Mother’s Day gift.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom! I got her a special present!…………..

SNOW!!!!!!!

Yes. Snow on Mother’s Day!

Mom wasn’t super pleased with my gift. I also don’t think she believed that I made the snow just for her.

Well… okay. I didn’t technically make the snow. Whoever did is a genius, though.

Mom, I think you are as special as a snow storm in May. Happy Mother’s Day!

Spring between.

Spring is between winter and summer. It is a rather confusing time.

image

There are flowers and sunshine, but then there is also sometimes snow. It can be warm but the wind is rather chilly.

The only solution is to retain the best parts of winter, lady bug hat and mittens, when the wind blows…

image

…and leave on only the hat when the sun is bearably warm!

image

I love the sunshine but I am very much looking forward to summer!

The tale of two trees.

We have two trees this year for Christmas. Probably because I am two this Christmas. Or maybe because we drove a very long way to cut down our own tree this year and couldn’t decide which one to take home. So, this is the tale of our two trees.

We drove a long time. I sat in the back and serenaded my family with the b-i-b-l-e song. They loved it.

image

We drove narrow canyon roads that wound through square tunnels.

image

Once we arrived at the place of many trees, we tramped through the snow looking for the perfect tree.

image

I took an occasional snow eating break.

Auntie Gwendie and Grampy are behind me claiming small tree number one.

Grampy and Auntie Gwendie did the massacaring, I mean tree chopping.

And little bother was a lazy bum.

Stay tuned to see our trees all decked out once we got them home, miles and miles and many b-i-b-l-e’s later!!

Vail by sled.

We went to Vail this week. We seem to go there fairly regularly! This was the first time I toured it by sled, though. I highly recommend it.

Oh, but you need to have an awesome sled, and one of these to pull you around on that awesome sled:

That is a giant snowflake!

I love Vail. And my sled. And snow. And my mom.

A special day for mom.

A couple Sundays ago was Mother’s Day. I’ve only experienced one other one, and from that experience I assumed it was supposed to be a sunny spring day where mom sleeps in and gets breakfast in bed. This year was a completely opposite sort of day.

We woke up early and drove for hours so mom could play the oboe, and it was really cold and rainy and snowy! Then we went to eat something called brunch at a very old beautiful hotel.

image

While we were waiting for our table I splashed in puddles, which amused and annoyed mom.

image

Then we walked around a big pond at the hotel, and I found mom a bouquet of flowers but she didn’t let me pick them.

image

image

Happy Mother’s Day, mom! It was a special day full of memories and good food, and delightful puddles and snowflakes.

Winter weekend wonder.

Last weekend we went away for a snowy weekend in the mountains.

image

So much snow fell overnight. It made our drive long but our morning sparkly.

image

I love when everyone else has to walk but I get to be pulled in my sled.

image

It was perfect snow for making snowballs.... and eating.

image

A trip to the mountains is incomplete without an afternoon in Vail.

image

The best view of any mountain town is from the shoulders of a dad.

I love my family, and I love the snowy mountains…. especially if the bright sun is shining on both at the same time!!!

Winter.

It got cold last week and started to snow.

image

Then it got colder and snowed even more.

image

Mom bundled me up so much I couldn’t move, then she stuck me out in that snow and cold.

image

But she did teach me that snow tastes delicious.

image

The snow and cold has stuck around for a while now, and mom keeps sticking me out in the yard despite said cold and snow.

image

My only consolation is my adorable pink snow accessories, including my bomber hat and fur lined pink jacket. Oh, and eating snow.

image

Mom, when will it warm up enough to go back to the pool? Snow is too cold.
