Daddy's birthday on March 4th
Garrett is putting sentences together now. So instead of "my turn" he says, "it's my turn now." "Mommy, upstairs whiff me."
He has a monster voice that he uses every once in a while to make a point, especially when we are not paying 100% attention to him.
He is learning his colors, he knows pink and orange really well.
He is still obsessed with snowboards, skateboards and guitars. We got my old guitar from my parents over Christmas for the kids and Garrett loves to carry it around. Whenever we talk about going upstairs he says, "Ah geetar." (guitar). He also loves playing the drums and so do we:)
We just got him a snowboard to finish out the season and he is a shredder. Stan took him to Keystone yesterday and he did not want to stop. It snowed like crazy today so we went outside for a good 30 runs down the driveway.

Casey is still loving school. She is a great reader...really good at sounding out words.She knows her 3 & 4 letter sight words really well and loves to practice with her flash cards at dinner. She can read all kinds of books and most importantly, she comprehends what she is reading. She even reads with a little emotion.
She is still involved with Daisy Scouts every other Monday.
She was in gymnastics these past 2 months which she really enjoyed. They had her twirling around the bars; walking forward and backward on the high balance beam and jumping off; working on front rolls, back rolls and cartwheels. She almost has the cartwheel down. She will start up again at the end of April.
We go skiing almost every weekend. She is working on her parallel turns now. She has conquered the wide box in the mini park at Keystone and has hit a couple of the narrow boxes too. She also learned how to cross country ski with Mom & Dad. It's been a fun Winter.

| The Daisy's got a visit from the Summit County Sheriff's office at one of their meetings. The girls donated 10 cases of cookeis to the officers. The officers let the girls play with the sirens, lights and CB's. They also got to meet the only Summit County police dog. |

On February 18th, Grandma Gail, Grandpa Tom and Rimsky drove out to visit. It was a busy week of skiing, going to Garrett's tumbling, and Casey's gymnastics. Friday, we visited Casey's school, met her teachers and ate school lunch (pizza) in the cafeteria.
Aunt Marcy, Uncle Stuart, Lily and Jack arrived February 22nd . We all (except Garrett) got to ski together a couple days before Grandma & Grandpa headed home. The cousins had a great time skiing and playing together and did really well sleeping in the same room all week, including Garrett.

The year is flying by already...we started tweeting this year. As you can see it is posted on our blog or you can follow us at twitter.com/twrightward. I will try and add updates and videos as much as I can on the blog.
