Awesome Nick

Nick completed his Faith in God award and received the priesthood.

Grandpa & Grandma Austin came out to spend the weekend.

 Another afternoon at the BMX track...love 70's in February!

Happy Day Nick

Nick planned his own birthday party.

A couple friends, a turtle cake and man hunt:)

Brandon took N & J to the BMX track for more b-day fun.
Love beautiful winter break days...and lots of snow/ice days too!

Kurt Kurt

Kurtis made the high school freshman baseball team!  This is his first game.  He plays catcher with one other guy so they switch off games - nice playing time for Kurt.

He also finished up swim team and received the award for the "most improved swimmer" out of the entire team - way to go Kurt Kurt!

Polar Bears

Jeff took the 12 & 13 year old boy scouts and N & J camping for 2 nights. It was at the tail end of our most recent ice storm, so a little chilly (okay 25 degrees at night and 30 degrees/rain the second night).  This was wilderness survival and leadership boot camp and the boys did fantastic. Jeff had a little shoe malfunction...told him he'd better remember duck tape next time:)

Brandon went with a few of the young men to hike Blood Mountain.
And yes, Brandon is wearing shorts:)
