Austin's First Skiing Trip

Austin LOVED his first skiing trip. Who knew that a two year old could ski??? Two weeks ago we went to Brian Head for our annual Dastrup Family goal setting weekend. We had a great time snowmobiling, skiing, swimming, and just being together. Austin's two year birthday was on the Saturday that we were down there, and we decided to try out skiing. Jeremy thought that he would just be able to pull him around a little on the skis. But after about five minutes of that Austin was ready for the slopes. He pointed to the lift and told us "right here, me go right here". So, Jeremy took him up. He did great! Jeremy started by holding him up and letting him ski between his legs, but by the second trip up the mountain Austin was skiing by himself for about 30 feet at a time between Jeremy and Shawn. This kid has no fear! I have a feeling that we are in for it!









Ho Ho Party

For the past month I've been asking Austin what kind of party he wanted to have for his birthday. I would suggest to him a fish party, as Nemo is his favorite, or a Cars party as he could be happy watching Cars every single day. His reply was the same every single time. "No, Ho Ho party". Translation: He wanted a santa party, and he wanted Santa to come to his party. Luckily my dad owns a Santa suit, and being the great "papee" he is, Santa came to Austin's birthday.


Josh and Alicia made a snowman with Austin before his birthday party.
He loves making snowmen. This is his third one this year!
