Summer Surfing 2011

Summer Fun With Cousins & Friends

Bryce Canyon 1/2 Marathon

Rob & Stephan & Uncle Tony ran in the 1/2 marathon in Bryce. We went up the night before and camped at a cute little church. We met the Stake President and he left the door open at the church so we could use the bathrooms :). Stephan came in first and surprised us all! He wasn't even sweating!!!

Madison Swimming Lessons

Happy Birthday Leslie!

So we celebrated my birthday early so that the kids could have it with me before they left for Spring Break. Poppa cooked me Lemon Chicken - my very favorite - and I made a Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake.
Then Madison & I headed to Phoenix the next day to watch Cody's boys for a couple of days. We had lots of fun and I kept wishing I had brought my camera. The weather was 85* - just what I wanted for my birthday. I told Gavin & Ethan that I was 37 yrs old.
Gavin said "You're almost as old as a clown!"
I said "Well how old is a clown?"
Gavin said "Almost a 100."
Well, I'm feeling pretty good for being so close to a clown's age!!!!

Michael #24 - Basketball

Michael's favorite sport is basketball. Here are a few shots of him in action.

Christmas Day Hike - Birthday Arch

We took Ty & Becca & Jack & Granna & Poppa on a hike after opening presents up to Birthday Arch. The weather was beautiful for a winter day in Page.
