Me Too

We don't have the heart to tell her that she doesn't have enough hair to cut yet ... So we just pretend.

We told her to "hold still."  So she doesn't even blink.

She looks terrified.  But really, she loves it.

Nana Jo Time!

I LOVE the hot tub... especially in my swimsuit and red cheeks.

Nana Jo came to stay with me for 4 whole days! Mom was in Bozeman this week, becoming a Licensed Property Manager - she said she learned a lot about what NOT to be doing with all our rental homes and how to make more money! Good stuff. We fired up the hot tub again and I LOVE getting in it ... morning, night, whenever! I think mom just likes to see me in my swimsuit. Lots of playing and hanging with one of my favorite people ... it was a good week!

"more ski!"

Grandpa Scott is in town.  This means that we get to SKI!   Grandpa Scott's reason for living is to be in the mountains, skiing, with his kids.  Now that he has a Granddaughter to teach to ski .... well, you could just put a check-mark on his bucket list and call him "the happiest man on the planet." 

Thursday, Matine and I went to Bridger Bowl with Grandpa for the first ever "Three- Generations of Cottongim's Ski Day."  The commemorative t-shirts are in production as we speak.  It was a blast.  Matine was even MORE enthusiastic about skiing and was completely in love with the small lift on Snowflake.  After she heard Grandpa say once, "we're flying!" as we boarded the lift, she screamed it each time we got on the lift.  At the end of each run, she would look at me or Grandpa, grab our hands and scoot her way to the line again, saying, "more ski?"   Well, after that I think short of murdering puppies, Grandpa would do just about anything for her!  And vice versa.

We rented "real" skis and boots this time - no strap on skis.  She loved them and managed quite well.  She even tried to carry her own skis all over, while walking in the moon boots.

That is 2 thumbs up for all the fun we are having!

"we're flyin!!!!!!!!!"

Hey now, you aren't supposed to let me go too far by myself!

Grandpa treating Matine to some snacks and hot chocolate... A KEY ingredient in our ski fun.

Grandpa, but your helmet and goggles are so cool!

Proud momma an her little helmeted ski bunny.

It has been a great week - skiing on Thursday, Saturday and today, lots of relaxing and playing with Grandpa, trips to the gym to play with friends, dinners out, lovely brunches at Pine Creek ... Grandpa and Matine are having the time of their lives!

I'm Fine ...

No, really Mom, you can go to work and leave me at JimPa's .... I don't mind. And she means it.

All the snacks in the world she wants ...

Any adventure she desires, is hers ....

And there is ALWAYS a free lap to lay on, that never needs to get up!

 

 

Oh the fun that grandparents have with their grandbabies!
