Just Say Sock Monkey!

My parents came to visit over winter break. The theme for the visit seemed to be centered around sock monkeys. My mom spent nearly every day making us sock monkeys, something I have been meaning to do for two years now and haven't gotten around to it. Isaac has taken to dressing his up in all of the little Build a Bear workshop clothes he's gotten for various other stuffed animals. We love our sock monkeys! It was a nice visit. Thanks mom and daddy! Miss you!

My dad also spent time helping Isaac with his reading each night. Click on the link below for a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvk8uyK6FOY&feature=channel_page

From Mountains to Ocean...

During winter break we managed to do some ski trips and a trip to our favorite beach. Max spent a good part of our beach day sneaking up on pelicans to take their photos, so I can't take credit for those photos.....

The usual carnage at xmas.....

Remembering How to Ski

Martin and the boys started the 2008/2009 ski season and have made three trips up the mountain already! After working on the bunny slopes for a bit, they tackled the beginning and intermediate slopes. Isaac is a little speed demon.....he is already off skiing on his own and riding the lift by himself! Yikes! You can see their wobbly beginnings by clicking on the video links below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZqZUPaHrE0&feature=channel_page
