Great Day on the Mountain!

The Timmerman Family had a fantastic day at Purgartory! We had beautiful weather and everyone had a great time. Today was Dylan's first time riding the lift and skiing all the way down the mountain. We've taken him to the bunny hill a couple of times and just walked up and skied down. He did great on the mountain today! We had a few tears in the beginning but overall he really liked it. Holli is a natural on skies. She amazes me. I'm pretty sure she'll be out skiing me next year.

Dylan's first time on the lift. He said this was his favorite part!

Hotshot Holli!

Fun Valentine's day Garland

I got this idea from my friend, Ellen. They were super easy and fun to make. I'm just bummed I didn't buy more felt! I may need to get some more. I think Holli would love helping with this. Maybe I'll go ahead and pick up some green for St. Patrick's day. It would be super fun to make Shamrock garland.

Doctor Dylan

I have a tendency to get hang nails. I bite at the tips of my fingers and end up with painful hang nails. I know this is a gross habit, it drives Drew crazy and I should stop but I CAN'T. Sometimes my torn up fingers become painful and I'll put band aides on my finger tips. This morning I mentioned to Dylan that I had a hang nail that hurt and I need to put on a band aid. He offered to help and this is what I ended up with.


I suggested putting the bandage on my middle finger since that was the one that hurt. No, the box showed the bandage on a wrist so that's where it has to be. He went ahead and put one on my thumb just in case. After he was done I put the band aide on my middle finger.

Question of the day

"Mom, how did God make our tongues wet" - Dylan.

Hmmm, I'll have to think about this one.

Great Games!

Since moving back to Durango we no longer have cable TV. This gives us a lot of family time and one thing we enjoy is playing games together. For Christmas our good friends, the Fickenshers, gave us Headbands. This is kind of like a kids version of Indian Poker. The box says it is for kids 7 or older but Dylan has no problem and really has fun with this game. The other game we've been enjoying is Guess Who. I once saw the Super Nanny give this to a family on her show. I had been thinking about buying it for the longest time but didn't think the kids were ready. I finally got it last week and we LOVE it. This evening the kids got it out and started playing with each other.


We also like to make cookies! Today we had a friend over and made heart shaped cookies and decorated them with frosting and sprinkles. Yummy!

Bouncing Bubby!

Yesterday Dylan and I took a trip to the big city... Farmington! Here are a few photos from our big day.

We had to get energy balls (aka donut holes) before going to the bounce house.

After the bounce house I got to do a little shopping... Hobby Lobby and Target. WooHoo!

Dylan was worn out! When we got home he said 'we sure did have fun today'!

More sledding!

We have so much fun together as a family. I love it! Today we found a new sled hill behind our house. Everyone was very brave and had a great time.

Surrounded by snow but still panting. I don't think Winnie knows what it means to be cold.

Dylan being a goofball!

Drew and I on a run together. I'm very impressed with Holli's photography skills!

Get out of the way Chewy! Drew and Dylan on a run.
