Bring on the snow


So Reid has always been a "hot weather guy". It starts snowing and he starts the whining :0)!!! His dream place to live has always been Arizona (Well if he's really dreaming then it's probably Aruba). Don't get me wrong, he does enjoy winter activities, but summer activities ultimately trump them all. He decided to take Addison snowboarding for the first time. They both had a blast, but I'm positive Reid formed a deeper love for it then Addison. She fell a lot, but was a trooper and rode for almost 6 hours. She did say that next time she wants to try skiing, so that is what we will let her do. Reid though says he will never downhill ski again, and actually has his eye on a board he plans to buy next week. Heck he needs it before we hit the slopes next weekend. Next weekend we are taking all the kids to Bittersweet. Kooper and Kendall are both excited, and we are putting them in a lesson to learn to ski. Keeping my fingers crossed that this can become a fun family activity for years to come. We have a week long trip to Boyne the end of this month. They have lots of stuff to do there, but we are hoping to get lots of skiing and boarding in. If Reid had his way he says he would be on the slopes all day, every day at Boyne. We are going to check out the water park, snow shoeing, tubing, and other family friendly stuff.

Kindergarten Roundup


Tonight we had Kindergarten roundup for Kendall. She will finally be at the same school as Addison, and will also be participating in Spanish Immersion. She is excited, and thinks her new teacher is nice and pretty. The only thing that scares me about my children speaking fluent spanish is all the conspiring they can do right in front of me since I thought taking German in high school was the cool thing to do. It is amazing how much they learn in so little time. Kooper will also enter the program in 2011. Right now we are trying to decide if we want to send him to Spanish Immersion Preschool or FUN Preschool next year, we'll see where we are meant to be. We have had a great week, very busy, but always entertaining.

Here is something that had my laughing this week:

Me: "Hey Kendall, where did you go with Daddy today?"

Kendall: "That one store with the blue roof and white house on it."

Me (laughing): "Oh, Lowe's"

Kendall: "Yeah that's the place."
