Parenting As Is...

Someone sent me this link to a mom who turned her parenting experience into a song to the tune of 'William Tell'. I have to say, this is one of the most accurate and hilarious depictions of parenting that I have ever heard. Enjoy!

Ooops...before you play this video, go to the posting just below and turn off the music by clicking on the sound icon on the bottom left corner of the video.

Just a few more...

Shayna, Paige, and their instructor Sue.

She decided it was nap time.

Our Snow Trip

Shayna, Josh, Paige and I (yes me too) took snowboarding lessons. Lets just say I didn't quite last as long as the kids did but I do have a bruise and pics to prove that I was out there! Shayna and Paige turned out to be natural snow boarders! They were awesome flying around out there! Josh was great too! He decided to take a pass on the rest of the lessons a little before they were over but he has a stronger interest in butt boarding then snow boarding (butt boarding=sitting on the snowboard and thrashing a hill). All joking aside...they were great! I was very impressed and very proud of all three of them for trying! Way to go guys!

The first picture below is Shayna with Paige right behind her, boarding down a long beginners slope.

Welcome to...

...our life as is!

So here is our first blog entry, inspired by my niece and her dedication to my great-nephew's blogspot. So we've (Shayna, Josh, my great-niece Paige and I) been hanging out in Truckee and at Northstar these last couple of days and have had an absolute blast! We'll be downloading some pics a little later tonight once everyone gets settled. Settled...not a term two teenagers and a nine year old are very familiar with! I was hoping they would be wiped out after a day of snowboarding and snow fights but apparently I misjudged the situation. It's okay, I still have a bit of energy left and am working on coffee and Diet Pepsi to compensate for the rest!

Anyways, enjoy the blog and check back often. Hopefully, if all goes well, we will keep this up-to-date! See you around!
