I realized as I was importing pictures that this probably would have been better in two posts, but I'm lazy and may not get to the second one for a while, so here we are. Dave finally got a ski day. The weather had not been nice all season. Not enough snow. It was a lovely mild winter, but not great for skiing. I went to the ski hill with him. He got two days in. Both were beautiful with perfect snow and not many people there. One day was so warm I went for a walk.
The girls and Ammon came to the temple with us for our ward temple trip. Braydon was in Toronto.
My sweet Grandma Southam passed away. She had been wanting to go for years and was in a lot of pain. I think it was a blessing and she gets to be with Grandpa again. Thankful for zoom as we were able to watch the funeral.
Ammon and Braydon have been back and forth to Toronto a lot. Many trip to the airport. Usually take the red eye flight. I go with them often to help them stay awake and they stop off here to sleep on the way back. The company even flew Leah out for Easter. She had a couple weeks off work and she got to spend one of them in Toronto with Braydon. They went to Niagara and tried some fun restaurants. She had her birthday while she was there and they bought her a cake and a little gift.
Cora and Ammon leased a place and we went to help them move some stuff in. It was a lovely wet snowy day. The girls will be living 1/2 a block apart for the next year, which I think is so fun.
Cora had her baby the end of March. Jane is the sweetest little thing and we are really enjoying her. While Ammon is away, Cora has come to stay with us and we have loved it. Leah will also drive up often. Cora is so fun to watch as a mom. So is Ammon. They are good parents, as we knew they would be. You can just see how much they love this little girl. Cora is fun to watch as she finds so much joy in everything Jane does.
This picture in her car seat is so funny to me. She seems slightly perturbed. :) Going home from the hospital.
Jane has checked cows a few times with us. Already teaching her how to work.
Leah picked up Braydon and they went to the temple in Calgary with his brother and then they came to our house so Braydon could meet Jane. Leah said that he had not ever had sundowners, so we had a bottle of Martinelli's and Jane and Braydon had their first sundowners.
Talking to dad while he is away.
Leah took some family pictures of the Hatch's. She took a lot of cute ones as she played with light and different settings.
Blake was transferred to Makeni a few weeks ago. He said it is more bush and he loves that. The area was pretty dead, but he is determined to make it fire. He is in a complex with 6 elders and they are having a good time. Working hard, living in hot hot weather, most days with out water of electricity. But he is loving it there.
