Chloe Jo's Birthday Party in the Park

Chloe's birthday was a big hit! Mikey and Sandra hired a guy to tie balloons for all the kids. There were a lot of Arials, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, swords, and even Snow White! We had sloppy joes and sugar cookies. It was a blast!

Anniversary #2

For our 2nd anniversary Steven and I went to Park City for the weekend. We enjoyed a good mix of relaxation, exhilaration, and shopping! Thanks to Lesli, we came up with some good ideas for fun. We had a blast at Park City Mtn. where we rode the alpine slide a few times and the new coaster that is there. They were sooo fun! Steven couldn't believe how fast I got going and he couldn't/wouldn't keep up. Saturday night we went up to the Canyon's Resort and there was a live concert going on outside. It was pretty cool. The band was from New Orleans and they were rockin'! I had a good time dancing and even got Steven dancing a little bit. The picture is at the concert with the stage/band in the background. The weather was fabulous (not too hot) and of course, the scenery was gorgeous. We were happy to get home and see the doggies though! Now, on for our 3rd year!!!

Park City Mountain

So there's absolutely no competition! Shelby kicked Steven's butt on both the Alpine slide and the coaster! He'll even admit it. I got so much speed that sled actually caught air! It was so cool! I definitely recommend it as long as you have a wad of $$ to spend!

Fairview 2008

Shelby napping with the puppies! All the 4-wheeling, eating, hiking, and game playing must've worn me out!

Tanner is amazingly good at riding his motorcycle. He could probably kick both Steven and Shelby's butts when it comes to riding!

Malia with our pups! Malia is always so good to take them for walks, pet them, or even brush them!

Rock Climbing for Parker's Birthday

I love that Parker is so adventurous!! He must be my brother:) This is a pic of Steven climbing. Just turn your head to the right a bit and the picture makes a bit more sense. He, he.

More Adventures

Shelby teaching Steven that 4 hands are better than 2. This is a fun way to share the long hours of rowing. I always thought that with all the rowing on these trips I should have lost some weight! Boy was I wrong. We usually eat better on the river than we do at home!
This is in front of one of the biggest rapids on Deso. It's called Coal Creek and is pretty fun to row through. We usually tie off the rafts and hike down to "scout" it out, before we go through it. You can't really tell how big it is from this picture, but I can tell you that it's big enough to put a large smile on my face! Does Steven look nervous???


Fairview 2006. This is the trip where Steven proposed to me. If you look at my right cheek you can see where I had been picking at a pimple and made a scab. Steven was upset that I had been picking at my face, which I thought was weird because he is soooo laid back. Now I know what he had been planning and that he wanted our engagement pictures to be perfect. That's why we was worried about the scab! Anyways, this is a picture of us playing paintball, which was a blast. I got shot in the butt by a cousin and it left a perfectly round welt. It was well worth it!
