We’ve always told Evan that he’s not the boss until he turns 18.
Michelle: “Evan, did you know these ski poles are older than you?”
Evan: “How old are they?”
Michelle: “Well, they’re about 15 years old.”
Evan: “WOW! They’re almost the boss!”
Today was our first offical family ski trip. Just the four of us.
We woke up early, drove to Keystone, dropped Emma off in the Keystone Kids Club daycare, and headed up the mountain with Evan.
We only spent a 1/2 day because childcare was cheaper and Michelle had to get back for work in the evening, but the time we spent there was so awesome! Evan was skiing so well and making parallel turns across the mountain. We were doing some pretty steep blue runs, he was totally keeping up, and I was able to make this short video of Evan skiing.

Here’s a very cute picture of Emma at the new house, and a short Mp3 clip of her singing You Are My Sunshine.
We sing it to her every night when we put her to bed, so tonight she sang it to me and I recorded it.
“My Homemade Toblerone White Chocolate Cheesecake with Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint Crust”
Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups crushed Thin Mints
2 sticks of Cream Cheese
200g Toblerone White Chocolate (or you can use milk or dark)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
Step 1 – The Crust:
- melt 1/3 Cup butter
- mix with 1 1/2 cups crushed Thin Mints
- spread mix evenly over 8 in spring form pan
- place in the fridge for 10 min to set
Step 2 – The filling
- use a mixer to blend 2 sticks of cream cheese until smooth
- set aside 3 – 4 pieces of chocolate for topping
- melt the rest of the Toblerone Chocolate in a double boiler (or in my case, a smaller pot inside a bigger pot with boiling water)
- mix melted chocolate, sugar, 1/2 cup whipping cream, and cream cheese until smooth
Step 3 – Putting it all together
- spread the filling over the crust in the spring form pan, smooth with spatula
- cut the 3-4 pieces of chocolate into small pieces, spread evenly over the top of the filling
- refrigerate for minimum 4 hours, the longer it’s in the fridge, the firmer it will be
