Picture in The Paper

Saturday was a cold and windy day, a good day to stay inside, however that's not always possible, especially when there is a kite flying compitition. It was the fifth annual Kite Flight for Sight contest sponsored by the Cedar City Lions Club. There weren't that many people there but the ones who went had a little bit of fun I think. Kennedy got her picture in the Sunday edition of the Spectrum. That was the best part about the activity.

Zion 10K

Here's me and my first two roommates my first year of college. We were pretty silly. We liked to hang out at the boys apartment upstairs. One day we snuck into their closets and took their pants and hats. We were so COOL!


We finally, all three reconnected after about 12 years.
Shanna lives in Delta and Jamie lives in Clearfield.


Saturday morning (at 5:30am) we drove to Zion for their Centennial 10K run.


It was the first 10K for all of us. We all made it through the finish line, without needing emergency care.


Afterwards Jamie and I headed to Vegas for our reward. Here's 1/2 of the second piece of cheesecake I brought home. None of them lasted long enough for me to get a good picture. We drove all the way to Vegas to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. I love it that much. I think I've converted Jamie into loving it as well. (it was her first time there)


Besides not being able to walk very well today I'm happy we were able to get together and have a good time.

Spring Break

Steve took the girls skiing last Thursday. They had a blast. They both love to ski.





Unfortunately he forgot to get their goggles out of the car for them to wear. Men seem to forget a lot. This is the result. Their eyes ended up getting severely burned. Kennedy got the worst of it.





We got a surprise a week ago; three ducks and three chicks. They are cute but what do we do with the cute little things? (more work for me)(yeah)





Saturday we started off the day with the town's Easter egg hunt at the park. We've never missed a year and every year it's been freezing. However it's tradition, we have to go.



Sunday we spend concentrating on Jesus and his sacrifice. We seem to get too caught in the Commercialism. I'm grateful Easter is always on Sunday. It makes it easier to cut the world out and concentrate on the true meaning and reason we celebrate Easter.

I love holidays, they give you an excuse to spend more time with family.
