Snowmobiling & Sledding In Circles

The boys and I went snowmobiling at Grandpa's house for the first time (me too!) over the weekend - We had so much FUN! There was even a little snowmobile that Carter and Dillon got to drive all by themselves, holy cow are we lucky or what?!

Dillon only crashed once, into a little tree. I only crashed once too, yes, me. Dillon and I took the big snowmobile down the street together so we could go fast - the kiddie one only goes about 8 miles per hour - so down the street we went and we got up to 25 or 30 miles per hour and I think that was more than fast enough, for me at least. So after I turned the thing around to head back home I tried to go up a little snow hill. I didn't give it enough gas and wasn't going fast enough up the hill and we went over on our side. It really wasn't a big deal, we were in soft snow - but Dillon was so P/Oed (really, he was pissed) at me that he walked all the way back to the house! HAHAHA! He wouldn't go with me again after that....oh well.
Yeah, see that picture below? All smiles. Its OK when he crashes, but not when I crash.
Here we are sledding down the driveway hill, I was on a little plastic disc and decided to record my ride. Round and round we go! I crashed into a snowbank at the end of my ride, you see my feet come up at the end and hear me go "ugh!". So I suppose that makes two crashes for me :)


Thank you Grandpa!!!

1 Tooth Less

Dillon lost his first tooth over the weekend...finally! My mom gave us this super cute little tooth fairy pillow a long time ago and when I was somewhere around 17-18 years old and waitressing at the Big O in Corvallis (where Jim and I met) I used to get $2 bill tips and silver dollars from time to time. I saved every one of the $2 bills and coins so my future children would get them from the tooth fairy! I've been saving those for so long now, it was so fun being able to finally do it!

And I just like this picture of Carter :)

You Never Stop Learning

I'm learning alot from these two books and had to share them :)


Its such a kick that I'm learning just as much from the children's book as I am from the grown-up's book. Why does it always seem like its the simple things that we need to be reminded about?
