Painting

Yesterday my department from work went to the Lux Center for the Arts and painted. We had a lot of fun.
This is what we started with - a blank canvas.

Then we got started!

Working away!

This was about halfway through the process. We had to stop and look to see what we liked - what we didn't like and let the paint try a little bit. And then we were off again.

This is a close shot of a small section of the painting.


This was the final product!!!


These are the people I work with and the artist that helped us throught he process.
Matt, Kady, Karis, Darren, Troy and myself.


I would highly recommend something like this for everyone. We had a great time!!

I took Ian today and got his pictures taken - this is the shot I got. Sometimes I forget how big he's getting. Already got that senior picture pose!

Keystone Vacation

Chris, Ian and I went to Keystone last weekend with Brooke, Allison and Brad. We had a great time and Chris is already planning a boy's trip in March!

My snowboarding skills!

Chris and I on the gondola ride.

We put Ian in ski school. When we watched for a little bit he pretty much cried the whole time. I felt terrible but now he's all about going back so it was not terrible. He did a good job. This is him riding up the magic carpet!

Coming down on one ski.

Ian was worn at that night. Sleeping very weird on the couch.

We went shopping one afternoon and Ian made a haul. Here's a new guitar shirt.

Ian with his new stuffed elephant, Thomas. Also a new hoodie - has a guitar on the front and the hood says ROCK!

This was the morning of ski school - how cute is that - he was so excited. I don't think he knew what was ahead of him.

The other side of the gondola ride.

More Artwork

Ian is getting good at coloring and he takes a long time because he wants to stay in the lines. This is a V book - the kids at daycare studied the letter V last week - so there are 6 pictures in this book. This is the only page Ian got colored because he was working so hard on it - the other kids got the entire book done but with less precision. Amanda (our daycare provider) says he always works so hard to get it perfect. I don't know where he learned this!!



Tracing Skills!

Ian informed me that this is a hot tub!

This is from a couple weeks ago when they studied the letter U.


Scissor skills! Good cutting Ian!

My baby's big hand.

Playing at the Park

We had to travel to the park with this beautiful weather. I wish it was going to stick around!!
Swinging!

Singing the ABC's with the chart.


Ian loves slides!!!





Peeking out of a hole in a yellow tub - too cute to not take a picture!
Silly before bed!
