Shwam Fam: Mammoth Mountain with my valentine

Last weekend Mike and I went to Mammoth with some friends during Valentine's Day! It was our ninth Valentine's Day together! I was so excited to go snowboarding, although apprehensive at the same time. I did really good. Mike is awesome! He makes it look so easy. Being paranoid and nervous like I am, I thought it was best to wear a helmet, especially since I haven't boarded since before being pregnant with Mad. I felt much more comfortable this time around. I still hate those chairlifts though. I would prefer to fall off and crawl away quickly before getting hit by the lift behind me. :) On Valentine's morning, Mike had booked a massage for me at Snow Creek Spa and Resort. It was amazing! It was the best gift after a long day of snowboarding. He got points for that! The kids had a fun weekend with Grandma and Grandpa and then with Gamma and Poppy. Thanks for watching them guys! We love you!

Beautiful day on Mammoth Mountain. It was warm and clear!

My hot boarder!

A picture on the lift. LOVE!

Some action shots. Mike can board and take pictures at the same time. I can't. I have to have full concentration on my balance. At one point he had gone down a different run and was calling my cell phone. For a second I was about to answer and then I thought, who am I kidding? I can't talk on the phone while snowboarding.

Steve (Mike's brother), Alec and Mike- These three are the best boarders! Took the Cornice like it was nothing.
