Ski lessons for Austin and Halle

Posted by Picasa

We decided to sign the kids up for ski lessons this January up at Pebble. Austin is our little skier. The first day of lessons he ate his lunch in 10 minutes and said to his Dad, "I'm going go catch a few runs before lessons start." He was off and loving every minute of it. Then a few weeks later they went up on the bigger hill and he decides that him and his friend, Ty, are going to go up during lunch break and ski. Well Austin gets on the lift and Ty decides he doesn't want too so Austin continues on to the bigger hill by himself. He had a blast but also had to have a little lesson on skiing by himself. I guess I can say that our money was well spent for him. He is daring and loves to push himself.
Halle, on the other hand, is a little more reserved. The first week was hard for her because she fell a lot more than she wanted too but she kept going. Austin was great to motivate her. Then the second week came and she realized that she could go down the whole slope without falling. That was a big deal to her. Then the last week she was skiing without her edgie wedgies. She has decided that skiing is fun too and wants to go again! There are even a few pictures that we caught that she has a little grin on her face. It is always fun to learn a skill and get good at it. Hopefully, we will get some good snow this spring for them to continue to enjoy it.

I have a climber!

Jett has learned a new skill this week. He climbs in and out of his crib. I think it is time to make the switch to the big bed, don't you? I am afraid one of these times he will break a bone with how he throws his body over the rail. I guess I have to finish getting his big boy room ready for the switch. I keep talking to him about how his baby sister will need the crib but he keeps telling me that it is MY ROOM. Hopefully, he will not miss it too much!! Wish me luck.

It's a GIRL!

Well the title says it all. It's a GIRL. That gives us an even 2 and 2. I can't believe that I am already 5 months along and can tell the sex. Halle is so excited - you cannot wipe the smile off of her face. I surprised the kids and Padre with a donut with a it's a girl sign. Austin didn't know what to think but I think he will love another little sister more than he thinks he will.
All in all everything looked healthy and good. That is all we pray and ask for this time.
