Blog? I have a blog?

Oy vey, I keep thinking that is there is something that I should be doing but haven't been able to put my finger on just what that was until now, update my poor, sad, neglected blog! It was 82 degrees here today, so I feel a little funny posting skiing pictures, but what to do?

 I loved have little babies, I really did (minus the lack of sleep thing anyway), but there is nothing better than having a buddy. Morgan and I were lucky to have a day of ladies skiing while daddy and Aidan stayed in the valley. Special moments with a SUPER special girl!

We were even lucky enough to get some runs in with this little Jeremy Bordner Junior. I love these kids!

More McCall Fun!

We recently spent the weekend up in McCall with the Hef-Glav and Mcbride families! We had such a great time and I am still feeling guilty and full for all of the amazing food that I consumed (and didn't have to do any of the prep). Spending time with this crew can definitely spoil you! Unfortunately not too many pictures were snapped, we were too busy sledding, skiing and playing!

Watch out ladies o' Hearthstone, these two gents are about to hit the hot tubs...

Skiing was COLD and windy. But after a necessary neck gator purchase for a very miserable Morgan, the kids pushed through and had some great runs. It was so much fun to have Morgan join the big girl crew (well Marjorie and I). Aidan on the other hand opted for a little nappy nap in the car with dad while we got just a few more turns in!

These two were so darling together. They were in make believe boy land the entire weekend! We are looking forward to more fun with Wendall in the future!

Jed has now perfected his "kid whispering." I swear, kids just love that guy! Look at them circling him to tell him their latest and greatest!

My dad is 60!!!

Luckily for my family, my brother (and his better half) is king (and she's queen) of planning ahead and arranging some fantastic celebrations! They threw together a surprise party for our dad to ring in 60 years of life. I flew in, sans kids and Ryan to celebrate! A great time was had by all and Papa J. is officially 60. Phew, he makes it look easy, let's hope that's genetic.

Uncle Greg toasting the old guy!

Father and daughter! Happy birthday Dad!!!

Surprise!!! Not really, he squeezed it out of his better half... Stinker.

More toasting! Living with my dad was a fun adventure and full of lots of laughter. I wonder why I like to laugh so much!

The luckiest Auntie in the World!!!

On a recent trip to 24 hour stop in Seattle, to celebrate my dad's birthday, I got to spend some time with two of my favorite little ladies on Earth. Noelle and Cassie (and of course their brother Max too) make this Auntie one incredibly HAPPY lady. I love them more than words.

A little lunchy for the ladies. Look at those faces, are you kidding me? Do kids get any cuter?

The ladies at the salon thought we looked alike. We looked at each other and giggled and told them that's because our middle names are "Jane." Oh Cassie J., I love you!

What a little pumpkin. I can't even begin to tell explain how much fun this little lady is...

A smarter or more talented kid doesn't exist. This Auntie CAN'T wait for a certain recording! Oh how she makes me smile... Now if only I could have held Max still long enough to get a picture of that wrestling, football loving, love bug...

Superbowl Wrasslin'

The Bordners came over to watch the Superbowl... But instead, we watched the Bordner children completely dominate the Kearney duo in the wrestling department. Fun times! (Until old lady K. was called in at 2 a.m. and was atwork until 10 a.m. Good God, I am too old for that, thankfully, my last on call shift!) No captions are needed for these pics, they speak for themselves!

Proving once again...

That my grandma is one of the most random and (I think) the most hilarious woman I know... Why wouldn't you send twinkies to your grandkids? Now you probably get why I wear a ski helmet through Ketchum.

The Aftermath...

I think the kids needed a week to recover from such a fun weekend with Mema and Papa and wonderful birthday celebration! (And so did Ry and I).

Sleeping with some of his favorite things from the celebrating!

No such thing as too many things in your bed...

I tried to so hard to get a good mom/son pic. Neither of us were cooperating. Aidan J., we love you more than words could even begin to explain... I keep telling him that when he's a daddy he'll "get it." He keeps telling me that he doesn't want to be a daddy, but can't wait to be a grandpa. Well, okay then, but let's not make this old lady a great grandma too quickly!
