Ski Bunny

Why do these pictures make my heart sing??

Because soon you shall see....

That while Mayci made snow angels...and Wesly slept on my chest...

I was able to watch this!!!

And this!!!

I sat there, seriously, with a smile on my face the whole time.
To watch my first child experience something that I grew up LOVING to do...
priceless.

And the fact that she LOVES it...
joy.

I would watch Rae come down...with almost a tear in my eye.  And then I would catch Evan with my tearful eye...and laugh out loud.  He was either on the ground tangled up in his skis, or on the slope between Shawns legs tangled up in his skis.  Unfortunately this took quite a toll on Shawns old man back, but I got a real good laugh. I don't know how my dad did it.  We had to have been older because I remember it like it was yesterday.  I remember thinking, "how can my dad ski backwards?!  I can't even get my own skis straight!"  And the first time on my board, well lets just say I was old enough to cuss him out the whole way down...over...and...over...and...over again!  GOOD TIMES!!

What a stud.  Makes my heart so proud.

Poor guys.  Better luck next time...in 10 years!  HA!

Ok, I'm getting a good laugh right now!! Much needed so thanks! :) Mayci just warms my heart to the core. I really wish the video of her walking herself home was better...we could all laugh for days! She is the best! And Rae....well, ur amazing on those skis girl! Please don't tell Camryn about your fun because we have her convinced that people only ski in foreign countries!! Ha! And Evan....that's where I laugh hardest because gosh darn it...he's his fathers son!!!! I'm sure we still have the video of Shawns first attempt at ice skating. I can still laugh for hours reliving it in my mind. Oh, and I think theres one waterskiing too!! Nope, he did not stand in the coordination line in heaven! HAHAHA! Loveit!
