The Beginning Of An Incredible Weekend: Friday

 Mom and Dad flew in at 11:00am in Provo.  Dave was so sweet and drove to pick them up and brought them home.  Mom started making salads etc while I finished up teaching at Lone Peak.  Brandon surprised us by letting us know he and his family were going to be able to make it so we were extra excited.  He wanted his family to eat Raclette so mom and I switched our plans and quickly purchased everything we needed for a Swiss Raclette meal.  Our house was full with Brandon and Brantly's families as well as mom and dad.  Jeff came over for dinner too and Uncle Doug joined us after, so the party went on well into the night. 

Alyssa Turns 8 Years Old!

 Oh, my heart!  Our little sweetie heart turned 8 years old.  She continues to be a joy to our family.  We love her smile, her contagious laugh, her drive to be her best...just Alyssa being Alyssa!
For her 8th birthday, she took a few friends bowling at Jack and Jills.  We all had the greatest time.  Alyssa bowled the high score of 111!  WOW! 

Snowbunnies at Snowbird Ski Resort

 "Mom, thank you so much!  That was awesome!"
"Mom, I just loved skiing!  When are we going again?"
"Mom, today was the best day of my life!"

Those expressions from my children echoed through the Yukon as I drove away from Snowbird Ski Resort after having watched my children enjoy their ski lessons from professional instructors.  The kids killed it.  They really, really did.  Dave and I love to find things we can do as a family.  And skiing just became another thing that the Lindsay family does together.  So exciting!
