Matt and his mom took Nicole and Corinne skiing last Saturday. They loved it!! This was Nicole's second time this year and Corinne's first. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and Corinne came home with the cutest racoon face. Nicole gets to go again in a few weeks with the 5th grade. She's very excited to ski with all of her friends. Matt hadn't been on skis in over 12 years but it must be like riding a bike. I'm looking forward to joining them next year when Claire and I aren't so inseparable.
What fun! Brian will be jealous. He loves to snowboard and talked us into taking him a year ago. Julie did it for a day and is not that interested in repeating it. I got on skis after 20+ years. It does come back (like the bike), but the muscles in the legs do not!!! I'll have to send Brian there to get his taste of the snow.
Yeah, skiing is like riding a bike..my only problem is that I wasn't very good at either of them 10 years ago and it proved to be true when I went skiing with Andy a few years ago!

Out of the Mouths of Babes
Matt to kids: "I'm just being facetious." Corinne: "What's facetious?" Matt: "It means sarcastic." Corinne:"Well then just say 'sarcastic'! Why make it complicated? I mean, that's like, why would you say Czechoslovakia when you could just say Kentucky?!" (7/14/12)
Claire: "Grandpa, I want milk." Grandpa: "How do you spell milk?" Claire: Looks at grandpa for a minute and then says, "You tip it!". I'm sure she was wondering why he wanted to know how you "spill" milk. (7/8/12)
"Mom, when I yawn my eyes get sad." Claire, age 3 (3/14/12)
Paige: "Guess what happened at lunch today?!" Corinne: "Lady Gaga came?" Paige: "No. Better! My chocolate milk tasted like pink milk!!" (3/13/12)
"If we had to leave our house and could only bring 4 things I would bring: food, water, a guy who makes electric things work, and the wii." --Paige, age 8 (3/9/12)
"I really wish I had a different mom. One that's nice." ---Claire, age 3 (9/18/11) OUCH!!
5 y/o friend: "My brother's friend is scared of trees and branches." Spencer: "That's crazy!" Friend: "He thinks there's scary stuff in them." Spencer: "Like what?" Friend: "Porcupines" Spencer: "And mini-dragons?" Friend: "Yeah." (9/13/11)

Looks like fun...it has been in the high 80's so no snow skiing for us.

Looks like my kind of skiing weather!! You really can't live in Utah and not teach your kids how to ski! Way to go, girls!! :)
