Hand-me-downs

I'm wearing my Mama's old raincoat that she wore to Kindergarten and sofia now wears my old raincoat which first belonged to our cousin Maggie. We love and appreciate hand-me-downs.

Another birthday party... for Lussi




Neighborhood Easter Egg hunt



Yes it is Easter and yes we are all really cold but at least we're not wearing snowpants.

My made up birthday song.


Untitled from Kara Salmela on Vimeo.Lussi made up this song months ago in anticipation of her birthday. This is the camera shy rendition.

I am five.



My Birthday Party...






My party was really fun... first we made princess crowns, then we played with the parachute, and then we played a game where we had to drop a clothespin in a jar for a prize. My party was loud and crazy just like I like it!

A-Boo!

Winterfest- Soldier Hollow




This just may be the most incredible XC-skiing in the West. We spent the whole day playing in the sun and the snow.

Tubing at Soldier Hollow (2002 Olympic site)





So this is how they make money to keep the cross-country ski trails open. We spent a day skiing and tubing at their annual Winterfest.

Baby with her babies.

Little Mommy.

Sofia really likes to play with all the baby stuff that the Cummings family left for us. She spends hours putting the babies to sleep and rocking them and pushing them around in the stroller. She is such a sweet child with a tender heart... I just want to cuddle and hug her to bits.

Reading to my little Sis

Skiing with our Dada


We like to go to Mountain Dell golf course and ski. There was a cross country world cup held here in 1989 and Dada was here to watch. I like to ski to the park and then ski back up to the top and have a picnic.

Skiing,sledding,snowmen & eating snow.






We've spent many afternoons outside at the park taking advantage of the little amount of snow that comes down here. Lussi is a snow eater and of course Sofia wants to do what her sister does but she has no thumbs in her mittens making it impossible for her to pick up a snowball to eat. She realized that if she just lays down and puts her face directly in the snow she can eat snow just like her big sis.

Treasures in Park City




There were lots of fun things to see and do in Park City and my favorites were Chloe the Moose and milking the cow at the ice cream stop.
