Spring Skiing

We were really excited to head to Denver this year on Jarod's spring break to get some spring skiing in and just get away for a little while.
Jarod was determined that this time we were going to buy our own skis. I kept telling him that I thought it was a waste of money since we don't go very often and it really isn't that big of deal to rent but like I said he was determined. So the morning after we got to Denver (after the airline lost our car seat for the third time) we went and bought skis, boots and poles.
Jacoby was so excited to spend some time with Bentley and quickly picked up that he could tell Bentley to sit and Bentley would sit. It was so funny! Jacoby loves Bentley and the dog puts up with Jacoby.
Jacoby was also excited to see all of his toys at Grandma and Grandpa J's house. He remembered that they was a toy room upstairs and balls in the basement as soon as we got there. He had a blast playing with all of his toys.
Friday night Jarod and I took advantage of having babysitters and went out for a nice date. We had the best time! I sure do miss the leisurely dinners with my husband.
Saturday afternoon, after swimming we headed up to the mountains to stay at the cabin.
Jacoby was so excited to see the pool table! His favorite place and to just run free!

He was so funny on the pool table, he would stick out his tongue when he would concentrate like his Daddy does. He had me laughing!

He isn't allowed to stand on the table and he did very good crawling around. I loved to see the old crawl- I miss that little leg kick!

He spends hours on the pool table and loves every minute of it! Doesn't take much to entertain this little guy!

Jacoby had to wear his Colorado sweat suit in Colorado! I love it on him!

He is also a little obsessed with shoes. He likes to walk around with our shoes on and then brings them to you and wants you to take them on and off.

Sunday we headed to Winter Park to 9 inches of fresh powder, 32 degrees and a beautiful sunny day with not a cloud in the sky! It was perfect!

I tell you what thought, you already have enough luggage when you ski let alone when you add in a baby! I have quite the load here!

Jacoby stayed in the lodge with Grandma J while we went out and hit the slopes. He actually even fell asleep for her in the Ergo (oh how I love that thing!!!)! This was huge for us!! He usually needs his mama for naps. I don't think it is really me but more my hair! But he fell asleep with all of the people in the lodge with no mommy and no binky. He must have been exhausted!

Like I said before, he's a little obsessed with shoes and he wanted to try my ski boots on. It was so funny!! He was trying to walk in them but they were a tad heavy.

Then he decided that he would just sit on them. They made a great little chair for him.

The skiing crew on the top of Winter Park! The views were incredible! It seriously was the best day of skiing I have ever had. Great snow, great weather and great equipment! When we went in for lunch I told Jarod that I took back everything that I had said negatively about buying skis. I love my skis and boots! He just laughed and asked if I could say it one more time a little louder that he was right- ugh I hate when he is right!

I had the best time skiing with Jarod and it was fun just to be the two of us for a little while. I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband! But after lunch, I had a really hard time leaving Jacoby again so I only lasted for a few more runs and then I bowed out and went and got my little baby that I was missing so much! I took him sledding and we played at the outdoor park. We had the best time! Jarod, Collin and Jim had a blast too because they weren't waiting for slow poke me!

We had the best time and I am looking forward to using my new gear next year... and who knows Jarod is trying to talk me into putting Jacoby on skis next year.
