Sledding with Eli

We were up in the Uintas this past weekend and took Kjella and Eli Nordic skiing. David ended up pulling the sled with both Kjella and Eli in it. When all was said and done, everyone had a great time. I think we may even be able to talk Kjella into going again someday ....

'My mom is totally trying to talk me into riding in the sled with Eli. I'm not so sure that this is a good idea'.

'Oh my, look at them go down the hill, that looks super sketchy! My mom is totally oblivious to the danger. She is just looking at the stinking camera!'

'Woah. I see them launching off jumps into the air. Once again, mom is totally oblivious'.

'Seriously mom, it isn't funny. This is serious business.'

'Well okay. I could maybe give it a try but only if we go REALLY slow and all corners of the sled must be touching the ground at all times.'

'Oh great. Now Eli is trying to talk me into it as well ... I can tell he has his thinking cap on ... '



''He's telling me that he swears that we'll take it easy and there won't be any funny business. Hmph. I've heard that before.'

'Well off we go. Hmmmm ... maybe this isn't so bad after all. Yee-haw! Cruising along!'

'Looks like I'm having a lot more fun than Eli!'

'Uuf! Spoke too soon! That bump kinda hurt!'

'Oh yeah! Stop this train! We need to get off! My bum is killing me!'

Birthday Girl!

We had a wonderful birthday for Kjella with lots of great friends and family here! Thanks to everyone for celebrating the big numero uno!

Woah! Check out my new pants from Sarah and Eddie!

Mom and Dad gave me fun bouncy balls.


Gotta have a few monkey cupcakes for the party. Tia Sarah did a fabulous job with the eyes :)


It's a baby train!
Kolby, Henry and Maysa partied all night with Kjella.

Visitors

We have had an eventful month with lots of visitors. Grandpa and Grandma Stenehjem were out in February as well as Tio Eddie and Tia Sarah. After the Stenehjem crew left, the Kranz family came into town. Kjella got to spend lots of QT with her aunt Nickie and uncle Luke while Judd and Zane were hitting the slopes. They timed it just right as we received 24 inches of snow the day they arrived :)
