We live in an INCREDIBLE place!

We live just an hour from Zion National Park! We never get tired of exploring, hiking, biking and playing there. I bet we go at least 4 or 5 times each year. There was one hike we had never done, so that has been our goal the last couple of years. It is called observation point and you hike up over 2000 ft from the canyon floor. It is extremely hot in the summer and is usually snow covered in the winter. So when we had a break in January and there hadn't been any big snow storms we headed for Zion. It was a perfect day for our hiking date!



This is one part of the trail. Notice the Zig-zagging pattern. That alone can make you dizzy. Four miles up and four miles down. That's quite a feat for a couple of old folks:)















We still attempt some tricky moves. We started up the slot canyon but the cold, stagnant water was enough to stop us.






















My handsome date! I'm one lucky lady to have such a fun, cute and great hiking guide. He also takes some incredible pictures.











































You know you are up high when you look down on Angel's Landing!



























See what I mean. I am always amazed at the love of a Heavenly Father who created such a beautiful place for us to live in.

Birthday and Bunko

We had a great birthday celebration for dad on his birthday! He

told use some great stories from past birthdays, we ate goodies, we

played Bunko, and he opened presents. I hope your enjoy some

pictures from our party!












Here are our winners!

The true gamblers of the family!

Lots of Presents! We heard a story about how spoiled Dad was as a child because he was the oldest grandchild, child, and just the all around favorite. I guess not much has changed. WE still LOVE you Dad!

More Family Fun!

Thanks to the generosity of the Graf's we were able to spend a few days as a family just playing. We had a great time. What a way to start our Christmas Break! Shoveling our way into the cabin. Way less snow than usual.


Our last trip to temple square. (At least that is what Lloyd says:))

Sledding was extra fast this year because the

Cooking delicious Hamburgers was a family effort. We should all be chefs!






We even got some Markham wine when we stopped in to visit them at their cabin!








Family, Fun and Food-What could be better?
