A snowboarding dude!

Boy oh Boy, overnight we have created a snowboarding dude.

Oli had his first snowboarding lesson on the snow yesterday and really enjoyed it. Brett said it was a special day for him and was very proud of Oli for trying so hard and never complaining. This will be a fun sport for them to share together.

Ok, I am ready!

First chairlift ride. He told his instructor, "ok, if you ever need to get my attention, just throw a snowball at me."

Look at that form!

Some action!

The way home...

I am way behind on the Oli'ism's, so here is a few to get caught up.

Oli'ism #100:

Oli: "Next time, I would like Wendy to come with us (ok, this was the music to my ears!). But not Scout becuase he would TRASH the chairlift."

Oli'ism: #101:

(scene: getting ready for our Thanksgiving dinner tonight..he said when asked what are you thankful for)

Oli: "I am SO thankful that they made football."

Oli: "oh and Xbox"

(I guess tonight we will try and expose him to some other things to be thankful for)

Oli'ism #102:

(scene: Brett reading Oli a story in bed and Oli trying hard to figure out some of the bigger words).

Oli: "Dad, I want to be a doctor"

Brett: "That is a wondeful job. But you are going to have to study very hard"

Oli: "Yes, I will study very very hard. I will study hard so that when your heart stops, I can start it again"

Oli'ism #103:

(scene: We took Oli to my doctor's appt where he got to hear the baby's heartbeat and see an ultrasound of his sister. On the way back in the car, he was quiet for a few mins, a rarity, I must say. and then....)

Oli: "How does the baby come out?"

(Brett rolls his eyes and looks at me and mumbles, "here goes")

Brett: "Well, do you know the different between boys and girls?"

Oli, emphatically: "yes!"

Brett: "ok, well, what is it?"

Oli: "Boys have short hair and girls have long hair."

(Brett smirks and rolls his eyes again and looks at me as if to say, "your turn")

Oli: "Oh cool...look there's Burger King!"

Wendy, sighs in relief.
