Sunday family time and more Evan

Shiny Red!

Steve's new Chevy 2014 Red Truck! 

It's Steve's turn to get a new truck for work. His old truck is 11 years old and all of a sudden needs a few repairs, which we had fixed. We just went looking and before you know it.. came home with a new truck loaded. We were looking at white trucks and then this one caught our eye.. 

Now time to sell the 2003 Chevy Silverado, extended cab with a little over 100K miles and new tires. It's been a great truck with zero issues. Only put on new tires and changed the oil. Plus just had the power steering fixed so all is 100%. 

Happy Smiles. .

Friday.. and look who came to visit.

I just love holding sleeping babies. 

Look Who is a Month Old..

This little chubby boy with the big tummy was a month old yesterday. How time goes by so quickly.

A Good Game!

Our New Family Game.. Logan got us all playing chess. Steve plays the computer every day so he has a huge advantage. Its fun to see the kids doing something other then computer games.

Look who is awake!

I had lunch with Kendra today and look who was up and awake, Evan. He was even smiling today. I wasn't quick enough to take a photo of his smile, maybe next time. 

Look at those cute little toes. 

Birth Announcement

Birth Announcement.. Evan Sankara.. Born December 19, 2013

I'm more cautions then I use to be..

We got a great deal on ski lift tickets at Buck hill today. Ski for $13 from 10 am to 2pm. At 32*F it seemed like the perfect day to go downhill skiing!

I'm definitely a lot more cautions then I use to be out on the slopes. It has more to do with fear of falling and breaking something.

While Steve comes bombing down the hills.. I take them nice and slow. I always forget how to downhill ski. It takes me a few times down the hill to get the hang of it again. If I think about turning too much, I just can't do it and panic. If I don't think too much and just relax I do just fine. 

We both had never considered skiing at Buckhill because it's a hill..and not very long runs. This was a great place to get back into skiing and warm up before we tackle more hills. At least for me it was a much needed re-train myself ski place. I'm still rusty.. moving slowly down the hill but we have fun. I figured we burned about 400+ calories and it felt good to get out and enjoy Monday!

The best part about going on a Monday, not too many people and zero wait for the chair lifts. 

I really hate it when people go whizzing by me crazy fast. I'm sure they hate people like me.. slow... slow.. slow.. 

Now to warm up with some hot chocolate.. I still am going cross country skiing or maybe I should just run indoors to warm up.. I'm soo undecided but I must do something other then nap. 

Family Time..

I do look forward to Sunday night family time.  Evan still sleeps a lot and it's really great when he wakes up for me. He had the cuties little outfit on yesterday. Love the little pants and look at that tummy! He likes to keep his hand by his face so to prevent him from scratching up his cheeks he wears mitts on his hands. He's always swinging his hands like a little boxer. 

Babies make the cutest faces. It's tough being a baby and trying to stay awake. 

Family dinner night. Indian Taco's and a coconut veggies soup. 

Sunday is also Logan's soccer team practice. They pick the worst times to have practice.. right during dinner! It is pretty cool playing in an indoor dome, Feels like summer with the fake green grass. 

Earlier in the day, we did some cross country skiing at the local park. 

New Year and I promise to post!

I've moved the family blog once again for the New Year 2014. I promise to post more often.
