Mammoth Getaway

Two weekends ago we headed up to the mountains for some fresh air, snow and fun times with Steve, the kids, my dad and Joanne. It was so nice and we had the most beautiful, gorgeous weather on Friday and then the flurries and snow came mid-day on Saturday through Sunday afternoon. Our drive home Sunday afternoon was also gorgeous. Crystal blue skies and crisp cool air! Amazingly beautiful!

Over the course of the weekend we enjoyed taking a hike and playing on a local playground, sledding, building a snowman (daddy's job), throwing snowballs, eating out, watching movies, putting together a puzzle, walking around the Village and seeing the cute town of Mammoth and taking the bus up to the Main Lodge to checkout the mountain and the Gondola up to Canyon Lodge. Overall, a fun, relaxing three-day getaway.

Thanks to my dad and Joanne for organizing the fun trip (and Gary and Sue for the accommodations-- they were perfect!) :)

How high the snow was outside the condo with Grammie looking on.

Picture Friday: The Dancer is back

We finally enrolled Katelyn in a new dance studio. (She had previously taken two sessions of dance through our local city program.) How sad is it when your 4-year-old starts to ask almost daily. . .

"Mom, when are you going to sign me up for dance?"
"Mom, I thought you were calling the lady today..."
"Mom, this is cute (at Target looking at the dance clothes display). Can I take dance?"
"Mom, I WANT TO TAKE DANCE!"

Okay, okay, I got the hint! ;)

She officially started a week ago Monday. Now I can get her off my back!!

Here is a retro picture taken on her first day of dance in 2007. She looks sooo small here... compared to now.

I can't wait to see how she does in this new class. Oh and she gets to be in a recital in July. How cute is that going to be?!
Have a great weekend!
