Myah was baptized the first weekend in March. We are so grateful we had so many family members that were able to come and support us. She was really excited to be baptized and to start going to Activity Days.
After her baptism she quickly dressed-it was a little chilly and was confirmed. We had a great day and loved being with our family and friends on that special day!
We traveled up to Kalispell to visit my parents for Spring Break. We were really busy, but I must say the weather was not anywhere close to spring. Snow was abundant 4 of the 5 days we were there. We happened to plan our ski day on the most beautifully sunny-but cold-day. We could lookout from the top of Black Tail Mountain and see clear out to Glacier Park and most of Flathead Lake. I miss the amazing beauty of the mountains and the valleys of my hometown. The mountains in the background almost look like clouds.

My Dad came up skiing with us. He skied our pants off- his form was impeccable and Avery talked his ear off on the chair lift. Not many little girls get to ski with their Grandpa! As we were leaving to go skiing we had a major car problem. Dave hopped into my parent's van and the automatic door shut on him. He pushed it back so it wouldn't keep closing in on him and the door came off the track. Dave and my Dad tried to fix it, the motor for the door had already been having problems, but it was done. As they were trying to just get the door on track to close it, the back window shattered all over the place. There was just enough pressure on the window to shatter. We transferred everything over to our van and took off for Black Tail Mountain.
We went out to eat at the Somer's Bay Cafe. The girls shared some juicy ribs, Dave had some Buffaol meatloaf, I had Prawns on a Grit cake and I think my mom's meal was the best-chicken with an amazing sauce of mushrooms, onions and who knows what else! Avery was "starving" and ate 4 pieces of bread before her grilled cheese even arrived.

Myah's baptism looks wonderful! She's so pretty. It made me excited for Riley's coming up.
I'm so jealous of your skiing family. Your kids will have such great memories.
great post Gabe! Lots of good stories to tell and great pictures. Your family always has something great or adventuresome going on.
So much fun!
I am glad you got to go...sorry about the car door and window....Will it be covered under insurance?
Every time I go skiing with dad, I'm always amazed at his ability to stay in form the whole time. I'm glad you had a great trip, at least you were enjoying the cold weather. We're barely tolerating it here, spring is far too late.
Glad you made it back safely, Gabe! I agree - Montana has some of the best scenery I've ever seen. What fun times for your kids (except for the van door - I guess Dave doesn't know his own strength!).
Myah is just lovely in her white dress. I wish I could have made it. Darn sickies.
The trip looks fantastic and it really is no wonder that your youngest dreams of skydiving. Look at the daredevil stock she comes from. :o)
That was a fun day. We sure did love being there for the baptism and the Cafe Rio meal afterward....yummy! -Maile
