Snowshoeing...Successful This Time

Between forgetting snowshoes and canyons being closed, we haven't had the most successful winter of snowshoeing. Well, we had a good adventure on President's Day.

We went up to Donut Falls in Big Cottonwood. Since it was so popular, most of the trail was pretty packed, but it is a pretty hike and the fall were fun.


Dy playing between a couple of pools of water. It was really pretty cool. That skinny crossing through the rock wall the almost caused both of us to get wetter than we planned on.





















This narrow was pretty cool!

Making a Mess...er...Cookies

These are the closest thing we have to kids...besides nieces and nephews. As we live in a basement apartment, these are the kids from the family upstairs. Dy enjoyed an afternoon of making sugar cookies around Valentine's Day. They are fun and love having some people living in their basement. Every once in a while we would come home to some candy wrappers on the floor and the door to the main house mysteriously open. Now there is a child proof lock on the door. They are fun to have around.


Little Savanah is the one who likes to sneak downstairs for candy.

President Hinckley Tribute

I know a lot of these have been going around recently, but here are a few links to some nice tributes to President Hinckley that I found very touching and were a great way to celebrate his life. He was a great man and the prophet during so many influential years in my life. I am glad that he his happy and united with his wife. What an amazing man.

While I treasure those great memories from President Hinckley's life and tenure as prophet, I look forward to the leadership of President Monson. I had the opportunity to live in President Monson's stake for over 4 years and had his home teacher in the bishopric. This provided some incredible opportunities to attend meetings with President Monson and gain some wonderful insight to the amazing person he too is. I am grateful for the leadership of latter-day prophets to guide us the same way Christ instituted in the primitive church. What a comfort to know He is the same yesterday, today and forever!
