This, That and The Other...

Wow, I can't seem to keep up these days. Maybe it's a little because I can't seem to put my Kindle down, oh, and I'm totally addicted to Angry Birds. So I try not to waist the day, I usually dedicate these addictions to the evenings, but I have a problem. OK, I've admitted that I have a problem, now I've got to get my butt in gear. Maybe it's creative avoidance. Like avoiding the ironing that needs to be done, or the taxes I need to prepare for. Tis Life. On that note, here are pictures from our lives from the last week+...

 

The kiddos opening a Valentines surprise. Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day!

 

I caught Eva checking herself out in the mirror, Our Little Princess!!!

 

WARNING!

Soap box moment. I bought this luggage two days before our trip, not only did my luggage get delayed on a lay over, but it arrived broken. Grrr!!! Seriously, you'd think if they(Delta) charge to check your bag, they might actually take care of it. WRONG!!! So they offered me a credit voucher for the next time I fly with Delta. Oh, so thoughtful!!! Blah!!!

 

On a happy note... JJ is a reader!!! He has been doing reading lessons with his Dad for some time now. Over time we've seen amazing progress. One day he said he wanted to read a "real book", so he read Little Star to the whole family. All 469 words long!!! We are so proud of JJ!!! 

 

Tubing at the park!

 

Saturday, Spencer took JJ skiing for the first time. JJ earned his trip to go skiing by finishing his reading lessons (Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons). Again, we couldn't be more proud!

 

Sunday Eva spent about an hour brushing my hair. Loved it!!! It was kind of like getting a scalp massage. She loves brushing Barbie, and Dora's hair, Why not Mom's?

Day 2 of skiing. Saturday was a cold and wet day, by lunch time Spencer had had enough, so he promised JJ they could go on Monday. Wow, the difference a day makes, by the second trip JJ was getting on and off the lift by himself, and skied down the mountain without any help from Dad! 

Way to go JJ!!!

 

Yesterday  was a chilly day, but there was no wind, so I took the kids out for a bike ride. Of course we had to stop at the park too!
