There was a photography company that contracts with Whitefish Mountain Resort to take pictures of people while they are skiing or taking family pics if wanted.  They take pictures of all of the kids that are taking lessons and then we got to look at them and buy a CD with some of the pictures on them.  We couldn't pass up documenting her first time skiing!!

She is pretty much the cutest ski bunny I have ever seen but I may be a bit biased!!

Here is Addy with one of her instructors learning to ski.   In the second picture if you look close you can see the "worm", as they call it, that they put on the front of skis to keep the tips together and help them learn to control their skis.

This is one of my favorites cause it just sort of looks like an action picture and shows the snow that was falling most of the time that we were there.

Just some more cute ones of Addy during her lessons.

Just hanging out.

This is our little dancer.  She is in a dance class once a week and loves it.  I had to take a picture cause it was a bit of a throw back to the 80"s but much cuter.

I came back from putting Graham to bed and found Diesel like this.  Addy said he was drooling all over her spot so she had to put a bib on him.  This poor dog puts up with a lot from these kids.  It is amazing she was able to corner him to do this cause he usually keeps his distance as much as possible.

We went for a skiing trip to Whitefish, MT with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Brenna and Uncle Eric.  We took the train which was both good and bad (no potty breaks but late trains).  We rented a house and went skiing.  We had great weather and had an amazing time.  I think we will be doing this again in the future.

Graham was loving life cause the weather was nice enough to allow him to be outside playing.  He would live outside if we would let him!!  Grandma didn't ski and Grandpa only skied one day so Graham got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa.  The last day, when Addy stayed home as well, they went swimming so Graham got to do his two favorite things.

We also had good snow to make a snowman so Addy was super excited.

This is the townhouse that we rented.  It was nice to have separate sleeping and relaxing areas and allowed us to save money on eating out.

The day before we left on this trip I took Addy to see "Frozen" so she named her snowman Olaf and was giving him a hug.

Graham was our Sven (for those that have seen Frozen) cause he kept trying to steal Olaf's nose so he could eat it.  This boy loves his carrots!!

Graham finally won and got to eat his carrot!

Addy loves to eat her snow

I am also a very proud mama right now.  My girl went skiing for the first time and did amazing.  We put her in a half day lesson the first day and when we picked her up she wanted to go up the big chair lift (she had only been on the Magic Carpet in the ski lessons).  So Josh and I took her up and on the way down she kept saying "go faster" and "let me do it myself."  Even when she fell she was ready to get back up and go again.  She was so mad that it was time to go that we got her a full day lessons the next day.  

The next morning she said she didn't want to go again but we made her come with and once she got their again 

was so excited.  By the end of the day she was skiing without a thing on her skis that helps keep them together when you are learning and went down the chair lift ski hill twice.  The instructors were so impressed with how well she did and her amazing attitude.  She never got mad or frustrated from falling.  When we picked her up she had skied for a total of 5 hours that day so she didn't want to go anymore, but she said she wants to come back when she is 4 and go again.

The first two days it was very foggy and snowed all day which made for good skiing but did not allow us to see the beautiful views being on top of a mountain gives you.  The last day it all cleared and we were able to see this at the top.  One of the most beautiful views I have seen in my life.  Great trip.
