Shreddin' Betty

Carly completed her four ski lessons this month. She had a new instructor for her last lesson who was excellent! She had Carly's group going up the chairlift by the end of the lesson. Carly had a lot of fun and wants to continue going up to the mountain with her mom and dad.

The Amazing Turpen Sisters!

Carly and Lizzy are always up to something. They are quite a pair.

Go Bolts!

Lizzy is a true Charger fan and cheered them on throughout all three of their playoff games this year. Following their loss to the New England Patriots she stated, "We had good momentum coming into the game and it was a disappointing loss, but we'll get 'em next year!". What a fan.

Carly hits the slopes

Carly took her first ski lesson today. She was in a really good mood after the lesson and said she liked it. She said she learned how to make a pizza and french fries with her skis. I didn't get any pictures of her today, but plan to get some at one of her lessons this month.

Carly's first time Bowling

Carly went bowling for the first time and loved it! She bowled a whopping 66. She told her Grandpa D she wants to go bowling everytime she visits, and everyday!

LIzzy is walking!

Lizzy started walking at just over 13 months-old. She is quickly mastering the skill, and is especially proud of herself when she carries something and walks at the same time! Press the play button above to see her in action.
