First time SNOWBOARDING... PRICELESS!
We woke up and went to our continental breakfast which was a lady cooking BELGIUM WAFFLES?? best continental breakfast ever, and drove to SUNRISE. I was extreamly nervous when we got there are told Jared to take me on the BUNNY SLOPE first.
I fell from the lift and almost gave up right then. I don't like things that don't come easy to me... I just give up on them!! Jared said we should just go half way up the mountain and try that first. Again, fell from the lift and only took one person with me! We actually are related. We were talking on the lift and he knows my grandparents from Safford and if you even know where Safford is, we are probably related. Regardless, he was nice about me pushing him over. It took us a while to go down but I made it. We went up the lift again and this time I stood up, smiled because I was standing, and the lift wacked me in the back. At least a few people thought that was funny! I was feeling a little more confident or a little more daring and actually thought I made good time down the mt.
I did have a great fall with lots of flipping and sliding and people on the lift cheered so at least I entertained some people. I was actually getting the hang of it and was going a couple hundred feet without falling!!
Next time up the dreaded lift I was watching the people doing snowboarding tricks off the jumps. I knew i could do it this time... J/K. Someone was being strapped to a board and carried down the mt. then air-vacced away. This made me a little more cautious because who was going to raise my children. At least I made a video message to them before I left already saying my good-byes and words of wisdom.! I was a little more careful and decided a few more times down the mt. and I would be done. I continued to get better and continued to fall. HARD! But I knew I had ICY/HOT waiting for me so it was okay. My last and final little hill I wanted to look good so I wasn't even slowing down. Out of nowwhere, two women jumped out in front of me!!!!! Luckily I didn't hit them but I flipped and slid down the rest of the way.
I am so glad I went and can't wait for next time when I will surprise everyone with a 180- tailgrab!
Thank you so much to MARCI and TROY for keeping our kids overnight. Anna has talked about how cool Troy is now so that is good! I am so LUCKY to have such an awesome BFF who I owe so much to. In the words of Emmy, MY LOVE YOU MARCI!

Good Job Tricia! It sounds like our skill levels are the same. Maybe we should all go together and see who can go the longest without crashing.
I am there. I had so much fun. We should just start our own sport called the flip/slide!! I would be awesome. I'm not kidding when are we going?
Forget the snowboarding and pick up skiing! It is way better in my opinion. It does sound like you had a great time and I am impressed that you braved the snow and everything.
Don't listen to Cindy. Skiing is so old skool. I don't know when to go. I'm having my 5 wisdom teeth pulled on Friday (yes, I said 5...I must be wise!) And I go to Switzerland the beginning of April, so it would have to be in March...or Next fall...ouch.
I love you Brian but I can't wait for you.....
how sad...I totally think I'm worth it. You won't regret it!
My love YOU Tricia! Thanks for making my Valentines Day great!
It looks like you had a fun day - almost makes me want to go...
Trina and I will totally go with you guys if we can find a babysitter. Trina has been saying that she wants to give it a try.
Hey!! I totally didn't get to come chat with you at the game night!! That is great about the snowboarding! :) See you on Sunday!
Tim and I would love to go snowboarding too! Let us know when the next trip is. We haven't been since highschool.
Snowboarding is so fun! I have been only a few times and fall hard-core everytime but I for some reason still love it. What a fun trip for you guys!!
That sounds so fun! and cold! Good job! I want to go sometime!
You all could come up to Boise and go with Jon - he'd love it! The resort is only about 40 minutes from our house...
By the way, Tricia, my grandparents lived in Safford for a long time. Maybe we're related. Other than the Lambson way, of course!
You are so welcome, I had so much fun with the kids they really were so good! Gavin and Emmy might have a little something going on though, soryr we might be helpless to stop the flirting between those two! Oh and by the way you look great in the picture of you and Jared. Glad you have fun, love ya!
How fun. Mike wanted to take me the other weekend, but I chickened out on leaving the kids. I'm a sissy that way. Someday I will try it, and I'm sure I'll be on my butt the whole time! I think it's funny how you made a video before you went, that's totally something I'd do. Lots of confindence.:)
Ok, next winter when the Lambson Lodge is done, we will all go snowboarding together. We'll draw straws for who gets left behind with the kids.
I am so surprised you have never snowboarded before. Why didn't we ever go together? That's all Brent and I did when we were dating. Our first Christmas together we ended up buying each other snowboards. It's so much fun!
