Greetings from Park City


Steve and I took Friday off of work and headed to Park City for a couple days. It's been fun but we realized that there isn't much going on in May in Park City. We looked at the city guide in our hotel room and it had activities for all the months of the year EXCEPT May, we had a good laugh over that.

I dont know why this paragraph is in blue, blogger is making me crazy so I give up. I tried to put these pictures with the rest but it's not cooperating! The first one is some marmots we saw while on the lift, they were getting a front row seat at the Alpine slide. The second on is at the nature preserve.

Some of this trips hiccups:
-The weather isn't warm enough for water activities (we wanted to go jet skiing)
- The art museum we like to go to is in between exhibits
- I forgot my deodorant

We've managed to do some things and its been nice to get away from work, and packing and cleaning.

Fun things we've done:
- Went to Swaner Nature Center/Eco Preserve. We saw Sandhill Cranes, a muskrat and lots of passerines.
- We rode the ski lift and went down the Alpine Slide. We saw lots of marmots while we were on the lift.
- We soaked in the hot tub (too bad there were leaves and other crap floating all over)
-I got a free lettuce wrap because my first one had dirt in it

Today we are going to get a candy apple and go shopping at the outlets. All in all its been a nice getaway.















At the eco preserve















Around where we saw the muskrat




















Unfortunately, moments after this picture was taken Steve was eaten by that wolf.




















Hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day weekend!

Sorry to hog..

This would continue for years...Ben's already fed up.
The future mother at work.
For about two months in the summer of '91, she refused to leave this house.
The first heavy machinery he ever operated. (PS Ben's behind him in the white hat, so says Mom's note on back of the pic I scanned)
I remember dancing to "Lolli-pop, Lolli-pop"...
First place? Go Cougars! (not BYU's)
The happy (crazy) family

I don't mean to hog the blog, but I have been scanning a bunch of my old pictures (you may have notice on fb) and thought I would share some since many of the best include you all as well...Enjoy!

Stepping Up

Well, since Katie "unofficially" challenged us all to update more, I figure I'll let everyone know how we're doing here in Oshkosh.

Reid has his two bottom teeth, and has had them for a couple weeks now.  I think the top ones might be coming in soon.  He loves to crawl with his legs and knees, but can't figure out how to work his arms.  Today I had this moment where I thought "He's so smart he knows man isn't suppose to use all fours!"  He really works his legs so hard and his arms just stay totally still.  Either way, he just ends up going backwards or practically getting stuck with his butt straight in the air.  He went from one solid food serving a day to three overnight.  He loves pears.  There aren't any foods he hasn't liked, but pears definitely seem to be the favorite.

Ben loves lawyering.  He's so anxious to get a jury trial.  His stories kill me, he does people such a service and it seems they either don't appreciate it or bawl for fear.

I love watching my comedy shows.  Yup, that's what I'm doing right now.  ABC Wednesday and NBC Thursday light up my life.

Okay, so this really headed no where fast, but hopefully it will appease Katie and anyone else who wanted a new post from Wisconsin.

Welcome to Katie's blog

Welcome to my blog; I am the only one who posts and then comments on those posts. This week, I saw two male Lazuli Buntings on my bird-feeder, and it was very cool. Apparently, they are beautiful singers, so I am waiting to hear their songs as they compete to attract females!

Happy Dance



So I definitely have first time parent syndrome, aka I think everything my child does is so amazing and cute and I must share it with the world. Anyway, this is something she just started doing. When she is in her bumbo and gets excited or likes what she is eating she does this little shake, it is so hilarious. See for yourselves. Love you all!!!

On the move



She isn't doing the best crawling she has ever done in the video, but none the less she is crawling. She is still kinda slow about it but it gets her where she wants to go. Love you all, enjoy!
