Ruidoso for Spring Break!

Weston's actual birthday was during Spring break this year.  We decided to leave that morning for Ruidoso with the Smith crew.  So we had a quick breakfast and then jumped in the car and headed west.

We had a fun birthday dinner for Weston at a restaurant there in Ruidoso.  

The next morning it was time for the slopes....well for some of us!

First was the LONG wait for rentals and ski school.....

This smiling face was ready for anything!

All the kids did one full day of ski school.  Logan and I kept Lucy at the lodge that day and watched when we could at the kids in school.  Shane and Hannah hit the slopes :).  We had some tired kids that night!

As you can see...the snow wasn't so great!

The 2nd day we just skied with the boys.  Shane skied with Aubrie and sweet Hannah and Gracie kept Lucy at the house.  It was a fun day of teaching our boys!!  Challenging but fun!

We LOVE skiing so getting to finally teach and then actually ski with our boys was the best.  We think they are hooked and we can't wait to go again!

This was Tyson both days after he finished skiing....literally asleep before we were out of the parking lot :) 

Lucy had big fun with Gracie and Hannah....

And we might've forgotten sunscreen.......bad parent award.

FUN trip!!!  We can't wait to go back and stay longer!

Soccer, Septic Tank, Baseball, and Broken Window :(

Tyson is loving soccer...so fun to finally get to see him on the field!  He loves it and says Saturday is his favorite day of the week.  Pops has promised him $1 for every goal he scores so he is quite excited each week for his payment :).  

These 2 are either like this or screaming at each other :)......but they are super cute together!

We had some MAJOR septic issues awhile back....Pops and my Uncle Frank got the awesome job of digging up the septic tank so they could come pump it (SO gross) and then put in new leach lines.  Oh the fun of living in an almost 60 year old home!

these 2 :)

A few weeks ago I was heading somewhere and forgot something.  I backed up the driveway really quick and wasn't paying attention.  The tree won :(.  The worst part is that it was safety glass (which is prob a good thing) but it kept cracking.  I had to go get Weston and I was stopped right in from of the school picking him up.  An older kid closed the door for him and slammed it.  Well then a huge piece of the window came crashing down.....not so good.  As we drove the rest of the day bits would just fall off.  We finally got in to get it fixed and all was much better!

And lots of baseball these days.....they both love it.  One team is undefeated and the other team hasn't won a game :).  But fun to see both older boys doing something they enjoy!
