sledding with the kids at Bogus

The day before John's baptism we went sledding up at Bogus with both sets of grandparents. It was a lot of fun. They had a nice safe run with a rope tow so we could sled down and get towed back up. It was perfect for the kids and grandparents alike who were all a little nervous that they might injure themselves. It was military appreciation day so we got all of the tickets for super cheap! I love military discounts!

Bogus Basin





To celebrate our 10 year anniversary and graduation from residency, Justin and I went on a four day trip up to Boise to go skiing and sample the night life here in Idaho. It was wonderful!! Both of us had only been skiing a few times when we were teenagers so there was a lot to relearn or really learn for the first time. I have to admit that after the first day I was seriously worried that I might die on the mountain. On my last run I totally lost control and flew down the mountain as fast as gravity would pull me. I really was kind of freaked after that, but the next day we went I got my confidence back and was feeling like a pro. We stayed at the anniversary inn all week and it was amazing! I really didn't think a room would make that big of a differnce, but it really did. The room was absolutely beautiful and they brought us breakfast every morning and cheesecake and sparkling cider every evening. It was great! The best part was the 2 person jetted tub. Everyday after skiing all day we would come back and take a nice long soak in the tub. I can't think of anywhere else we could have gone to have more fun.

John's Baptism




John was baptized on Feb 7, 2009. It was a wonderfully spiritual experience with both grandparents and Mike and Sarah and family came. We really had a great time. Too short with all of the family, but we'll take what we can get. John was so handsome. It is amazing how quickly our children are growing. I can't believe that we now have two boys who are baptized and are reading the Book of Mormon on their own. It is amazing!
