Emily's Science Experiment

Check out this video I made...



So cute.... and smart.

Fireplace... upstairs....

It's just the bare-bones now...
The top part will be the tv and the bottom will be the fireplace.
There will be cabinets with doors on the bottom of the sides and the top arched parts will be decorative nooks which match the other architectural details in the house. The fireplace will have a stone surround...
Can't wait!!

Winter Park...

We had a fabulous day on Sunday at Winter Park. It took just about 1 1/2 hours to get there and it was an easy drive. The kids were in ski school again for the whole day so Lance and I enjoyed exploring Winter Park and Mary Jane. We picked them up at 3:00 and were amazed at the progress they made. The both were able to turn and stop which are two big skills. We were really excited to ski a few more runs with them. Emily did not need help at all this time, she even led the line a few times. She loves skiing through the trees. Henry is a daredevil and was looking for bumps so he could jump... (Yikes, I'm so afraid for when he is 12)

Here are Lance and I at the top of Winter Park about to ski over to Mary Jane. They are two separate resorts but you can go between each on the mountain.This photo shows in the distance a chairlift that takes you to the rim of Parsenn Bowl. We went up there and found very differenct conditions. See the rest of the photos below!! The rim is 12,060 feet up.... above the tree line and on this day, in the clouds. It was snowing pretty hard and we were happy there was a blue trail for us to ski down!! This is the chair we rode up on that you can see in the photo above...

Lance and I are really happy with our re-introduction to skiing and are already planning another day trip -- probably to Copper Mountain this time as we have heard great things about that resort.
