Winter must be here...last night Nate asked me to cuddle and I said “No, I haven’t showered in days - I feel greasy and I stink.” He flopped back onto his pillow and sighed “You always say you’re too greasy, stinky, and hairy.” I shrieked “WHAT! I never said I was too HAIRY!!!!” 😠 Well, after our hike today, I came home, showered, and shaved my legs. It won’t change anything now tho...I’m still only going to stretch over and put my cold feet on him. #romance
This little girl was a trooper on the hike today! I’ve always referred to her as my care-free, happy-go-lucky, hippie child however tonight I discovered she’s sort of like The Hulk. But instead of turning green when she’s mad, she holds her breath and turns blue! Literally. What is that about? 😵 I’m totally freaked!
I was never much of a hiker but after heading out a few times with some inspiring moms last spring, I was hooked. Maybe pregnancy re-wired my brain, but I’ve loved the mental challenge of slowly growing my abilities and strength to take on new trails (not to mention tackling my fear of heights!) I reached my summit goal this year and made incredible friends along the way. Plus...it’s a pretty cool feeling to drive through the mountains and point to different peaks that I’ve stood on top of!
You better use your manners and be good in our family or we’ll throw you out the gondola! It was a close call for sissy today after she squealed for a 2nd cookie! Do me a favour and zoom in to check out her brother’s face...I have to admit, our kids have a good sense of humour and somehow manage to put up with us 🤪
Today was colddd but we made it look hot 🔥Actually, we totally whimpered out, grabbed hot chocolate, and window shopped... Maybe last night’s shenanigans in the hot tub made us soft because we attempted to head outdoors a few times today and all froze within minutes. I’m pretty sure Vittoria thought we were crazy taking this picture and the only thing that kept Maximo standing still was the icicle he broke off the car and carried around. Regardless, that mountain air worked it’s magic again and after filling up on ribs at the condo, the kids are both sleeping at 8pm. I’m not sure how we got so lucky but there’s no time to contemplate because now it’s time for wine and crib 🙌🏽 Let’s see if Nate can beat my forever winning streak! #wildnights #slightlycompetitive
Waking up in the mountains is amazinggg! I know...I sound like a brat but there’s something about the fresh mountain air first thing in the morning (not to mention skipping an 1hr+ drive to get here). Today we crushed a 2km trail but I couldn’t be happier. It was long and the search for the perfect stick was grueling but both kids couldn’t wait to “hike a mountain”. They both completed the loop and we celebrated with hot chocolate (and TicTacs #bribes) And now...the real magic of mountain air... afternoon naps! 🙌🏽
