Snow

We have been enjoying a lot of snow this week! After Ian's school on Monday we decided to pack up the whole family and head up to the Sundance Ski Resort. Aaron and I included. Aaron and I enjoyed playing in the snow while Tim and Ian hit the slopes. Everyone stopped when they saw Aaron to try to get him to smile and giggle. He was a big hit! All of the people walking to the restaurants would smile and wave at him (it was pretty busy with the film festival going on). We took a short break in the lodge for the kids to refuel. Then it was off again. It had also started snowing and was coming down pretty hard.

Ian went on the big lift for the first time! He thought it was very exciting until he realized that mom was not with him anymore. Then he did not want to go unless I came too -so cute and frustrating at the same time.

Tim stayed back at the resort and got in a few more runs on his snowboard. While Ian and Aaron crashed on the drive home. When we got home everyone was excited that it was actually snowing at our house as well. Not sure what is happening this winter but we are really missing all of the snow.

On Tuesday morning Tim headed back up to Sundance. The kids and I headed to Ian's sports class. Then after nap time for Aaron, and quiet time for Ian, Tim was home and we decided to head outside and play in the snow while it lasted. Aaron was undecided if he wanted to play in the snow or not. I had to post all of the pictures because his expressions are just funny. Happy, Sad, Happy, Sad....



Aaron did enjoy sledding down the hill. As did Ian.

While Aaron and I sledded. Tim and Ian built a snow-bear.

Aaron and I later decided to go inside and watch from the window.


On Wednesday it was skiing lessons! Ian went up the lift and down the mountain a million times with his instructor and loved it! I had to come up and drop Aaron off with Tim because I had a couple math tutoring appointments. Tim was going to just stay in the lodge with Aaron. When I arrived apparently he had a completely different plan. Take Aaron skiing as well. I was (and still am) against it. At the time I was out numbered by many fellow skiers saying that he would be just fine, and people do it all the time. Although Aaron did love it! There is still the chance that Tim could fall and Aaron could hit his head or something. While Tim is excellent at skiing and is very cautious you still have to remember even the best fall. I told Tim he could take him again but only if Aaron had a helmet on as well. He informed me that they do not make helmets that small. Hmmmm....I wonder why?!??!?!!! Below is Tim and Aaron on the lift. Ian is just ahead with his instructor.


Today we enjoyed our last day of sports class and a little relaxing around the house! Aaron playing at the kids table in the kitchen.

The boys playing with puzzles just before bedtime! I love Ian's tongue sticking out.

Aaron found his baby sun hat.

Ian had to go and get his hat as well.

In other news Aaron made a new discovery this past week. Go ahead and see for yourself...

Crazy right, I can't even stand trying to get out the plug protectors.
