Riding at the park

Breckenridge 2010

Our annual ski trip with the Thomasons was a blast. We went back to Breckenridge again this year and got to stay in an amazing house that was just feet away from the gondola ride to the base of peak 7! Jack liked riding the gondola, playing with cousin Ellen, and trying out a hot tub for the first time. Also, we took Jack and Ellen to the Breckenridge Rec Center's indoor swimming pool. Most of the pool was only a couple feet deep with splash buckets which made it perfect for toddlers. During our stay Grammie Jane watched Jack and Ellen during the day so all the adults could ski... way to go Grammie!!
The snow at Breckenridge was a perfect mix of groomed slopes and powder.... a great week of skiing.

Takin' a baby to a bar!

Matt, Zoey, Jack, and I went to Scooters for lunch today. They have awesome jalapeño hamburgers! It was a little strange being at a pool hall with my toddler but the kids loved it. Its by far the most "kid friendly" place I have ever taken Jack to eat. Its like a park and restaurant all rolled into one!

St. Patty's Day playdate

Mom's birthday lunch

Arthur and Jack took me to Perry's in Clear Lake for my birthday lunch. It was so good! We all ate their famous Wed. special, a huge pork chop with special Perry's applesauce on the side. Jack loved the side of applesauce and mac-n-cheese. He wasn't too sure about the giant pork chop. Jack gave me really awesome birthday card with a "#1 mom" sticker inside. Arthur said that Jack spent a lot of time selecting just the right card. He seemed a little disappointed that he didn't get to wear the sticker though. :)

St. Patty's cupcakes

Here are my St. Patty's Day cupcakes for Jack's playdate tomorrow. I think I need to work on my shamrock skills a bit. :)

Zoey's 2nd Birthday Party

Jack helped his friend, Zoey, celebrate her 2nd birthday this weekend. It was a great day for a birthday party at the park and Jack gave the blue icing cupcakes 2 thumbs up!
