| Helping Momma in the kitchen. She loves to cook pasta and by cook I mean scoop pasta into cups & bowls. She makes soup, cakes, mac 'n cheese, HOT coffee and pancakes with her noodles. What an inventive little lady! |

| The other Saturday Evan introduced me to Crystal Mountain Ski Resort- his favorite place in the state to ski. And if you can't tell by the look on my face I was petrified! Far from an expert skier I have just returned to skiing after taking a 2 year break during the time I was pregnant and nursing Makenna. And previously I had only skied once since taking a semester of introduction to skiing my Sophomore year of college. So yes, I am far from an expert at this sport. And this was a HUGE MOUNTAIN. |
 |
| At this point I am still shaken by my first encounter with the mountain. My first run of the day was a blue- an intermediate run- that starts at the very top of the mountain, or what seemed like the top. I later found out that it wasn't the top. Coming off the lift I discover there is a small, what I consider small shoot before cliffs on either side. At this point the wind kicks up and I am not doing anything to propel myself forward, yet I am moving thanks to the wind. I was certain I was going flying off that cliff. Thankfully that was not the case. |
 |
| Taken later in the day after getting more comfortable. This was taken on the backside of Lucky Shot- the first blue run I took at Crystal. That beautiful mountain is Mount Rainier. |
 |
| Looking back on the day after the soreness has worn off I am proud that I pushed through my fear of heights & falling and kept at it, for at the end of the day I had greatly improved and became more confident in my abilities. |
