Chenelle and Jordan's engagment photos

You have to try REALLY hard to take a bad photo of these two....I gave it my best, but I couldn't make them look bad!

Greg and Teri's yard is an awesome place to take pictures!

Playing around with photo-shop.

The Lion and the Gazelle

Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a Lion wakes up.

It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a Gazelle ...

when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

(Thanks mom)

Last long run before the half

This was our last long run before we run the Hurricane Half Marathon next Saturday. It was supposed to be an easy pace, just over 10 miles. Erika followed the plan....Dean and Braden arrived in a full sprint!

Looking forward to next weekends race!

How fun does this look?

Jaxon found this mud puddle....

We saw this stop sign in Alton, Utah....how cool is that?

West Rim Hike in Zion

Dean and I decided to do the West Rim hike in Zions. It was a 10 mile hike with a 2400 ft climb in elevation. The trail takes you up to this anticlimactic spring, but the views were amazing! The ending elevation 6720.






Dean had his "super hero" watch, so every 100 ft climb he would let me know what elevation we were at, and how much further we had to climb.

Jenson B-B-Q

Julie and kids came up to Salt Lake, and where ever the Jensons are, it's a party! We ate, the kids played in the yard and watched movies, and we all got a chance to talk to Grandma and Grandpa (serving a mission in Columbia).

It was too noisy in the family room, so we had the computer set up in Dean's office so everyone could talk, and hear Grandma and Grandpa
