First Spring Hike

Greg and I went for a nice little hike up City Creek to welcome the wonderful day! The last two days have been gorgeous! Perfect temperature, blue skies, and big white puffy clouds over the green mountains.

Visiting Alex

In March, we visited Alex and his family. As usual, we had a great time. We didn't take very many pictures (we were too busy having fun) but here are some we took!

Aedin and Winrey are taking ice-skating lessons - just for fun. The Olympic oval is not too far from where they live, so it's a perfect opportunity for family fun. It was so cute to see the little kids skating around.

Lanette showed us a little trick she could do. Alex showed how well he could skate backwards.

Greg and I stayed safely on the sidelines, but we enjoyed watching everyone very much.

Gingerbread Houses

On Christmas afternoon we had a good time creating gingerbread houses. Mark and Jan were a team, Glen an Sarah were a team, and Danny did one all by himself. Hmm, I wonder how many calories are in all those houses!

Christmas Decorations

The Christmas decorations are up! I made the Nativity Wall hanging many years ago. The wooden figures are from Israel.

I like to put up my Christmas cards from past years. They are grouped by style. For example, note the Christmas cards arranged as a Nativity Scene. There are also cards that are groupings of snowy scenes, old fashioned Christmas etc. I got the radish ornament in Levenworth, Washington at a Christmas store there. (I collect fruit ornaments.)

Kendal's Skate Practice

One of our days in California, we went to see Kendal, skate. She is a serious skater and does both figure skating and short track speed skating. She is an amazing skater, and a really nice person too. We love her.

Many other skaters were there too. Some have been in the Olympics. It was fun to see them, but we were really there for Kendal.


In one of the pictures she is talking to her coach. It's blurry because I took the picture through the glass.


Annette is a great support to Kendal and is always there to take her to practices, lessons, and events; sew her beautiful costumes, and cheer for her on the sidelines!


The last picture is a series of pictures of Kendal in action.
