Jasper Townsite

On our last day in Jasper we did our traditional walk around the townsite, checking out all of the gift shops (we didn't buy anything this year) and stopping for lunch.

This is me outside of the Bear's Paw Bakery which is one of our favorites. They have absolutely the best sticky cinnamon buns I have ever had, and I've had a lot of good cinnamon buns!

Chris by our somewhat dirty car, and a view of the mountains in the back.

Having Fun

So last week was reading week for me so Chris took some time off work to have a little fun. We visited the Leishmans in Lethbridge and played with the boys. Then we headed to Jasper National Park, skiied and snowboared at Marmot Basin, and all around enjoyed ourselves.

Getting the gear together. It was so great with our new car, I absolutely love it!

This one it looks like I'm looking through some binoculurs on the chairlift.

Chris and the mountains.

Having fun. Chris got me a new coat and snowpants. I felt spoiled, but they were on sale. They kept me good and warm.

This is what we built in our spare time...it was at the entrance to the ski hill.

Mardi Gras

Today is Fat Tuesday and Lent begins tomorrow. I've decided if the Lemon's can do it, so can I, and I am giving up all chocolate and desserts. Wish me luck!!
The last two days have been snowy and more snowy. We just came back from the mountains where they hadn't had any snow for a couple weeks and it was ice and rock (my poor board :( ), and now as we drive to work and school it is like those thick white flakes are mocking us. Ah well, at least it isn't brown and ugly around.

Getting to Work

Us in front of the Jordan River Temple at James and Jamie's Wedding.

It's been a busy week for both of us, and will only get busier. I have midterms these next two weeks, and Chris just got a new calling yesterday...executive secretary.

Mom's License Plate

Today while I was out driving the car in front of me had the license plate "Momakat". Perfect for our own mother.

Wedding Weekend

I just remembered I haven't posted any pictures we have from James' wedding day, so here goes...

Nice shades.

Good Food Critics

Last night the missionaries came for supper and just raved about the food, even if they were being polite, it sure made me feel good. We had homemade sweet and sour meatballs with rice, and moms cauliflower with white sauce and cheese (which is what received the most raving). For dessert I made brownies, it was the first time I've ever made them from scratch. They turned out good, but tasted a little more like cake then brownies. I tried to give as much brownie away though, so I wouldn't be tempted, this biggest loser keeps me on my toes.
