Mom's Birthday

Just another year older!

Skiing at Beaver Mountain

This year was the first year that all of us were able to ski together. You could find us most Saturdays up at Beaver Mountain skiing for part of the day. It was so nice to be able to ski as a family.

Caleb Science Fair

Caleb wanted to participate in this years science fair so Jon & him decided to do the paper rocket launcher. He had a great time learning how it worked and making the paper rockets so he could demonstrate them to his school. He practiced his speech a lot so when he had to give to the judges he would be able to answer any questions they had. He did a great job and took 1st place for the third graders.

Valentine's Day

For family night we made homemade Valentine cards for each other. We all got to buy each other their favorite candy bar. We did the traditional doorbell ditching for our Valentine's day!

Grandma & Grandpa Smith were here for Mallory's birthday so they got to help make our sugar cookies this year.

Mallory's 12th Birthday

Mallory turned "12" today!

She is officially one of the Beehives now! It will be so fun to have all 3 girls in YW at the same time for at least a few months before Brianna moves on.

I surprised Mallory and made her a nice comfy blanket for her birthday.

She finally got to get her ears pierced! She was so excited but a little nervous also. We took the whole family including Grandma & Grandpa Smith to the mall to watch her get them pierced.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALLORY!

Sweethearts Dance

Brianna all ready for dinner and the dance. She had spent all morning with her group here at our house. They started early in the morning making breakfast at our house. Then they stayed and played games until about 1 o'clock. They played board games and then the wii. They had a great time making breakfast. They didn't want my help until it was time to make the sourdough pancakes.

Winter Break In Maui!

Jon & I were able to get away for a week and go to Maui again. It is becoming my favorite winter break vacation. It is so nice to get out of Logan during the most ugly & cold weather months. We went with two of Jon's brothers and their wives and then also our friends Mike & Joanne. Jon had meetings that he went to each morning & then we hung out by the pool or biked in the afternoon.

One day we went on a whale watching tour & that was a lot of fun. We were able to see a lot of whales.

Joni, Dave, Jon, Julia, Kris & Doug

Jon wanted to bike up Haleaakala again this time. It is a terrible ride all uphill. He must have forgot how hard it was because he wanted to do it again! It wasn't any easier this time.

We biked around the west side of Maui one day. It is a beautiful ride and the scenery is just unbelievable!

We ended at this ladies house that sells shaved ice. This us sitting in her backyard enjoying the view while we cool off and get ready for the ride back. We had a great week with perfect weather.

Heidi Receives Her Young Women's Medallion

Heidi has worked hard to finish her personal progress for Young Women's and was able to receive her Young Women's Medallion. We are proud of her and the hard work that she put for to finish all the projects.

Christmas Break & New Years Eve 2010

We spent the week between Christmas and New Years at the cabin. We had a great time just hanging out in our pajamas or sweats and snowmobiling all day long. It was super cold so we didn't go far on the snowmobiles. We did try one day and we were frozen and everyone was in tears by the time we made it back to the cabin.

We taught Jack how to drive the little snowmobile this year and he had a great time outside. All he wanted to do was be outside and he didn't care that it was 0 degrees outside!

Jack even brought his puzzle he got for Christmas and was able to put it together each day.

Jon tried our new sledding tube out on the river. He decided it was safe so Mallory went next, unfortunately Mallory slid a little too far and her leg went into the river!

We even banged our pans at midnight. I'm sure the neighbors wondered what was happening but we had a great time!
