Last Ski Day of the Season

Ezra and Zoe sluffed school to get the last bit of skiing in. 60 degrees and skiing, not too bad they say!



This actually makes Zoe laugh when she sees her jumps compared to Ezra's, even better when she tries to grind the rail.



Zoe is an excellent skier actually. She doesn't really enjoy all the tricks Ezra makes her try, but she is a good sport. Ezra on the other hand is all about the tricks.



At the end of the day everyone was happy and that's all that counts, right! Say goodbye to a great ski season and hello summer.

In Response to Streets of Terror.

My friends, Sam and Brodi talk about I-80 being the "bobsled horror show." Read their blog, it is very funny. You can link on to it from Renan's website. Here is a small portion of it....

"I just close my eyes while I drive that 5 mile stretch, crying and screaming and praying to just make it through. Rocks pelting the windows, dodging 57 ton Semi trucks, 16 year old boys texting as they drive, and others just swerving all over the road. When you are trying to keep up with the flow of traffic and hitting speeds of 55 miles an hour and you have about 2 inches of clearance on both sides of your lane, it gets your heart pounding."

In response to their blog........ You haven't experienced true horror until you have driven I-80 with Renan at the wheel. 55 is nothing!!!!!! nothing I tell you, when the norm for Renan is 80. I have no idea why our family is still alive. I am constantly trying to put on the imaginary brake on the passengers side, while Renan is rolling his eyes at me. When we finally arrive at our destination, I have to mentally tell all the muscles in my body to relax, then I reach over in my purse and pull out the meds that I wished I had taken before that awful experience. You may think I am exaggerating , but truly I am not. This is not for the wimps of the world, you have to be hard core to drive with Renan.

The Big Event.

Easter egg dying is a huge event at our home. This year was no different. We spent a great deal of time the Saturday before Easter dying eggs. Monday came and we felt as if we still hadn't had enough dying time. So Monday night, yes the day after Easter, we spent dying eggs for a second time. It is so much fun to see all of the unique creations the kids make. But it is not just the kids that enjoy this. I remember several years ago, Renan went to the store after the kids went to sleep to pick up a couple dozen more eggs to dye by ourselves. Apparently we love it as much as the kids do!

Hours of practice and this is what you have!

Bloggers Block!

I can't think of a decent thing to blog about. Apparently I have bloggers block. It's not that it has been an uneventful week. There are plenty of extremely exciting things to write about. Check out the list. Everyone likes a good list!!!!!

1. Monday - Orthodontist appt. for Zoe. She thought she lost her retainer. We had been searching for days. Right before her appointment I remembered to check the dryer, because that's where any smart kid would keep it. I am truly amazing.

2. Tuesday - Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts, need I say more.

3. Wednesday - YW Fondue Party!!!

4. Thursday - My visiting teachers came that day. I know what you are all thinking, 3 consecutive days of church activities. Well that's just me, like I said, truly amazing.

5. Friday - The kids went to stay with my parents that night. That might be worth writing about, but I will spare you all.

6. Saturday - Ezra tried on Zoe's Easter dress. Now that's what I really wanted to talk about and maybe even post a picture or two. But for the sake of saving my life, I will not.

That, my friends, is a small bit of my ever exciting life. Maybe next week I can tell you about when I get my visiting teaching done. I know you can't wait!!

Yes, They're Strange!

The sun comes out and something strange happens to my kids. Zoe and Ezra spent the day outside taking funny pictures and making very creative movies. They had a great time while entertaining the neighborhood.

Here comes the sun..........

George Harrison wrote one of the best songs ever. I love the song "Here Comes the Sun". It was written at a time when he felt like winter in England was never going to end, then comes that first bit of Springtime sun and everyone is deserving of it. I love this time of year. Everyone is coming out of hibernation, people are smiling and happy, and all because of a little bit of sun. Yes, Here comes the sun.............do and doo doo. I know you are all singing this with me. Have a great day and keep singing!
