Hitting the Slopes

Okay, Okay...in Utah that usually means snow skiing, but you can also make a case for sledding. You just can't go wrong with a sled and a long, long hill devoid of trees and other objects that can make for a very sudden stop! We found the perfect hill and had a great time speeding down. The only problem was that we had to climb back up (exercise). The girls were not the slightest bit scared and took the sled for a spin several times. This is one time that I enjoyed the snow. Some of the outfits were pretty funny. Cyndee was wearing two different styles of snow boots and Kristin was wearing grandpa's Air Force flight suit. When your traveling from out of town, you have to make do with the clothes that you can find. Cyndee practicing on the "little" hill. Check out the outfit:)

Check out this video of Amanda and Matt fulfilling the "Need for Speed."


Great video of Derek's "roll and recovery"

We took advantage of Grandpa's talent and built this computer desk in a couple of days. It is soo nice!! Now We have a real place for the computer and I want to do the bills up her too. I'll add a completed picture when Tom puts them onto the computer from the camera.

We celebrated Grandpa Richards' birthday here.
