Ski Days

Oh Snow......where have you gone????? It's been three long, sad weeks I've been off my skis. (This is Mandy BTW- we all know Seth would never spend such an unholy amount of time away from his.....)
Here at the Wallace house we've been suffering from injuries, sick kids, and a plague of snowless days- so there really hasn't been any decent skiing for weeks. sigh.... But here are a few good memories from back in those days before the season went bust.
Seth got me this new coat for Christmas. It's so warm. I'm talking Everest warm. Perfect for freezing little me.

Lesli- the lucky little minx, got some new fatties for Christmas. If only our feet were even close to the same size.......
While our family was in town for Christmas, we took all the kids up for a day. They were a blast. Jeremy & Chris's kids had never been on skis before & they all did amazing.



Well- all is not lost. As I type it is FINALLY snowing again! After a weekend of the most depressing Mountain RAIN you could imagine. Let's pray its enough for some Monday morning powder shots. Here's to all who can join me on the Mountain tomorrow!

Out with the old......In with the new!

Happy New Year!!!!! Oh crap, I am so behind! Well, to say the least, it was a busy holiday season & I'm just barely getting caught up. We only put our tree away a little over a week ago, so now you know how bad it is! Anyway- here are a few peeks at our Christmas. We had lots of family in town & tons of fresh snow, so I'd say it was about as great as Christmas gets! We hope you all had a great season & are slightly more "with it" than myself.



Seth's brother left his Wii at our house for a few days. This is what it looked like 24 hours a day for those 4 days. Thank goodness that thing is gone. The kids loved it, but I don't think anyone changed out of their pajamas for like a week!

These are some pictures from Christmas Village in Ogden. Its a family tradition for us. We went with some of our neighbors & had a great time. It is the only "Seth-approved" light show in town. He has moral issues against other "imposters"- namely, the lights in Layton which he complains have nothing to do with Christmas at all. For those who haven't seen them, they have lots of zoo animals, dinosaurs, things like that. I get what he's saying, but I don't see what the big deal is. The kids love them & that's what matters, right?

I love Christmas Pajamas! So sweet!

Noodle got a new ski helmet for Christmas & he wore it around the house for several hours. He has always had a thing for helmets. He looked so cute.



The new slide belongs to Smurf, although all the kids enjoy it equally. It took him awhile to be able to go down without bonking his head.
