 This is "hottie runner" my sister and I see him running all around Orem.  Usually he doesn't have a shirt on but it was cold. 

 I went up to him after the race and told him I am a big fan and wanted my picture with him.  He thought I was crazy!

Party for a Princess

We celebrated Elise's 3rd birthday over the weekend. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She has gone from a baby to a little girl over night! Natasha and Cale were gracious enough to allow us to have the party at their house. Elise has been talking about her Tangled party ever since the movie came out. She saw Tangled 4 times in the first month. I think it turned out cute and everyone had a great time.

Come on in

I found the Tangled party ideas here

She was so excited for her new princess dress! Elise and her cousin Kenz being silly

My mom made her cute cake

Someone partied like a rock star!

Happy 3rd Birthday to our sweet little Elise. You bring so much joy into our lives. We love you!

Happy Holidays!

Zions Nat'l Park 2010

We took a family trip to St. George over Mother's Day weekend with our good friends the Baldwins. We went to Zions, played in St. George and had a blast the entire time.
Thanks Baldwins!Elise LOVED riding the bus in Zions and begged to "ride bus" the entire time!

We hiked to Emerald Pools, which is a gorgeous hike. I hadn't been there since I broke my foot hiking the same trail in 2007 which coincidentally we were with the Baldwins then also.
No injuries this time!

Jim and Todd decided to hike Angels Landing while Frances and I took the kids to the cute little town of Springdale. We shopped and walked around for a couple of hours until we heard from the boys. I'm pretty sure they set a record of hiking Angels Landing...62 min to the top, 30 min on the summit and 35min down. That's fast I tell ya!

Jim at the top of Angels Landing

I am guessing the people around them didn't think this was too funny.

Jim and Todd also hiked Signal Peak while we were in St. George.
Jim doing what he does best...thinking.Elise and Cambree were so cute the entire time.
They were best little friends and play together so well.

Cambree celebrated her birthday while we were there. For her birthday she got cute little princess dresses, which kept she and Elise entertained the entire time!
