MOAST

Mother Of All Ski Trips that is....

We went with a group of five other couples to Park City, Utah to ski a month ago. It was awesome, great group, and a great time was has by all!

The Sams, Osborns, Atchisons, Griffins, Tuckers, and Woods

The first night we traveled via sleigh to dinner at a "Yurt" on the top of the mountain.

It was an experience to say the least. 

cold and cozy

a few "spirits" to warm us up

my one fall of the trip was well documented

Brett had his GoPro to capture all of our amazing skiing (wink wink)

great to spend time with this guy

view of Deer Valley from St. Regis where the ladies had a spa afternoon, it was fabulous. 

Deer Valley is still my favorite place to ski...wonderful groomed runs, awesome lunch spots, and no snow boarders.

So much fun! We had such a great group, and really enjoyed fellowship with friends. Skiing is such a good vacation to do with couples. We decided it would be a tradition :) 

Slip N Slide Fun

One of the most fun parts of our new house is the yard. The back yard is flat and has a great playground area. The front has a big sloping grassy area that is perfect for a big slip n slide. We decided to give it a try last week. 

The Garners overseeing the festivities

I ordered one (husband approved off Amazon) that is 75 feet long. It was the perfect length for the kids.

We also celebrated Holden's birthday as it was two days later. He loved the celebration aspect (aka cake, cookies, and candles) but not so much the slip n slide. 

The Tuckers

The twins have gotten so big! Walking everywhere, I am thinking this is Ellie, but I could be wrong as they look so much alike!

James giving it a try

and Brett...which is when we realized it was not long enough for the adults as they went speeding down and kept going off the slide for -oh I don't know- about 15 feet in the dirt. Bruises, scrapes, etc. were acquired by all. Did this phase them? Nah...plans were made for tripling the length. 

Don't worry I stayed OFF

Holden how old are you?

Close buddy.

Trying it again

This is a perfect depiction of my second born. He wasn't really into the "thrill" of the slide, but enjoyed drinking from the sprinkler, running up and down the hill, and eating his weight in goldfish. 

And when we are celebrating your birthday, do what you want to do.

Happy Birthday to Holden and Jana!!

It is so hard to believe my baby (for five more weeks) is two. James and I told him about the day he was born several times. He loves hearing about how he "crawled" out of momma's tummy (if it were only that easy!!). 

He is so full of life. He loves to cuddle and will hug and kiss you anytime. 

He is just as sassy as sweet. He will adamantly tell me "NO, I not do that. " not caring that there will be consequences. I have a feeling he will teach us creativity with discipline ;)

He calls his new brother "Caillou (most winny kid on tv) Mickey Mouse Osborn Jr." and then laughs at himself. 

I think you are funny too Holds. 

Easter Pics

Easter was wonderful,  and there is as always a lot to say, but not enough time to say it...I will let the pictures do the talking because I want to have them documented. We are in the middle of a big transition...moving. It is a little crazy, but exciting. More to come on that...In the meantime enjoy the pictures! 

Boy Mom

Last week we found out this baby nugget is a BOY! I really thought it was a girl this time (thought boy both other times), so I was really surprised....I am very excited however, as this baby's older brothers make the thought of another rascal SO exciting! James immediately took a practical approach...we have all of the stuff for boys, and he will hopefully fit right in to our "boy" appropriate activities. Everything looked great on the ultrasound, and we are praising Jesus for this gift. We had a little "reveal" dinner to celebrate and find out. I was not going find out until everyone else, but at the appointment, he had other plans. The tech was showing me a "non-revealing" shot, and he flipped to "reveal" EVERYTHING. I said, "IT'S A BOY!" She said....well...(trying to think of something to say, I'm sure) and I said, "It is fine, I KNOW what that is!!" It was a surprise to James and everyone else though.

We played my SIL's game What's the Bump to find out...go check it out here. It is precious and such a fun way to find out.

YEA, A BROTHER!!
