Hittin the Slopes!

Big Props go out to my mom's cousin Katelyn.  She is a ski instructor at Mt. La Crosse and is now helping out with the Adaptive Ski Program.  Well, she talked my mom into signing me up and today was our first day on the slopes!  It was a tish chilly, but I had fun!!! As long as she kept me moving that is.  I even liked the chair lift - my dad would never be caught dead on one of those things, so I guess you could say I am braver than him (hehehe).  Maggie got to watch me a lil bit at the end and she wants Katelyn to teach her to ski now, but my mom said she has to get a little bit bigger first. Maggie and dad went out on a dad and daughter date, or at least that is what mom called it.  They went to pizza hut, Maggie loves pizza.

 

Because I got to go skiing today, yesterday mom and Maggie had some fun of their own, sledding with Maggie's friend Addie and her fam.  They had a real live horse and Maggie got to help feed it, she rode on a four wheeler, she went sledding down a big hill, she had hot coco, and a bonfire cooked hotdog. Maggie also taught Addie how to make a snow angel.  They had a blast.  Maggie had Addie over for a princess dress up party a couple weekends ago - the saving grace for me was that they watched Frozen and I happen to like that movie too.  Anywho, I thought I would include some pics of the girls having fun since I had so much fun skiing.

      

I also went swimming last week at the YMCA.  Mom and Hannah took me.  Since my mom is just getting to do more walking now, she can't take me by herself, so thankfully my nanny is more than willing to help out!  On a side note, she got accepted into med school and is gonna leave me this fall.  Can you tell by the smile on my face that I am gonna miss her. 

Dr. Seuss comes to La Crescent

Guess what.... La Crescent had the Cat in the Hat come to town!  When my mom heard about it, she of course had to get tickets and take me and Maggie.  I liked it cause there were a lot of parts that were word for word from the book, and everyone knows how much I love anything Dr. Seuss!  We got a quick pic with the cat on our way out to the car afterwards, My hat caught her attention :)  I am sportin my new poncho that Grandma Servais made for me - it's reversible, so in the top pic you see the black side and in the bottom pic you see the fun side.  She also made me a weighted blanket for Christmas and I have been sleeping really good with it (so my parents are happy).   I also thought I would show a quick picture of how dad gets me in and out of our new wheels!  Pretty slick, and I don' t mean icy...

Christmas "Wrap Up"

I know I am a little slow getting this out there, but hey, I'm 4, I'm a busy guy (and I have parents that hog the computer).  Anywho, here is our Christmas wrap up.  The start of Christmas was with the Shays, the wrap up is with the Servais crew.  But, before we headed to Mondovi to celebrate, my folks too me and Mags to our first theater play - A Charlie Brown Christmas.  My dad got tickets through work.  We had a good time - loved the music.  Maggie was so excited she even yelled out Snoopy Do every time snoopy made an appearance.  But it was alright, because there were a lot of kids in the audience, so she wasn't the only one yelling out :)

So our Christmas in Mondovi was fun.  Everyone was there, Uncle Kurt Aunt Ashley and Zoey, Aunt KiKi (Kristi) flew home, and of course Grandma and Grandpa.  We decorated cookies, we had a dance party, we opened presents from Santa, we had an ugly sweater contest (mom my won but it was a close call), Maggie and my dad went outside but it was too cold for me (and my mom couldn't walk), and we even all stuck around to watch the Packers win.  We got to drive our new van too, so we were cruisin in style!

 There was so much fun, that even Toby decided to take a nap!

Stay tuned for all our crazy awesome stuff coming up - just waiting for my mom to upload pics from this weekend!
