The Year of the Ski Bum

-


Xavier has been begging to learn how to ski for the past 2 winters and this year I relented.  Royal helped me buy and fix up some great ski equipment to get Xavier started and Royal and Karen have donated a ski day each to teach him the ropes as a beginning skier.  Xavier is a man with a passion!  He's gone on his own with a few friends a few times already and he has only owned his own skis for less than a month!  I think he loves being in nature with good friend, seeing beautiful vistas, plus the adrenaline of speeding down a snow covered hill is pretty awesome.  I'm so glad he can find another fun hobby and he is so excited to share it with friends and family.

Dustin and I took Loyd, Xavier, and Maeve to see one of their favorite bands, AJR, in concert in Salt Lake.  We went to see the AJR: Somewhere in the Sky concert!  It was so GREAT!  We had a fun listening to all the opening bands and hanging out people watching.

He's really quite good at them and picks up the plays rather quickly. Loyd also went in for his 18 month old well baby visit. Everything is looking good for our young man. He is tall and skinny and seems to be ahead of the curve on his developmental milestones. The pediatrician was impressed. Rebekah is turning into quite the social butterfly. She loves to play with her friends. She would have them come over every day, all day if she could. When they have to go home she turns to Loyd and spends the rest of the afternoon telling him what to do. She taught him a few games with some carpet squares and has him trained on how to play a good g...
