Ice Skating was our Valentine activity. I'm not gonna lie, I was really nervous before I got on the ice. The last time I'd been was around age 9 in Idaho. But Teya was beyond excited, she'd watched her favorite cartoon character go ice skating on an episode, so she was prepared! Jess certainly was a stud on the ice, he was one of the cool kids who can go really fast in the middle of the ring and stop sideways without the toe pick. To the relief of my ego, I didn't ever fall and I was able to hold my own. It was surprisingly freeing and relaxing ... I attribute this to my roller blading days as a kid. I used to pretend I was a speed racer on my blades as I zoomed down the neighborhood streets. I loved the 90's!

Unfortunately, every shot is painfully blurry. Our camera was practically dead; it complained,and whined, and gave us a hard time about taking these shots.

Holding this position for an hour with T-nug between the legs was a REALLY good work out. It's also not a very flattering pose...had I seen these pictures sooner I would have tried to change it up a little, like bringing in the butt some.


Her legs in those gray tight pants with the tiny little skates was my favorite part!

Notice the scarf Jessie? It's stylin, good choice!
Such tiny skates, so stinkin cute... I wanted to frame them or something.
And the scarf Teya's got is from the ever so stylish mammas, Naomi and Pam.
Uhhh, maybe I should explain my sweet padded high-impact gloves... we don't have any of our winter clothes with us (why would we in SoCal?), so Jess' motorcycle gloves stepped in and got the job done.
