Our friends Heather & David Denning own a rafting company in Stanley, Idaho. Last summer, Hannah was asked to come and go rafting for a photo shoot so that they could update their brochure. They got some great photos, and one of them was chosen for their company's homepage. Go check it out! http://www.therivercompany.com/

Spring Skiing at it's Finest!
The week after we got back from Utah was the last day of skiing at Tamarack. It was a fantastic Spring day with slushy snow. That makes it easy for 3 year olds to carve turns. When we pulled up, Jonah's friend Noah and his family parked near us, so we got this photo of those two. Noah is almost 3 and lives around the block from us. We spend at least 1-2 days a week with Noah and his mom Jadie (pronounced Yeah-dee) and little sister Zoe. Noah and Jonah got to ski a bit with each other which was great. Jonah skied better than he had all year. By the end of the day, he was chasing me down the bunny hill on his skis and turning like a pro. I had a blast. It seemed like all the days of snowplowing, picking him up, letting him hold onto my poles, and cheering him on had finally paid off!! Hannah skied with a friend off the Tamarack Express lift. She is a really good skier and gets bored skiing on the easy runs. I am embarassed to say these are the only photos I took of my kids skiing all year, especially since it is one of the most fun things we do as a family. It is truly Nate's favorite thing to do, and it makes him so happy when we all get to do it together. It hasn't been very often the last couple of years, but I have a feeling that now that Jonah is on board (no pun intended) that will make all the difference in the world.
Okay, here is my lame attempt at videotaping Jonah skiing. The first one is super short, and the second one will make you dizzy. Sorry. I was totally unprepared, and then it ended up being our last run of the day. Consider yourself warned. Oh, and PLEASE TURN YOUR SOUND OFF!!

Utah Highs
A few more highlights of our trip (that I actually got photos of) . . .
Playing with Jasmine, Grandma Karen's cat. 
Eating Grandma Karen's Chocolate Mousse Pie ~ Yummy!
Seeing my friends Cathie, Keri, Tammy & RuthAnn from Bear Lake. Tammy lucked out and had to go hang out on the 3rd row at a Jazz game before I got the camera out. Hannah also spent some time with her friend Shae from Laketown, and the Jarman boyz. The Jarmans were ever so hospitable letting us sleep over and feeding us and taking time to play the Wii and Scrapbook with us. Yes, I said Scrapbook. We are looking forward to August when we will get to go hang out on the beach with our Bear Lake friends. We miss you guys!!
Getting to see Cathie's little boy Ryder who she and her husband Shane adopted about a year and a half ago. He is such a cutie!
- Going to the FunPark in Cache Valley with Estee & Sam. We did the soft play thing with slides and Hannah played skee-ball & video games.
- Hanging with Grandma & Grandpa Hunt.
- Lying on a blanket for 2 hours at the park while my kids played with Zane, Lauren & Abbie. You must understand, there was no grass at home. Not even a trace when we left, so this was a fantastic treat.
- Playing with Sam.
- Going to Tanner's baseball game in Bear River City - COLD AND WINDY!!
- Nate and Aaron snowmobiling & skiing in Cache National Forest.
- Nate, Aaron & Estee taking Hannah on "Spring Road" powder runs at Beaver Mountain.
Hogle Zoo with Cousin Sam
One of the fun things we did in Utah was go to the Hogle Zoo. We got to spend the afternoon with Sam and his mom Estee. Estee is married to Nate's brother Aaron. Sam was super funny. He put his head down and RAN everywhere we went. Jonah's favorite animal was the Zebra and Hannah liked the Giraffes. They were so close to us she almost touched one!
