Skiing

Scott and I have been lucky enough to ski twice this year. I haven't been skiing since February 2008 before I was pregnant with Gavin, so it was a treat when Scott surprised me with a trip to Vail in February for a Valentine's treat. We only came away with one picture since we forgot the camera and we broke Scott's iphone camera on the slopes. This one Apres Ski picture is our only proof of Vail. (Thanks to Leelee and Poppy for staying with the boys!)

Vail:

This weekend we spent in Tahoe with Bazaarvoice (Scott's company). They had a retreat for the sales team and their spouses and Scott was lucky enough to be invited since he support the sales teams (doing product strategy and development for them). We had a great time! Thanks Bazaarvoice! Thanks Nana T for watching the boys this time.

We are so anxious to get home and see our sweet little boys!!

South Lake Tahoe:

Our sweet 1 year old!

We can't believe London turned 1 on Saturday! Leading up to his birthday he still seemed like a baby. But Scott and I agree, on his birthday and the days following he seems like he grew up! I guess that is what birthday will do to you. His personality has always been so delightful and fun, but it seems like a little spark was lit and he has been on fire! He started walking on Tuesday (up until then he was taking 4 or so steps but not taking off like he is now). I will post a video soon. But first things first. Here are a few of his bday pictures and his gift from Mommy & Daddy, a backyard splash table.

Happy (almost) Birthday, Sweet Baby London!!!!

London's b-day is tomorrow!!! I can't believe he is going to be one! But I really can't believe that it's been a year of not being pregnant! HA!

London received an early birthday present this morning. A new table to share with Gavin for all of their fine dining experiences.

He also wore a birthday outfit to school today and took treats to his teachers.

We love you London!

London's First Haircut

London had has first haircut on Saturday. Even though he doesn't have much hair, the little that he has needed to be trimmed. The stylist even commented that we were there to get rid of the Donald Trump comb-over look! Ha!

Before:

Haircut in action:

Snow!!

Yeah, I know, it's been AWHILE! I can't believe I have abandoned our blog since early November. Well, I'm back, and I can't promise it's the last time to slip off the wagon....but it is a new years resolution to keep this little blog up-to-date and since it's February it's probably time to have those new years resolutions start kicking in!

We are experiencing winter in Austin! What fun! It snowed this morning and the boys went out to play in it. They both looked so cute all bundled up in layers, coats and mittens.

So the snow is the fun part! The not-so-fun part of the 20 degree temps is the frozen pipe under the kitchen sink! Thank God for husbands and hairdryers! Scott made his way into the crawl space and thawed out the pipe before it could burst. So all is good and warm in our household!
