Isaac Turns the BIG 2

"Happy Birthday to You" He's clapping at the end of the song.

Mom's attempt at a Basketball going through a hoop. He loves any kind of ball.

playing with some new toys

bubbles are fun for everyone

Sister Peterson, our neighbor and surrogate Grandma

Londyn's YW B-ball team

Londyn opted-out of playing City ball this year. Way to competitive. She enjoys Young Women ball much better. It's all about the FUN!!!

They spend a lot of time on the floor... Funny girls to watch

Yeah!!! It finally Snowed!!!!

Kids in the backyard after a day of lots of snow. They built this igloo, but that's as far as they got before the following days it melted and didn't get to dig out a hole.

Enjoying the 4-wheeler at the Gillett's house. Kids hooked up a train of sleds on the back. It was hilarious watching them.


Lucy, JoLee, Jenson, Jack, and Adam

Little ol' driver so lively and quick... left her passengers in the dust when they fell off.

This is why Jack ended up falling off the train most of the time, but he was entertaining.

...and a good ol' fashion game of spoons to end our day

Valentine's Dance

The Young Women put on a Valentines dinner/dance for the adults each year as their fund raiser. They do a great job serving us and finding music from the 80's.

Ryan was a good sport and danced the night away with me, even though he said he'd rather be in the dentist chair... Ha, Ha, Ha

Winter-time???

This has been a strange, warm, winter that Utah hasn't seen in 40 years. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying for record sake. Here's Lucy getting a suntan in the middle of winter...with her snow boots on. She's hoping for snow.

It looks like Maggie is panting, and probably is


We had to go to the mountains to find some snow

These are the sledding hills at Soldier Hollow we went to for FHE.

Londyn with her tube just finishing her ride down the hill

Isaac went once, but when he figured out what we made him do he wouldn't go back up the tow-rope again

Sunday Activity

Here's another example of their pillow and blanket creations.

Lucy at the bottom...

Adam's turn...

...and Londyn
