Dad will never see it here.

Getting the kids to keep their rooms (somewhat) clean is a constant for us. Today Tegan’s room was what’s referred as a ‘disaster pit.’ I asked her to clean it up and two minutes later she comes out saying she’s done.

Uh huh. So it’s to be the old, behind the door trick, eh? No no, I said, clean it for real.

So she piled it behind the dresser.

The best part of decorating cookies.

It’s becoming somewhat of a tradition in our family to make sugar cookies for Christmas and let the kids paint them up. Tradition as in, this is the second year in a row we’ve done it. Sugar cookies happen to be my most favorite Christmas cookie so I can see this continuing.

The kids had fun with the frosting, and especially the sprinkles. There were as many on the floor as there were on cookies :)

The look at and look away

Just a few photos of the Tegers hanging out with her Daddy.

Hiking at Brighton

Rather than try and go back and separate out each event that happened over the last two months, here’s a bunch of photos from that time.

The main reason I’ve missed so much is our camera had a series of unfortunate events… but we’ve got it back now so I’ve no longer got an excuse for not posting.

The Park City Fire District has a wood chipping department, and since I have an in with the chief they’ll sometimes drop off the chips in our driveway. This load the kids have been helping us distribute.

Since I’ve been such a slagger with updates these past few months, here’s some randomness from May.

Aunt Jenny stopped in for a few days while on route to Crested Butte. We tried to convince her to stay but her heart was set on a return to her old stomping grounds. I don’t blame her, Kari and I both had many good years in CB.

Come on kid, let’s get you into bed.

As fun as tomato soup is to eat, it’s apparently even more fun to wear.
