And the winner is......


Alex and a couple of his buddies entered the Einstein Math Bowl at school. For the last three days, they have stayed after school and done head to head competition with the kids who entered. Today, their team, the math hornets, won the championship. Way to go Alex, Chase and Kaden!

More winter fun!

Since we live in Utah where we have the greatest snow on earth, we decided we would try skiing and snowboarding.

We headed up to the mountain two weeks ago for our first try. The kids were all really excited to give it a try.

Bizzy was absolutely amazing! She got right up and stayed up the whole time! She was actually ready to head-up the mountain about 30 minutes after we got there. It was really fun to watch her go!



This is how Andrea spent most of the day but she worked really hard! Gary is getting an exclusive interview with the cutest snowboarder on the mountain.

Alex did a pretty good job. We decided that it is something that we all enjoy and want to keep doing. This is something that the whole family can do and have lots of fun!

GRRRR!!

I have been trying to post some of the fun things we have been up to but my computer will not upload the pictures! It is making me really grumpy but I will keep on trying and hopefully it will work!

On another note, I just wanted to share something that Alex has decided to do. April is sexual assault awareness month so he has decided to Walk-A-Mile-In-Her-Shoes. He is going to walk a one mile course in women's high heel shoes to take a stand against sexual assault. He is also raising money to help with prevention education. I am so proud of him! You can read more about the event here. His goal is to be the walker with the most money raised. You can sponsor him here. Please make sure to leave his name in the comment box as the walker sponsored. THANKS!

Winter fun

So these are from awhile ago but we had so much fun I wanted to post them. A few weeks ago we went up to Old Main to go sledding. Gary tried to help Andrea snowboard.
Bizzy has NO FEAR! This child scares me because she will do just about anything! The faster she could go, the better!


Alex and Andrea were "sled mates" . She had no problem letting Alex take the lead and eat most of the snow.


Bizzy and Gary got some serious speed on the little saucer sled! I went down once and that was enough for me. I am lucky that Gary was there to entertain the kids while I took the pictures:-)

For my kids

 So I recently showed my kids the blog and they LOVED it! We have looked at all the posts several times and had some good laughs. I decided ...
