We are presently "hittin' the slopes" at Wolf Creek near Pagosa Springs, CO! We are here w/ our family: me, brian, mattie, pawpaw, bailey, uncle william, "aunt" leigh ann, statton, cole, john michael! and several families from church. A blast has been had by all. well, not all - altitude sickness hit one and some people just didn't care for skiing. but we've all had fun whether we were just hanging out or skiing. brian's hair has changed colors three times in the past 48 hours. he bleached it which was a bad idea. he did it while i was asleep...w/out my help. i wake up to yellow hair. that happened tuesday night. then last night i bought a root touch up kit and another bleach kit. we opted for the root touch up. there wasn't enough color in the kit to cover so he ended up w/ a bronzey color....toned down the yellow. well, i jump in the tahoe make a mad dash to the market before it closed and get a medium golden brown color. well, the end result is an auburn color. it kinda takes you by surprise like "whoa" and you take a step back then you adjust your eyes and get used to it. it's not bad just not brian. as one mom siad today, "it's not brian. he doesn't stand out enough". we will be calling his hair lady first thing when we get back.
i'm living w/ the guilt of "tricking" my son. he has no idea that we are on this ski trip that he was supposed to be on. my sis is keeping him and they are having a blast. but on the first day they had all our ski boots sitting out w/ our names on them...and there sat these itty bitty boots w/ the name Ryder B. on them. :( we just couldn't do it. we couldn't bring him. he's tooooo little and toooo whiney. we started mattie skiing when she was 3 but she's just a tad bit different than ryder. he will get his turn next year. mattie on the other hand....kicks butt skiing. she is hardcore. hates to wait on people who don't ski as fast as she does.
hopefully i'll have some pictures soon. oh, we forgot our camara. figures. so i've had to borrow camaras.
off to bed. there's no sleeping in on a "brian britt ski trip". sleep who needs sleep. sleep when you get home. we are here to SKIIIIIIIIII.

Let me ease your guilt.....we went on a walk at the park and after approximately 10 minutes he was done. Tired. Wanted to stop. And he let us know about it the rest of the walk.
Also, remember his need for a nap....yeah...still there.
You did the right thing! He will have many more ski trips to come and will love them and be ready for them.
Today we are headed to the train and then a movie tonight....don't feel too bad for him! He and Jules have been playing blocks for an hour already this morning.
We are having fun! But he does miss y'all :)
Love, Connie (I had to comment under anonymous b/c it keeps telling me my password is wrong and it's not...haven't changed it in over a year???)
Hey Steph,
You may not remember me, but we had a few classes together at ETBU. My name then was Kelly Daily. I found your blog through Terri's! I'll be reading!
