walking, glasses & karaoke

a little shy of 15 months and tess is walking! she has been cruising around forever but she finally got the courage to let go! we love her so much.

i took tagg to get his eyes checked. turns out he is a little far sighted. the whole eyes testing thing was quite the ordeal (especially when she put those drops in to dilate his eyes) but he was so incredibly brave.

now that i am thinking about it, this whole post is about being brave. because last week rachelle and i went to a local bar and sang karaoke in front of a hundred or so strangers! ha. it was very fun and im glad to have her as a sister.

skiing

we took the boys skiing for their first time last saturday. it took a WHOLE lot of preparation getting all the snow gear together but it was worth it. 

sully was pretty cold (it was 15 degrees!) but he soldiered on and did a great job. seeing him get on the little carpet never got old.

he's doing it!

tagg had a complete blast. he didnt complain for one second while we were on the mountain (even when he fell) and kept saying "this is SO MUCH FUN".

it was a cold but beautiful day.

my little skier. 

riding the lift with tucker!

tagg & tucker.

someone call warren miller.

a seriously great day. 

happy new year!

we had a great new years downtown again. i made sugar cookies (the star in this picture. my mom says she cant tell what it is), brought martinellis and looooooots of balloons so we could PARTY.

before craig and i headed downtown we shot confetti guns with the boys and dressed tess up in her party dress.

capital grille.

partying hard.

these big mylar number balloons are my favorite. happy 2016!
