"Grandmother Bread"

Family - I found a great blog written by a grandma who lives on a farm in West Virginia. There are many great recipes there. This one looks very promising, Jared and I are going to try making it this afternoon before Tom comes home from work. Just check to make sure your yeast isn't old before starting. Bon appetit!

While we're on the phone...

This is what happened to Tom while he was on the phone yesterday. (Jared is holding his favorite "silky green" blanket.)

Before and After Swim Lessons

The first is Jared "before" our week of swim lessons and the second is Jared "after" swim lessons. Before he wouldn't completely join the Carroll's kids in their tiny pool. Now we face the problem of overconfidence in big pools.

Visit with Grandma

On Friday, Kara, Chuck, Corbin, Kayden, Kathryn & Jared made the trip up to Lancaster to visit Grandma. We had a great time talking and lunching together. The kids had a great time playing together. Several times this week, when asked, "What would you like to do today?" Jared has replied "I want to go to Grandma Joyce's house! Can we do that?"

So cute

So here are some pictures Krystle sent me of herself and Claire. I really like this first one because it seems like Krystle finally took my advice and is training Claire to work for her supper. She might not enjoy it now, but she'll thank you in the future. Plus, with the new baby on the way Krystle will need all the help she can get. The least Claire could do is to sweep the floors. Don't worry, she'll get use to it, her tears will lessen over time. I hope you enjoy the rest of the pictures. I know I did. Since we are so spread out it's difficult to keep up to date with Krystle's pregnancy and everything but it looks like she is doing great! Our little fatty, sigh, so cute.

Happy news!

Kathryn and Tom are expecting! We are overjoyed that the IVF cycle worked!

Like Father, Like Son

Jared doesn't do sippy cups anymore, but he was more than willing to show Uncle Steve his original "hands-free" technique. Tom didn't want to be left out.

And, joy upon joys, Jared's cowlick has appeared - a perfect copy of Tom's.

I was born to snowboard

Here is the evidence that I actually got up while on my first snowboarding experience! We went up to Solitude in Little Cottonwood Canyon outside of Salt Lake on the last day of the season. It was really warm and so the snow was a little slushy, but that made it softer when I fell down. And I fell down A LOT. A LOT. I spent most of my time on my tush or on my knees and got many sympathy nods and smiles from more experienced skiers and snowboarders alike. Even the little kids came up to reassure me. One little boy came and showed me his new skis and told me to keep trying - he was 4. And his younger sister was learning to ski at 2. I felt super cool. BUT, every story has a bright ending. By my 4th run of the day I finally got it and was able to stand and go down a hill without wiping out every 3 seconds and it was great! Maybe next season I'll be better....
