when left to our own devices
A few months ago the boys and I were home alone while Kari was out for the evening. LT had been taking a golf class once a week after school and wanted to see some of my gear. One thing led to another, as things do, and soon we had our own makeshift driving range in the garage.
Some might question the soundness of the parenting decisions here but I think the fact that the tears didn't last too long after the golf club to the face incident only goes to show how truly brilliant the whole thing really was.

different styles
The boy divided the real estate on their lego table in half and the way the each use their respective sides seems very indicative of their personalities. It's probably somewhat due to age too. But mostly personality.

Kid's open gym
The kid's open gym hour at APEX Movement, a indoor parkour gym just off Santa Fe & Mississippi, is one of the most fun activities we've come across in a long time.

Kiwi Crate
This months kiwi crate was a cooking theme. The boys got to decorate aprons and chefs hats and decorate foam cakes with fake frosting. It was a big hit.

Breckenridge!
Some of my photos (and a video) from Breckenridge including more skiing, ski crashing, bowling, reading together, kid’s menu coloring, and Pink Goat Cheese Salad (Adler's stuffy) getting unloaded from the car with the rest of our gear.

A week in Breck
The first day, Adler was a little hesitant to ski and definitely not confident in his abilities. He fell often. Landon was pretty unsure of his skiing also. Brian and I split up and each took one for the first two days. By the end of the week, Landon had embraced the powder on the edges of runs, began parallel skiing more frequently, and learned to ski fast yet in control. Adler's confidence grew, his turns became more natural, he was able to recover from little bumps, and he skied a few blues. The best part, however, was that the four of us could ski together.

Another Dino
Often when I pick up Adler from story book club, he carries out a large dino drawing on a white board. This week was no exception.

Grandma's birthday
Grandma's birthday is New Years day. We were lucky enough to have most of us together to celebrate (just missing my older brother and his family). Steve and I decided to cook a mediterranean spread for a big family dinner. Landon with his pita bread smile and Brian with his pink fluffy feathery tiara were definitely some of the humor of the evening.
