Feeling Better!!!

Things are finally getting back to normal around here. Plus we are getting tons of snow in the mountains so of course we had to take advantage of it!

Ian and Aaron both love going! And, for the first time in probably over 10 years (or the third time in my life) I went too! I got new ski boots for my birthday -thanks Tim, Papa, and Nan :) And I was able to borrow Nan's skis, helmet, and goggles. I could not believe how amazing Ian was! It is 100% better when you are actually watching him on the mountain versus on video. I did not do too bad myself. I only feel once and that was on a narrow trail where I could not stop in time and was sure I would run into Ian. Instead I ran into the side of the mountain :) There was fresh powder everywhere and Ian loved finding the deepest parts and plowing through it. At one point the powder was above his knees and he was just giggling! After a few runs down the mountain we headed back home!

The next day we all packed up the car and headed to Logan. Above us getting ready to leave. Aaron loves wearing belts and just a diaper. If he could he would take off the diaper -luckily the belt keeps the diaper on as well! I had a mathematics conference to attend that weekend so Tim brought the kids up as well. We were continuously on the go trying to visit as many people as possible. If we did not catch you I apologize it was an insane weekend!

The kids had fun heading to the fun park soft play and heading outside to the park.

Aaron had a grand adventure falling through the railings in my parents kitchen to luckily be safely caught by his Uncle Andrew in the family room below. So the long question of "Can he really fit through there?" Is no longer a question -he can!

After arriving home and since everyone was feeling great we decided to pack as much into the week as possible. So the next day we headed to the aquarium in SLC since we have a membership there. Ian has been loving learning all about animals especially "dangerous animals." He even created his own theme song which I caught the end of...

We brought our Usborne book of big animals with us to the aquarium and had fun spotting some of the animals that we had been learning about. Ian's favorites being the goliath spider, and the anaconda snake. He even informed the employee that some anaconda's can swollow a whole deer. Yes, he soaks up information like a sponge.

One the way home while driving on the interstate Tim and I passed this lady as shown below....

Talking on your cell phone in Utah while driving is not against the law. There is rumor that they are trying to put that law in place. That fact that she was over public safety (are at least in the car) and talking on her phone made us chuckle. Not too mention the evil eye she was giving me. Gotta love it!

Below is a video of Aaron's favorite thing to do. I wonder why both of our boys love thrill seeking adventure? Apparently Tim has been training them from an early age.

Aaron's other favorite thing to do.Putting the toy drill in his mouth. You will also sense some sweet brotherly love. Ha ha...not really. They have their days.

It has been a great week! I got to go skiing with the family, Aaron is finally starting to feel better, I was able to get together and hang out with all my math buddies from Logan High, and enjoy time with other friends and family in Logan. Now I am exhausted! While the kids are still fully loaded with energy and ready to go! Had to capture Aaron's moment of down time in the play room! Plus we loved Ian's picture of a giant person. He was having some quiet time and working on the Usborne wipe-clean activity cards. This one said "Can you imagine what this boy can see? Use your pen and draw it." Everyday his drawing become more clear!

Hope the boys enjoyed a moment of downtime because in just a couple days and the boys and I are heading to St. George to visit Grandma and Grandpa Foster and see the Blue Angles! We can't wait!!!
