Another birthday celebration

We celebrated the birthdays of two more of the grandkids on Saturday. Tiffany and Spencer both turned 8 and were both baptized on the 28th. What a special day for both of them and for our whole family. We just need to get Heidi to move closer to Boise so we can ALL be together.

Spencer's Baptism

Spencer just got baptized and is a new member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This was a special day for us.

Legacy Park water wheel

We woke up Saturday morning to find that a new geocache had been placed only about 1/2 mile from our home. The coordinates took us to this nice spot at Legacy Park. Then the search began. Now where would YOU place a geocache here? We finally found it - only 2" long and 1/2 " in diameter. This will look a lot different when the grass gets green & there's water in the pond.

Bruneau Sand Dunes

While driving around looking for geocaches today we found this nice view of the Bruneau Sand Dunes. They are the largest dunes in North America, I believe. They are 470 feet high. The teeny tiny dunes on the right are the ones we usually climb and play on. When you're near them the little ones look huge. Imagine how big the BIG ones really are and the effort it would take to climb them!

Geocaching at Bruneau Sand Dunes

We finally found the right day for a hike at the Bruneau Sand Dunes (not too hot, not too cold, no wind, enough time, etc.). We only had to walk about 1/3 of a mile to get to the cache, but walking in sand makes it a little harder. This is the first time we've walked around the area. Usually we just play on the sand dunes with the kids or grandkids.

Draper Utah Temple Open House

While in Salt Lake with Heidi for her to attend the Utah Dental Association conference, we took time to tour the Draper Temple. This is the view from our bus window after the tour. What a beautiful temple this is. It sits high up on the side of the mountain, overlooking the city. I look forward to returning after it is dedicated.

Cache In, Trash Out

As the geocaching slogan says...Cache In, Trash Out (CITO)! Even if it is a bud light can.

Here's Heidi and Me at Ensign Peak looking over Salt Lake City.
It was a gorgeous wanna-be Spring day!

Heidi at Ensign Peak

Heidi at the Ensign Peak overlook area. What a beautiful view of the Salt Lake valley on a crisp but sunny winter day. It almost felt like spring today.

New windows in the house

We just had all the windows in the house replaced with (hopefully) more energy-efficient windows. It is soooo nice to be able to see out of our windows now.
