Nice new snow

This has been a long cold winter but this month we've fallen behind on snow pack so we were grateful when we got a nice storm this weekend.
Saturday was quite warm so LeGrand and I decided to try to wade our way up the mountain in the new powder.








The snow was pretty deep but soft and the weather was warm so we had a good time. LeGrand's horse's name is "Silvertip", named after the famous Butch Cassidy era Utah outlaw.
In this picture he lives up to that name having gotten plastered by plowing through some tough stuff.

The new snow encouraged our pet deer to stay close to home, and we had 2 coyotes frolicking around for a couple of hours on the acreage just below us.

Golf in St. George

We've had a bad case of cabin fever this long cold winter so last week Sylvia and I slipped down to St. George for a 2 day break. We really lucked out on the weather and had a good time golfing.

As usual Sylvia won!

The most admirable women in America

Last week the Internet news reported results of a survey asking who were the "most admirable women in America." Of course most of the votes went to some of the well known political figures such as Hillary, Sarah and Oprah, but what do those voters know?



When I asked Sylvia what women she admired the most, her thoughtful decision was that it was our daughters!


Now that may sound a bit prejudiced, but I have thought
a lot about that issue since then and have decided that I totally agree.



We are so richly blessed to have such wonderful women in our family!



You ladies are such fabulous mothers, wives, daughters, citizens and Latter-Day-Saints that I very truly can't think of anyone in the world that I admire more!




Our family is the most important thing in the world to us, and we love you.

Merry Christmas 2009! We had a great time with the Jerry and Heather family. There was good food, football, great gifts, the traditional crossword puzzle, and reading of "The night before Christmas."

David is still loyal to his Jaguars.
