Volleyball season

Ashley got to join Nicole in the Club Volleyball ranks for her first year.  Her team started the season with very little experience and make such a huge improvement every game.  She had fun sharing the season with friends Grace and McKenna.

 

 

 

Nicole's season was a huge success!!  She figured out her serve and was able to get it over the net very consistently.  Her team ended up winning the consolation bracket at the Moscow tournament.

 Funny story on these pictures... someone pulled the fire alarm so the whole gym had to be evacuated and the girls spent 45 minutes outside running around and posing for pictures (some in front of the fire truck)

Skiing... yayyy!!

This was a great year for us to ski.  Ashley being in 5th grade was eligible for the "Ski Passport" that Idaho offers all 5th graders.  For about $20 she got to ski at every resort in Idaho (and some Washington) twice.  Unfortunately, we didn't make it to all of them :) but it gave us a lot of incentive to go more than usual.  We took the opportunity to take Nicole's friend, Katie, for her first time and see some beautiful snow.  

We spent Spring break at Schweitzer during a very heavy snowfall period where they couldn't even get the runs groomed on a daily basis.

 We also got a chance to take Miles to Bluewood.  He's been taking lessons every week and was sooo good.

 Our third day at Schweitzer... going through the trails with super deep snow was probably not the best idea.
