Rodney's Adventures

Highmarking in La Plata Canyon, just north of Durango. It doesn't look too steep from this picture, but believe me - it is!
PS - Rodney, when are you going to take me so I can ski it?

Snowmobiling with the guys from Sledneck's. They are the one's who were in the X-Games, record setters, and in the movies. To bad they didn't have the best sleds for our area. Rodney said they didn't get to do any tricks. No backflips today!
OOPS!!!!!!
The classic Rodney look!

He says it's warm, but it looks chilly to me!

Ballet Recital

The pictures are kind of blurry, (especially Lauren - she didn't hold still, even for a second!)but you can get the idea. Lauren danced to Sleeping Beauty Fairy Princess, but unfortunatly the music didn't work so they danced with out it. The little girls stole the show anyways.

Maddie's group danced to Hakuna Matata, but again the music they practiced to didn't work either. They put in the Lion King version, but it just wasn't the same. Oh well, that's show business!! Maddie is so graceful and did a great job. Miss Stephanie even asked her to lead the little girls in their dance!!

GREAT JOB GIRLS!!!!

Being Goofy

The girls couldn't resist tackling their hairy dad!! They were being crazy! And Tanner thought they were nuts. He just wanted to play his Game Boy.

Maddie's Birthday

After school, I picked up the girls and took them to ballet. Miss Stephanie taught the girls a dance, and let them play instruments. After we had cake - a white angel cake, just like Maddie!

Skating behind the Malt Shoppe

Tanner being a cool dude in his X Games sweatshirt!
Lauren performing a balancing act! - When we were skating she told me "I have to go potty BAD!" I took her over to the edge(there are no bathrooms around), pulled down her pants and made her pee on the ice. She thought it was really cool to make yellow ice, and had to pee "really BAD" two more times while we were there!
Maddie, our future ballerina on ice!

What would winter be without a day spent on the pond - ice skating! Kristin and I took the kids to the pond behind the Malt Shoppe to go skating. Tanner spent most of his time on his knees and behind, but he did really good. He even started skating backwards. (Not bad for his second time on skates.) Maddie did awesome. She gets so frustrated with herself when she can't get it perfect. Kristin told her it is like ballet on the ice and it seemed to click with her. Lauren had double bladed skates and it really helped her. She was a little scared at first, but by the end she was doing it by herself.

After skating we went to the Malt Shoppe for a snack and, of course, ICE CREAM!

Ballet

Maddie and Lauren have ballet on Thursday's after school. They both have so much fun with their teacher, Miss Stephanie. Lauren concentrates so much, she even sticks her tounge out! Maddie is so graceful with her long lean legs, and Lauren is doing so good, especially for only being 2 1/2! Tanner loves to go into the aerobics room and play with the balls while the girls are in class.
