Skiing, day two

The view from Chair One. The really gorgeous view at the very top I didn't get a picture of, but the views were absolutely stunning.
After two snowboard lessons, Alex switched to skiing on the second day. He said it was much easier. After the lessons he went up on Chair One with Bruno.

Bruno and Michelle waiting for the kids. Later in the day Marcus went down that run in the background.


Nicole survived her first ride up on a chair. She's a little speed demon, so Michelle got a little freaked out during her ride down. Once was enough!



It had been 18 years since Bruno and I had gone skiing. We'd forgotten how much fun it is! Bruno was ready to burn up the slopes, but here he had to wait for me to give my legs a rest. I'm not as young as I used to be.




The Padilla Family goes skiing

Having never taken the kids skiing before we went to Wenatchee over President's Day weekend and got ski lessons for the whole family. Mission Ridge is a great place, with a killer view.
Marcus starting out on the rope tow.....

and falling. Those snowboards look too hard!!

One of many falls.




But by the end of the day she was doing great!

Super Bowl Sunday

What's Super Bowl Sunday without good friends, and lots of food and drink?
Yes, Marcus was rooting for the Patriots, can you tell?


Jeffery (Teresa's oldest son), Alex and Bruno watching the game.


Baby Tony and Nicole-----What game?







Olivia turns 5!!



Bruno's brother, Paul's daughter Olivia turned 5 on February 5th. We had a celebration on the 2nd at Tony & Teresa's house.
Here's Big and Little Tony watching the festivities. Baby Tony getting picture time with the big cousins, and those two girls get so goofy when they get together!
Aunt Teresa made cupcakes and the girls got to decorate them. Nummy!


















Jake's 2nd Birthday---January 27th





Michelle's cousin, Dani, and her husband Steve, celebrated their son Jake's 2nd Birthday. Nicole and Jake had a great time playing and running around his house. Happy Birthday Big Guy, we love you!!
