Jaycee and Ethanism's

Just a little taste of the conversations that go on in our family...

Jaycee, "There are places in the world that eat monkey brains. Be careful if you go there. You'll be eating monkey brains before you know it."
Ethan, "If I go there for a field trip I'm going to tell them I don't want dessert."

After getting mad at Jaycee for bugging Ethan she told me, "It's my duty to tease Ethan. That's what big sisters are supposed to do."

What Jaycee told me as we made a Valentine cake together, "One day you will have to pay me to eat one of my cakes."

Snowshoeing with the Family

We thought it would be fun to try something new this year and since we live in Utah we need to enjoy all of the snow sports right? We decided to give snowshoeing a chance. Mike and I loved it. We went up to Alta Ski resort and tackled a groomed trail for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. The problem was the kids wanted to ski and there were skiers everywhere whizzing by us. "This is dumb." "All we are doing is walking in some weird shoes." etc.....This is what we got to listen to the entire time. Oh well. At least we can say we tried. Ethan did get some enjoyment seeing me try to climb up an embankment, then falling backwards. I was dangling upside down by my snowshoes off the side of the trail. I'm only glad it made him laugh. Too bad Mike and Jaycee were ahead of us and missed it.
