing for months.   She was all business up there!  She takes performing seriously.  :)

When the concert was over, she said that the only thing she would have wanted different was she wished she knew where we were sitting out in the audience, and in the next breath said, "So...when's my next performance?"  Um.....next year, kid????
