In the spirit of holiday miracles we received a camera and managed to keep it in our possession . . . so far. During our precious three weeks of freedom we managed to enjoy many wonderful winter sports such as downhill skiing (a free ski trip to The Canyons with the cousins, courtesy of Warren Miller), cross country skiing (in the Arctic wilderness of Logan Canyon), and shoveling our driveway (in the frozen tundra of our driveway). Other than that,…

Happy Halloween

Here we are Mr. Harry Potter and Mrs. Ginerva Weasley-Potter, post book seven. We had our wands, flying brooms, official lightning bolt scar, and authentic theme music. And, this pumpkin had too much candy.

Fall Break – Zion Narrows

October 22, 2007 Noel Comments 2 comments

What a weekend. Instead of catching up on homework like I should have, Audrey and I and our neighbors Nathaniel and Lina went backpacking in the Narrows at Zion National Park instead. It was amazing. The changing of the colors was just gorgeous. There were waterfalls and giant canyon walls. The leaves falling off the trees on the rim were raining down into the canyon. It was surreal. The water was a little cold so we did the whole thing…

Top of Utah Marathon

Well, we did it. We ran the Top of Utah Marathon. 26.2 miles. Yep, that’s right. It was a blast. It was also painful. We both ran better than expected.

The Fray

We went to The Fray in concert last night. Very good show. We had a great time. It’s always nice to go see a band that is just as good in concert as they are on their album. It’s really kind of a rare thing these days. It was a good set complete with some new music that I assume will be on their next CD, like a new, wonderfully melancholy song “Happiness,” and a hilarious cover of Shakira’s “Hips…

…would you have the name of a Lamanite king from the Book of Mormon as your personalized license plate on your Chevy Suburban.

One really old tree

July 4, 2007 Noel Comments 2 comments

To celebrate the 4th of July this year we decided to go and explore some of this great country in which we live. To do this we made a pilgrimage to visit one of the oldest living things around–the Jardine Juniper tree in Logan canyon. All of the campgrounds and picnic areas in the canyon were full to overflowing and there was quite a traffic jam caused by people floating the canal. However, 10.4 miles up the canyon at the…

It’s not the size of the car but what you do with it that matters.

Natural Bridges and Edge of Cedars

August 19, 2006 Noel Comments 0 Comment

Last Sunday the three amigos decided to go check out some of the sites around Blanding and we found Edge of the Cedars, a little Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) homestead to go check out. So, after emerging from the Kiva and seeing the world as if it were all new we had a much better outlook on life. Then this Thursday Danielle and I decided to go out to Natural Bridges National Monument. We did this roughly ten mile hike around…
