Ghetto Sled

GHETTO SLED!!

This little beauty consists of a car seat bolted to the hood of a car & pulled by a 4 wheeler or truck...redneck style!!yep, it's freezing kennedy, kel, & regan bundled up & ready for a crazy ride!! showing off our skating skills...& ready to go inside!! it was one cold day!

Larry & Jackie were sweet to invite us to "ghetto sled" & of course she fixed a ton of food & snacks & hot chocolate for everyone. We enjoyed watching the girls on the sled & after watching the video I can't believe parents would be okay with that :) They had a ball! We played board games, talked & ate...it was a really fun day & a great way to ring in the New Year!

Take me out to the ball game...

The kids waiting to get a baseball from one of the players.

Silly sisters :)


Justing & Kel still waiting to get a ball...


"The Clan"

Grandma & Grandma had a fun night at the game!

I'm trying to catch up with all the stuff we did this summer...this is what I get for procrastinating...baseball photos posted in the winter! We had a great time going to a couple of Owlzz baseball games.

Mt. Timp hike 2010

Beautiful shot - behind Mt. Timpanogos.

Brian on his first hike of the back of Timp.

Mike & Sam taking a little rest.


Loved, loved, loved all the shots of the beautiful flowers.

Mtn. goats...yep they exist :)



Cool shot & made me a little nervous how close to the edge he is!


You did it Scotty!!!

Scott & Sam


All the years we've lived close to this mountain & this is Brian's first time hiking the backside of Timp. Mike, Sam & Scott all took the challenge & began hiking bright and early on a beautiful day in August. They had a blast & Brian took some amazing photos!! He loved it & can't wait to go again...next summer maybe :) His favorite parts were probably sliding down the ice field, the mountain goats, the view of the valley from the top & hiking with his bro. in law, brother & nephew. They had a wonderful time & the photos prove it!

Give a kid a camera

Sadie & Coy

Checking out the water.

Grandpa getting the poles ready...Coy can't wait!!

Love it when your cousins are your best friends!! :)

I gave Kel the camera when Grandpa took them to the lake to fish & I think she took some great shots! She's one cute kid & has a mind of her own! I love the shots of her, the cousins & grandpa...such great memories from her day with family.

Mona 5K

Ran my first 5K. Running is really NOT my thing but in May my sweet friend Melissa invited me to start "power walking" with her. This turned into run/walking with the emphasis on walking. Then we moved up to a little more running and then before we knew it, we were running the whole way! So we decided to try the 5K in Mona, Utah in July where you run on dirt roads through the lavender. It was a beatiful morning, they were a little slow getting the race started, but we got going and our goal was not to be last...we did it! Our sweet husbands ran the race to and did awesome! We would have loved to have ran with them, but we are slower and our legs are not that long :) So Melis & I plugged away, finding neighbors and friends along the race. We finished & we were thrilled & it was so wonderful to do it together. So way to go my friend and we did it even earlier than we thought we could - next race - Onion Days 5K.

Stewart Falls

We did a couple of fun hikes this summer and one we did was to Stewart Falls above Sundance.
It took us about 2 hours to go up and back and the girls actually enjoyed it. The best part was to be together as a family - it's nice to be away from all the stuff going on in life and just be together. We have such sweet girls and we love them so much. We appreciate them coming with us and we know, in the not to distant future, we won't be "cool" to hike with or really do anything with for that matter! So we did it, we made it and together as a family...such a sweet memory!!

welcome izzy!

We've got a new lil' girl in our home...Isabella or "Izzy". Our family has never owned a dog before so this is a whole new experience for our girls. (for the parents too!!) She was 6 weeks old when we brought her home & after a couple of sleepless nights she's finally settled in & likes her new home. We really love her and we have adjusted pretty good with having a new little one.
