joe & shane after coming down the black diamond

the kids 1st time down the mountain

here they come

they all did so awesome!! there was only 1 person missing from the class...guess who?

i was so proud of this gal! she wasn't so sure about this, but she wants to go back tomorrow!!!

skiing is hard work!! bryan crashed as soon as he got on the van!! :)

**side note: for all of my fans...those of you who placed bets that i wouldn't make it past lessons, you win!!! :) there was no way i was gettin' on that ski lift!! too bad we don't have a video from my lesson, i feel certain we could have won the $10,000 on america's funniest videos!! i didn't quit, i just wanted to take pictures!! yea, right!!! :)

On the Road Again...

the girls were awesome!! i was the only one whining!

:)
CHOO CHOO!! momma where's the choo choo?? choo choo...momma where's the choo choo...choo choo...momma where's the choo choo?? choo choo...momma where's the choo choo??

the view from our room.

jackson looked like the kid from a christmas story!!

do we look happy?? seriously, this is hard work!!!

Snow Much Fun!!

i thought i'd show this picture, since i'm not quite as excited as these guys. after 48 hours of driving, the thought of being out in the snow all day, and the fear of injury, i'm not feelin' the love just yet. but i know by tomorrow night i'll be singing a different tune!! i hope!

oh, by the way, i've already had my 1st fall. at a stop in wichita falls, i carefully walked across about 12 feet of ice, no exaggeration!! once i made it to wet ground, not icy, i busted it!!!! good times!

TRA - MAM - PO - LINE!!!

reagan reading about his last Christmas gift...a trampoline...

how many aggies does it take to put this together?? :)

don't worry...the net will be up tomorrow!! look at that snow on the ground!!

Merry Christmas...Again...

isn't the table beautiful??

reagan was so excited!!

Merry Christmas!!

For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord!!

Glory to God in the highest,

And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!

~Luke 2:11 &14

Merry Christmas!! I hope you have an incredibly blessed day!

Christmas Morning...
