Yes, that is a porcupine. Her name is Stickers and she is the "most famous porcupine in America" She has been featured on YouTube, has her own Facebook page......She has been relocated to a more private home and we were lucky the kids got to see her first. Unfortunately there are lots of people that still think it is ok to feed wild animals and she became VERY friendly in hopes of some curly fries and granola bars. We had a great visit from cousin Michael a week or so ago and a super fun day on the slopes with Tim, Eli, Colter, Michael and I. Trevor and Dylan had fun around the house since Trevor is still recovering from his sledding adventure in Keystone.
Colter just finished Comets, had his first hockey games and YES---has his first loose tooth! He is so excited he is telling everyone all about it. He runs around and says "Mom, when I run my tooth jiggles in my head!" Oh the excitement-------I am in shock that I have a child big enough to have a loose tooth.
Colter is skiing so good these days. His Comets teacher (and our neighbor) described him this way "he rips", meaning he can carve turns and control his speed on steep slopes and was right on her heels down the entire run. He did the NASTAR race course and the adult terrain park. His new favorite run is a double blue bump run called Humbolt Draw. We have been having so much fun skiing this year.
Hockey was so cute. I know I should pick a different word like "tough", "aggressive", "fast", but seriously it was adorable!!! Colter did a good job of paying attention, which is all the coaches really ask of the first year players and he had a shot on goal. So fun.
Dylan is telling great stories these days and gave us a great dance party tonight, including a little booty shakin'. He is so funny! He is full of opinions and is already pretty sure he can do it all. He likes to pick out his clothes and showed up at school the other day in his Thomas the Train underwear, lunchbox and hat, Bob the Builder shirt and tool vest and red pants and socks because "dey match, mama", finished off with his "pider" boots. I loved Colter's costume/imaginary years and hope that Dylan gets into them as well. His current favorite things are his giant animal puzzle, which after being assembled is followed with endless verses to Ei-ei-0, The Very Hungry Catapillar, Winnie the Pooh book, Opposites book, music "mu-mik", "excababer" and taking his little hockey stick and ball to practice outside while Colter is on the ice. Dylan is ice skating already and I'm sure will be amazing by age 5! He cheers Colter on with a loud "GO DOLDAH, PAY HOCKEY!!" Much video has been taken lately.
