Obviously, I've been catching up on my trip to Guatemala on my blog, but a lot has happened since we returned. So I'm doing a quick post and including some recent pictures of the kiddos. First off, a few weeks back, it was Dr. Seuss' birthday so they had all kinds of fun festivities at Jacob's school. One day, they had to dress up as their favorite Dr. Seuss character, so Jacob dressed up as Thing 1. It was hilarious going into school that day. There was one girl who dressed up as Cindy Lou Who and her hair was PERFECT!
A few weeks back, we got a nice big snowstorm, so the kids were chomping at the bit to go sledding and build a snowman. So, we of course did both. I got a quick snapshot of the snowman before it got annihilated by Jacob and the neighborhood kids going at it with a baseball bat! :)

Moving on, Dallin and I recently went skiing over at Tahoe at Alpine Meadows. It's been about 7 years since the last time I went skiing and I've really only been a handful of times in my life AND I've never actually taken lessons. So we decided I would take official lessons this time around. And I loved it! A few observations: skiis are A LOT shorter than they used to be... like at least half the size, which makes it soooo much easier to learn to ski. I had a ball and am hoping to go at least one more time this ski season, if I can.

And lastly, today is my Evan's 2nd birthday. I absolutely adore this kid! He is such an easy baby (except the recent attitude adjustment that comes with becoming two!!) Seriously though, he hardly ever fuses at all. When he wakes up in the morning, he never cries. He always just sits there until we come and get him. It doesn't matter how long we take... he just sits there and waits patiently!! He has Dallin's looks and personality and I am completely enamored by him. We have family coming into town this weekend, so I'm sure I'll have some fun birthday shots of him and the cousins to post sometime next week. So, happy birthday to my big boy!!
