Grooming

Well we had an awesome time in Steamboat Springs. Grandma and Grandpa put on the whole adventure, from bringing us out there to getting up early with the boys to taking the boys on daytime adventures. Carrie and I got to tear it up. We hiked, we skied, we snow shoed and we had beers together. Great times! Our ski trails are a little messy after a week of fun so it's time to settle back down, put the snow cats into action and groom the trails for Spring. (There's a tiny antique snow cat outside of ski haus in Steamboat where this pic of me and Croz was taken.)

Manhunt

Actually we weren't hunting for a man. We went in our backyard looking for tracks from the coyotes passing through a couple nights ago. We found them. Very similar to dog tracks but a little more elongated. We also found some other interesting tracks. Good fun.

Moms away

Carrie is traveling to CA so you can guess what we are gonna be up to. Candy and foosball.

Happy Valentines day

Snow crew

When the snow comes you gotta get out there and get after it. My faithful snow crew.

Little Ninjas

We enrolled the boys in a Little Ninjas class. It's the basics of karate and self defense. This first lesson was about 'focus'.

Belly up...

...To the bar! We wanted a kitchen bar for our kitchen lifestyle and it seems to be working. Belly up and dig in boys!

Tailgate

Today we trekked out into the cold for our traditional Christmas tree tailgate.  We had donuts and hot chocolate.  There was a horse drawn hay ride and the boys only had one meltdown each.  We came home with a skimpy frasir fur but we love it. Time to decorate!  Tis the season.

Chef Nona

That way?!

Well our little baby ain't so little anymore! Other than doing things he shouldn't be doing he spends a lot of his time following his big brothers or pointing at things he wants to do. This pic he's telling me "hey Dad, lets go that way!" That's my interpretation of it anyway. ;)

Biker boys

The Fabulous Biker Boys inducted their newest member today. He can't pedal yet but it won't be long.

Sold

If you didn't already read my FB page now you know we closed the deal! It feels so darn good! We are moving in slowly and still staying with Dale and Judy. On Saturday we will make the final push and bring our mattresses and clothes and spend our first night here. So many pictures to come soon!

Family fun night

The boys nursery school had a family fun night. A bouncy house, smores, donuts, cider and a blazing campfire! The boys loved it! We loved it too! And we even got a good photo. Rare bonus!!!!

Downieville

In the foothills of the Sierras is a 15 mile descent referred to as the Downieville downhill. Always an epic trip. This upper photo is day 1 and the lower photo is day 2.
