Snowbowl Snowshoe Trip April 2018

We had a super successful snowshoe trip with year with the Battistis and the Newvilles. We made it up to the top and then the snow started and didn't stop until we had about 15 inches of fresh powder. We did a ton of sledding after be blazed a trail through the powder. I love sledding so much. I went up and down the hill so many times that day. We played games, laughed, ate well, had snow cones, stayed up late and played outside as much as we could. The kids did such a great job of getting all the load up the hill. We needed them to help with food this year and some of Phil's gear so we could get Alexis up on her sled. It was amazing to see the men taking turns pulling up that sled. So much love for everyone. It was super fun having the sled up there because it was super fast and fun. Plus it was fun watching Alexis fly down the mountain on the last day down.

Hiding Nona

She was so good at not moving for about 10 minutes while we all "looked for Nona"

Miya's Softball Freshman Year 2018

Miya decided to try softball this year for the first time. She did a really great job. She was super dedicated to a team that wasn't super great or super dedicated to the sport. She was at all the practices even at the end when only 4 or 5 girls would show up. She started playing outfield and then was moved in to play 2nd base for the other half of the season. I have been so proud of my girl that had gone out of her way this year to grow, meet new friends, try new things, got herself up each morning for seminary, read the Book of Mormon on her own this year and I watched her testimony grow and it was amazing. She got her driving permit and passed drivers ed. She has come a long way from the girl that would hide behind my legs and her hair when people came around.
