Skiing!


The first time on the boat, Jake surprised us all by wanting to try waterskiing! He is a bit of a daredevil in the watersports arena. Last year I recall watching nervously as he slid down the Fly'n Hawaiian 65 ft plunge at Hawaiian Falls. After a few fumbled attempts with adult wake skiis, I bought this baby:


And on the first attempt, VIOLA: Jake, the semi-professional water-skiier!


And here's a cute picture of Afton with Max. Yes, THE MAX from Max and Ruby. I can hear you all singing the catchy tune now.

Awe.some. Jake!!! Isn't skiing fun? It's been a while for me, not sure if I could still make it up. Maybe Jake wouldn't mind helping me out?!

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
