How do we lose the winter blues?

January and February are much more fun when we share it with family. We were in Michigan in the beginning on January, visiting with the Mercados. Since then we have been able to see most of the grandkids in Utah. Jim helped Shelley while she and Heber went to Hawaii. We have been helping Derek while Missy and Jake went back to visit her brother at Harvard. When Angie returned from one of her trips, we got to celebrate Milos birthday. Mariah has been working hard at breaking records in swimming. This weekend we are headed to St George to see how she fairs in the Utah State Swim meet. Most of the older grandkids have been skiing when ever they get a chance. 

Here we are with Kallies favorite---puzzles. See King Nik! He is so happy that he can do the hard ones now.
Reading books is my favorite


The hammock is even used in winter

All this fun and I need a nap
Jim and Derek share the latest news while I clean up and pass out!
The best news this month is the change in Pathways, It is now BYU Pathway International. I think! The name change means that all the church colleges will work together for students around the world in the Online college education program we have been serving in for the last 5 months. We love serving and helping.
