Bruce is Married!!!

We flew to Seattle for Bruce's wedding and had a great time!! The wedding was beautiful and Arden is all about getting married now. Although she is under the impression that she is going to marry Bruce or her Daddy. I have informed her, that even in Utah, that would be disturbing.

Overwhelming July!!!

Posts have been sporadic, but it has been a crazy month!!! Arden celebrated her 3rd bday and with a compilation of holidays July has been a blur. Not to mention we found out my dad has plasma cancer and I have spent days at the hospital trying to wrap my mind around it all.

However, we loved July and we are looking forward to August!!!!

Tri Guy!!!

Adam finished his ironman triathlon in 13 hours and 50 minutes. It was a 2 mile, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile run. We are very excited to have him back to a normal lifestyle that does not included intense training.

Crazy Tri Start!!!


Here is the start of Adams triathlon and it was so crazy!!! There were 2,000 people on the tiny beach starting at the same time.

Kino Bay is awesome!!!!

We spent two weeks in Mexico thanks to the Hatches and loved every second of it. In fact, we are trying to figure out a way to relocate!!!! Arden loved the beaches, but was not quite as excited about the 20 hour car ride. However, the trip is totally worth it.

Happy Bday Misha!!!!



Sorry for the delayed posts, but things have been really crazy the last month!!!! We just returned from Marco Island, FL and I forgot the camera, so we have nothing to show for it, but tans. We had a great time and Arden spent the week working her grandma over, so we all won.

My birthday was May 2nd and we have determined that Arden gets our birthdays as well as her own. We sang her happy birthday and she blew out the candles a billion times. She has finally figured out birthdays and she takes great pleasure in the whole birthday concept. Adam and I took the afternoon off to see Ironman and we loved it!!!

She was wearing this t-shirt that we purchased in the bahamas and she looked so funny. She made me take her over to Debbies house so that she could show her the mermaid tshirt.

There has not been much going on around here, but Arden loves to feed the ducks at Sugarhouse Park. She loved it and I loved the picture.

Happy Easter!!!!

Easter was a lot of fun, but after 5 easter hunts it was getting a little old. Arden loved coloring easter eggs and eating candy. The weather was a little cold and so most of the time she was crying on the sidelines much to her parents chagrin. Like any good parent, we forced her to hunt for eggs in tears so that we could get pictures. Hopefully in years to come we will forget the tantrums and think she was really that happy to be at any easter party. By then her emotional scars will be forgotten so she loves easter weekend. Anyhow, enjoy the pictures of a fun weekend!!!!

Phoenix Zoo!!!!



We went to Phoenix for Bethany's wedding and it was beautiful!! Nikki and Lexi came from CA and Johnny flew in from MI. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the warm park weather.

We went to the Phoenix zoo to keep the kids entertained and it worked. Arden was loving all the animals, but poor EZ vomited within the first 5 minutes. Rather than going home like responsible adults, we had a zoo employee spray off the stroller and bought a tshirt at the gift shop and partied on!!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!




We had a great party on Valentines Day with the cousins who are not in school. Arden loved it, so I am thinking that next year I might actually organize a party. This year people just showed up. Plus - - winter improved drastically, because we are leaving for Bahamas in two days!!!!

Parenting Lows





I was looking through our New Years photos and I found this one of Arden nursing a 2 liter of Dr. Pepper. I did not take this photo and I am not sure how she ended up with a huge soda, but it showcases that as long as she does not call any attention to herself, she can get away with a lot!!!!

Snow Days!!!

The snow is really dumping in Utah!!! Our presidents day consisted of 3 hours of shoveling and Arden crying because her hands were cold. She could not play in it because the snow was up to her shoulders. There is suppose to be more snow this weekend, which means I might be headed to Phoenix in the next week to escape the cold.
