Eat Dessert First!

We ate dessert before lunch today.  :)

Colter's 1st Ski Lesson

Colter took his first ski lesson yesterday, up on Red Lodge Mountain.  I am so proud of how brave he was trying something new and kind of scary...he is my child after all.  He made it down two bunny hill runs, and did quite well actually!  He just couldn't get himself to do any more and his instructor was slightly worn out from all the pep talks I think, so we called it a day.  I asked him if he wants to go again sometime and he said "maybe when he's 6."  It went so much better than swimming lessons, we'll call it a win!  :)

Thanks to the lady that offered to take a picture of all of us together, so nice!

He may have been paying too much attention to his mommy cheering him on...and not looking at where he was going. Oops!

I couldn't resist this classic :)

Our New Little Buddy, Sawyer

We welcomed Sawyer, a mini golden doodle to our family on February 1st.  We love him so much!  What a sweet little pup.  He is so calm for a puppy.  He lets the boys love on him.  Winston and Tiki even tolerate him!!  All 13 fluffy pounds of him.  He follows me around where ever I go.  If I'm cooking, he's laying on the rug at my feet, if I walk to the table to give the boys their food, he follows me....back and forth.  

It's kind of a funny story.  I've always said I wanted my next pup to be a golden doodle and we had been talking about it for someday in the future.  Colter got it in his head and wouldn't let it go...I told him we needed to save our money (for a golden-poodle as Colter says it).  So Joey told me the week before we got him that he had to go out of town for work, something he actually does have to do fairly often, I thought nothing of it because to reach the biggest crowd, he has to do certain meetings on weekends or evenings...so when he got home that night and I welcomed a puppy sitting at the door instead of my husband, I almost fainted...no really!  Turns out, Joey picked his mom up on the way and drove to a different state to pick our little fella up!

Colter named him Sawyer after the boy on Dolphin Tale, a movie he really loves.  I thought that was special and a cute name so Sawyer stuck.  Here are a few pics of our new pup.

Happy President's Day friends!  I hope you all had a great Valentine's weekend and are enjoying the day off (I am so happy to have the hubs home for the day)!  I had such a fun weekend.  My sister, her husband, her 3 girls + a friend came to Billings and spent the weekend.  It was nice having some girls in this house for a change!  So of course, we did nails.  I was inspired by this post from one of my favorite bloggers, and though I'm no professional, I think they turned out pretty cute! My bracelet was from a vendor on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
