It was a great weekend! Don came down to hang out with Zack and I. I can't tell you how nice it was to have someone around to play video games and make a tree swing with Zack! I am so happy for the opportunity to build a new relationship with my brother and for Zack to make a friendship with his Uncle Don.

Luckily, the weather was great and we had the chance to go skiing. What a great day! I wish we had more time to do more runs. Jason, Em, Zack, Don and I did a little spring skiing at Brighton...everyone was happy, I couldn't ask for more. I have to say, I was pretty impressed with the whole bunch. Zack show great confidence tackling some blue runs and the half pipe. Em did great practicing her turns. Don, who hadn't skiing in 20 (?) years, took to the slopes like he never left them. I love spring skiing!

Ethan's D.A.R.E. Graduation!

March was a busy month for the Ashby's! It started off with Ty's B-day and Kenedi's awesome baptism! Kim, Tanyss, and the kids came down for the Draper Temple Open House which was amazing even though it was cold and rainy! Zach had his birthday party at the park on the first really nice day of the year and we really enjoyed hanging out there with he and Deb and his friend from school! We played an awesome game of kickball, which Deb takes very seriously when she is playing...just ask the kid she nailed in the head with the ball trying to get him out!! (he he!) Lance and Ty had daddy daughter which was a western theme. Lance was thrilled! He new there would be Country music and he was right! He had to dosey-doe to it all night! They had a great time! We had a few really nice days where the kids were able to do normal spring things and not wear their snow boots! We also had a serious round of the stomach flu which we all got.....I didn't take pictures of that! And our month ended with the kids going back on track and Ethan's D.A.R.E. graduation! As usual, I was a little emotional watching him geat his certificate and I had to remind myself that it was not High School Graduation!
