Ski Day!

I think we are the only one's in Utah that don't know how to ski. They should revoke our Utah card's! But Kevin loves skiing and my kids have never tried - so we went for a ski day!

Getting used to the ski's

Lauren taking a break - she skied well for her first try

Kevin and Mark were the more experienced skiers. So they were buddies on the big runs.

They tried to talk Kevin into going down the mountain with these on - but he could see very well in them. But he didn't mind posing for a picture in the parking lot.

Always a goof.

Everyone had a great time and although they were all sore and exhausted - no major injuries.

I think they've caught the skiing bug - they would love to go again.

Before......after

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this hair after the play. His teacher asked all the kids to not get haircuts until after the play was over. It was even bugging him after a while.

 It's actually not as long as I thought it might get - it just kept getting bushy.

There's my handsome Alex!

(so thrilled mom is making him get photo's)

Another actor in the family!

Alex is our soccer dude - he eats, breathes, sleeps, everything soccer and has since he was 5 yrs old. His wardrobe is all soccer, his room is decorated with his years of trophies and medals. He even has his own 4 ft tall "fat-head" picture of himself playing soccer decorating his wall. 

So, needless to say, he surprised us when said he wanted to try out for the school play. And then he surprised us at how much fun he had and how good he was. Now he is Alex the soccer dude and Alex the actor dude.

 Alex is on the right side. The play was "Into the Woods." He is Rapunzel's prince and he is singing "Agony" with his friend Wayne who is Cinderella's prince.

 

Great job Alex! It seems you've caught the acting bug from your older sister and brother.
