Utah Roads

So I was on my way home from work the other night (2 a.m.) driving through a construction zone when all of the sudden I slammed into a pothole. Although I was going only 30-35 miles an hour, it caused an amazing amount of damage. I pulled into the nearest gas station knowing I had blown a tire only to find that both of my rims were completely bent, the wheel casing shattered, and a head light out of the socket. Lucky for me, a police officer was in the parking lot changing his tire from hitting the same pothole. We are hoping the construction company will compensate our losses.

EASTER

>
The Easter celebration started on Saturday at a local park for an Easter egg hunt. The boys were happy with their treasures although it was a cold morning. I was lucky to have the opportunity to speak at church on Easter (ha ha!) then we were off to Park City with the Robinson Clan. We had a wonderful brunch and a great visit. Then it was off to see the Pikus Family. The kids always look forward to the Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. I really look forward to all of the holidays now that the kids are the ages they are. It’s so sad they have to grow up so fast.

Painting Eggs

Noelle and Janson came over to carry out our Easter tradition of decorating Easter eggs. It also included the famous egg war, which Noelle won as well as the best decorated egg which was awarded to Taylor. It was all followed by a fabulous egg salad sandwich dinner. MMMM!!!

Brighton Ski Trip

We had a great weekend at Taylor’s family cabin on Brighton Ski resort. The whole Pikus clan came ready to play. We had such a great time relaxing, playing games, sledding, & of course ski and snowboarding. We were fortunate that there were no injuries especially during our sledding excursions at night. As you can see in the posted video, sledding down a ski resort makes any sledding hill look very minute. Thanks for the great time Pikus Family!!

SnowFire Hats

Noelle started her own business a few months ago called SnowFire. It is a hat company that has already proven to be very successful and popular. They are hats with crazy hair and great for all ages. She has definitely been busy since her season ended. The website is snowfirehats.com. She will be adding a summer line in a month or two for those interested.

Congratulation’s Jared!!!

We celebrated the news of Jared’s Residency Match at Chucky Cheese. It was very kid friendly and enabled the adults to chat for a while. He was accepted into the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center residency program which was his top pick. We are so excited they are back for good and look forward to spending a lot more time with them in the future!

Swimming

St. Patty’s Day

“Green Day” is Skyler’s favorite holiday. He is so transfixed over the color green and will often be found crying if someone else ends up with a green toy or item he wants. So of course we had to make a green breakfast: Pancakes, eggs, yogurt, bananas & milk. Although it all looked VERY appetizing, I passed on breakfast that morning.

Ready for Spring

We had few beautiful days a couple of weeks ago. So Jared, Jodi, my Mom and the kids all took advantage of the weather and went to the park. It’s too bad it was so short lived. We are really looking forward to warmer temperatures.

Jr. Jazz

We thought Jayden’s favorite sport was soccer until he started basketball. Then we noticed a trend. His favorite sport always seems to be the one he is currently playing. I am sure his new preferred sport will be baseball in a few weeks. He had a really good time playing and ended up with a “really shiny” medal at the end!
