Happy Birthday Jonny!

For Jonny's birthday I surprised him with a ski trip to Big Sky Montana. He has an uncanny ability to guess his gifts from me, so I constantly fail when I try to surprise him with anything. I had this trip planned two months in advance, so I thought for sure he would have no idea. But of course, as his birthday drew nearer, he started asking his parents if the entire family could go up to Big Sky for his birthday. Uggh!!! I was sooo mad! I had been so sneaky about the whole thing and he just happened to decide that he wanted to do the exact thing I was surprising him with. Luckily, with the help of his family members I was able to steer him away from that idea and the trip ended up being a total surprise.

This was the first time we had gone on a trip without Gracie. I can't believe how hard it was to leave her. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip with my hubby, Peter, and Michael and Betsy, but I missed Gracie the whole time. The trip was definately worth it though!

This was Big Sky ski resort, where we skied everyday of our trip. This was our view from our room. It was so amazing.

These were some more frozen waterfalls along the hike. Peter is actually standing on the frozen river. I was terrified the ice was going to break, but all went well and we now have some beautiful pictures to show.

This was a frozen waterfall we hiked to near peter's house, the way down was a little treacherous, but very much worth it.

Gracie's 2nd Birthday!

We completely forgot to buy candles for her birthday and those two giant candles were all we could find.

This was Gracie's 2nd birthday. I can't believe she is already two years old. What happened to my little baby? She knows how to talk almost better than I do! She is totally in to pink and purple, princesses, ponies, baby dolls, and anything that is girly. Her favorite things to do are brush my hair, put on lip gloss, and change her shoes about ten times a day. I don't know how she evolved into this "big" little girl, but it all of a sudden happened one day. She is so much fun! I love her more and more every single day.

I was unfortunately reminded, by my husband, that mustache march is just around the corner. I recently found this picture of Jon on Gracie's birthday and was so excited to see that Jon already used up his mustache march in January! I'm telling Jon about this tonight, although it probably won't do any good. It's worth a shot though.

Gracie's first snowman!!!

Gracie was having more fun eating the new freshly fallen snow than she was actually making the snowman. Now I can't get her to stop eating it, even the old muddy stuff. It's pretty discusting!
