Tomorrow is crazy hair day at school

We borrowed this idea from another little girl we found in a google image search. I'm not quite sure how to hide the wire at the back...

Sunrise on Mt Timpanogos

I took these pictures from our backyard last Friday morning. It was the day after the first snowfall of the season. The light catching the tips of the peaks was beautiful. I wish I had a better camera. This was our excuse for being late for school that day...

A health recommendation from Oliver

I took this little video at lunch-time a couple of weeks ago. Oliver came out with a delightful gem of three year old logic. I had the camera right there, so I asked him to say it again so I could film it.

Ivy then added her own endorsement. Clearly, living in the USA she has infomercial exposure.

Out-takes: The first time I asked him to repeat it, Oli forgot his own line.

Happy Easter Sunday

An Easter egg hunt before Church

And a cuddle with the cutest family pet ever...Thumper.

After church we went to dinner and more Easter egg hunting at the Ricks'.

Happy Easter

We observed Good Friday with friends who came to decorate eggs with us.

I forgot to take pictures of the work in progress, but here's a picture of how the kitchen looked when we were finished.

Ice Castles

This afternoon was a perfect little family outing. My friend Mirjam told me about this place. It was amazing.

Toward the end Oliver got very cold and had a great solution in mind; "Lets get hot chocolate!"

After our hot chocolate and an early dinner, the sun was setting, so we drove past one more time to see the Ice Castle all lit up. The ice formations reminded Tim and I of the limestone formations we saw as kids on family outings and school excursions to Jenolan Caves.

Announcing a recommencement of normal services

It really has been a patchy family photo album this past year, and I know that especially for those we love and those we are so far away from, its nice to see what we get up to from time to time.

Don't forget to leave an occasional comment or send us an email. We love to hear from you.
