A Visit from Lawrence!

Karen, Sarah, and Betsy visited us from Lawrence with a mission. To ski! Here are some shots from our days on the mountain.

Team Keim getting ready to tear it up.
Having a blast!

The Smoot Girls and an Isaac not too keen on getting his picture taken!

We posed with ski Jesus for some good karma on the slopes

We split up midday and took Carson and Betsy down a black with some mogels. (A short one with no trees).
Midway down....Classic wipeout caught on tape. (No people were harmed in the making of this video)


The follow up


The girls watched the boys for us so Karen, Dave and I could go out to dinner. They were going to watch a movie when we left. This is the scene when we took off.... This is what we came back to!
:)

Saturday Night Fun

The boys are constantly finding new ways to entertain themselves. Here are a couple of videos showing you how!

Big Phat Fun Family Ski Day

Hi! Here are some pictures and video of skiing from this weekend. We had an inversion on the hill which means it was cloudy in the valley, but you could ride the lift above the clouds and ski in the sunshine. It was beautiful, people were happy and having a blast! The cool thing was that the valley was blanketed with the clouds so it looked like an ocean.

The boys are doing great, even Isaac is on his own for short periods. Carson is getting faster and looks for any opportunity to try a jump and leave the ground!

Beautiful Day! You can see Glacier National Park in the background.

This is a great view of the inversion. Down below it is cloudy!

Carson and I with a view of the inversion in the background

This is Isaac after we let him go on his own. He steered himself right to a little jump and gave it a shot. This was also after we had watched some skiers do a double black diamond and he cried because he wanted Dave to take him down it. NO FEAR!

The boys and I, again you can see Glacier in the background

Dave and Carson getting ready to rip it!

The boys on the top...

This is PRICELESS! We convinced Isaac to try skiing by himself with his brother's help!

This is an example of Carson and how he cruises down the runs. He does pretty well with easy blue runs and looks for the little jumps along the way!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it snow!

The Flathead Valley has received 15+ inches of snow in the last week. Here are some pictures!

Our little man shoveling... too busy for clothes!

Is this a conversion van? NO! The Bronco!

Going on a Cross Country Ski

Scooping off my car today so I could go out!

This is the snow that Dave shoveled of the top of the roof. This was only a part of the roof!

More Christmas!

Here are the boys reactions to Oba's gift!

Me sporting my new pendant from Egypt and the one I already had on! :)

Serious KU fans...

Carson thought it was so cool that this said his name!
