Hunter's b'day and Gparents arrive!

Just a few pics to commemorate Hunter's 1yr b'day and some silly pictures of both kids. Hunter is walking everywhere now and is quite content to play and roam around on his own. We still keep a watchful eye as he's particularly attracted to our plants, computer, TV remotes, etc! His favorite thing to do is turn off the cable TV! Argh! Maddie continues to amaze us w/her vocabulary and has learned to ride her Dora tricycle. Grammy & Pop Pop arrived to watch over the kids while we go trapzing over to Hawaii for a few days! Woohoo! We'll post some pics from the trip when we return.

Tongue out=focused!!

Enjoying the new bath toy b'day presents!

Still in the 'warmup' period when picking up Grammy & Pop Pop.

Only 16 more yrs!!

Pop Pop did the dishes....and bubbled Maddie's nose!

Winter Getaway

Bill's squadron leases a ski cabin at Mammoth Mtn every winter, so we took a couple days this week to enjoy it. Its always in high demand on the weekends, so we elected to try it w/the kids during the week to avoid the crowds. It was a good time, even though we didn't get to ski. We did spend plenty of time chasing the little guy around, as toddlers and wood-burning stoves don't mix! The bedrooms weren't heated at night either, so sleeping bags were essential. All in all, it was good fun for all, and a new experience for the kids.

Safe to say there was lots of snow!
