Saturday Ski Trip

Yesterday we took the kids skiing. Zana went snowboarding with Leif and is doing so AWESOME! She is linking turns and is looking so comfortable on the bunny hill maybe one or two more times on the bunny and Leif thinks she will be ready for a green run! Noah took Ski lessons for the first time and he loved it, he asked for a pair of skis for his birthday. Noah's instructor said he was solid and a solid level 2 now. Leif is excited to take them every weekend he can.

Ewan still has to wait a year but pretty soon we will be able to all ski/snowboard together, it is sad that kids are getting older at the same time we are loving this stage of being able to do new fun things as a family! For now Ewan and I will watch the kids progress from the lodge and then next season he will be able to join the full exciting fun.

Merry Christmas

It has been a LONG time since I have blogged!! A lot has happened since last April so I am just going to start again with Christmas. We had a great Christmas, Leif's brother Jonathan and family came the week before and we had fun with them and stayed super BUSY. Then we had a nice quiet Christmas at home then two days after packed up and stayed a week in Utah with my family and had a fun time playing games, dancing it up, and riding the Rhino.

We stayed with my Granny and she is quite the party girl! She kept us up one night until 1:30am watching movies, she is so fun and makes me feel OLD. We had lots of fun.

Happy BIrthday Zana!

Yesterday April 18th my little girl Zana turned 10. This was a happy/sad for me. It seems like yesterday she was my little baby girl and I was anxious for her to crawl, then walk, and talk. Now I am anxious for her NOT to grow up so fast.

Here are 10 things about our Zana we love.

1. She LOVES to be outdoors. Bike riding, climbing trees, crawling in the dirt if it looks fun she's up for it.

2. She loves music!! She is 100% MY girl. ;)

3. She loves church and EVERYTHING about it.

4. She loves to shop and looks amazingly cute in skinny jeans.

5. I love that she likes to try new things, volleyball has been her new thing and she is pretty good!

6. Even though she is almost taller than me she doesn't rub it in........YET. :)

7. She isn't trying to grow up to fast.

8. She is a great big sister and helps me out with the boys a lot.

9. She is still the most forgiving person on EARTH and is quick to do so.

10. She has BIG heart and genuinely loves and cares about everyone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WE LOVE YOU.

Leif's Grandma, Lenore Snapp turns 90.

April 8th Leif's Grandma turned 90. We went to Kansas to celebrate with all the family, we had such a great time. It was fun to be with family and fun to see old family movie's from when Lenore's kids were young. We loved to hear her stories and were glad to be apart of the whole celebration.

Lions and Tigers and Zana OH MY!

Zana went to her friend Libby's birthday and had a blast when she left this is what she looked like.

Jungle Fever.

Noah celebrated his birthday with his friends at Jungle Quest. They all had a great time.

Leif made his birthday cake it is the Omnitrix from his favorite show Ben10.

Happy Birthday Noah........

Yesterday was Noah's birthday he turned the big 7. It really seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with him . He was a HUGE baby and was so happy and easy going. He has grown up so fast and I as I am typing this I am getting all teary eyed. Time seems to be moving swiftly along, does anyone know how to slow it down?

His birthday was on Sunday and Leif had to leave on a business trip so we celebrated on Saturday. He wanted to go to IHOP for breakfast so we did, it was pretty tasty. Then we went home and Leif, Zana, Noah and Ewan played outside in the snow and built an igloo then later friends and family came over for presents, cake and ice cream. It was a great day.

Here are 7 things I LOVE about my little Noah.

1. He still bounces EVERY WHERE he goes.

2. He wants to be a snake catcher or dinosaur bone finder when her grows up.

3. He is still his mom's best friend.

4. He is an awesome big brother to Ewan and protector of Zana. Don't hurt her feelings or he will have some words with you.

5. He loves everyone no matter what.

6. He has the most beautiful brown eyes they melt my heart when he smiles at me.

7. He is the most caring wonderful little man who really just wants to make every one happy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH WE LOVE YOU!
