Happy Spring!

We had a nice March 2009. Tara and Brad began the month with a fun trip to Boulder City and Las Vegas, Nevada. They were able to get in some good mountain biking and visited the Hoover Dam in Boulder City, and spent one evening in Las Vegas. The girls are well and are eager to have some warmer weather so they can play outside more. Tara's sister Anne is in town again for another rotation for her physicians' assistant program, and the girls are enjoying spending time with their Auntie! Enjoy the March photos.

Winter Rolls On

With Christmas, New Years and Valentine's Day behind us, we can't help but turn our thoughts toward the coming spring and warmer days. However, as we continue to play in the snow, the lingering days of winter don't seem so bad and we are reminded of all of the fun winter has left to offer. Carly has been skiing up a storm. She rides the chairlift (with someone to help lift her on and off) and skis down on her own with no edgie wedgie. She even rode the gondola at Snowbasin in Utah and skied all of the way down the mountain! Lizzy is not skiing yet, but is eager to start. Next year, Lizzy! Tara and the girls went to visit Grandpa D for several days last week and had a nice visit with a lot of quality snow time! Enjoy these photos, and the few remaining days of winter!

December

Has December come and gone already? We had a good and bad month. Lots of holiday fun, but Tara's grandmother passed away on the 26th. It was a very sad loss, but she had been ill for some time and we know she is in a better place.
We had our second annual kids' cookie decorating party in the middle of the month. We had twice as many cookie artists this year and it was so much fun! We celebrated Christmas three times with various family combinations. We love the holidays and feel very fortunate to have so many loved ones to share it with. Enjoy the photos.
