Mt. Hood

We have a beautiful view here in Oregon of Mt. Hood. There is snow there 365 days out of the year. Everyday the girls see it and say they want to go there, so this weekend we did. We went to SkiBowl which was about 45 minutes away. The drive up was so pretty and easy, no traffic, no winding rodes. We picked the perfect day, it was a beautiful day there. We were all bundled up and ended up taking half of it all off because it was so nice there!
Can you believe how high the snow is?
As soon as we got the girls all ready to go, they had to go potty. If you've ever taken a child potty with 3 layers of clothing on, then you feel my pain. So we had to get a picture in the bathroom.
Ashlyn being towed up the hill....this was her favorite part!
The view of another snow covered mountain
Jordy being towed up...this is the best invention ever! I'll never carry my own tube up a hill again. These girls don't know how easy they have it!
Jordyn just came down the hill and she's ready to go again.
Jordy and Mommy
They had a really cool indoor playland that we had all to ourselves.
Ash wedged herself into this tube and we just pulled her around everywhere. We thought she was going to fall asleep. She never moved or talked, until we tried to take her out, then she didn't want to get out.
Daddy and his girls
Ash is happy as long as her Daddy has her
So they had kiddie snowmobiles there. You have to be 5 to drive them, so we told Jordyn it was ok to say she was 5 because her birthday is in less than 2 weeks. We watched another little boy try to drive it and he was having a lot of trouble and he looked older than Jordyn. So I told Darrick she might not be able to do it. She hopped on this thing and took off. She had no problems steering or anything. The guy was chasing her around the track. We were all yelling at her and it scared her that she did something wrong, so then she didn't want to drive it by herself anymore. I've attached the video below at the end of this post.
Ashlyn and I on the kiddie snowmobile track.
The guy was so nice, he even drove Ashlyn around the track a couple times.
Ashlyn thought she was in snowcone heaven. She would just sit in the snow and eat it non stop!
Jordyn was more into having a snowball fight with Daddy.
Darrick made this "snowcone" for Ash to eat on the way to the car!

Ashlyn had so much fun...she wore herself out!!

Here is the video of Jordy driving the snowmoblie. Watch her watch the guy in the orange vest, she can't figure out why he's chasing her around the track.

Jordyn's Haircut

Jordyn got a haircut yesterday! This was a big deal to me because she wanted it cut to her shoulders. We comprimised and had 2 1/2 inches cut off. She loves it!! She woke up this morning and said, "Mommy will my hair grow again?" I thought, oh no she doesn't like it anymore. I told her it would grow back again and she said, "Good because I want to get it cut again."

So here is her modeling her new haircut...
I guess she still wasn't done because then we came inside and she said take some more of me here.
Ok this one is hilarious...where did she learn that kissy face from? I do not take pictures like that. I look so funny when I try and do it. She's almost 5 going on 16...scary!!
Here it is again...boy are we in trouble!!
Then just when I thought we were done she said, "One more, I need to do a funny face."
