You Never Forget How to Ride a Bike..

Emily set out today to conquer riding a two wheeler without training wheels...and she did!!!  The look on her face when she realized that she was riding on her own was absolutely priceless.  I have never been so proud of her.  She never gave up and was so upset when we had to put her bike away.  I should mention that we(Nana and Pada) had to buy her a new bike because her old one was too small.  It was a great day!!

Her she comes...

And there she goes.

Way to go Em!

Sleeping Beauties

I have no explanation for the head wrap, that is how we found her sleeping.  Too funny.

Happy Easter!

 Notice Abby looking at the baskets...

She clearly is not happy with the quantity that she has in her basket.

Emily Hits the Slopes.

T and Emily hit Gunstock with the Bath family on their last visit.  She has become such a great skier.  We are so lucky to have a great family ski mountain only 1/2 mile up the road.

It doesn't get better that this!

Good Ole Fun Spot

Sean came up for a visit during his winter break. No better place to spend it but Fun Spot and some bowling with his cousins. We had quite the laugh. You will not be seeing us on ESPN competing in PBA Tournament of Champions, that is for sure!

 

I can almost hear her say "Yeah, I'm THAT good." 

 Calling the shots!

I believe this is the shot where Sean threw his ball and it landed in the lane to our left.  Amazingly, he knocked down the most pins on this turn.

Happy Birthday Abigail!!!!!

Abigail turned 3 this year.  Todd and I often feel that she gets the short end of the stick when it comes to birthday parties, clothes(hand-me-downs), etc.  This year we wanted to do something a little different.  Nana came up with the idea of going to Gunstock Mountain for a sleigh ride and S'mores.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  Thanks Nana and Pada for making her birthday such a special one.

 These lanterns hung on the trees throughout the sleigh ride.

 Yum!

 Gotta love that smile!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!! 

My Sisters Come to Town

The Sullivan sisters were in full force in NH this past February.  I warned them that it was quite cold up here and that we had about 3 feet of snow on the ground.  Sportos just weren't going to cut it. We went sledding, made pizza, played Just Dance....the kids had fun too.
Due to all the snow we recieved this winter, we have a monster sledding trail on the side of our house.  When the family visited it was quite slick.  I give my big sisters credit for  braving the trail on a thin saucer of plastic called a sled.
