jimmy heuga 2011

For the past few years Erik and I have participated in a wonderful non-profit organization Vertical Express: Heuga Foundation at Squaw Valley.  They raise money and awareness for those living with Multiple Sclerosis.  My parents have been involved with the Heuga Foundation for over 20 years and have helped raise many thousand of dollars.  This year alone, mostly my parents, raised over $8000.00 dollars! The Wagner family came up for their 2cd year as members of our ski team and we all had fun playing at Squaw Valley and helping out with a great cause.

First Haircut

It was time to give Finn his first haircut when I noticed his hair was taking a mullet shape...I was so reluctant to cut his hair, because it took SO long for it to come in... He was MR. baldy for so long, I wanted to give it a fighting chance.  AND I didn't want to cut any of that precious blonde hair off, knowing soon, it will probably darken to brown.  

riding my trike...

Finn LOVES cruising around our neighborhood on his scoot trike!  The only problem is he throws an absolute tantrum when we have to turn around... Even if we try and trick him with a loop... but he sure is cute while riding! 

car shopping

I guess he's a little young... but boys do love their cars!  Even if they're plastic and pink!

 Now that's a scary sight! 

Finnly and Technology...

Finnly is truly a boy of the technological era... And he prefers Apple products.  He's been able to operate Gechon's ipad and my iphone from about 1.5 years old... He's working on his computer skills... but prefers the touch screen to a key board.  He can recognize most cell phone rings and will shout "PHONE!!!" So, if you're around Finn, you probably won't miss a call :-)

Lake Tahoe 2011!

We decided to make a last minute trip up to Lake Tahoe with my parents.  The weather was perfect, sunny upon arrival and snowing on our last day... just enough cold for me :-) Erik and my brother skied on Saturday while Finn and I enjoyed the warm cabin and ventured out for a little sledding.  The last day we all played in the fresh snow with Finn.  He discovered that snow tastes good and gloves are actually a good thing to keep on our hands. Our little frog had so much fun in the snow!  Hours later, we had to bribe him to come in with a cookie :-) Dad was cold...

San Jose Discovery Museum

Finn and I went to the discovery museum for the first time... well not my first time with a couple of his playmates.  I remember going to it as a kid and making corn husk dolls... you can still make them.  However, the space has been re-done many times over and is a great place to bring a curious toddler.
