Chase's first word is Banana. He has been saying dada and nono for awhile, but his first official word is banana. But he will only say it one time for me in the mornings when I go to get him a banana from the shelf.

Our landlord comes and snowplows our driveway and yard. Not as frequent as we would like, but this last week the plows could not keep up with all the snow. I feel like I am living on top of a mountain. The plows here create ice roads instead of completely removing the snow off to the side. So you drive on layers of packed snow. So driving around has been much slower, but extremely beautiful. 
Cole taking a jump at the snowpark at Appi ski resort last Friday.
Brad, Doug, and Cole enjoyed a fun powder day at Appi. I am pretty sure they had a blast on the mountain with no kids, no wives, and no work to worry about.
Brad and Doug looking good in the powder. 
Night Boarding at Schichnohe this last Wed. We were some of the first boarders there that night so we enjoyed making the first tracks down the mountain. We had a great time and you can't beat skiing for $10.

This was after our first snow storm, we had two more big storms this last week. We have a couple feet of snow outside right now. 
Chase and I with his puke bowl. Poor little guy got a little stomach bug. I now understand the meaning behind projectile vomiting. I have been doing laundry nonstop this past week, but thankfully Chase is all better now. 
Nice Edge-Here was a double black diamond we hit at the end of the day. I pretty much back edged it the first half down to keep from going too fast.
Valerie(UCC Doc), Randy(Husband to UCC doc), and Tig's Butt. As you can see we pretty much had the whole mountain too ourselves. It was great. Especially since we were creating our own tracks in the couple feet of new powder that was on the mountain. It was sick, fresh, narley, wicked, awesome..I think I did a good job of describing how much fun we had.
Tig pushed me into the powder right when Monica took the picture. I should have known. I somehow maintained a graceful fall into the powder while smiling the whole time and looking at the camera.
Love the new board outfit Cole. Cole and I were also loving our new boa board boots and flo bindings. As Cole always says, When you look good, you board good. Or you at least look good when you fall. No Chase today, he stayed home with our mamasan Hayo.
Crystal (UCC nurse) and I getting off the lift, hoping not to crash into each other. We made it that time.
Sporting the Utah beanie, of course.
Our friends Crystal and Josh looking good on the slopes.
