Life is not Fair!

So I know that I really shouldn't have done this, but it was just so funny! After a absolutely beautiful day skiing at Beaver Mountain in Logan, Utah Avery had a meltdown! We couldn't have had a more perfect day except that fact that Dave couldn't go because he injured himself SERIOUSLY in the crazy sport of snowshoeing two days prior to this. That is a whole other story that I have been meaning to post but just haven't gotten around to it. So Avery really does amazingly great all day skiing for a four year old. One small problem is, she follows just about anybody in front of her, so Myah goes off a jump, she tries to go off a jump. This was the case with this temper tantrum. We were on the cat walk and Myah found a little lip to get a little air off going up hill. Avery can't quite handle this yet, nor would she have enough momentum to continue on the cat walk so I snagged her right before she went off the little tiny jump and this is what happened!

Crazy Christmas




Who would have thought in Portland, Oregon we would have received 16+ inches of snow and it stayed for more than a day? This "Arctic Blast" had a myriad of effects on the locals-namely school and Christmas travel. Needless to say it put a little pinch in our schedule when were scheduled to leave for Utah on Tuesday the 23rd, but I-84 had not been open for three days, it finally opened about nine that morning. At that same time I-84 and I-86 were closed by Snowville, Idaho and Pocatello, Idaho. Due to the weather and various other circumstances we bagged the trip for a few days and celebrated Christmas at our house for the first time ever! Whoopee! We headed out for Utah on Friday morning and finally got into Logan about 12:30 that night. As we left Portland 84 by Snowville was still closed, but fortunately it opened a couple of house before we got there!
