Check out that perfect plank position! Drue's incredibly proud that Sutton, at only seven months, is already quite proficient at push-ups.
Drue can't get enough of Sutton's amazing strength. She'll balance on his hand for an average of 5 seconds which is quickly followed by her proud smile and giggle.
We spent a terrific afternoon at the Kamas pool with Maggie's mom, Suma. If you've never been there before, it's definitely worth the short drive. They have a very large pool that is entirely designed for young kids with 90 degree water, a jungle gym within the pool with lots of kid-controlled fountains, several slides, and a lazy river. Salem loves it because most of the pool is shallow enough that she can walk around without our help. Who would have thought that a small town like Kamas with only two stop lights would have such an amazing facility?!
Sutton seemed completely at peace in the water. She spent almost two hours in the water and loved every minute of it.
Salem's favorite activity at the pool is the large waterslide. She went down the slide three times with Maggie and at least 8 times with Drue. Salem would ask to go again before her feet even hit the water coming off the slide.
This is the current view outside our master bedroom deck. We're happy to see that the proportion of snow to greenery on the mountains is slowly becoming inversed.
Salem is determined to continue to enjoy the snow while it lasts. This is Maya, Salem, and Alex attempting sledding without sleds during playgroup last week.
5 Things I'm Thankful For Today:
- 1. Internet video conferencing. This allowed us to talk to several of Maggie's family members in Egypt this week.
- 2. That no other cars were on the road when Maggie and Salem were driving to breakfast for their 'Mama and Salem' date. The roads were very icy and the car slid a full 360 degrees into a snow bank.
- 3. Good music, especially when sung by a 2 year old and babbled by an 8 month old.
- 4. March Madness! Go JayHawks!!! (please no 1st round departures to a 16th seed this year)
- 5. A nice relaxing afternoon with a good friend. Drue stayed home with the girls while I had a couple of relaxing hours of hot-tubbing, good conversation, and great laughs with my friend Jo.

I don't think I've had the chance to see a picture of your mom and so I'm glad you posted. She looks like the greatest. A grandma in a swim suit in the water with everyone says she is a lot of fun. How lucky Drew is to marry into that family.
There is a outside pool we really liked in Roy,UT. It has a very large kiddie area that is 0 entry too. What do you think about meeting up this summer, with all the rest of the little cousins, to go swimming?
I don't think I've seen a picture of your mom before and she looks like a fun person. The fact that she is a grandma in a swimsuit in the pool with everyone else says she is a blast to be with. Drew is lucky to marry into such a great family.
There is a outside pool in Roy,UT we like. It has a huge kiddie area with 0 entry that is great. What do you think about meeting up, with all the little cousins, to go swimming this summer?
And I am with you, who knew Kamas would have such a cool pool? Looks like you all had a ball :).
The pool is also great (didn't Kamas just get their first grocery store 2 months ago?)! I'm pro 90 degree pool for everyone!
