Update with Tye's Birthday!

Three weeks ago...for the first time this winter, we hit the slopes as a family.

 We geared up at the Breck house and drove a quick 3 minutes to the slopes!! 

 Josslyn was a pro for her very first time on real skis.  

 She seemed to really enjoy the day!

 Nick and I rotated riding with the boys to get them back in the swing of things.

 Waiting.

Resting.

 Chilly!

 Up the chair we go.

Now with Jake. 

Then, we all got sick.  Pink eye, Strep Throat, Stomach Flu, Hacking Cold.

So we ate soup and rested. 

Feeling better, we went hiking/sledding.  The summer hiking trails are now covered in snow so its fun and easy to pull the kids on sleds.

Then, we the incubation periods began ending for the viruses we passed one another when we were all sick with something different...and we all got sick again. 

So sick in fact, that we fell asleep wherever the urge hit us... 

Jake learns Yoga at school and thought it might help he and Joss to feel better. 

Then, cam Thanksgiving for which we changed our plans like a million times as everyone continued to pass around our yucks.  Finally we settled on staying home since Nick and Jake were still terribly sick.  Tye's Big 6th Birthday was the next day, Black Friday, and we enjoyed the day both in Breck and at home.  But, before the night should end...I came down with the dreaded Strep throat!  Errrrr. 

We did get to do some more sledding at Breck's big sled hill.

The boys went at frightening speeds. (next time helmest will be a must...thankfully everyone made it out unscathed) 

And Tye got to open his birthday presents and eat his delicious Snowboarder cake.   

Hard to believe Tye is 6 years old.  Our NICU baby, a big boy.  In fact, the most healthy of all 3 kids.   

We love you Birthday Boy!!
