Winter 2012-2013

This is the first year that Ava has been able to really enjoy playing in the snow. We have been lucky enough to be able to spend many weekends camping at Hoodoo. We had a great start to the season Ava was beyond stoked to try skiing and snowboarding. We put her on skis one of the first weekends we spent up at the lodge, and she seemed to really like it, besides one small detail... Ski boots are terribly uncomfortable. So ever since it has been a battle to get her back in the boots. She talks about skiing when we are home, but once faced with the opportunity to put the boots on we have a total melt down. So it has been a slow go at it so far, we plan on getting her a snowboard for next winter and practicing some in the house over the summer. I am sure we will have a little snowboarder dare devil in no time, so for this year we were happy with giggles and shrieks on the sledding hill.

Getting ready for the season to come... She has some growing to do to fit into Uncle T's boots :)

Baby Love!!

Ava has always had a soft spot for babies, and since the wonderful addition of Miss Olivia to our lives she has been in Heaven! She has loved holding and caring for Olivia, which is Amber and Cole Pritchards daughter, since the first time they meet. They have grown to be good buds, and I am sure they are planning to torture Amber and I as we did our mothers... But for now we just bask in the glory of our adorable innocent daughters.

The greatest swim play date ever!
