Our Precious Mornings

Oh how I will miss our quiet mornings next year when you're gone at school.

They're growing up, but still lil' princesses at heart!

And nothing fills the house with more joy than their ballerina music and laughter!

Here comes the next tennis super star

It took you a year to want to take lessons... you tried it today... and you're begging to go back first thing tomorrow!! YAY!

A special crew

You ladies were some of the first of the mega-Jesuit crew of kiddos, that now equals 18 kids!  And we got them all together this Tuesday, and it was so wonderful.  All of daddy's high school buddies, wives and kiddos in one place.  Hope some of these are lifelong friendships for you girls like they are for your Daddy!

My little monster

Glad to have these crazies home for some entertainment!

Daddy/Daughter "Campout"

Another one on the books, but this one was extra special because Daddy got to bring both daughters!

The highlights were horse back riding, riding on the front of the top drive and swimming in the pool in March!!  

Your brother

Doesn't do this too often, but it's the sweetest thing when it happens!

Yup, you're crazy!

It's COLD!!!!

Breck 2017!!

I'd like to call this highlights, but it's more of an entire album.  

This trip has too many priceless moments to pick out just a few.  These girls couldn't have been more happy to be in the mountains with their cousins and could not have been more excited to SKI because they "LOVE SKIING!" Be still my heart!

I obviously couldn't be more overjoyed than to have our kids fall in love with my very favorite sport.

It was a wonderful week watching them so excited to walk about the door in the morning to hit the mountain, then spend the afternoon skiing behind them as they showed off their new skills from ski school.  Mollie graduated to polls this year, and Kendall graduated to keeping up with Mollie.  The big bonus there meant we could actually all ski as a family together, and all three of us laughed as we watched KK dance, then get in her tuck to beat us down the mountain!  We even added an extra ski day because the kids didn't want to stop.  We skied through the trees, just like my sis and I used to do, and capped off the trip with a wonderful family lunch mid-mountain while basking in the sun.  I literally couldn't smile any bigger as I type this and reminisce :)

In addition to the skiing, we had a huge crew, including both our girls, for snowmobiling to the top of the Continental Divide at Georgia Pass... we had a family variety show, where our family did an adaptation of Moana, their new fav movie and their Nana and Papa did a game show...we went for hikes along the river behind the house.... we hugged our cousins "like 100 times".... and Daddy and I enjoyed some nice day dates of heading to the top of the world and skiing down the beautiful bowls while enjoying the bluebird skies.

Here's the album of all I described above and more.  A week we will never forget!  Thanks so much to Nana and Papa for hosting one of our very favorite traditions and one of the best weeks of the year.
