Easter Weekend!

The Easter Bunny brought Grandma.....

or better said; Grandma brought Easter!

This past weekend was "eggs"-tra special because we got to spend it with Grandma K! Bode and I took the train and met her in Bern last Wednesday. Then we spent the next 5 days (short visit) shopping, sledding, playing at the park, skiing, coloring eggs, hunting for eggs, rocking out with all the new instruments she brought, and much much more!

We are so thankful for her and the personal sacrifices she makes inorder to visit and be apart of our lives. It is never taken for granted the fact that she will travel for over 24hr, spend 5 short days, only to turn around and travel that far again. Not to mention having to get up for work the next day. It's safe to say she hits the ground running.

She is a woman of strength and an amazing example of selflessness. Each visit we share, I am reminded how lucky I am to have her not only as a mother, but as a true friend!

Thank you Grandma K; we love you!

True Love

The other day Bode & I were looking at blog's and got a kick out of Adi's newest funny face.....


Later that day, I came into the room to find Bode had discovered how to make funny faces too.......


I swear these two are a match made in heaven.
Love you Cutler's!

Trains, Trams, & Gondolas!

So this past weekend we decided to put our all inclusive ski pass to use in more ways then just hitting the slopes. Bode loves anything that goes vroom-vroom, beep-beep, honk-honk, or choo-choo, so we thought it would be fun to go on a little family trip using only trains, trams, gondolas, and buses.

We started our journey here in G'wald where we jumped on the train for a 20 min ride to Zweilitschen. There we changed trains and headed to Lauterbrunnen. In Lauterbrunnen we stopped at the bike shop and look into ordering Bode a "Like-a-bike". (They are these darling bikes made out of wood that are designed to help children learn how to ride a bike without the use of training wheels. check 'em out. They are awesome! www.likeabike.com


From Lauterbrunnen, we took another train up to Wengen. Wengen is a town that is only accessible by train and is a "walking only" village. Plus the host of the World Cup ski race which we love to attend yearly with our good friends Nyman's; we miss you guys!

Once in Wengen, we got on the Tram and went up to Männlichen to see Grosi (Mandel's mom). She works in the Restaurant at the ski lodge and spoiled us with a delicious lunch. Thanks Vreni!
After lunch, we checked out the helicopters & groomers, then got on the Gondola and headed back down to Grindelwald. Our excursion ended with a bus ride back to the village center and then home with Daddy's Jeep.

Here are some cute pictures from our day on the go.......
