1st time in 19 years

Saturday Feb. 9th, 2008
My dad is 66 and hasn't skiied for 19 years. He wants to get back into it. I hear he was quite the hotdogger when he was young. He taught me to ski and as a young child I remember skiing Snowbird black diamond runs and the Tram with him. Ski technology has changed. Skis are wider and shorter. He wasn't used to this. The ski rental shop rented him too short of skiis and he said he felt like he was on skates and going to tip over. Of course my DAD never complains and I did't find out until he said he was done. Dad said his legs felt like they did when he ran his marathon.
He skied with Jeff and Parker in the morning and Me and Lauren and Olivia in the afternoon.

a LITTLE BIT OF sugar

I used to make suckers all the time when I was about 12 (A little bit of nostalgia).I had this vision of a Valentine's decoration and of coarse nothings better than candy. It doesn't quite look like I had invisioned but Parker came home and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Olivia had fun watching me make them. They all had fun tasting them.

A DAY OF CRAFTS

aBOUT 2 weeks ago Mel came over and we made these paper mache' words. We just painted and covered them with cute paper. It was fun to get together and craft, something I don't do very often.
