Caiden's First Ski Lesson

Caiden checks out his first skis for class. 
We teach him how to put them in the snow standing up when he isn't using them.

His first attempt on one ski. 

The whole class is ready to go !!!!!!

Now the other ski ........

Snow plowing, how to stop!


His first run on both skis.
Look how fast I can go, I forgot to stop!

Learning to side step up the hill.


First run down the BIG HILL !!!

An escalator to the top. It sure beats side stepping....

Caiden in position ready for his turn.

The big hill is fun, he can do it by himself.

His final run, look at him go!

Thumbs up for a job well done.

The Hester's Come to Visit

This weekend we had a great surprise.  Jacob, Pam, Alex and Dean came to visit us.  We were worried about their trip up the mountain on Friday night, but they arrived safe and sound.
This was Jake and Dean ready to go out sledding.
Pam and Dean getting ready to go.  Dean is so adorable and we had a lot of fun.
Alex had a good time too.  Here he is upstairs listening to his music.  We had time to take a walk and look for icicles, snowball throwing, sliding and even played a dice game in which Alex whipped our tails both games.  I want a rematch!

Pam sliding with Dean.
Of course Papa Jim had to teach Dean all about the Jeep.  I think he will be driving it in no time.
Dean is adorable and we had a great time.
Papa couldn't go without a quick ride with Dean.
Great times, Hope they come again soon..........
