Tanner skiing....

We got out skiing again today and it was so great. A little icey...but there was no-one on the hill and we didn't wait in a line all day which is unheard of. I guess because of Superbowl Sunday and the big ice storm Friday and yesterday people stayed home. Mike and I had a ball, and after we had skiied most of the day we went and got Tanner so he could do a few runs. Doing this with Tanner is like deja vu for me and reminds me so much of all the kids I taught skiing to in highschool - but the best part is I get to do it for my own son. How cool!!! Tanner liked the skiing part and did his most runs yet and was also really happy to see Callie (the nursery coordinator) as he's been chomping at the bit to help her feed the fish again - which he got to do today - so that made him very happy. So it was a great day all around....followed by our superbowl fiesta (see the next post!!!).

Superbowl party!!!

We don't actually follow football as many of you know, so we spent today skiing and loved the empty slopes!!! This evening we felt like we should have a little celebration though as superbowl is just such a big deal - so we got pizza and had a picnic on the living room floor and watched the pre-game show. Tanner had fun pretending he was playing football. It was very cute!!!

At the pool....

Here's a few pictures of Tanner and his good buddy Owen at the pool on Friday. The boys are in swim class together and I happened to have my camera with me and finally remembered to snap a few shots! Tanner's other good buddy Ethan took swimming with us too last fall and Tanner still talks about swimming with Ethan...hopefully we'll be able to swim with Ethan soon again too:)

Mike's Award...

National Life's annual Award's Banquet was last weekend and Mike received an award in addition to two honorable mentions for his work in 2007. It was all very exciting and of course we're very proud of him. He had a great year and should feel incredibly proud. The company got us a room at the Hilton in downtown Burlington, VT where the Award's Banquet was held (hence the hotel room in the background). Here's a picture of Mike with his awards.
