Kaiden's even bigger bed

Kaiden loves his toddler bed, but the boys like to sleep together once in a while on the weekends... so we decided to convert his toddler bed to a full size bed.  It looks huge with his tiny little 2 year old body in it.  It took him a little bit to get used to this bed.  He loved the crib and loved the toddler bed, but the full size intimidated him a little bit.  But he loves it when his big brother sleeps with him.  Or when his mom sleeps with him.  Every once in a while he will ask me to sleep with him in his bed on my day off.  Of course I say yes.  How could I say no to this little adorable guy.  My heart just melts when we're snuggled up together in bed and his eyes light up and he smiles.  He likes to hold my hand in his and put our faces together when he falls asleep.  It only takes about 15 minutes for him to fall asleep and then I can sneak out.  Like Connor, Kaiden loves to cover his bed with a million stuffed animals.

Schweitzer Mountain

Jason's friend, Max rented a cabin right off the bunny hill at Schweitzer Mountain Ski resort for the week and invited us to come stay with them and go skiing.  We had such an incredibly fun time!  Jason had recently picked up Kaiden and pulled a muscle in his back... to the point where he could barely walk.  Which it sucks that he missed out on skiing, but that meant that I got to go skiing twice as much!  I had to work Thursday, so we went up Friday and stayed till Sunday.  Kaiden loved playing in the snow and running around the 4 story cabin.  Connor loved skiing with me, playing on the ipad and playing with the drones that Max brought.  I had a blast skiing on the bunny hill with Connor Friday and Saturday, then skiing Friday night with my friend, Biljana and Max.  Then Skiing and exploring the mountain with Melissa and Megan on Saturday, relaxing in the cabin in the evenings and enjoying a mouth watering feast of steak and crab and sipping on wine.  Jason tried to ski on Saturday, but after a couple runs down the bunny hill he was in too much pain and decided to retreat to the hot tub instead.  He spent the weekend visiting with Max and his nephews, watching Kaiden while I skied, drinking beer and sitting in the hot tub.  It was Max, his wife Melissa, his grown daughter Megan and her boyfriend, his grown son Max and his wife, 2 of Max's grown nephews, Max's cousin Buzz, and us.  The cabin was huge with 2 bedrooms (4 beds) on the bottom level, then 3 beds in our room, main floor, then a huge master bedroom upstairs.

Connor at his Ear, Nose and Throat specialist apt.  Over the last 2 years he's done several hearing tests and had tubes put in to drain his ears.  Finally in August of 2017 we had his tonsils and adenoids removed.  They were so large (thanks to Dad's genes) that they were blocking his Eustachian tubes from draining.
