The Snow is still Great in Utah!

After climbing the mountain, we sled down.

Scootles -- Our New Pet

Sarah finally caved in and let Teya get a pet. Teya saved up her money to buy a Zhu Zhu pet.

We welcome Scootles and his new home.

Sarah's New Hairdo - Kids Can be Brutally Honest

At first Sarah didn't want the following pictures posted, but she told the story multiple times over the weekend that people wanted to see the pictures themselves.

Sarah got her haircut last Friday while I was out with the kids on the bike ride. Her hairstylist wanted to do something special for Sarah's concert that night. However, when the kids got back from the bike ride, their comment was, "What happened to your hair?" I don't see what was wrong with the style and I think the kids overreacted. Needless to say, she hasn't fixed her hair that way since. I took a couple of pictures so we could remember the moment. The fun didn't stop there. A couple of days later, I downloaded the photos to the computer, and as I was looking at them, Tadd was also watching. When Sarah's new picture came up, he cried "No! Scary." and looked away from the screen.

Skiing!
(Sarah wants to know why Tadd doesn't think this photo is scary)

There was an amazing view at the top of one of the mountains.

We had a blast on Friday at the nation's #1 ranked ski resort, Deer Valley, but we didn't come away unscathed. Jeremie learned that sunscreen is not just a summer consideration, and Sarah returned home sore similar to her old high school sport glory days. We had won two free day passes, free equipment rental, and four-hour ski lessons (about a $500 value) from a Ski Utah Promotion. Our ski instructor commented that out of the 25 years he had been an instructor, we were only the 6th group he had taught that live local.
In the video below, Sarah felt like she was "racing down the mountain on the verge of losing control". I'm not so sure others saw it that way. You be the judge.

Woo-hoo!!!
