Spring Break 2009

Spring Break!We had lots of fun in Utah for Spring Break. We skied, snowboarded, went to movies, played games, stayed up late, ate good food... It was great to meet up with Owens and other friends from the ward. Here is Katie, Michelle, Hillary & friend Kristin Smith.

Jaren had fun skiing with friends from school.

Jaren riding up with Nick & Nate. They thought that was pretty cool.

This is what the married kids get to do while riding up the chair lift! ;)

A few jumps: (It was the end of the day & we were running out of sun light & I was running out of camera memory! So of course, it was complicated & I didn't get the best jumps. But here are a few fun shots...

This is at our semi-annual tradition of crepes with the YSA's after Stake Confernece. The crowd grows a little each time. Word is getting around how good our crepes are! ;) We made 18 batches of crepes this time!

Lots of wonderful, hungry Young Single Adults.

Jaren's Eagle Scout Court of Honor

March 8, 2009

It was great to finally have Jaren's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. He has been waiting for almost 2 years. It was a busy, crowded event, but we are glad it's done and we are proud of Jaren for this great accomplishment.

We appreciate everyone who came ~ Gma's & Gpa's, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Thank you for coming and sharing this special event with Jaren.

Jaren Basketball 2009

I have some new cool pictures of Jaren I thought I would share. Check him out. He's a stud! It really is so fun to watch him play. He pretty much plays the entire game, unless we are up by 20 and coach feels generous enough to put some other boys in.



He was high scorer, high rebounder, had steals, blocks & assists, and several times he even made more points himself than the rest of the team made combined!

Jaren B-ball video

Okay, we'll see how this works. I've put together a mini highlight video of Jaren. And I mean MINI because these posted videos can only be about 60 seconds long! Don't blink or you might miss a lay up or something! ;) People always say how easy this stuff is and I've been working on this for about 4 hours! I guess Jaren is worth it. Keep your fingers crossed.
