Procrastinator!

Straggler. Dawdler. Slacker. Foot-Dragger. LAZYBONES. Any way it's said, I've put off this post for far too long... Here's the update:


January usually ends up being a very busy month in our little world. This is probably due to the fact that I go crazy with the Post-Christmas Bargain Shopping, the New Year's Re-Organize/Re-Decorate/Restorative Home Makeover-ing, and the month-long Birthday Celebrating! What can I say, we're always looking for ways to make January a little less "Crap-u-ary"


Or, it may be due to the fact that we don't get in much snow-play during December, so we panic over what little time we have left and try to cram it all in...

This month we've been teaching Hunter to snow-ski & let me just say, the kid has no fear! The first time we went up to the resort, he got going so fast I literally had to trip him with my pole! (Brett was appalled, but I say only a true Mother will trip her own kid out of worry (or love) as he speeds out of control down the mountain). ;) He caused much less worry on our local sled-hill, which had decidedly less snow... He's already looking forward to snowboarding.
He practises his "moves" on a little cardboard cutout we made. Maybe in the future I should just let Brett take him and adopt the "don't ask, don't tell" motto, in order to save myself from a heart attack!

What?!?

No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you! We did, in fact, spend two full days this month in the pool!
We were lucky enough to go down to St. George and stay in Terry & Vicki's condo over Civil Rights Weekend for some much-needed R&R! The more I go down there, the more I want to permanently move there...Kye was ecstatic to be able to run off some of the energy he's been storing all winter. The sun was shining, pool was heated, and the weather was a good twenty degrees warmer, which was a highlight for the whole family!
Another highlight was spending a night of karaoke-fun with some of my favorite ladies! Thanks girls for being such good sports! I can't wait to take Brett down there for the karaoke contest coming up!!
As for more Hunter facts, he loves to pretend he's "Musketeer Mickey." I think he probably put on his Musketeer costume at least once every single day this month. He "holds hands" with his imaginary "Princess Minnie," and even asks me to give her food when we're eating, make room for her on the couch when we're reading, and buckle her in when we're driving.
I'm hoping this is normal behavior...
All in all, January has been another great month for us. Now, if only February can go by just as quickly so we can get even closer to Summer!
