Marble Peak

My boss filmed this. Awesome.

skis are a nice way to move across the planet...

Great weekend of snow surfing. Cross country with Cora, Talon and Eliot's first run together, and Me in the mellow back country. Skis are such a nice way to move across the planet, I like how you can balance on them and slide down, across, and even up! Dem Ski boards is Good boards!

Wimpy Kid.

Eliot- I got the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book from the library (hands it to me, it's all taped together)

Me- The same one Talon got at the library?

Eliot- Yep

Talon- It's really good Eliot. There aren't many books where some kid goes to church and says "peace be with Holly Elizabeth Hills" to the girl they like in middle school and then calls her and says, "Hi Holly, this is Greg Heffley, you might remember me from a very special Peace be with you." That's funny.

Talon-- Daddy, What's a wimp?

Me- Um. Kind of like a weakling. I mean, a wussy.

Talon- What's a wussy? It it kind of like a Dummy?

Me-- No not really. It's someone that loses in a fight.

Talon- You mean they would just get swung around the room?

Me.-- Well, no. I mean, a wimp probably wouldn't want to fight in the first place.

Lucas-- Diarrhea WimpyKid!

Eliot- So if you don't want to fight you're a wimp?

Me- No, actually you're tough if you don't want to fight. A Wimp, I think, is just someone who doesn't want to try hard at anything.

Eliot and Talon- Oh, OK

Lucas- WimpyKid! Diarrhea WimpyKid!

Why we teach

Teachers are awesome. Even if we're cheesy sometimes. Seriously.

Beto (Rhymes with Play Doh)

So yeah, we picked up a dang old dog about a month ago. He's a C.B.D mutt they found runnin on the road in Silt. (C.B.D. stands for Colorado Black Dog) He had a rough start to life but he's turnin out to be a real good dawg. Lucas crawls around on him, and Eliot likes to hug and kiss him. He's been running with me, and it's nice to have a companion out there. Cora's favorite thing is watching him play on the trail and the dog park, then watching him pass out at our feet while we read in the living room. I think he's gonna work out good.

Can I get a Wtness!

Awesome Weekend with the cousins. Dan and I took the boys to Sunlight, where Andrew and Mason worked in carving the toe edge and Talon and Eliot enjoyed their first and third days of Lift-serve respectively. While epic and historic (see video-- Talon's first taste of Big Air) ), it was just another day with my pals on the hill. White Heaven.
