Little Grape

Grape size

from a little seed to a grape sized deal. baby is growing, now it's for real!

I'm 25!

Dave had a big surprise for my big 25th this year. It was so much fun. We dropped Mr. Max off at Dave's brothers house for a sleep over and headed up to park city for the night. We decided that it would be fun to ride the Alpine slide....

We slept in the next morning headed to Heber for some breakfast and then came back to Park City to ride the Coaster....it was way fun!

We then headed to Sundace where he had a surprise for me. I've been saying FOREVER that I want to go horse back riding with Dave. So he planned a two hour ride just the two of us and a guide. It was so beautiful. The temperature was perfect and it was so fun to hear the elk calling. It was so romantic, I loved the entire day! He spoiled me even more and took me to the best place to eat. The Tree Room. Ahhh I was in heaven. It was amazing! It's now my all time favorite place to go.

We have Grass!

We finally got our yard in! We're so excited at how it all turned out. We plan to stain the big wall and the stairs soon. We also want to re-rock the chimney....build a new deck, pain the house, start the backyard, finish the basement, finish the master bath, and start the kitchen. Just to name a few... But I can't wait to plant some bulbs to have some pretty flowers blooming all spring and summer long. Do you think we'll have enough to keep us busy?

Max loves cereal...even the milk!

Our Big Day

Here are a few pictures from our special day. It couldn't have been more perfect! We were happy to spend the day with family and some close friends! I'm so happy that this day finally came. Things couldn't be better in my life right now!

Mantona

...as my brother Bryan used to say. After 3 years of trying to get back "home" I went with my friend Steph and drove on up for the week. We had so much fun just hanging out with her family. We just played. I miss it up there so bad! It's so beautiful and relaxing. Here are a few pics.

Mr. Max was so happy the entire drive!

Yummy Peaches

My Uncle Dave has 2 peach trees up in Brigham. My mom, grandma and Aunt went and picked them all, about 9 bushels! We canned over 200 bottles of peaches! I had never done any canning before and I have to say that it was so much fun! My grandma had the perfect set-up on her patio. It was very efficient, and we got it all done in about 8 hours! So if anyone is wanting to do some canning ya better call me cause I'm all about it these days!

Lotoja

It was my first year giving this race a try... and I LOVED it. We had a couple relay teams and it was so much fun! I rode from Afton to Alpine. I felt so good through the entire ride and even got up to 30mph for a few miles. I was so proud of myself. Especially since I haven't touched my bike since the beginging of June.
