"I've rolled over and I can't get back!"

Idaho City

When it takes longer to get where you're going, when you find out the trail is harder than you expected and when it's undoubtedly colder than you could have imagined...

... well, then you find as many creative opportunities to take a little break as you can :)

Despite its name, Idaho City is NOT a city.  Home to about 500 inhabitants, Idaho City offers up a Boise Basin Gold Rush history and a whole lot of nature.  We took a day to check out the local cross country ski trails, which we will likely not visit again until the little folk can propel themselves without falling down.

Future Competition

I am selfishly grooming the five year old ...
This was Caleb's block of words.  He spelled them all himself and only needed a wee little guidance hooking them together. 
I am SO proud!

Virgin Voyage on Nordic Skis

All went well on the Bogus Basin Nordic Highway!

Jamaican-Me a JCrew Model

Wedding in Jamaica

We went to an Iberostar resort near Montego Bay, Jamaica for Matt and Maggie's wedding.  Matt and Maggie were roommates of Cody and Heidi, respectively, in college, but hey, we're not saying we had anything to do with this hook up..wink wink, nudge nudge.  Apologies, I don't have many pictures of the wedding, but at least I have one of the BEAUTIFUL BRIDE!

Bronco game!

Caleb and I are trying to make the best of a lousy ski season with some b-ball as a distraction.

Happy Wednesday!

Would You Jump Off A Cliff?

I think the question goes like this:  Would you jump off a cliff if your friends did?

Every child in Camel's Back Park was BEGGING to piggyback the next ride from this jumper, a complete and utter stranger.  I'm afraid that does not bode well for us parents.

Proof of Evolution

Wood, Nails, Paint and an Infant

We went to our first Home Depot day WITH Maddie and WITHOUT Cody.  Everyone still has their thumbs and eyes; the craft is, as far as I can tell, put together as intended; and everyone and their clothes came home the same color as when they left.  I would call that a raving success.

3 Months Old!

Maddie hit the big 3-mos the same day the Badgers played in the Rose Bowl.  We were definitely happy to have Maddie to celebrate because the Badgers certainly didn't give us much to cheer about.
