Does this look like Winter in Utah?

St George, Utah maybe.

Because we are not super fond of cold weather and we have awesome friends (the Boshs) who let us stay in their Castle Rock house, we took many trips to St George in 2008. Especially in the cold months. I enjoyed the trip with our friends to the Parade of Homes the Best!

Guess Where?yep. San Fransisco. Just me and Blake on a little work/play trip.

Hanging Out at the Wharf!


We stayed an extra day to see the Yankees play the Oakland A's. We sat 10th row behind 1st base. This was how close I got during batting practice. I think I was making the security guard a little nervous. I took 118 pics at the game.

Thank Heaven...Kylee is finally 7!

Ally took first place in the Mona Days 1st annual Fun Run

This summer we had a fun visit with some of the Fluegel Cousins (Ashley, Elizabeth, and Jessica). This was one of my favorite pics. I promise to post a whole album of these when I learn how. We took a TON of pics.
