Good luck to Chloe who is competing at Nationals in California this weekend. I wish I wouldn't have forgotten my camera at parents night last night. You'll just have to believe me when I say she hit two perfect heel stretches and all her full downs!

Monet turns 11 months this week.

...

(She thought she was pretty funny playing peekaboo.)

We are going to Disneyland soon, so I bought Monet some new kicks. I tried them on her this morning. They are so adorable and tiny, they're like two inches long!

This weekend Monet learned how to stand up all on her own. She even is taking a step or two. Sunday afternoon I got out the camera and caught a few shots of her new trick.

...

As you can tell she is pretty proud of herself. She is always making funny faces like this. I love this one.
She's not completely confident so her hands are always ready for the fall.

...
We then turned the music on and had a little dance party. She loves to dance. Black Eyed Pea's "I've Got A Feeling" seems to be her favorite song. This is her face right when we turn it on.

Then she gets up on her knees, puts her hands in the air and starts to bounce.

She's so much fun to have around.

Rain, Snow or Shine, Have a good weekend.

Last night me, Grant and Riley went night skiing at Sundance, and it was so much fun.
I would have taken some more pictures but every time I took my hand out of my glove it turned purple.
We went down a few runs in the pitch black. It was kind of eerie skiing in the dark.Afterwards we ate in deli where I tried to thaw out. I was freezing.

If you live nearby, you should definitely go, it's really a lot of fun.

On Wednesday, Alpine Country Club opened the golf course. Grant was out putting and chipping first thing. By Friday the entire course was blanketed by snow. I warned him it was too good to be true...

On the upside, these pictures of Paris in the snow will brighten any day!

Monet turned 10 months. She has four teeth on top. Two on bottom. She can crawl up the stairs. She will stand and let go for a few seconds. She is pretty close to walking. She likes to chase a golf ball around on the wood floors. It makes her laugh really hard when I do handstands in front of her. She loves being outside. She has her first black eye. She still likes to be swaddled like a newborn when she goes to sleep. She doesn't love to snuggle. She likes to be startled (thanks to Chloe.) She's the queen of peekaboo.

Our Ski Day For Karl ...
I have skied every winter with my grandpa, starting when I was little, up until last year. His passion for skiing spread throughout our family, and in turn trickled down to many friends. It's a love we all share. Skiing for me is just a sense of freedom. It's challenging, it's rewarding, it's so much fun... and it's all because of my grandpa Karl. I feel extra grateful because it gave me about 20 years worth of long conversations up long lift rides with my grandpa. We talked about anything and everything, on sun shining days and also on blistering cold ones. I feel so lucky to have endless memories with him on the ski hill.
...
So in honor and memory of grandpa Karl we held

The First Annual Karlito Tucker Ski Fiesta!
(a bit of an inside joke about his love for all things Mexican)
...

The day was absolutely gorgeous. So sunny, so warm, so much fun. I said to myself at least a dozen times 'he would have loved this.'




Riley, Wyatt & Chloe.



Some of the family and friends.

Hanging out over Bishops Bowl.

After we finished skiing at 4, everyone (including the non skiers) met at Sundance for the fiesta. We ate tacos, hung by the fire, wore sombreros!

Grant & my grandma Joanne.

Staying warm by the fire.

This is Monet and her second cousin Jack. I love this picture.

My mom, Chloe and Monet.

Nice hats huh?

Lindsay watched Monet all day. I think Lindsay is Monet's new love.
