Alice's Horses

Chase (Picture 1) has been on Alice's horses before and enjoys riding. Justen (Picture 2) has never been on the horses before and remains as unenthusiastic as me. Nikkail (on the left in Video 1) has ridden a lot and has always enjoyed riding. Maryn, however (on the right in Video 1), has never had any desire to even get near the horses in the past, but now has decided that riding is pretty fun.

Nikkail's Concert

Nikkail had an orchestra and choir concert on May 23, 2011. She performed in both.

Kelsey's Dance Recital

Kelsey had her dance recital on May 20, 2011.

2011 Birthdays

For each grandchild's birthday in 2011, we decided to have a portrait taken with just that grandchild and us. We have some great portraits so far of Maryn, Nikkail, Kelsey, and Liam, but we can't post them because of copyright restrictions, so Kelsey will represent them in a picture with her birthday cake.

Maggie's Birthday and Baptism

Maggie turned eight on February 15th, and was baptized and confirmed by her father, Trent.

Another Great Christmas

Again, Alice and I stayed in "our motel" in Ogden on December 24th. We went to a movie and exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, we had breakfast at the motel, then visited McAuleys, Gardners, and Jensens. About 6 pm, everyone gathered at Kristi's for dinner. It was a great day.

Weeping Cherry

One of our favorite things about our house is our Weeping Cherry Tree. We had never seen one before, but it came with the landscaping. Here are the 3 stages of the tree from blossoms, to fall colors, to bare with Christmas lights.
