The GOLD MEDAL...

I was so happy to receive a phone call from one of our CAS friends on Saturday letting us know that Jeron had won the Science Fair. Jeron didn't find out until we went to the open house that day. He was excited, to say the least! He did a project with his trains...Mom sometimes has really good ideas. Add to that Auntie Heather and Uncle Ron's scientific know-how, and you've got a winner! Jeron tested the effect to the speed of an engine when cargo is added to its cars. His project will now go on to compete at the regional level at UNR. We'll keep you posted on the outcome!

I hiked up the mountain today to take some different shots of the kids skiing. It was so fun to have a different vantage point. I was really able to see the progress they are making as skiiers. I wish I would have had my bigger camera...next time. I am so grateful to be married to a man who loves the outdoors and is willing to do all of the work and preparation to take three squirrelly kids to the mountain and teach them to ski. He is amazing. Days like this make every penny we've spent on gear, gas, pink slips and ski school worth it. Here's to many more ski filled days like today!
