Well, what can i say about this weekend? It was quite interesting. On thursday, Nathaniel and I made yet another trip to our beloved Perfect North Slopes for another fun day on the slopes. The weather was PERFECT, as was the snow. It was the best day of the year for snowboarding so far this season. Here is a picture of us before we went:
And another:
And this is us after 5 straight hours of snowboarding:
Ok, not really. :) Actually, this was after 5 hours of snowboarding:
This is a pretty picture of the slopes at night. They were making snow at the time, which caused it to look a little foggy.
So, we picked up the boys (Ryin and Adan) for the weekend, expecting to have a lot of fun sledding and going to a new place called "Eatza Pizza" (which is kind of like chuckie cheese). Plans changed, however, when we got a real dose of Parenting 101. At 4a.m., Ryin came into our room and vomited all over the floor. The poor little guy was up all night making trips to the bathroom. Needless to say, we didnt go sledding. Even if we wanted to, the snow had melted by then anyway. We spent all of saturday trying to entertain them while staying home so Ryin could feel better. I must say, he was quite a trooper through the whole thing, and only complained once or twice. When we put them down at 8p.m. the next night, Ryin was asleep within minutes.
The rest of the weekend went much better. We took them to church with us in Greenwood, and they behaved pretty well during children's church. Then they had a great time playing games at Eatza Pizza- until it was time to leave, that is. Our next lesson of parenting was never to let the children choose their prize when you only have enough tickets for about 10% of the toys in the display case. They threw a royal fit because we couldnt get them what they really wanted. I ended up picking out some things, and once we got home, they were perfectly happy with what they got: 1 sun tattoo and 3 pieces of candy each.
The boys had a lot of fun playing on Nathaniel's video game chair. Here are a couple of pictures of them:
Well, I think thats all for now. Please Please Please leave your comments. I love reading them! Love you all!

I love how you can see Nathaniel's toe in the picture. That is beautiful! LOL. So you only took 2 pictures the whole weekend. I want to see more. You can barely see adan. But I am glad they had a wonderful time and welcome to parenthood! Love Mindy
I agree. . .load those photos! You can skip the projectile vomiting ones though.
Glad to hear you had fun. We may drive to the mountains this weekend. You have probably heard about the storms in California. We got lots of rain, but the mountains all around us are snow capped to the tune of 10 feet deep in places! The weather is turning gorgeous for the next week at least with temps in the mid-seventies and sun, so we will go to the snow for the morning, and finish the day on the beach. Cool, huh?
Love you-Dad
