January 2012 - Week 2

Bestill my heart, where did this big girl come from and where has my baby gone?

Almost six...

 And where has my sweet ballerina gone?  Gymnastics is the flavor of the month around here.

*sigh*

 We have spent the last 2 weekends in McCall doing our favorite winter activities.  Even skiing despite the pour showing of snow in our area.  The bunny hill and some of the bigger runs at Brundage aren't too bad, still not great.  We don't have any ski pics because our hands were full with 3 kids on the hill.  Thankfully Meredith is LOVING to ski this year and is whizzing down by herself, and riding the chairlift by herself too.  Meredith and Taelor got to ride the lift together and though they were the shiz.

Anyway, the Porters built an awesome sledding run down our yard to the dock. 

More like an I luge to be exact.

 Happy before sledding injuries and frostbite!

 She's tiny but she's a trooper.

 We haven't seen a cloud in these parts in some time.

 We had to post a human blocker at the edge of the dock or else the kids launch into the air.  Sadly there just isn't enough snow to make any walls!

 I think this is when the girls started whining.  Looks like the cabin is on fire.  Probably shouldn't leave Quinn in there alone napping while we sled.  She's a terrorist I tell you.

 Sledders!

 Oh look, my back.

 Oh look, no one helped mom out on the corner.  Ice + bottom = ouch.
