Camping sounds so fun while still in winter.

July 2013 and 2016 - back when you didn't have to make reservations 4-6 months in advance to stay in a campground.

Mason, Camrie, and Sadie were all cracking me up tonight. Lots of laughing for our Sunday evening.

Lizzi came to visit. We went to the temple, JCW’s, and a live podcast recording of Standards of Truth.

Happy birthday to a dog gone good dog. You can count on the family text thread to come through.

I went sledding with the ladies this morning and once we found a good spot it was so much fun! It was my perfect kind of sledding.

Went on a hike this morning with Lorien. It wasn’t that fun trudging up the slushy muddy road while sinking through a bit but it was nice to get some mountain air. It was tiring and we were thankful when we could follow someone’s previous tracks. Something about if someone has gone before they can make it easier for those that come after. Be that person who helps others along after you have experience. 

PS. Believe it or not I didn’t take a single picture. And the mountains were kinda pretty with snow and sun. Here's a pic from game night with Mason and Rachael where I found the zeros.

Darren bought a slide scanner so we can go through my parents slides. We looked at a few tonight and they are awesome. The photos below are me during the summer 1982 (9 years old). 

We spent a lot of summer weekends at Lake Powell. The Christensen brothers had boats so it was a family thing to go. I remember jumping off rocks and eating jello jigglers (we would drive into a cove and all have lunch on the boats, passing food back and forth). 

Ready for church and not happy about having to wear church clothes. I probably just came inside from shooting hoops in the backyard.
