Break time

This pic was taken in mid-February.  Chris and I went to Jackson Hole with good friends Adrienne, John, Carol, Mark, Abbie, and Steve.   It was a nice break from parenting but look forward to the day that Lindsey enjoys skinning up 25 short and enjoy the same view. 
 

Does Sarah sit on the potty?

Lindsey has a book about a girl named Sarah.  The book starts with questions like "does a zebra sit on the potty", " does the giraffe sit on the potty", " does the sheet sit on the potty", and finally the question comes "does Sarah sit on the potty".    So far, the answers Lindsey gives to all these questions is "no".   But Dad brought home a potty from the store a couple months ago.  Its currently decorating our living room.  Maybe sometime soon the answer to "does Lindsey use the potty" is "yes".  While I find myself thinking about these future milestones, its bitter sweet to think about how fast these phases fly by.

  

First mug shot! Uh oh!

Lindsey's first season pass. 
For those that don't know, Chris picked out the name Lindsey from Lindsey Vonn, the U.S. Olympic Team alpine ski racer.  He came home from biking one day when I was pregnant and said, "What about the name Lindsey, like Lindsey Vonn.  She's an awesome skier and she's hot". 

Training for the 2030 Winter Games started this week, but it may need to go on hold for awhile.  Chris took Lindsey up with her new ski pass and the snow pups and were told "no snow pups at Bogus".  They got kicked off the lift...plan "B"?
 

Hi, Hi, Hi

Lindsey loves the i-phone.  This picture makes her look like she's 3, not 1 1/2.  I was at work talking to Chris the other day and he handed the phone to Lindsey.  She said "Hi", "Mama", and a few other unrecognizable words.  Really?

 

Fire Station Fun

Lindsey and I visited Dad at Station 14 a few days after Christmas.  We visited in October but Lindsey wasn't quite sure what to make of the big trucks.  We talked about the fire trucks on our way to the station and made siren sounds.  When we arrived at the Station, Lindsey was pretty excited about the trucks and she now understands her Dad is a fireman.  When we got home, we opened up the fire station and fireman book and she pointed to the fireman and said "Dad".   

 

 

 

Uncle JP

J.P. and Sarah visited just after Christmas for a couple of days.  Lindsey and JP were checking out Lindsey's new etch-a-sketch.  I love these two cuties! 

 

Magic Carpet - Skiing - Take 3

We took Lindsey up to Bogus to skate ski on the 30th, but then decided why not try the Magic Carpet with the Snowpup skis.  We started below the magic carpet.  Chris held Lindsey between his legs and they skiied down together.  After a couple of tries, she started laughing and saying "more" "more".  We decided it was time for the Magic Carpet at which point the skiing was just a side attraction.  The Magic Carpet was more exciting.  The only complaint was standing in line for the Magic Carpet but who likes standing in lift lines anyhow?  We can only hope we have another backcountry skiier in the house.  We all had fun and we'll be back!
