A group of us went to Whistler Jan. 23-28 and had an awesome time. I don't even ski and it was still wonderful. So beautiful. One day, Zach and I did go snowshoeing and eventually I will try cross country--nothing downhill though, I'm a baby. Here are a few pics but I'll post more when I get some shots Lorissa took!

So we've all heard about Guitar Hero. . .now they have Rock Band and it seems to be the big Craze with Zach and all his GUY friends. . .they can play it for hours! I'm just not focused enough to concentrate on the screen. I guess they're just livin the dream. :)
I read in my SELF magazine a quote from a gal. "I try to take a few photos a day. They aren't great works of art but they remind me to enjoy life." I thought that was really neat so I went outside and took a picture of the awesome view from my back window.
Sorry I have been so horrible about blogging lately. . .I will be in Whistler so I'm sure I'll have tons to talk about then. :)
Amy just sent me this video of Sophia playing with her new kitchen set. I just think it is so cute how children play, their imaginations are hilarious! Whatever she is eating/cooking must be pretty good. . .and it looks like being in the kitchen makes her pretty happy, even if it is messy! HA

Another year gone by! I can't believe it. So, I always make New Year's Resolutions. . .last year, I tried to NOT eat french fries anymore. It worked for 2 full months and then I brought them back into my diet (just not as often as before) :) This year, my big one is to go to church more. I am a Godparent so I figure I should set a better example. I always have one about health or working out so of course I will set a goal to work out more. Here's some pics of us on New Year's, we went to Kora's and to the Paragon on Queen Anne. Then, we walked to the park to watch the fireworks. . .very fun! Happy New Year everyone!
Nick & Kora ringing in the New Year!
