Since I might have a lot of pictures in Logan this week, I will keep it short - for once. Lorin, my Dad & Bill went up to Beaver on Saturday. It was a good day for Lorin, he got to hike out of bounds & sent me these pictures from his camera phone. 
We are hoping for Grandpa to take his camera up one day this week to get some action shots of the skiiers & boarder.
My bad for not getting a post for Jamie's b'day before now. Thanks to Papa John for filling in. Jamie is growing up way too fast, but has agreed not to start driving until she beats me in a game of tennis. I better keep practicing.
This is Sam at the Bird this past week end. It was her first race in the J1-2 Qualifier (kind of like a Cat 3 bike racer, she stared as a Cat 5, just moved up to race as a 3 but still a 5, and the 1-2 are pros). She started last and finished in the bottom 2/3 going against girls up to age 20 (even one 37 year old) I think the coaches comments help us understand if Sam has any talent. (I was standing next to one coach filming too and the talk was from the others on the radios.) Sam finsihed well at a Snowbasin GS race today too.
Alex has a new love for the terrain parks. He skied one night at Wolf Mountain (Nordic Valley) while Sam was race training. Alex hits a couple boxes and then the big table at the end. He has started turning sideways on the boxes now not to mention how many heads are turning to watch this kid. (Obviously his uncle Jake's freestyle skiing genes are in his blood.) Let me know if you want more videos of this 7 year old going crazy...
Mac has the real talent that is worth something in this family. This is Mac's duet with her friend Madison (no Madison is not standing on a box). I am hoping her next solo is Dust In The Wind. Mac's musical talents with the piano and violin far out weight the rest of us not to mention she is the only one who can dance, besides her Hi-Lo mother. Did I mention she is the cutest little Roxy skier too?

We had a great trip to Hawaii. That's the short version. If you're interested in the travel log and too many pictures you can check out our blog. If anyone is ever planning another trip let us know because we can't wait until next time!
Ben and his third "son" Elder Kleberson.
A sign close to Ben's apartment that kind of makes him trunky. Ben's official return date is June 19th.
While I was on the job search I came across an awesome job for a married couple. It is being resident managers at an apartment complex. It includes free rent, all utilities (including cable and high speed internet) paid, plus a salary of $560 a month. So I immediately called the lady and we set up an interview with her yesterday (Tues) and she offered us the job about 30 minutes after the interview and cancelled the other interviews she had later this week! I think she was really impressed that Clark is a "clean freak" and would keep the place looking nice and that he has cleaned and cared for a pool before since there is an indoor pool and hot tub that we will be cleaning! So Clark is pretty much experienced at EVERYTHING and a good thing too because she was impressed. So we will be moving in the first of March. I'm really excited because we were kind of looking for a new apartment since ours right now is growing mold...it is disgusting. And I needed a new job so it worked out. Anyway this is getting really long and I couldn't wait until the next family letter to tell you since I'm too excited! They are down on the Island right at the bottom of the dug-way so they are pretty nice and in the summer "senior citizens" live there so I will be kickin' it with them all summer! Can you say Pool Party!
Me and Adrienne (did I use proper english?) up skiing the Beav!
Yes that is a Moose going for a jog up the canyon. There was a row of cars behind him and the snow was too high for him to jump over.
Just a cute picture of Max and Katie outside the Falslev residence
John just put up this post on emmetthundene so I thought I better throw Beth and him a bone and let them see that Jack is surviving while they suffer through a week of vacationing in Kauai and Oahu.
Ducks are almost as much fun as pigeons
The good thing about Jack's boots is that they let him climb up the slide, the bad thing is that the boots also act as a brake when he's trying to go down.
Jack has no idea why we won't let him climb into the fountain.
The Merry-Go-Round was not a big hit. This was as close as we got to a smile.
A couple walking their dogs did bring a smile to Jack and the couple. Couldn't tell about the dogs.
Kristin and her friend Rachel Phelps completed their first triathlon earlier today. The first annual Zot Tri sponsored by UCI. The usual Swim Bike Run order was reversed so that the swim could be held in the pool when the athletes are spaced out after the run and bike. I think Kristin may have been bitten by the tri-bug today. Well done Krissy!!
Finishing the run with Rachel
Check out Kristin's cornering skills and speed. If you look close you can see the 'old school' coral colored Jamis mountain bike used by the photographer. After years chained to a fence or a post outside an apartment in Provo it has found new life as a single speed townie in the O.C.
FinishedJohn and Beth are playing in Hawaii and they left Jack behind to play with Aunt Kristin and grandma and grandpa. Kristin hooked us up with some free tickets to the Aquarium so the four of us along with Hillary and Avery Stern and Rachel, Mia and Isabel Phelps enjoyed a couple of hours admiring the fish, sea lions and Jack's favorites - the pigeons.
Typical Jack, pretending to have a good time.
Kristin and Avery kept a watchful eye on Jack
