Jess and I took Bodie and Brock skiing. It was Brock's first time and he just skiied right between my legs - it was so fun. They lasted about two runs. Brock was falling asleep on the lift, poor kid! But they livened right up once we got in the lodge for lunch! It was a fun time!

Waaaaaay tired eyes!

Last Friday I went up with me myself and I and had a great time skiing. It was fun riding the lifts up with people and making chit-chat. I called it quits around 2:00pm, was driving down the mountain, listening to the CD that Katie made me of Ingrid Michaelson (that I adore), and before I know it I'm in a snow bank! I wasn't driving but 20 mph, and just veered too far to the right and it just sucked me in! Crap. I wish I had a picture. I was st-UUUU-ck. I got out and started digging my tires out - like that even helped. I reluctantly called Jess, irritated that I got myself into the situation. All I wanted was to listen to my tunes and drive nicely off the mountain.

Jess: Hello?
Me: Hey. I'm stuck.
Jess: Hmm?
Me: My car is stuck, In the snow, On the side of the road.
Jess: Babe, you're not supposed to hit the brakes. e v e r. You're supposed to accelerate....
Me: I can't say I did either - I just got too far too the right and it sucked me in. (right? I ask myself...Not even able to still remember exactly what happened and how I got myself in this predicament)
Jess: I'll be right up - Can anyone hit you?
Me: -Well, ya, I guess - but they're doing a pretty good job of passing me right now.

So to make a long story short - Jess gets there (with three boys in tow) as the two forest service guys are driving away, and had just finished telling me - "This is all we can do for you - you'll have get a tow truck".

About 30 min. later I'm driving down the mountain w/ the boys in the back seat, Jess following us. Nothing my guy can't do! Seriously. My car was buried!

Me: I'm so glad you guys came up and helped me! Dad is my knight in shining armor!
Bodie: I'm shinny Mom!
Me: Ya, you are bud.


Very cute.
