Spring Time

Oh! How we love spring break skiing! Here we are at Alta. We had the best skiing conditions. The snow was perfect, not to icy, not slushy, not windy, not to hot, just a beautiful day. Nathaniel and Jonathan have a great time being ski buddies.


Here is proof that a 79 year old man ski's. Howard and his brothers, Matt and Kurt, were able to take some of the kids over to the expert ski run. Alf's High Rustler. Victoria and I are quite content to ski the beautiful groomers with Isabella.

Mackenzie brought her boyfriend, Jackson. He telemarked and was still able to keep up with all the challenging terrain the boys threw at him, I guess that's a good sign he is a keeper ; ) He passed the ski test!

Isabella has always adored her cousin Madison, here they are enjoying a ride on the ski lift together.



Alexander and Joshua went on an Aaronic Priesthood campout last weekend. They were presented with the challenge of building a boat out of cardboard and duct tape. The Stake Youngmen's President was positive their handmade boat would sink, He was so sure, that he told them if it floated he would make them his famous ribs. They are looking forward to that treat!

And here is the proof that it did float. They won the contest, their boat did not sink, and it went back and forth across the river. Great team work boys, and brilliant ingenuity!!
