Super Hero, Princess or Both?
Skyler cracks me up. One minute she wants to wear only pink dresses and the next she is telling me she wants to have a Super Hero birthday party. I took her to the mall last night and her brain just about exploded as we walked into the Disney store. She ran from princess to princess tripping…
How do you say no to puppy dog eyes?
Leif and I were able to celebrate Valentines Day early this last Friday since the actual Love Day fell on a Tuesday. We went out to dinner at DiStefano Winery where they hosted a 5 course dinner paired with wine. Our friends Jon and Maria came with us and we had a wonderfully romantic…
Mom and Liam Day
We were driving home from church today and it was gorgeous out! Not a cloud in the sky. Leif says to me "this is the day to take Liam skiing - you should take him!" It was Super Bowl Sunday and we were throwing a party that afternoon/evening but Leif was adamant and Liam was so excited. It did…
Super Hero Family
So the kids decided to dress as wonder woman and batman today - since Christmas, I'm not sure a day has gone by without them dressing up. On the way home from Red Hook, Liam decided that we would be the Mr. incredible family instead. Skyler, very seriously says to Liam, "no Liam, can't you see…

Liam started basketball this month. Actually, I think its been just as much of a learning experience for me as it has been for him! He is learning how to play basketball and I am learning that I am one of those crazy competitive moms who is totally out of control at practice! Leif has actually…
I LOVE YOU!!!
As I was leaving for work this morning Liam came to the door and yelled to me (I was warming up hue car) - "I love you mommy!". I yelled back but he did not hear me. He started yelling at the top of his lungs - "mommy!!! I love you! I love you mommy!". He really wanted to hear it back. Meanwhile,…
SNOWMAGGEDON!
After a beautiful week of sunshine, the snow hit just as they predicted (for once the weather guys got it right!). 8-10 inches they said - and that's exactly how much sits on our back deck. I LOVE when it snows! The kids LOVE when it snows. We can never get off our hill and suddenly time slows…
Skiing with the Jensen Boys
The day after Christmas was a Jensen Boy (and mom) kind of day. Grandma Stephie stayed back to have girly time with Skyler and Leif, Liam, Grandpa, Mike and I headed to Crystal. Liam skied all day and didn't even want to break for lunch. Leif and I skied with him for a couple hours in the…
