Glad has moved back in for the past three weeks. We had a blast with her around. Jarrod came and left then came back after finishing a few finals in New Haven. This is them in Jarrod's little sleeping nook.
The girlie's of the house, minus Jess and Maria
Congratulations to Jennifer Fuentes! Great groom and a smashing reception. Best beans and rice I have ever had, and the music was gorgeous! (Friends from law school, Natalia, Jordan and I)
This was my birthday party, which really means the J. Reub Boobs, used my birthday as an excuse to have a party and catch up on all the new up dates on everyone's lives. Don't worry girls, I won't break the pact, what goes on at those parties stays at those parties. Though I will say there was some pretty risky truth and dare going on!
It is fun to ride with Gladriel and Jarod, cause Glad gives us tons of tips on how to ride better, and Jarrod can laugh at us when we eat it.
The happy, ski/snowboarding couple
Got the special color thing going on again. This was after another afternoon session. After two times up (for Philip) we are on to all black runs. We might tumble a bit, but we are getting the hang of it! (thanks cuz, Jaron for letting Philip borrow your board!)
Though Jarrod wont give up skiing to learn to snowboard for fear that Gladriel would be better than him on a snowboard, they still manage to have fun together!
One afternoon Philip had come over to go snowshoeing, then Kenz my roomate ran in and proclaimed that she was going snowboarding, so Glad, Philip and I decided right then that we would go to. So we grabbed all our gear, and changed in the car.
Gladriel drove as fast as she could so we could get as much time on the slopes as possible before they shut!
Just enjoying the ride!
And, enjoying the ride. . .
Debbie K. and Josh K. at Mt. Hood. They invited Philip and I to go with them, we had a blast!

Lucy loves the snow! This was while we were snowshoeing, I think she dug herself into a snow bank or something.
So I went to the only Icebreaker store in the U.S. in Portland. I was in heaven and a bit overwhelmed by all the prospects of the greatest outdoor clothing I could possibly buy. So while I was shopping for a present for Philip, Mom couldn't help but be drawn to the children's section where she found the greatest sweaters for Anders and Maddie!
Anders looking like the Rock Star he is!
Cici rocking out on the Drums!! This was at James and Jenn's place.
