So the true photo is Terry wakeboarding. It is an awesome photo with huge air and nice pose. However, Terry is wearing his famous Speedo. So I spared you all of that beautiful sight and his humiliation and entered the 5th photo which was this one.

Troy and his darling 3 girls. It was taken this summer when we were up AF canyon. We had spent the day fishing, rock climbing, and campfiring. So the girls had obviously had lots of fun and by the time this photo was taken everyone was a little spent. Troy is the best father I know. Well next to my own father and Terry. He loves those girls so much and it shows by the way he takes care of them so well. Since his divorce his life has revolved around these girls. He is an amazing person and wonderful friend I feel lucky to know him and I consider him to be one of my best friends, not just a brother. Thank you Troy for being part of my life. You Rock!

Now I am supose to tag 6 people. But I am tagging anyone who feels like they have the time. Love you guys. This turned out to be a fun one thanks Kristy.

New Truck!

Well I was given the decision after months and months of arguing it came down to this. "Okay Kristi either you sell the burban and let me buy a truck that can pull the boat. Or (long silent pause with big inhale) we sell the boat... Which will it be?" That is what it had to come down to for me to part with my burban. I love my burban and didn't ever want anything other than it. But he did have a good point it wouldn't pull the boat like we needed it to. So after 8 months of watching trucks Terry finally fell inlove with this 2002 Sierra GMC Diesel truck. Yes I will be saying goodbye to my best burban that has treated me so well. But hello to a new family member that has the muscle to pull our favorite summertime getaway (the boat).

Alta with the Kids

The day after boarding Snowbird with Tammie and Ted, Terry and I still had the mountain fever, so we took the kids for free skiing at Alta. It was crazy busy, but we still had fun. Matia took off all by herself, I was so proud of her. She did awesome and didn't cry once. Even though she fell down quite a few times.

Bowdee did awesome! He just got a little impatient waiting for us all the time. He can really fly down the mountain. We went together on a fun run, just the two of us and I made him follow me half the way working on turning techniques. Then we just went all out and I think he almost beat me. If you look real hard you will see Bowdee getting air off this jump.

Treg was so fun to watch. I think if he really wanted to he could be great! He stuck with his dad the whole time and got bored after the first run but I know it will probably be next year that he is skiing on his own.

Me and Terry we are just there enjoying the moment. Reminding ourselves if we teach them to love these things at a young age they will want to go play with us later when they are older. We love being together as a family and couldn't think of a better way to spend our day together.

Boarding on Valentine's Day

Terry and I both love snowboarding so when Tammie and Ted (Terrys sister) invited us to go boarding with them on Valentine's Day we just couldn't resist. The incentive of being with them was enough to get us up there, but to be able to board was a total bonus. So on Saturday we picked up Lakota for a long day of babysitting and headed up Little Cottonwood Mountain to Snowbird. We enjoyed the morning together with Troy. The powder was unbelieveable! I did fine unless I mindlessly followed Terry into the trees, this is where I sink and then my temper rises as I am buried in 3 ft. of powder (no joking). It was great though, I have to say I love boarding with Terry and Troy because they both just hit all the jumps back and forth as I just make my way down the mountain. I call them my little board rats because they are everywhere.

We finally hooked up with Tammie and Ted. Ted's sister Terri was there and she was not enjoying the powder effect. So she and I took off in our own direction so we wouldn't be holding the pros up any longer. I have to say the blister on my ankle from my new bindings was not helping the situation.

Anyway we ended up eating lunch at the Forklift all of us together. Then Terri and I headed to the spa for a quick massage, while the others hit the mountain for a few more runs. I have to say I have never pansied out like this, but it was kinda nice.

Later that night we headed to Hotel Monico downtown SLC for a 40th birthday party for Ted. Ted is an amazing person he is brilliant and very kind. I love being around Ted because he is a real person and he includes everyone. Tammie and Ted deserve each other, because they are both wonderful individuals. Thanks Tammie and Ted for including us in your vacation activities. We had a wonderful time spending it with you.
