more catching up spring break

A family tradition that we've kept for 3 years is to spend Spring Break in Utah. Our favorite place to ski is Alta! It's great! Mostly locals, small classes, great teachers and awesome powder.

Kennedy in class and Lauren and I on the slopes! She's a great skier! Fast and Furious(stay out of her way)! I witnessed her and Chase crashing this year and laughed until I cried. The kind of crash where feet and ski's and poles go flying.

Chase with his cousin Kade.

Notice Noel is not in these pictures? He was the brave one to carry my huge camera down the mountain. This is Kennedy at the top of the slope. Her first time down the mountain by herself. YEAH!!!!

While we were in Utah I was able to see my Aunt Di and Uncle Bob. My second parents!! Absolutely adore them!

My sweet friend Miriam from China. My cousin Tiff and her adorable family.

This year we went tothe cabin for Valentines. We took our good friends the Breinholt family. We woke up to fresh snow the next morning and had a ton of fun!

McKenna kissing Frosty! Chase and Cameron having a snow fight.

Tuck getting stuck in the snow.

Mom with sweet Kennedy..ohh and the cute snowman with hair in the background.

Lisa and Garin...Noel and I at the Valentines Feast at the Clubhouse.

My sisters also came for a visit... guess who's the oldest?!?

Eat, Sleep & Dream about Basketball

This has been a great Basketball year for Chase. During the Spring season his team were the champions for the East Valley YMCA. The played the championship game against the West Valley on The Suns Court! This was a dream come true for Chase. He's been playing Club Basketball for 3 years (year-round). He has grown so much this year and we are so proud of him!

It has been great having Season tickets to the Sun games. Chase is always eager to go or will stay up late to see a game. If we go to the game with him we're not allowed to leave early. We are almost always the last ones there so he can shoot hoops. It's going to be fun watching him grow in this sport!

Life

It's been a long time since I've blogged. I've felt really guilty! It's something I really enjoy doing. But, the last few months I've been in survival mode. I knew if I spent the time trying to catch up. It would take me away from doing the things that really needed to be done. Sometimes life comes at you so fast! The call of being a mother never ends. There are always things that need to be done and places you need to be. Sometimes we just can't do it all! I'm so grateful for my sweet family. Thanks for putting up with me! I love you!
