February

Catching up a little bit from the past couple months.  Here are some highlights from February....

 

 

 



SWIMMING

 



 

 Alyssa started taking swim lessons at Donna's Dolphins in Januray.  She has done so well and can now swim across the pool by herself! ( swim, float, swim).  She been in swimming lessons off and on since she was 9 months old and she finally got it.  Donna's is great!

 

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

We went to Steamboat in early February with my family.  We had a great time.  Steamboat had it's 100th anniversary winter carnival and they had a fireworks display on the mountain.

 Alyssa and Mason both tired skiing.  We didn't expect much with Mason since he's so little.  But he liked it for a little while and didn't complain at all.  He liked walking in his ski boots the best, crazy boy! We thought Alyssa might get the hang of it this year.  When we went two years ago she seemed to like it better at the end, so we had hopes she would do well.  She didn't really like it.  I think it was a little overwhelming to her to have 5 adults shouting out instructions.  She did a couple runs, but was pretty frustrated by the end.  I think we'll try ski school next time:)

Cocoa on the gondola

 

 

 

We went tubing the next day and everyone got to go, even Carly! She was such a trooper. It was chilly and very windy going down the hill, but she smiled and laughed and never got upset.

 

                                          Alyssa went by her self a few times and loved it!

VALENTINE'S DAY

                                                         Carly's First Valentine's Day

SNOW!

We have enjoyed the snow this year.  I'm so glad the kids had the chance to play and build forts. Nate was really into building a fort, he was out there for over an hour. The kids thought it was pretty neat, but unfortunately it melted 2 days later.

 Carly wants to be wherever her brother and sister are.  She just sat there and watched.  She has changed so much in just 2 months!

A snowman is next on their to-do list.  We haven't had great snowman snow.  Maybe the spring storm coming in tonight will have some wet snow.
