Mommy's not here so I'm in charge.

Snow Tubing

Luz Tube from Wes Little on Vimeo.

This was one of Luz' favorite activities of the trip. Me? I was pretty freaked out, she looked like she was going to pop out of the tube.

Luz Ski Lesson

Look in the middle, instructor in green shirt, Luz in leopard top pink pants. Note: I meant to edit this down, but apparently I accidentally uploaded the raw clip so unless you want to hear me and Josh and mom talk about cellular service and SD cards and some kids crying then skip ahead, your girl starts skiing around 1:07.

Ski Darling

Note the perfect form and intense look of concentration. This is required on the magic carpet.

The weather here has been quite warm- 50 degrees today. When you're working hard on skis you get sweaty really fast. Lucy had to shed her outer layer to reveal this very chic leopard print fleece.

Most adorable snow plow ever.

Next year- black diamonds.

Info

Lucy just informed me: "did you know we have bones inside us?"

Tumble Tots

Lucy started gymnastics this weekend. She LOVED it. She tumbled, jumped, danced, stood still and waited her turn. She was the first to volunteer for everything and she mostly listened to the teacher. There is a ballet class right before the gymnastics class and since they're each only thirty minutes long I'm thinking I may sign her up for the ballet too and make it an hour total. I've been super eager to get her into a ballet class even though she always chooses gymnastics when given options. Why do I want her in ballet so bad? Cause y'all- I want to see that tushie and belly in some tights and a leotard to bad I can hardly stand it.

Baby Shower

Our friend Mandie is expecting a baby! Sex and name TBD. Haden and Lucy were very excited to celebrate with her- and to help her eat her chocolate cake. It was a very nice shower and we appreciate her putting up with two tired and sugar-afied three year olds. Hopefully, we'll see Mandie and baby Respess again very soon!

Valentine

Yes, I realize that it is mid-March and this is a bit late, but we're busy busy people folks. This year Lucy's Papa made her this giant valentine. It was quite the surprise as she was not expecting a valentine from her Papa. I think she liked it.

Uncle Drew

Uncle Drew has been in Afghanistan for many months. He came home for R&R about a month ago. So much for the rest and relaxation. We made him be the pony for awhile.

What a good sport.

Tea Party

Tea Party in February with a pretty bunch of ladies to celebrate Aunt Emily's birthday.

Lucy got to use a pretty little tea cup for her tea. Note- monkey Jill peeping over the edge of the table.

Bungee

BUNGEE!

Lucy has no fear!
