This and that

Often in the mornings I make a green drink and Josh and I drink it and the girls have a little too. This has been happening since Jadyn was about 9 months old so they are both used to it and accept the green juice as a part of life. It never occurred to me though to have Jadyn help me out until she asked one day, well ever since this has become the most exciting part of the day. One morning I forgot to ask her to help and just did it myself and she was so dissapointed that I almost had to make a new one (I didn't!) And now Heidi joins in because she thinks it looks like fun and of course wants to do everything she sees her big sister doing. I wash the veggies and turn on the juicer and they do the rest!

I just love her little hand reaching ot try and help (now I put them on the edge and she hands each veggie to jadyn who then puts it through the juicer.

Look at the admiration she has for what her big sister is doing!

It is more fun to drink through straws together!

Yesterday Josh and I went snowboarding with my brothers at Sunshine. It was raining the whole way there so we all thought it would be a disaster, but of course we were so much higher up and it was snowing all day, so fresh powder all day, I loved it. In the past 4 years I have either been pregnant or breastfeeding a baby so hopefully this year we will get out more than once!

The best part of Sunshine are the flat and uphill parts halfway through each run that make you feel like you are getting your money's worth because you get to go mountain climbing and snowboarding all in one day!

And on the gondola on the way up, we were so pumped!


Josh can't actually take a whole day off work without working, so here is he working on some mortgage deal in the Gondola.

That is soo sweet that you went snowboarding. I want to goo soooo bad! Maybe next year.....Also I'm thinking of starting to drink the green slime in the morning. I will have to get your recipe. That's good that you started your girls early so they are used to it!

yuck...that drink looks nasty. But soooo good for you. I'm torn.

But mostly I'm soooo jealous of the snowboarding. I hear ya on the whole always pregnant/breastfeeding thing. I need to start planning pregnancies out so they don't destroy snowboarding. I'm glad you had fun though!
