McKay's 2nd Day Skiing - Park City

How fun it is to live 15 minutes from Park City.  While Garrett built snow forts at a friends house, and Tanner went tubing at Soldier Hollow with a friend, and Bryson and a few buddies hit the black diamonds - Little Mac and I had the chance to ski together at Park City.  We did several runs with Ryan (R not E), Jackson and Madison (and Cache), but were alone for most of the time. What a blast to watch your 3 year-old get psyched about skiing.  His most common phrase was "Dad, this is awesome!" or "Dad I'm really good aren't I?".  It was fun just having a chance to be with Mckay.  He doesn't get one-on-one time as often as he should - and after Saturday, I am resolving to do better in that area.  

Mckay can ski!

We finally had a nice Saturday last weekend, so Paul took Mckay and the older boys skiing. We have waited for just the right day to take a 3 year old skiing - not to cold and no snow falling - the day was perfect!   
Mckay loved it!  We even got some footage of him going down the slopes, but we are smart enough to figure out how to post it (help us out bros).
Bryson has now ventured off to do black diamond runs with his friends.  He takes my cell phone and heads off to ski with Parker and Preston.  I think Bryson is almost as good as his Mom now!  I can't believe how fast he's growing up!

Tanner FINALLY lost a tooth!

Tanner has been wiggling his loose tooth for a very long time!   Paul decided it was time for the tooth to come out, even though I thought it was a little early, but Tanner was extremely ready! Paul loves this job, and Tanner was a very willing participant.   Within minutes the tooth was out!  
Tanner was excited to see his new smile.  The toothfairy left him a baggie full of quarters because he had waited so long.  Tanner's new trick is to sip out of a straw through the hole in his smile.  What a cute first grader!
