BYU Football Game

We spent the weekend in Provo for a BYU Football game.  They were playing Utah State so it was a great way for us to cheer on which ever team was winning at the time!  It was fun to spend time with Birianna & catch up on what she is doing at BYU.  She is loving it & doing well.  We had a great time watching the game.  It brought back a lot of memories for Jon & I.  BYU did end up winning in the end.

I can't believe Heidi is old enough to be going on dates!  She looked so beautiful in her dress!  This was her first date!

Happy Birthday Jon

Jon celebrated his birthday this year with just some of the family.  I guess we know when our kids are getting older & only two of the five are around to help us celebrate his birthday!  Heidi & Mallory were at a football game and Brianna was at BYU.  So just the boys & I helped him celebrate his birthday.  We took him out to dinner & then came home to open presents & have cake.  It was a little bit of a somber day for us, as it was the first birthday Jon celebrated without his Dad.  He & his Dad share the same birthday and this was a hard year for that.  We still think of Grandpa each & everyday. It was sad to not have him here celebrating like in years past with us!

Happy Birthday Jon!  We love you!  We know we give you a hard time most of the time but we do love and appreciate all that you do for our family.

Lake Powell

 We spent a few days in Lake Powell again this year.  We went with two other families and had a great time.  We stayed in the Antelope Point Marina and just went out each day from there to do our boating & cliff jumping.  We had beautiful weather most of the time with nice cool nights.  

Jack finally jumping after a lot of encouragment from all of us.  He loved it once he did it!

Heidi had a little accident with her wakeboard!  She took a pretty hard fall & the wakeboard came up and cut her head open.  It was deep enough that Jon felt like it needed some stiches.  Luckily our friend Mike had all the supplies they needed to stitch her up on the houseboat & save us a trip to the hospital.

Heidi trying her best to be brave!  She did great, but I think that pour Joanne's hand she was holding will never be the same from her squeezing it so hard!

We had a wonderful week with friends, yummy food, games & lots of fun! Thanks Broadbent's & Willis's for the great week!

5th Lotoja

Once again Jon had a crazy idea that it would be fun to train hard all summer and then in September do a 206 mile bike race from Logan to Jackson Hole!  He spent endless hours on his bike and did every bike race or ride that he could to prepare for the day.  It is always a fun weekend for the rest of us, as we watch and support him along the way.  He did great again this year.  We are so proud of him and the  great accomplishment that this is.

Once again it was an early morning!  It doesn't get any easier on the nerves for Jon.  He was a nervous wreck all morning!  

The kids got a wild idea to decorate the car this year!

The finish line for the 5th year in a row.  He finished with a time of 10:10!
