Locks of Love Part II

Happy Leap Year!!!

Taylor holding the 10 inches!!! We all agreed it looked rather "rodent" like!! Not the new haircut, but the pony tail that I will send in...
With an extra day in the year, I thought it would be fun to do something that I have said I was going to do since January 2007. Inspired by my oldest daughter last year, I donated my hair to locks of love today. It was fun to do something different with the extra day I was given this year!!!

Groundhog's Day

Getting ready to hit the slopes.
A mid-ski hot chocolate/ dinner break!
Bundling back up to go back out into the storm!
Our backyard is a winter wonderland right now!!!
We did not need a groundhog around here to tell us it was going to be six more weeks of winter. It was pretty clear to us when we woke up to 4 more inches of snow this weekend. We decided to take advantage of the snow and try the girls out on skiis for their first time. We had the best time at Bogus Basin. The conditions were terrible (nearly white out most of the time we were there), but the girls had a blast - so did Tim and I although they wore us out big time. They did so well that they asked us to take them on the real chair lift. I was more nervous about this then they were. It is amazing how much easier kids pick up skiing (well most new things in general) compared to adults. We had to drag them off the mountain so I have a feeling we will be going back up to Bogus again real soon. In case you are wondering, that is Tim using a snow blower that was how thick the snow was - we don't own one but he borrowed one from the neighbors and cleared all of our neighbor's driveways with it- aughhhhh what a guy!!!
