Dead Battery = No Pics

We forgot my camera charger in Taos three weeks ago. I tried hard to conserve my battery until they could get it shipped to us. Well, once they delivered it to the Post Office, it sat there for two weeks! They apologized and said they wouldn't charge us for the shipping. However, the pictures I couldn't take during that time are priceless! (They didn't buy it.) Anywho, I have no new pictures, but we've spent alot of time with Avery and Alex, so we're documented through their blog:

The Hutton House

Thanks, Avery and Alex!

P.S. I have my charger now, so I'll be back to normal soon!

Easter Pics

I just found my camera, which had been MIA for a few days! Here are the pictures from our Easter Egg Hunt at Cordillera in Boerne. We met Pop, Uncle Mark, Aunt Andi and Brady there and had a lot of fun!

A Very Busy Week

We haven't stopped since we got back from Taos. (Well, I take that back. I stopped for two days while I had the stomach virus!) And it's been crazy ever since... crazy, but fun! We moved in to our new house last Friday! We absolutely love it! And, we may not have sheets on the beds or food in the pantry, but we're here! We're hoping to unpack our boxes sometime before Christmas. Kenedy had a field trip to the Witte Museum in S.A., started riding her new barrel horse, had her first T-Ball Game, and had an Easter Program and Egg Hunt at school. Hudson was pretty sick (translation: NEEDY & FUSSY) with the stomack virus (don't know where he got it), but is finally starting to feel better. And this afternoon I took Kenedy, Hadyn and their new best friend, Claridy, to see Disney on Ice at the Alamodome! Claridy is in Kenedy's Kindergarten class and is our new neighbor. We are SOOOOO excited to have them so close! She's been over here to play twice, the girls at her house twice and Kenedy has already spent the night over there all in the past week! FUN!

So, here are some pictures from the events described above!

Hudson raided the girls' backyard picnic when we weren't looking. He went for the oreos and was mighty proud of himself!

Our Ski Movies (Finally)

Kenedy and I - Good Run

Kenedy and I - Crash Run

Kenedy and I - Speed Skiing

Hadyn and John - Safe Skiing

(Please excuse my muffled voice, I was the only one trying to avoid frostbite with a facemask. And also excuse my over-enthusiasm. I was trying to force Hadyn into loving skiing by my excitement. It didn't work.)

We're Still Thawing...

Well, we're back from the slopes of the Taos Ski Valley! It was a blast and the skiing was great! We woke up Tuesday to falling snow and 15-degree weather. It was beautiful, but absolutely freezing... well, for me anyway. No one else seemed to mind it too much. The other days were sunny and perfect! The girls went to ski school, Hadyn for one and a half days and Kenedy for three. Hadyn just isn't as excited as Kenedy about skiing... yet. We're not giving up on her that easy! Kenedy is a natural and skis like a pro. Her only problem is that she's fearless! We're constantly telling her to slow down! She skis the greens and blues, but says she's ready for the double blacks! (Maybe next year.)

I have to give a shout out to our beloved babysitter, Lyndsi, and her sister, LeAnn, who accompanied us to Taos so that John and I could actually consider it a vacation! T H A N K Y O U ! ! !

Here are some pictures from our trip. I'm going to put a "Taos" album in the right hand column the next time I have about an hour to sit at the computer. (Hopefully before our next ski trip.)
