Staycation

What a great Presidents Day Weekend. I was pleasantly surprised by Galen on Friday morning when he said I didn't have to work, and he was taking the day off as well to ski with his wife! We took the kids to school, and were off to Bachelor for a blue bird freshy pow-pow kind of day...Amazing...but my legs are still sore! On the way home, Galen decided we should close the office on Monday as well, being a holiday and all...so we dubbed our long weekend our "Staycation."

We celebrated Jakey's 4th birthday on Friday night at the Vigeland house. Happy Birthday Big Boy. We love you!

Then on Saturday we played around the house, and watched the snow start to fall...and fall...and fall...and that afternoon headed out to Winterfest to watch the Rail Jam competition in the snow. It was a blast (thanks to our flasks to keep us warm. Don't worry, the kids kept very warm dancing to the band and running around like crazy people).

Sunday and Monday were quiet days...perfect for sledding, and the only other pictures I took all weekend! We found our own private family sled hill right in our neighborhood, and tore it up, Blyth style.

WEEEEEEEEEEE!

Love the snot waterfall coming out of Miles. What an athletic family. So All-American.

What a fun weekend! I love the happy pups in the snow--they are just like kids with the white stuff! Nothing beats a fab staycation--and the perks of sleeping with the boss! :)

Love this pics! I wish I was a part of your staycation.
Whitewash + the snottiest nose ever looks like a nightmare to me - poor buddy.

those are GREAT photos!! I love the one of Monty about to pounce on you. The one of you pulling Miles on the sled is seriously frame-worthy. Tell Ava I haven't forgotten about the gum, and that she will be getting another little surprise in the mail too. Probably middle of next week. Xoxo
