After 2 nights in Brianhead, my sisters and I took the kids to stay in St. George for 2 nights. We love St. George and the kids just can't get enough of each other.
The kids flew their new kites and were the hit of the park.
We celebrated Lucy's 6th birthday at Pirate Island. Thank goodness those cheap plastic swords broke after about the 10th hit!
While at Brianhead, we went ice-fishing and snowmobiling. I've decided that it's great to have fun things, like snowmobiles, but it's even better to have a sister that owns them. No maintenance, yet you still get to enjoy them! 
Fisher and the fish (Don't worry, we put the poor little thing back).
Kye is definitely his Grandpa's boy and enjoys all the outdoor stuff just like my dad.
The kids and I spent President's Day Weekend with my family. This is the beautiful cabin we stayed in at Brianhead.
If we ever move back to Utah, I am going to start skiing again. Being up there made me realize how much I miss it.
Both Ash and Kye are great little skiers!
Jeremy's always a good sport and we're glad that he always hooks us up when it comes to skiing. Thanks Jer!
Grandma and the kids made Valentine cookies.
The Mormon Battalion center reopened with a big celebration. The new center is amazing and definitely a must see if visiting San Diego.
The kids had fun panning for gold,
pumping water out of the well,
and pulling up the bucket for more water.
Todd was able to go in and find his great-great-great-grandpa Philemon Merrill on the computer. Philemon was a member of the Mormon Battalion.
Kye was chosen to dress up as a soldier.
Hank's friend Sister Redd is serving a mission at the center. How cute is she?!
The kids enjoyed making their own old-fashioned dolls, bricks and toys. It is such a neat place. It really makes me appreciate all we have and all our ancestors have suffered on our behalf. It's amazing to hear how the Mormon Battalion never fought in a battle yet were able to do so many things that helped to shape Southern California and Utah, I geuss really the west in general.
Our little Miss Perfection won the Super Star award in her class. Mrs. Thomas kept repeating what a joy she is to have in the class and how she does everything in class she is asked to do and then some. She even works extra hard to do her homework while at school so that she doesn't have to bring it home. What can I say she's super!
While at Disneyland the kids were chosen to train to become Jedi's.
When Kye came up to fight him, Darth Vader said " I feel the force is very strong with this one". I told Kye that means he has the power to do a lot of good. I think I'll continue to remind him of this when he does something wrong. I'll say "Kye you're turning to the dark side" and I'm sure he'll shape up immediately!
A visit from the Jolley's would not have been complete without a trip to Disneyland. It was the best day ever. It rained in the morning and scared everyone off. There were no lines for any of the rides. We were able to do everything we wanted in both parks!
