We had an awesome day - played on the beach, had ice cream, saw Mount St. Helens from the Astoria-Megler Bridge AND drove next to the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile in downtown Astoria!!! Does a day get any better than that?

Daddy and Daughter Valentines Day Dance

We spent the week up at Mt Bachelor. It was awesome (that's a fancy word for fantastic.) Anderson and I made a lot of new friends, and I even met the Women's French Olympic Snowboard team!

Dad stopped by during one of my lessons. My parents hid in the trees and watched me ski. They think I didn't see them. Silly parents. I agreed to pose for this picture even though I was far too busy with my new friends to hang out with my embarrassing parents. I am so ready to be a teenager.

Anderson is still too little to hit the slopes this year, but it didn't stop him from trying on dad's gear. He came up with this "look" all by himself. Fortunately dad had a camera near by!

"Piece of Pizza...Piece of Pizza..."

Following mom down the mountain. I've got it figured out now!
