Random Nut-shells since Christmas

We're going to have to call this Part 1. I hate blogging because I save up the good stuff for so long I could stay in this chair all night long and not give even close to a full report. It's 11:30 and I'm yawning to the moon. You'll notice some obvious omissions, but enjoy this snapshot and I'll try to get to Part 2 before Christmas rolls around.

The Snowbunny performed beautifully in her Ballet School's Ice Princess.

AND this is where it's obvious that I don't carry a nice camera and I'm a cruddy photographer. However, I'm a big believer in keeping memories no matter what they look like.
Jono (and Coach Mark) finished strong in Baseball {got out in the semi-finals tonight, lousy loss} and Soccer {good little team that learned to pass and score with finesse}
It was sad to see the season end because Jono plans to follow the Larsen mold and move on to football.



Mr. Howboy in his element, D.I.R.T, where he makes spider houses and dinner and digs for worms.
Easter 2011. The Egg Roll. This tradition will live on because little boys will never tire of throwing eggs at each other.

Payton and Jono had their very first ski season this year. Mark and divvied up the duties. Might I say? I remembered I LOVE SKIING! Park City Mountain Resort had plenty of the season's fabulous snow and they were not disappointed. They came home from their first lesson braggin' about how good they were. As always, we humbled them...only to ski with them and find out, they were right. They definitely held their own following us all over the mountain. The interesting discovery was the juxtaposition of their typical personality roles. Strong and fast goes to you know who and timid and "hang in there" goes to his bro :) They are both looking forward to another season. Us too...
My adorable sunshine. First thumb-sucker. First to sleep like a dream {didn't think it would last back in Dec. but it did!}. First tooth {April 21st}. Just started crawling {June}. Giggles out of control for his crazy siblings. Gets, "he is the best baby," where ever we go - Yes, we know. LOVES on his mama and papa just like babies should.
Our Little Miss has started posing for every picture. Pointed toe, hands on hip, titled head...is this what all girls do?

Jono's favorite Christmas present was an iPod nano. People thought we were presumptuous to assume a then 7 year old could keep track of a miniscule valuable. It is in his ear more than not. There are nights we have to remove it from his ear after he's gone to sleep. He and Payt looked so cute sharing their tunes to some hot cocoa after school.
