February Birthdays!
It's a Festivus February with birthday's left and right!
This past Friday we celebrated Nick's birthday out Indian Creek with Jean's famous clam chowder. The favorite birthday gift had to be from Mark & Patsy who brought, a single river bootie with shots of tequila, vodka, rum, and a can of beer. Technically, a river consequence for falling out of your boat the previously mentioned beverages are usually combined and chocked down by the swimmer out of a sweaty river bootie. Nick took a pass on partaking in this birthday gift but we all got a good laugh.
Today we celebrated Dorothy Brassey's 91st birthday in Boise. She is rockin' and rollin' into her 90's and is adored tremendously by all her family!
My niece Avery turns 4 on Valentine's Day! She has to be the cutest 4 year old I know and we look forward to seeing her soon to celebrate.
Then Kat is up to bat with the big 3-0 on President's Day! Welcome to the dirty thirties Katherine!
AND...I can't leave out the LaDuke's! Cameron celebrated his birthday last Tuesday and his wedding anniversary on the same day. Busy guy :) Happy Happy LaDuke's!

The Yuck
Little man has had a rough go over the past few weeks. Battling chest congestion, the flu, and an ear infection, we have been back and forth to the doctors office trying to make him feel better. Grandmother Jean has been a tremendous help, filling in when Zach and I can't be home to rock him to sleep.
Despite all the poking and prodding he has managed to remain a good sport throughout the ordeal. Happily he seems to be on the road to recovery and working back to nothing but smiles :)

Don't Blink
February must have hit us when I blinked because time has been flying bye!
Zach headed to Jackson Hole this past weekend for his annual boys ski trip. They all came back with goggle tans and smiles so I know it was a good time.
Dax, Lucy, and I took advantage of our local blue skies by nordic skiing out Quigley canyon. Dax had no problem snoozing in the ski chariot while mommy struggled along after Lucy. I felt like and elephant on ice skates by the time we were done.
On Sunday, Dax was flattered to be the only boy invited to an adorable first birthday party for girls. I dressed him ready to impress and he slept through the entire event. Seriously, I usually have no problem with two hour naps but... really. So much for my ladies man ;)

Winter is Here
No better way to shake off the sickness we had from the weekend before then by taking advantage of the great snow conditions and skiing every moment of it.
It was the ladies annual Petit Lake trip at the Sinnot cabin. Rachel and I did the day trip and enjoyed the beautiful views and conversation. My photos were terrible so if you would like to see some excellent photos from the trip see Sarah Sundby's blog here.
As I was taking my last run down Baldy and my legs were ready to give out I shouted to Zach, "I'm old!" He shouted back, "Your cold?" I was too tired to correct him and we just carried on.

9 Months
Our baby boy is 9 months today! I can't believe how much he has changed from when we first met him.
Some 9 month activities:
Crawling
Pulling himself up
Eating finger foods or anything else mommy puts on his tray (except fruit unless it's hidden)
Walking while holding onto furniture
Splashing in the bathtub (his favorite!)
Laughing at daddy
Helping turn the page while reading books
Waving bye-bye
Dancing
Pulling Lucy's tail
Kisses

Happy New Year 2012!
Zach and I attended the "Bubbly Bash" last night at River Run Lodge with friends to help ring in the New Year. Free champagne, photo booth, and a band from San Francisco made the evening go by quickly. Dax spent his first night away from mom and dad at Grandmother and Papa Nick's house. Thank goodness for family! All went well and we enjoyed ourselves immensely!
