Rental

As you know we are renovating my folk's rental...little did we know we would actualy be living there. So the big push is on to get it move in ready by next week. Good thing we had some great little helpers. Here is Sheradia conditioning trim for me while I stain. Now it is down to Libby again to polly and install this week.

Awards

An exciting week. Zephy was awarded national fitness award at school as well as a student of the quarter!! Then Sheradia had her Girl Scout ceremony and recieved about 5 new badges. Way to go girls!!!

We took our snorkel gear with us and the girls used it about twice a day. They are now very comfortable and confident snorkeling in the water. This is great for us because it is something Scooter and I enjoy when on vacation and previously the girls were freaked out about the breathing thing and wouldn't go with us. Now they are even diving with gear on. Look forward to next vacation by the ocean. Another highlight was racing papa. The girls had advantage with those flippers and just beat papa by a hair.

Nana and Papa arrive to a very tired but relaxed bunch. So the first order of buisness was to sit and do nothing for a little while. Next morning we played games while eating bananna chocolate chip pancakes. Yumm!!

Condo part 4

After a great night of snowboarding it got even better...pizza hut then a relaxing time in hot tub while we watched the kids swim for an hour. I couldn't believe they still had energy left. And no we did not eat all the pizza...at least not all at once.

Condo Part 3

Goofing off while we have hot chocolate in the lodge to warm up before round 2!!

Condo part 2

As part of Zephy's Bday (in lue of a party) she wanted the family to go night boarding while at the condo. So here we are. It was the first time the girls have boarded under the lights and they thought it was pretty cool. I didn't last long and spend more time in the lodge than out. :(

Condo Part 1

My Folks have a condo in Idaho and dad has a hard time leaving over the weekend when they are the buisiest so we got the oportunity to use it for the weekend. Mom and dad came down Sunday and we spent the day with them and part of Monday before heading home. It was a great relaxing time had by all.

The first shot is of Zephy getting a couple of late Bday gifts which she wanted to wear right away. Scooter and the girls setting up a game of settlers. And the view from the condo with ski field we visited latter across the lake. Beautiful day!

Ugly Sweater Party

Chirstmas Party

Casey had his annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party at our house this year. What a ton of fun!!!

Sauna

A little over a month left in this rental and Scooter and the girls finaly decide to try out the sauna in the basement. The girls were excited just for the adventure but totaly didn't understand the point of it. :) and they were so glad when I opened the door to let in freash air as you can see on their faces.

Not a drop left

I think Emma thinks we go to the kitchen just for her. :)

Girls homemade gifts to us.

While spending time with Nana the girls made gifts for us. We got matching snowman made with papa's socks and rice. And nana halped the girls make these amazing pastel pictures.
