Whistler Vacation

Evey year in February we go on vacation to Whistler. We've always done lots of skiing and a little sledding but this year we didn't ski so we put all our time and energy into sledding. I believe it was the best time I've seen the kids have sledding in all the years we've gone up there. This is probably because they weren't tired from skiing!



Here is Hailey on her first run down.

Here is Elissa on her first run down. She screamed the whole time!




These next pictures are all about Caden. This was the first year he would ski and he went from not wanting to try sledding last year to never asking questions and taking off.......I love these shots.

His first down the hill.

His second trip down the hill on a different sled.

A different sled yet again!

This time he was going so fast Trent couldn't catch him as he headed for the trees.

He even tried backwards!

Catching some air!

Hailey went down a few time and then disappeared....we took this picture of her as she took in the skiers. I thing she missed skiing!

We had a great time in the snow. We are skipping next year due to the Olympics but we're all looking forward to 2011!

A New Baby in the Family!

February 28th brought the arrival of Max William Speller.




Tracy and Jeremy are our kids cousins from Trent's side of the family. We were all so excited to get to meet the first of the babies coming from the cousins!


Here Hailey gets to hold the new baby.....she loves holding babies.








We can't wait to watch another baby grow!

A Trip to the Aquarium

Here's Caden standing in front of a huge glass tank. The Seattle Aquarium is on the Seattle waterfront and they use the water and fish from the sound.

The tank the kids and I are in front of is where the otters live. They are the darlings of the Seattle Aquarium and our favorite part.

For my Arizona family you'd never guess we had snow on the ground by the way we're dressed. It was very cold!

And here is one of the little guys now!

And here is one of our rare "couple photos"

You gotta love the Seattle view!

Thanks Gail for showing me the "click and drag"! Love Ya!!
