Durango, Colorado....

We just got back from skiing and we all are so sad and want to go back! We had such an awesome time! We can't wait for next year, but will probably go someplace a little bit closer! That was such a LONG drive! It was probably made worse with 3 kids in the back! But it was all worth it, Purgatory is such a fun mountain to ski! Ben and I got engaged in Durango 10 years ago, so it was fun to go back! The boys took 3 days of ski school and loved every minute of it, It was really fun to watch them progress every day, Ella did great in the child care and we got to watch my mom and dad learn how to ski for the first time, I got to try snowboarding and had such an awesome time skiing with Ben and my sisters! Wish we were there now... Our condo...

Our view every morning...

Benjamin, on the mountain ready for ski school..


The previous weeks before we got there, Durango just got dumped on! LOTS of snow! The icicles were so long!


This was our motto for the week...


There were huge piles of snow everywhere...


Luke, ready for ski school...he never wanted to come back inside, he loved it!

The boys after a long days hard work! Do you think I should change the date on Benjamin's camera?!!!

While we were waiting for my sisters to come off the mountain, Luke decided to dig himself a hole and get comfortable...

Me and my boys...


Daddy and his future ski buddies... Luke wouldn't take off his goggles for the longest time, it was very funny!


This was hilarouis! My dad has never been skiing before, and he was so excited! The question of the day was...."what goggles am I going to wear today?" Even if they didn't ski, he still wore them around the house!

Sweet Ella Bella...

How cute are they... I wonder how long the boys will let me dress them in matching shirts?

I wonder what they were all looking at?

Good-bye Durango mountain!

This was the biggest cross I had ever seen, it was HUGE!
Thank you, Jesus, for getting us home safe and sound!
