Winter 2014

I'm so behind on my blog!

I will attempt to catch you up

on our life so far this year...

TUBING AT SNOWBASIN

We had a lot of fun tubing

at Snowbasin with friends. 

The hill isn't steep or very long,

but we really enjoyed ourselves. 

After some tubing, we rode the

lift to the top of John Paul for lunch!

VISIT FROM THE UNDERWOODS

At Snowbasin

We enjoyed a visit from the Underwoods!

The guys got to ski and Ronda

and I made chocolate covered pretzels

and did a little shopping.  Ronda and I

met the guys on the slopes for lunch (pictured above).

TREVOR & ANDY VISIT

My brother Trevor and our good

friend Andy came out to visit us.

We took them to Park City to see

the Olympic Park Museum and then

we found an epic tubing hill in

Soldier Hollow.  We got snowed/rained

on the whole time we were tubing, 

but we still had an absolute blast!

The guys skied for three days

straight.  I went with them one day.

I think Eric and Trevor almost killed

Andy (he hasn't had as much ski

experience as they have) on the first

day.  But I think they had a great time

overall.  We got so much snow while they

were here - so they got to experience

Utah powder skiing!

ERIC'S NEW TOY

Eric has wanted this guitar for a 

VERY long time.  It's a Gibson Les Paul

Goldtop.  It's basically his dream electric 

guitar.  So he's in heaven.  And it sounds 

amazing!  I'm very happy for him.

OKLAHOMA VISIT

With my sweet little fur-nephew, Gizmo

This is a fun story.  I went on

a visit to Oklahoma for a week.

My parents were supposed to come

visit us, but things have been a little

too crazy at the office for my dad to

get away, so I went to them.  Trevor

and Candace came into town for a 

friend's 30th birthday party, so I got

to babysit Natalie and Gizmo one night. 

With sweet baby Natalie!

So, I babysat Natalie and then

went to sleep.  My dad woke me up

at 12:30am and told me I needed to

come downstairs, which I thought

was very odd.  I got downstairs

and standing in the kitchen was Eric!

He came into town for the weekend

to surprise me!  I was very surprised.

We had a lot of fun.  Trevor brought

all of his sound equipment and we had

a super fun jam session one night.

Candace, Trevor, Natalie & Baby Boy Hayhurst on the way!

We enjoyed a brunch at the river

before Trevor, Candace and Natalie

had to go home.  Baby boy Hayhurst

is on schedule to arrive at the end of July!

LIFE IN OGDEN

A Date Night with Friends

We are staying pretty busy with

worship team and the youth group.

We enjoy being involved with our

church.  We have met lots of great

people!  We've been enjoying time 

with friends - playing mini golf, 

bowling, going out to dinner, shopping,

having game nights and cookouts.  

We recently started a fun home

improvement project that I've been

wanting to do for a LONG time.

We framed our bathroom mirrors.

So far, we have done the master

bathroom and the powder bathroom,

but we plan on doing the guest bathrooms

at some point in the next couple of weeks.

We stained the wood to match the 

cabinets and I couldn't be happier

with the way it turned out.

In other news, I was asked to join

the Officers' Spouses' Club Board

organizer.  If you ever want to check

MIMI & PA

Mimi and Pa's headstone was

finally set last week. 

It's beautiful.   

I will be better about

keeping the blog up to date

in the future.
