Carter is 8!

We celebrated Carter's eighth birthday yesterday! Carter, your kind and generous heart makes us so proud. You don't take your friends or family for granted. We know leaving what was so familiar and comfortable behind has been difficult. Although you have been sad at times, you have adjusted so well and embraced your new school, town, and friends with open arms and a positive attitude. You are a friend to everyone, even the polar bears ;). You dream big and your intelligence always keeps us on our toes. We are so proud of you!

Ski!

We decided to take the boys to Red River for their first skiing adventure. First we stopped at Summer's house to drop off Knox with the grandparents. The boys loved having a sleepover with aunt Summer!


Knox had a great time being spoiled and loved on, and we had so much fun spending time with the big boys.

We signed them up for ski school for one and half days and then take a one hour private lesson each. We were amazed at how well they did, how fast they caught on and grateful for how much fun they had!




































In addition to skiing, we hit the sledding hill...one that made me very nervous! But the kids had fun and luckily no one got hurt.









Ryan and I enjoyed skiing the slopes alone for a bit too. Luckily, neither of got hurt considering it has been over 10 years since either of us had been skiing!
