Too Much Fun!

We've had a great week of fun and adventure! Thursday we took the kids out of school and headed up to Brianhead with Tyler's mom and dad (a.k.a. Clark & Kassie). I wasn't sure if I would be able to go but thanks to my sweet sweet mother being willing able to take the busy body Lincoln for a day, I got to spend the day with older kiddos - and I'm so glad I didn't miss it!
Morgan is such a great little skiier! After our 2nd run we took the strap off of Morgan's skiis that hold them together at the front. She was a little hesitant but did so great without them! She has such great form and by the end of the day was making great turns!
Ty had them all following behind him making wide turns across the whole mountain. It was so fun to stay at the top of the hill on my snowboard and watch my little ducks follow their daddy down the hill. (that's me in the background of this picture - the lone snowboarder)
They found a big icicle and thought it was pretty cool!

Cameron is our little adventure skiier - just like his daddy he loves to go through the jump park!He had a few good jumps and a few good wipe outs and a great attitude and kept on going!
Cameron and Grandpa Clark goofing off on the chair lift!

Lainee, Lainee, Lainee!!! Those of you who know Lainee well can predict how the day went for our fearless little girl who can do anything! She started the day out with a harness and rope on and Tyler holding the rope and guiding her down. Halfway through the 2nd run of the day she was skiing all by herself. If she fell down she got right back up! It's so fun to watch her go!!
I was so proud of all of them for their good attitudes - cuz it was cold and learning to ski is hard!!! We had such a fun day and I'll always remember it.
And I LOVE my dad's honest sense of humor! I called to check on Linc while we had lunch and told my dad I hoped Linc would take a long nap! He just says, "yeah, the longer the better for us." Then when we picked him up my dad says to Lincoln,
"thanks for coming, come again when you can't stay so long!" he he he
I know my busy little boy wears them out but he loves them so much,
and I think they kinda like him too!!!
Friday brought more fun for Ty and I! Finally time for my christmas present! Tyler had given me tickets to Jack's Mannequin for Christmas along with the documentary of the lead singer's battle with Leukemia! It was a really inspiring DVD to watch and made me love the band that much more - but they were already my favorite. We saw them 3 years ago and it was to long to wait to see them again. They are sooo good live! He plays the piano and is so talented, plus his music is just what sings to me. Some of it I can chill to, some of it I can run too, and some of it gets me pumped to get my bike up a big hill a little faster than the last time! And I can always sing a long - last night's concert was not a disappointment! I loved every single second of it!!!
At this point he wasn't so much playing his piano as jumping off of it! It was a happy crowd!
And this is the t-shirt I made to wear! "I wanna hear some music" is the first line
of my favorite?(not sure I really have a favorite) song they sing!

Oh my gosh! Am I a groupie????

Yes you are a groupie and I love your dad's sense of humor, he sounds just like my dad (he uses that same line far too often)!!! I'll call you sometime this week and give you the dish on what's going on!!!!!
