Reid and Stefani Adopt

 We are just finishing up our 2 week ski trip in Utah/Idaho. Our kids have really gained skills this trip. Isaac spent most of his time with his cousins, and he ended up progressing from green to blue to black diamond ski runs. Esther can do greens and blues, and even Jaydon, who we weren’t sure would even be able to ski at all, has progressed to being able to do green and blue runs. Reid has been so patient and good with him. I am still pathetically on green runs. But I am proud of my kids!   Esther ready to go down a steep blue run! Jaydon with his Dad. Dad was the best ski instructor! Isaac with his cousin Devin and Aunt Christine. They were his second family this week.  Isaac and Devin.  Cousin Ian and Jaydon playing the play station. Jaydon was a bit obsessed with Ian all week. Ian was so good to take Jaydon under his wing and let him hang with the older boys.  Esther, Reid and Isaac. 

Last week the kids' school celebrated Dr. Seuss week.  The campus was decorated like truffala trees and there were posters of Dr. Seuss characters and books all over the place.  The kids got to dress up every day in some way.  The picture below was the only picture I thought to take for the week, and it was for "Wacky Wednesday."  But the kids also got to  wear a regular green T-shirt (with uniform trousers) for "Green Eggs and Ham" day on Monday, wear red, black and white for "Cat in the Hat" day on Tuesday, and dress up sport their favorite school shirt for "Oh The Places You'll Go Day" on Thursday, and wear pajamas to school for the "Sleep Book" day on Friday.  They had trivia questions and fun activities all week.  I even got to sample the fun foods in the teacher's lounge on Friday when I was substituting for one of the second grade teachers.  They had sooo many cute themed snacks in there.  Many teachers took pictures.
