We went skiing for our first time over New Year's and we did pretty good. Tom had been skiing before and was actually pretty good but the rest of us were first timers. The girls both wanted to snowboard so we convinced our bro-in-law and sis-in-law (thanks Bart and Kelly) who are both very good to come and teach the girls, and Tom attempted to teach me. I thought this would cause a few fights with Tom getting frustrated with me and me not being very good but I did ok. I have to admit I did have an embarrasing fall when we first got there on the teaching hill going up the hill on a "people mover" I fell right into a hole and lost one ski and my poles, Tom did get my pole but just kept moving on, I think pretending he didn't know me, but it got better as the day went on. The girls did awesome and so we decided to go again. This time the girls did awesome and improved a ton I stayed pretty much the same, I'm kinda a chicken in my old age I guess, but I had a lot of fun. Rylee can almost beat Tom down the big hills and Cam can now go down without falling more than a couple times. It is a great family activity and the girls are hooked. I had to put this pic of Rylee falling because I think it may have been the only time she did. It was nice and warm which explains Tom's blinding sweatshirt but it sure made it easy to spot him.

I have just read your experience about skiing and am laughing my head off. It is so hard to learn and I think your description of Tom acting like he didn't know you was so funny! It sounds like fun and we want to go sometime. Maybe I can dig out my stonewashed jacket and brown ski pants!
Love the three Hotties in front! Who is the freakishly tall dude trying to break into the picture though? It's great to see you guys... what a gorgeous family. You know everytime Janey gets any type of communication with you she's on cloud 9 which only means great things for me if you know what I mean. Therefore I suggest we move closer together. :) Say "hey" to Tommy GUN

Oh, a Family Day on the slopes... this is why it is worth living in Utah... one of the very few reasons... :)
Darling pics! So fun to see your little snow-bunnies!
