Senior Prom

Tanner had his Senior Prom last night and it sounds like he had a great time.  He went with a girl from school named Alex and a big group of friends their dates.  I still can't believe my little Tanner is old enough to go to a Senior Prom. :-)

On his way to pick up his date.  He sure is handsome!!

Jared Graduated From BYU!!

Yesterday was BYU's Graduation and it was fantastic!!  Especially since one of the graduates was our son, Jared.  It was exciting that 4 of his cousins were also graduating.  We are so proud of them all.  We were so glad that Tori's parents could come for the event as well as David's brother, Steven, and his son, Griffey.

Happy Easter

We spent the holiday weekend up at a cabin by Brighton Ski Resort.  Jared and Tori were there most of the time as well, except for when Jared had to go take a final on Saturday and Tori had to go to work for a while on Saturday.  We had a great time playing games, watching movies, sitting in the hot tub, and doing some spring skiing.  The snow wasn't very good but the day was beautiful and it was fun to slip one more ski day in before the season ends (today).

We attended church at the Brighton Branch and it was really nice.  They meet in this cute little chapel right on the edge of the Brighton ski resort.  All during sacrament meeting we looked out these huge windows at the beautiful mountains and the last few skiers of the season.

We had our Easter egg hunt in the cabin and then after church we headed back to Draper so we could have a nice Easter dinner.  I love Easter and what it represents.  The hope of the resurrection is so wonderful and I can't express my gratitude for the Savior and for His sacrifice.  I don't think I can even really comprehend his sacrifice but I am extremely thankful and awed.

Happy Easter Everyone!!

The Red Moon

Did you see the Lunar Eclipse last night?  It was happening around 1:15 am.  Tanner was taking pictures of it, Rachel woke up (with an alarm) to see it, and she woke me up to see it.  It was pretty cool so I woke up Rebecca and she looked out the window and said it looked cool.  I think she was back to sleep in about 10 seconds flat.  Then I woke up Adam.  He was very sleepy so I got him up, put on his robe, had him walk downstairs and out onto the front porch to look at it.  I figured the cold air would be sure to wake him up.  He looked up at the eclipse and said, "WOW, that's cool."  Then, since it was cold, we went back inside and he headed back to bed.  This morning when I got up, he was quite upset that nobody woke him up to see the eclipse.  We reminded him that he did go outside to see it but he can't remember any of it.  What a bummer.  Here are a couple of pictures that Tanner took of the eclipse.

Pinewood Derby

Yep, another Pinewood Derby has come and gone.  Rachel and David helped Adam shape his car using tools in the wood shop over at the high school.  Since Rachel took Wood Shop last semester, she has an "in" with the teacher.  It looked awesome and then Adam painted it and they added the wheels.  The races were fun but Adam didn't win.  :-(  He did receive a trophy for the Cubmaster's Choice though which was pretty cool.
