Good news from the Jordan Brand Classic, Josh Selby the number 4 ranked player in the country committed to Kansas. This is big after Xavier and Cole announced they're headed to the NBA. Here is a video of the next great Jayhawk

Brooks Easter Bunny

This was my mom's Easter creation this year and I just loved it! It makes me laugh so hard for some reason and I thought that everyone needs a good laugh too. She made it out of the pop out bread. She rocks and I continue to strive to be just like her.

Spring has Sprung!

Oh this is just such a wonderful site...Bring on the spring time!!!

Gotta figure out how to steal this plate....

Our Friends Ben and Jerry

So the Ben and Jerry's factory just happened to be on the way home from Stowe, so of course we had to stop. It was very cool to see how ice cream is made, and even more fun to eat it. Considering that I gave up all sweets for Lent, this couldn't have been better timing. Happy Easter to me.

Just missing my partner Jerry...

1st Mitchell Ski Trip-Stowe 2010

So we survived our first ski trip together. It was absolutely perfect and while I have a lot of work to do on my skiing, it was so nice to be back on the snow (or lack of snow). The weather was so warm and made for fantastic skiing weather, but it did cause there to be large patches of grass on the slopes and the snow to be VERY slushy. I blame the poor snow conditions for my terrible skiing...(ok maybe that was not the only reason) I let Jay ski by himself the first day. He did all the hard runs and was nice and worn out for the second day with me. (Well, that was the plan at least.) He stayed with me all day and was so patient with my poor skills. He was an amazing coach and did not give up on me even when I loudly expressed, "this is not fun for me". (oops...just anxiety and frustration coming out. )As the day when on, I got more comfortable and ready to conquer this skiing thing. Watching a crazy girl on the mountain, crying from anxiety and so nervous, I knew I couldn't be that bad. Still have many years of practice, but feel I can get there. Here are a few shots from the trip.

First run of Day 2 skiing for Jay, Day 1 of skiing together-notice the amount of clothes and the patient face

I am super happy-but have not yet had a run...

loing layers..temperature creeping up to the 80s

The run I did almost all day...the only one that didn't cause a panic attack.

Coach Jay and proud student...

Not your everyday sight...just too cute not to capture

Ski day complete, I survived and now time to enjoy some beers, sunshine and live music. What a wonderful weekend.

Good Bye Old Friend

So, we had to turn in the Acura. It was a sorta sad day. It was the car I met Jay in, the car we took many road trips in and the car I officially learned to drive standard in. You will be missed old blue friend.
