This past week was Spring Break. Mom, Dad, and Ryan came to Nampa Friday night. We got up played some tennis and then headed out for Utah. Mike and Al came to Twin Falls with us and we stopped at Shoshone Falls. They had already opened up the irrigation canals so there wasn't as much water flowing but it was still very pretty.
Our cute little hatchling.
Mike and Al played in Twin while Alyssa, Mom, Dad, Ryan, and I headed to Grandma's in Utah. We had a fun weekend. Monday we all went skiing. We had great snow but it wasn't the best learning weather for Alyssa. She was a trooper, we ended up going up too far on one lift the first time. It was mogels and 2-3 ft powder all the way down. It took Alyssa about two hours to make it down the first time.....lots of frustration and lots of snow. But after a nap and lunch with mom I went up with her one more time. She ended up saying it was fun. I think she just had fun when Ryan and Trev were helping her....not so much with me :O)
Tuesday we bowled and played miniature golf before Alyssa and I had to come back Tuesday night because I had to work Wednesday morning. Mom and dad came back to Nampa Thursday night. Ryan and dad took Alyssa to play tennis and I met them at the courts after work. It was fun. Alyssa is so excited about tennis and is really trying to improve. She wants to go play any time we can....LOVE IT!!! She said she was going to show the coaches that they made a mistake putting her on the B team. Although there is only like 1 7th grader on the A team...still I LOVE her attitude....THAT'S MY GIRL!!!
We celebrated my birthday on Saturday with laser tag, video games, Chinese dinner, and fruit pizza (YUMMY!!) It was a very nice break and good fun with the family.
Mom mentioned the other day that as she was going through old pictures she noticed how many of them consisted of me being picked up, thrown, or tackled by the boys. I wondered why this was and Alyson said it was because they could lift me and that she was too heavy for them to pick her up...Ryan of course took that as a challenge and proved her wrong. Then proceeded to pick me up and flip me around.
