Raquel had new pictures taken of the kids.  I do love grand kids.

Bowen's Boulders - 89th Ward Volley Ball Team

Our University Ward (89th Ward) has a volleyball team.  We were able to watch one of their games.  The ward is a great bunch of kids.  We have learned a lot from them.  

Kinsley's dance lesson

Each Wednesday I pick Kinsley up from school and then she comes home with me until it is time for dancing lessons.  I get to watch her at her lesson. It is a special time to spend with my granddaughter.

Curves

These pictures are of a few of the ladies that show up each morning around 6:00 am  to work out on the machines at Curves.  We have a great time, I learn more there than anywhere and it comes with a lot of laughter.   I have become very good friends with Leola Barnhill.  We leave Curves and then go walk  on the indoor track at the University.   (Pitures-Kareena, Jill Wolfley, Ashlee Cargal, Susan Farmer, Leola Barnhill, and Paula Godfry.  Usually there also is Ellen Barzee and Tami Clements)  

Hays Thank you card

I love the signatures from all 4 of them.

Big Sky- Cross Country Skiing

 These pictures were taken right out our motel window.  It even started snowing a little bit this morning. We were so close to everything, it was great.  I love it when you can ski right to your room.
We also found some wonderful cross country trails in Big Sky. It was great to get away for a few days and spend it outside in the snow.

Skiing at Big Sky

 The day was gorgeous for skiing.  The sun was so bright and the snow was good.
 Randy and i enjoying the day.
 There were not very many people at Big Sky so the trails were almost empty.
 These are a few of the houses in the Yellowstone Club that were right on one of the trails.  Amazing to think they are only used probably once or twice a year.
Randy and I upgraded to helmets.  I thought they would be miserable to wear but they are awesome.
On  a clear day Lone Peak is awesome also.  The Tram goes to  the top and you can ski down.  Not on my bucket list.

Big Sky

Next we headed to Big Sky.  A picture of Lone Peak in the distance, a hockey game being played and the famous bear in the lobby of the Huntley.  Good memories from years before when we use to take all the kids to Big Sky with us.

Harriman State Park

 Randy and I decided to escape for a few days We started out at  Harriman Sate Park to do a little cross country skiing..  It was 17 degrees but the sun was shining.
The view was gorgeous.  We saw swan's on the river and did not pass another soul the whole time we were on the trails.  It is so pretty and peaceful there.

Jack Frost

When we left the temple this morning Jack Frost had really done a paint job on the valley.  It was 3 degrees and the sun was shining.  The frost was about a inch thick  on all the trees.  What a beautiful morning.

Cross Country Skiing

My new skis from Christmas are working wonderful.  I did not realize how old my others were.  I crossed over the fence today and skied in Anderson's field.  It was great.

Oliver- Chess Tournment

Oliver Hays competing in his first Chess Tournament.  Go, Oliver !!!!!!

ElkRefuge

 We drove over to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  When you were at the top of the pass the whole valley was covered in a dense fog.  We drove through the fog and it was clear below.  I always love the elk horn arch.  The grand kids (Kinsley, Keagan, Holden) are in front of the visitors center.
 We went to see the Elk Refuge.  We loaded on a wagon and went out among the elk.
 There were lots and lots of elk.  The bull elk were the most impressive.
 The family at the end of our ride with Meredith our guide.
A fun day at the Elk Refuge.   Kinsley, Keagan and Holden, with the horses, Jacob and Jasper.

Lily and June

Hillary asked Lily what her resolution was.  She said she doesn't like resolutions.  Hillary explained to her they are things that you want to do better for the next year.  She revised to say she wants to dance better so she is better than Caleb and Hillary.
June pulling her toy that grandpa made for her.  

Hays Family

We missed the Hays Family at Christmas time but we did enjoy their Christmas presents.  The jam from local Oregon berries was amazing.  And the boys had made crayons.  Their family got to go to Portland and see the Zoo Lights.  Henry likes to decorate the stairway.

Harriman State Park

Randy, Ashley and I tried out our skis again.  It is always fun at Harriman.  It was such a beautiful day and the snow was great.  

Zip

 The neighbor cat came to the back windows and Zip was not sure she liked that.  There was quite a bit a hissing going on.
Zip loves to sit in the sunshine!!!!
