Pinewood Derby 2009

Last Thursday was our wards Pinewood Derby. Cade got the award for the Most Aerodynamic Car. READY, SET GO,

Pinewood Derby time. Cade did awesome, considering we only had two days to build a car before Jaron went back to work.
Cade's car took 2 place over all, and 2 place in his pack. Way to go Cade.

Wrestling Tournament

Last weekend we took Cade to Richfield, Utah for a Wrestling Tournament. There were 6 boys from Blackfoot that went. We had a good time. Cade did so good for this being his first tournament.

Ok, so you are probably wondering why I just put up a photo with the title Panera Bread. Well here is the scoop. If you know my husband, you know there are two places he will drive to the ends of the earth for to eat at. 1) Panera Bread, 2) In and Out Burger. Well this winter has been good to him. In January Jaron's work sent him to Fire School in St. George for a class on Incident Safety Officers Class. Well low and behold, we pulled into town and they had just built a In and Out Burger, so needless to say we were in hamburger heaven. Then he realized we were only an hour and half away from a Panera Bread. So, friday night he called the general manager and placed our order 3 bakers dozen of Cinnamon Crunch bagels (they are the best) and 1 doz of asiago cheese, and 2 spinach and artichoke souffle's. So saturday after class we left for Vegas. We arrived at the Panera Bread and enjoyed the best deli sandwiches ever and picked up our order. Talk about bagel heaven. There has been times we have been on our way somewhere and we will decide on where we stay by what restaurants they have in the city. Here is a perfect example. Hour and half for bagels...

Jaron and I had a blast. We were gone for 4 days, no kids ,2 outlet malls ,so as you can guess we, had the time of our lives. We had great food, good company, and most important WARM WEATHER.

Happy New Year

We rang in the New Year with some friends from St. Louis. We met them in Heber City, Utah. On the 6th of January and stayed until the 8th. We had a great visit and can't wait until we can see them again. Thanks for the invite Mitch and Trish. We had so much fun there, seeing and visiting with your adorable family. The kids are already asking when do we get to see them again.
I forgot my camera so there are no photos, but believe me we had fun, can I just say Park City Outlets.... I found some great deals...
Thanks again for starting our New Year, with lots of fond memories.

Sledding at Presto Bench

Even I went down the hill with the kids... Kenzie, Cade and Hannah loved sledding with friends, but McKay was cold and didn't know what to think. It was New Years Eve, so we went with some really close friends the Monsons and had a blast!!!! Thanks for a great day !

Christmas Day 2008

Christmas was a great day. We all enjoyed it. Especially when Dad finally made it home. Jaron called @ 6:30a.m. from work saying, "I'm not going to make it home. They closed the roads due to blowing and drifting snow". I was so sad. At 7:30 a.m. the kids woke up just as Jaron called back saying,"We are going to try to make it through the roads." So we waited and waited for daddy to get home. We ate cinnamon rolls and sticky buns while we waited. He finally made it home about 9 a.m. Thanks to Stoney's Truck.
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I know we did. We were truly blessed to spend it together as a family.

Cade was so excited as you can see, we finally broke down and bought a Wii..
