No School = Mom+Dad Ski trip with Trenton!

We have been wanting to take Trenton skiing for some time now and decided that we should today! Trenton had no school for teacher workshop but we knew that most kids did so we decided it would be a relaxed day at the slopes. Brent was not to excited because he needed to work and thought that skiing with a child that had never skied could be a lot of work in itself.......but it turned out to be a perfect day! We all had a great time and found that Trenton is one heck of a skier! I was always told never to go on the platter pole and as a child I was taken straight up to the lift. Brent thought we better try it once to see how Trenton did.....he had been telling us that he knew how to ski and was going to do flips and everything so we didn't know what to expect! Well he showed us up and was ready for the next level. We did that lift twice and then headed straight for the quad all the way up the mountain. We continued on this lift for the rest of the day.....like 12 times. There were no lines and Trenton did all the green circles and blue squares at White Pass. He even went through the trees and tried several jumps! We are very proud! Sorry for the bragging!

Fall Runs -- several of them!

I was able to run several Fall and Winter races. I accomplished my goal of running a 5K and a 10K. Now I have to do a 10 miler and a half marathon. Hopefully I will be able to do lots more races and continue on the road to a healthier life! I truly love to work out and feel strong and accomplish goals. I am thankful for my families support and Raquel standing by me through each step of the way! Rochelle Bassett's Breast Cancer run!

Pumpkin Patch with Crew 2009

Brent and I were able to go to Crew's pumpkin patch field trip. It was raining and muddy but nothing stops us from getting our pumpkin for Daddy & Son carving night. It took Crew awhile to find just the right one. He didn't want one with any dirt or yuckie stuff on it and he wanted it big. Well they have a special patch where they put all their small pumpkins so that the little kids can carry them......so there wasn't to much to choose from. We did finally find the perfect one and he had fun carving it with Dad.

Crew's Adventures with.....THE SINGING LADY!

When Trenton was a baby I had him in kindermusic with Karen @ 6months until he was able to go to Gateway.......well I couldn't pass up another singing opportunity for my kids so since Crew didn't get to go to kindermusic then I had to put him into The Singing Lady. I had heard about her and never knew she was in my very own ward. When I got the flyer I called her right up and signed Crew up. It's been a great adventure for Crew. She does a great job and the kids just love it.
