Spring Break Fun in Kellogg Idaho

For spring break we took the kids to stay in Kellogg Idaho. Kirt and Tanner left early Thursday morning and went snowboarding at Silver Mountain. Silver Mountain is located at the top of a very long gondola ride that originates at in the city of Kellogg Idaho. They had a fun day snowboarding (see pictures below). Then Katie and Garret and I drove over that afternoon and meet them. We stayed the night at the Morningstar Lodge and went to the waterpark. We went Thursday night and then again Friday morning. Katie loved the lazy river, Tanner the flow rider (a make shift wave, he did boggie boarding and surfing on it), Garret loved the hot tub. Poor Garret is so cold blooded. He would go down one waterslide or around the lazy river once and would be totally blue. Then we would go warm him up in the hot tub.

Katie Loses Her 1st tooth

Katie pulled her first tooth all by herself. She was so excited to lose her 1st tooth. Unfortunately the tooth fairy has still not come and it has been almost 2 weeks. What a lame tooth fairy she has.

Black Hawk

Black Hawk came to the high school by our house and landed on the football field. I took Garret over to watch. We missed it landing, but we saw it fly right over our house. We went over the football field and got to walk out and look inside the helicopter. Then we stayed and watched it take off. It took off and hovered (see picture), then flew off, took a sharp bank turn, and flew over the field again. I had forgotten my camera, but there were some other people sitting in the bleachers by me with their camera. I asked them if they would email me a picture and they did. Isn't that nice. So now you get to see it on my blog. The reason we were late is because Garret had flushed a diaper down the toilet and we had to take the toilet off the ground.  It was stuck in the pipe right at the floor.  We had to take it out.  It was gross. 

More Garretisms

This kid cracks me up. I'm sure that he is going to grow up to be the class clown. He just has a knack for making people laugh. Here are two of his latest.

He was downstairs with Kirt and Kirt said that he had to go upstairs because he had to go to the bathroom. Garret asked "You wearing big boy underwear?"

Kirt and Garret were laying on our bed watching TV one night. Kirt tooted and Garret said "I got to go turn on the light so I can see your fart dad."

Shut Your Piehole

Kirt was just putting Garret to bed. Katie was being noisy in the other room and Garret yelled out "Katie, shut your piehole". Isn't that a beautiful expression that he has learned from his big brother?
