I don't know how it has happened but someone, (not his mother) has let this little boy turn into a teenager. In approx. 45 min. Cole will be 13! We couldn't ask for a better boy. Cole, is very kind hearted, caring, responsible, smart, talented, athletic, good natured etc. etc. We love him very much. But don't get too jealous, he does have his moments, just like the rest of us, but they are rare and not too serious. As his mother I wanted to take all of the credit for Cole's good qualities, but this Fall I was sitting at our V2K booth and got talking to the gal in the booth next to ours. She went to high school with Clint and she was telling me how kind Clint was to everyone in high school, and that everyone liked Clint because he was so nice and good to everyone. Great, that gal just burst my bubble! Not that I didn't think Clint was kind or anything but you know, I just wanted the credit for all of Cole's goodness. It's really alright, Cole's dad is a really good guy and I want Cole to be like him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLE!So today for Cole's birthday Cole wanted to go skiing. He got a season pass to Powder Mountain for Christmas and hasn't been able to use it yet, partly because he got strep throat over the Christmas Break. Cole wanted all of us to go but Clint didn't want to pay to ski since he doesn't own his own skis. Clint went to Powder Mountain anyway and was the official photographer and sports announcer of the scores of the football games. (Clint went in the lodge and watched a little football and would report to Cole the scores of the games via walkie talkies.)
Oh and I guess Clint wanted to have some added entertainment while waiting for us to ski down the hill because unbeknownst to Cole, Jami or me Clint put Waffles in the very back of the van just as we were leaving home.
Just having a little snack in the Powder Kids trailer
More snackin'.
Silly dog!
I'm not sure which one weighs more, Jami or the cooler......
Jami will probably be mad at me for posting this photo but it is pretty funny. The picture doesn't do the story justice though. Long story short, Cole & I took a bathroom break after one of our runs, well, Jami DID NOT need to go to the bathroom, while waiting for their mother to come out of the bathroom, Cole & Jami were playing around in the snow and Cole made Jami laugh too hard and hmmmm I guess Jami really did need to go to the bathroom. She skied a couple more runs with wet pants and then when we went to eat on the way home Jami wore Clint's sweat pants. A little big? Yeah! As Jami was putting them on she said, "I'm going to look silly but no one will care." Good thing she's so stinkin cute!
