Ski Dazzle

Utah got dumped on with some serious powder! And we took advantage. P.S. Alta is for skiers. No snowboarding allowed!!!!





Three of the five brothers. Some might say "threeve"! You know who you are.





This picture will make Jeff pissed! It took my Dad and Peter and two screwdrivers to pry those boots open so he could get his foot in! Needless to say he rented a new pair after the first run. Mucho better!



I watched . . . no reason trying to help a guy!

Fresh Powder

Snow-shoeing in Bountiful. The background looks fake but it's not.

Christmas

This year we went to Utah for Christmas with my family. It was super fun and super cold. We were just missing two of the brothers, but it was so fun to hang out with everybody else.



We got some sweet stuff. I hooked Jeff up with a Kelty backpacking backpack which he was stoked on. It makes him feel like a mountain man . . . so does his gun.

It's been a while . . .

I haven't really gotten around to blogging for the past couple of months. Life has been kind of a blur for us lately. Mostly just working 50 hours weeks, traveling for work, getting in car accidents, etc. Fun stuff! So here's a few random pics from our life lately.

Thanksgiving - We went to Merced with Jeff's family. It was soooo good to just chill for a couple of days, eat great homemade food, and hanging out with all our cute nieces and nephews!









Getting GEARED OUT!!! As Jeff would call it. He got into this outdoorsy kick a couple months ago and has been spending a lot of time at REI lately. He's constantly talking about backpacking in Yosemite (you know I'm always down to go), got himself a road bike, and last week I call him and he's in Reno buying a shotgun! What the heck? I've been super excited to ski in Tahoe, and been getting geared out with new ski clothes, and - happy birthday to me - a new mountain bike from my parents!





And of course we needed one of these to put all our gear in!

6 unspectacular things about me are:

1) I set my alarm for an hour before I need to get up. Instead of just sleeping in, I like to know that I'm sleeping in. It makes it so much better.

2) I'm obsessed with sweat pants. I can never have enough of them and would wear them everywhere if my husband would let me. I mean you've got to have at least 3 colors of sweat shorts for when it's hot, sweat capris, and sweat pants.

3) Whenever I am near a See's Candies, I always get a bag with the apricot delight, raspberry truffle, and polar bear paw. This tradition started at Ala Moana Mall in Hawaii and I'm still in love.

4) I think the 40 hour work week is ridiculous and over rated.

5) I really hate the afternoon, specifically 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. I only like it when I'm at the beach or at the lake and it is really sunny. I love right after the sun rises and right before it sets.

6) The only reason I go to Mexican restaurants is for the chips and salsa. That's all I really want, but I just have to order so people don't think I'm weird.

So now I tag Brooke Babcock, Bobbie Jo Redondo, Jen Toone, Roxanne Foster, and Jessica Peers.

Hair Wars

So I was in a fashion show and they chopped off my hair. The theme of the show was "decades" as in 1920's, 30's, 40's etc. I was the 60's girl and Twiggy was the inspiration for my hair style. It's definitely the shortest my hair has ever been, and Jeff isn't too happy about that, but the show was pretty fun. There were probably 50 models and it was at a club in downtown Sacramento . . . kind of a big deal. Now my nickname has become Twiggy, Twigs, Twig . . . you get the idea.



Brooke was my moral support. Let's just say it wasn't my normal scene.

Why I like Bountiful....

Awesome mountain biking trail 10 minutes from my house.


Why is this guy smiling?

He might have just got accepted to BYU-Hawaii for Winter 2009. So to all my friends in Hawaii - let him borrow your surfboards.
