GO UTES!

In honor of the big game tonight, my true (red) die hard Ute fans all decided they needed to wear red today! I had to get a few pictures of it!

Happy New Year

Whew! What a crazy month of December! My blog obviously was the thing that got dropped, to make sure I got everything else done! Sad to say, I'm looking forward to the dead days of winter, so we can get caught up on a few things around the house, including the blog!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. It was a great Christmas here at the Murray house. Santa treated the kids well!

I'd report on the month of December, but it's the same as last December, except for the move. Lots and Lots of parties! Lots and Lots of food! Lots and Lots of family!

Instead, here is our January news so far.....

For the past few years, R has been dying to get the kids up skiing. He loves it....I don't. Finally, M and S were interested in giving it a try. So Tuesday, R took them up for ski school. They had a blast and couldn't wait to get back up. On a side note--R is out of his cast-and boot-and today was his first day of physical therapy. He is walking around pretty well, so decided he could ski (crazy I know). So yesterday, they went back up and all three of them had a great day skiing. He was so proud of them. Sometimes, M and S can be a little cautious (hmmm..where did they get that from?), and maybe even wimpy when it comes to trying new things. Last night as we were going to bed, he said, "they never complained, they never wanted to quit, they tried so hard, they were so good, it was so fun!" He really wants me to give it another try. (The 2 times I tried to ski were not the best days of my life!) I think in a few years when the little ones are bigger, I will try......going to the lodge and having some cocoa and reading a book, while he has a great time with the kids. That sounds like a lot of fun doesn't it! Just kidding, I'm sure I'll get roped into skiing, and I'm sure I will end up loving it. I just wish skiing didn't include layers and layers, and speed, and steep hills, and heights, and the chair lift, and snow. OK that makes me sound wimpy! Am I the only one who has lived with mountains minutes away my whole life who doesn't love to ski? (other than my sisters and parents?)
