Black Diamond

I think I missed my opportunity to get a picture of Savanah and Justin - ski season is over!!!

This was a great year for all the kids skiing. Savanah and Justin had two different days where they skied black diamond runs - scary! The loved every minute of it and had Jeff there to get them down the tricky parts. They are all excited to try it again next season!

Soldier Hollow






Our extended family had their annual tubing night at Soldier Hollow. It was so much fun! This was the first year we have taken Ethan and Kate - they did great! Jeff took Ethan and I took Kate which worked really well. We tried a run with the whole family, unfortunately we didn't communicate with each other and five of us put our feet down to stop at the bottom which created a huge snow/ice storm all around us! At that point Ethan and Kate were done - too much snow in the face!




Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma that make this fun evening possible for everyone!

Valentine's

We had a great Valentine's weekend! The kids celebrated at school on Friday which was especially fun for Emily and Savanah due to them thinking boys aren't quite as gross as they used too be! Jeff and I got the kids their favorite cup cakes from Dippidee - always a hit!

Saturday night Jeff and I were able to go to dinner together - alone! We decided not to exchange gifts this year but have an evening together, which was great.

Sunday the Brown's came over to celebrate and to kick off the start of the amazing race! The kids always have a fun time, yummy food is always involved, and we always have a great time being with their family!

(the tulips are from Aunt Sandy to me for Valentines!)

Manti


Michele received her endowments on Saturday...at the Manti Temple! Laura was willing to make the trip with me and I am so glad we went! I love being able to see different temples than the ones I usual go to and it was especially neat to see a "live" session.
