this is my favorite position...on my booty!
Here I am up, but not really for long.
I am still up. I got better as the day went on!
Here is Emma, going down the little slope.
Emma is getting better at skiing too.

All in all a great day. Sore, bruised, and beaten up, but still standing!!

Spring Break

So, it is that time of the year. Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, grass is growing, and we are skiing. Well, I actually took a snowboarding class today. Yeah, you heard me, and I am now hooked! The guy, Jared, said I did an excellent job. But to be honest, I just wanted to look cool, so that is why I chose to snowboard. What are the odds that we would come skiing? Slim to none, until Misty called and asked if we wanted to tag with them. So here we are in Pagosa Springs Colorado. Now here is the crazy thing. In our little class of 10 today, only one girl was NOT from Arkansas. CRAZY. One girl was even from Conway......CRAZY!! I was so shocked, but then again, we never do stuff like this, so it was out of my realm of thinking that there would be more people who drove this far for skiing!So, this is the best one of me comin down the mountain. My instructor is watching on in dismay, cause you are supposed to keep your arms to your side. Oh well, it was so fun. The kiddos went to ski school too, but I did not see them much. Chase had skied before, so he went out on his own, no class necessary . The plan tonight is to put the kids to bed, and hit the hot tub. I so love this Colorado lifestyle, but I must say, I miss being at home.

Come on Spring!

Where is the Spring weather that we all love. This Arkansas crazy weather is about to drive me up the wall. I am ready for shorts and tank tops, but instead we are wearing fleece and long pants. In a couple of weeks we are headed to Colorado for spring break. I am excited about the trip because I have never been, but that is about it. I hate the cold, and especially the cold and snowy. The best part of it, is that Chase LOVES to ski. This is his ideal trip to take. My favorite trips are to the beach in the summertime. It is a good thing that this year we will both get to go to our favorite vacation spots. I am hoping to have fabulous pictures from our vacation in the snow. And hopefully soon we will have the fabulous warm weather here at home, that I miss so much on these cold days.

Okay Traci, you win!

So I have this friend, and she is great(a little bossy) but I love her. Tonight she told me that I need to update my blog. So here it is just for her.

There is nothing really going on to blog about. I am subbing tomorrow at the preschool where Emma went, and Abbi will go next year. Yay money! I have started lifting with my bossy friend Traci, 2 nights a week. Which honestly has been so much fun. We laugh so hard, that you could hardly call it working out.

It is funny how friendships grow and blossom in adulthood. Traci and I have known each other for 15 years, but were not really good friends until the last year or two. I was nice to her(and those of you who knew me in my younger days need to know that I have grown up to be considerably nicer, than I was in college)but we never hung out. She is so stinkin funny. I mean I literally laugh so hard with her, that I am worried about bladder issues. We all have those friends, you know the quiet ones, that when you really get to know them, they take on a whole new personality. Traci has been a motivation to me to do these half marathons, and that is a huge undertaking with me. I am quite the procrastinator/ slacker. I would never have run Austin if it were not for her, and I surely would never run another one, if she were not there cheering me on. And trust me, she will probably always be at the finish line cheering me on.
So here is to friends that you can count on to get you into life changing experiences, and then make you pee your pants reliving the highlights of it!! Love you Traci
