JR is Retiring......

From GOLF that is.....South Mountain is really going to miss his daily visits on their course. He is off to California with his buddy Matt to once again adventure into killing bugs!! We wish him luck!! I am holding the fort down here in Utah, while he is gone. I was not about to move again. California was very tempting but JR knew if he moved me there, I would never come back to Utah. I am looking forward to Savannah going off track from school so we can go visit him.

We all need to be inspired!

This story has touched me in so many ways. If you have not seen it all ready, it's worth the watch...Just copy and paste the link.....enjoy

Utah does not get much snow!

So we were told....I was really nervous living up in South Mountain. The hills are so steep and driving in the snow is not my specialty. I was reassured that it was not that bad. That is we got a big storm it would most likely fall on the weekend. Well as you can see below. We had more snow then not. I really thought the snow was never going to END. As you can see in the photos we were snowed in.
Yesterday was a nice 80 degree's at the Draper Park. You would of thought we were at Disneyland it was so crowded!! The kids had a great time. Sorry I have no photos...I was too busy watching my kids amongst the hundreds of other kids playing. I still lost Carson.....i tried not to panic!! If you have not been to Draper park, well it's a really big park with streams of water running through it. After scanning all the play areas I went towards the trails. Carson was of course, down with the, "BOYS", playing in the stream of water. He was covered in mud, barefoot and all with a big stick in hand. I asked him why he took off his shoes and he said, "all the boys have there shoes off."

Carson had to get his share of Ashlee's cake too...

Ashlee Ann is One today!

This year has gone way to fast. I have had to hold back tears now for almost a week knowing that she was going to be one. Ashlee has been a joy to have in our family. She has been so easy. We love her determined personality. She is never too shy to tell Carson how it is or kick and scream as Savannah carries her to mom. Getting her picture's today was fun. I was crossing my fingers that she would smile. She smiled but refused to put her feet or hands how the photographer wanted. Why was I not surprised? As sad as I am today with Ashlee turning one, I am excited to see her grow into a walking-talking cutie-pie!
