The Stairs

The stairs at my house always seem to be the main attraction.  I've caught the kids sliding down the stairs on a pillow with a mountain of pillows for the landing... I know once a kid jumped from the top stair to the bottom. I know they've slid, fell, skied, rolled, tumbled, jumped, leaped, coasted, glided, skipped, & skated down the stairs.  They've driven every remote contol vehicle they've ever had down the stairs.  More importantly these are just the things that I know about.... no telling what they've done when I wasn't around.  But last night I saw something I've never seen before.   
Yes I know a stair step of kids.  We actually didn't have enough steps for kids... they had to take turns.

And they made a game out of it, using my big red workout ball. (good thing someone's getting some use out of that ball, because I sure haven't)

They were having a ball, laying on the stairs rolling that ball down and then passing it back up.

Pretty soon they had an audience.

I don't think I've lauged that hard or heard so much laughter in a long time. 

Yall come see us and you can play on the stairs too!

Ree-ah-doe-sah

We took the boys to Ruidoso.  You know the New Mexicans say it Ree-o-doe-soo and us Texans say it like this Ree-ah-doe-sah.  Course we say, hi yall and can I have some Ice -Tea, too.

Anyway, we skied one day.  Just so happens Cousin Bray was up at Ree-ah-doe-sah too.
It was his first day to ski and he did great.

My favorite part is riding the lift.  Ok, ok I admit, it's because I like to rest..  I'll admit too.. snow skiing pretty much kicks my booty these days. 

So these are the guys I skied with,

 best looking guys on the mountain too =)


The boys begged to go to Walmart for fishing poles.  They wanted to fish.

We'll be back so they can fish!  I'll guarantee that!

After a nice 3 day weekend, sadly =( it's time to go back to work.

Until next time Ree-ah-doe-sah, see ya when I see ya!
