Easter Arch

We left Sunday after church and drove to Moab to camp and see Arches. The first picture is Delicate Arch, then Tower Arch and then Partition Arch. We are doing a 5 day backpack trip with Mike's family the first week in June so we are "starting to get ready". On the way home we stopped to see Dead Horse Point for the first time and then, of course, the stop in Price to check out all the favorite places. Lots of fun!

Peanut Reunion

Friday night we attended the Cambodia Mission reunion in Provo. There was a little meal with noodles, rice, donuts. Carl asked if it had any peanut in it and they said it was fine. I bit later he asked if I had any Benadryl. We had a great time at the reunion, but he was itching all the way home. His face and hands were all read, etc. First time in 1 1/2 years! (since Cambodia).

Latest relative news-Jessica had a little girl last week and Kristy had a little boy about a month ago.

Spring in Utah-week 2

Last week the snow was all gone and I could count the daffodils coming up in the front of the house and the tulips coming up in the back yard. They looked a bit thirsty so the snow and rain should make them very happy! Yesterday we went snowshoeing to make good use of the snow. Fun to get out in the snow. Carl is working on redoing his mission scrapbook and childhood/teenage years scrapbook as they were falling apart. He is doing "family history" work, but I won't tell him that! Love, Donna

Spring in Utah

We finished painting the basement just before Dan, Jonna, and Brighton arrived on Mar. 13! That was a lot of ceiling to paint and then all of those walls, but it looks great. When Carl was finishing the base boards he looked up and the deer were watching him through that first window when you walk into the basement. Dan and Jonna have been night skiing several times and are at Park City today so we play with B. We did go cross country skiing last week up by Heber. The snow is gone for today so Carl has been doing some beginning yard work. I planted some tulips last and they are actually coming up!

In-n-Out Utah

A couple of weeks ago we heard on the Utah news that 2 new In-n-Out's will be opening in Utah sometime in the next year. Carl said, "That would be great news for the blog".
Let's see what is going on lately--Last night we went to a BYU basketball game with Mike and the boys. Last week I drove to Idaho to spent a couple of days with Mom. There was no snow in Heyburn or on the drive to Idaho. On that Thurs. we drove to Twin Falls. The wind was about 40 miles per hour driving down and in 2 hours time when we drove back to Heyburn it was a blizzard. Lots of excitment!

Last week all of the snow was gone from the lawn which was amazing. The next day we had a snow storm with about 5 inches of snow, but it always thaws faster now. Kristy had her baby last Sunday (a little boy) and I think he is names Joshua. Yesterday was a family history conference all day. The past 2 or 3 weeks we painted the basement and cleaned the carpets and tile. Hope Brighton likes the colors!

Back in Utah

We were in Sacramento area from January 28-February 7th. So nice to meet Porter! Kathryn, Burke and Dean came back with us to visit as they are off track. They will fly back February 10th. We took them all snow shoeing to get a good feel for the snow. Lots of fun!

Hiking Coco Head Crater

It is harder than it looks. Dan recommended it! It was really great, but I was stiff in the front part of my legs for 3 days. Great trip!
