Crested Butte weekend trip

We took a road trip to Crested Butte this weekend. They got tons of snow in the last storm and it was piled high all through the town. The skiing was great and we had a great time exploring a new place. It's about 4-5 hours from Denver so a bit of a haul, but it was so worth the drive. The town was absolutely adorable. Finn and Soph did ski school on Saturday and Emmett went to daycare. Everyone was finally settled by 10am (after getting up at 6:30 to get ready!!) and we had 6 hours of skiing, lunch and drinking a couple beers before we had to pick everyone up. We stayed at a very cute bed & breakfast - we are officially a 2 hotel room family. We had adjoining rooms so kids in one and us in the other. They thought watching TV in bed was awesome.
At the base of Crested Butte Ski Resort. It was a perfect day - cold, but sunny and no wind. 

When we went to pick Sophia up she was practicing her wedge on the magic carpet. She was happy and very in love with Mr. Matt, her teacher. About 5 minutes after leaving class, she laid down on the snow and said "I can't walk anymore". She was beat!

Finn made MAJOR progress at this lesson. We went to pick him up and couldn't find him on the magic carpet because he'd been taking the lift up and skiing down the mountain! He and Noah took one up together and accidentally went to the top of the mountain. Took about an hour (and a little bit of piggy back) but they made it down. So proud of him!

This was in town - look at all that snow! Emmett refused to walk anywhere - lil prince wants to be carried everywhere and it is completely my fault. He's my baby and I am spoiling him like crazy! :)

What we've been up to

It's been cold and snowy! We got almost a foot of snow on Monday afternoon and the kids had a snow day on Tuesday. They got hours of TV in the morning and then Noah came home and we all went sledding. The hill by our house was absolutely packed with kids. We had so much fun. Emmett cried and cried, saying "brrrr" until I threw him on a sled with me and flew down the hill. He cried the first time, and then loved it after that. Sophia and Finn were both so brave. Noah build them a jump and they both flew over it on the sleds over and over again. Finn loves to shovel the sidewalk. Noah snowboarded a couple days over the weekend so Finn was the man of the house - shoveling so Sophia doesn't have to even walk on the snow. Ha! Sledding! I went to a fun wine tasting party with other Teller moms on Saturday night. This was the welcome to the party.  Story time! Oh Emmett.

Sophia turns 5!

Our little bunny turned FIVE last week! I can't even believe it, a whole hand. She took lollies to school for her classmates, and then we had a party at La Jolla Rec Center on Sunday. Complete with a bounce house, pizza and a cake big enough to feed at least 100 people. Seriously, the cake was ridiculous. Apparently I ordered a full sheet instead of a quarter or a half. Oooopsies. I think five is gonna be a great year for Soph. She has made lots of new friends and is so happy to go to school everyday. I'm so happy she's in TK, she is loving it. She got a new bike from us, and lots of cool art stuff from friends, and her first Barbie! She also got another Wonder Woman costume from Nay Nay, thank goodness. Cruisin' on her new ride. Now we just have to get rid of those training wheels.  The actual night of her birthday she requested pasta so we went to Filipi's in PB. Hadn't been there in at least a decade and it did not disappoint. The waitstaff sang her ...

Our trip to Croatia

Helloooo! Well, we've had a few things going on so the blog has been neglected. But I want to post pictures from our last two trips this summer - Croatia and Italy. The first week of August, we flew to Split, Croatia and stayed there for a night at an Airbnb. Split is a big city with a great downtown area full of outdoor cafes, a huge jewelry market and is a main port to a whole bunch of Croatian islands. We spent 5 amazing days in Croatia - we absolutely loved this place. Gorgeous scenery, friendly people, very touristy with people from all over the world and inexpensive.  One of the many beaches in Split...     Noah bought a sweet raft for the kids. He about passed out blowing it up. Afternoon at the beach. Me and Finnster looking for a lunch spot. Sophia became a little fish this summer. She loved all the hotel pools and lakes/oceans/seas we came across. She met a friend this day, Thea, who we played with at the beach all day and then coinciden...
