'Tis Ski Season

 Today we dusted off the ski's and headed up to Snoqualmie Pass.  Here's little Bean on her first pair of ski's (the same ones Cousin Jackson and Dylan wore).  She was excited to put them on right out of the car.

 And here's Miss D snowbunny in this years snow gear hitting the slopes like an ol' pro - a big smile on her face the whole time!  Right out of the gate Dylan and Matt hit the chairlift.  Oh little Bean didn't like that at all - first she got mad that SHE didn't get any poles so you could only imagine what happened when seeing dad and big sis riding away in a chairlift!  Boots, gloves, and hat all came flying off in a big ol' hissy fit.  So after a few runs Dylan and Matt took Asa up the Magic Carpet and all was well again.

Not bad for a first day up!  Dylan's suppose to start lessons next week but since there's not much snow we can only keep our fingers crossed!

Family Bowling Night With The Clark's (The Other Clark's)

 To celebrate the New Year with The Clark's (the other Clark's) we decided to go bowling!  Not sure if the girls were more excited about actually bowling or getting new shoes to wear.  And who knew they made shoes Asa's size!

 Here's Aunt Liz getting a high five from Jackson.

 And Uncle Ben showing us his fancy bowling skills. 

 Asa is taking it all in for her game with Uncle Ben.  And look at those little bowling shoes!  How cute are they!!!

 Asa's turn!  They have these fun little bowling racks for the little kiddo's to use.  Asa wasn't so sure about it all at first but then quickly got the hang of it especially with big sis showing her.

Okay so is it bad when your 2 year old scores better than you?  Yes, I came in last place - heck someone had to do it!

Santa Photo 2014

Okay so it's been over a year since I've posted anything to the girl's blog.  I apologize to all those who still even check the blog.  First I was waiting on photo's from Matt then life with two just got a hold of me and I've been running.  Lots has happened in a years time, which I'll get to soon to catch you all up.  In the meantime, we wanted to say Happy Holidays!

Asa's First Beach Trip - A Taste Of Sand

We were suppose to go camping this past weekend to shake off our Maggie blues but Miss Asa woke up with a really bad ear infection so no go for us.  So glad we opted to stay home as it wasn't fun for any of us!  Saturday we took the girls to a fun beach to get a little fresh air.  Dylan was off swimming (crazy girl that she is), Matt chasing after her, and Asa and I played in the sand.  It was hilarious to watch her discover what sand was.....

"Oh I'm feeling a little better, nice to be outside, look at me I'm sitting on a blanket like a big girl.  Oh a blue shovel, how fun."

"Oh wow, what's this stuff, interesting texture.  Maybe I'll use my shovel."

"Uh, who needs a shovel, my hands are faster.  This stuff sure feels funny and kind of good."

"I do like how it feels, very interesting."

 "Hey, wait a minute where did it go?  It was just in my hand a second ago!"

"Oh I'll just get some more.  Man look at my socks, and now my pants, this stuff is getting everywhere."

"I wonder how it tastes?  My Mom keeps telling me not to eat it so it must be really good.  I'll sneak a taste when she's not looking."

"Hmmmm, kind of crunchy, gritty...  Oh brother, now it's really all over my pants."

"Okay I'll try a little more when she's not looking.  'Hey Mom, look it's Dylan over there in the back ground.'"

"What? What you looking at?  Moi?  Come on I didn't do anything, just here playing with my blue shovel."

"Honest Mom, just me and my blue shovel here, nothing else to look at."

"Oh this black stuff streaming out of my mouth, oh that nothing (spit spit spit)."

"'Oh come on Mom, can't a girl have some fun.' Oh boy this stuff tastes horrible (more spit) don't tell my Mom!'

And you can only imagine what her diaper looked like later on!  But the girl was having fun and believe me we all needed a little fun!

Asa So Proud

I walked in to get Asa up from her nap to find her sitting up soooooo proud of herself!

So Proud

Well look who's sitting up at the big table all by herself!  And very proud of it.

Asa's First Swing

Family Fun

We took a little family fun adventure on Saturday to visit our friends the Sabins - who were visiting their family in Gig Harbor. Our trip started with a fun ferry boat ride (D's really into ferry boats right now) to Southworth. Then we stopped off at a Farmer's Market which had a great wall that you could color on.  We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant where Asa had her first taste of beans and loved them. Then we headed to our friend's beautiful family home with pool, beach, tennis courts, basket ball court and a ton of people!  It was lots of fun!
