Here's the small plane I flew out of Augusta, Ga in.

This is a view from Ensign Peak

More photos from Ensign Peak- the peak Brigham Young saw
in the "This is the Place" vision.

This is the SLC library. Very nice.

Here is me hiking in the Wasatch Mountain Range East of SLC.

The temperature, already in the 70s, drops another 10 deg around the mountain streams. They are icy cold.

Enjoying the cool mountain air.

Like I said earlier, click on the top photo to see all the photos in the album.

I rented a mountain bike and took a ski lift to the top of a Park City mountain and took the fast way down. That was a blast. Also, did the Temple Square tour and a two day-hikes in the nearby mountains. All-in-all it was a fun trip- though I did manage to squeeze some work into it!

Kennedy Riding Bike

2008-04-17T20:32:00.002-05:00

Took the girls to Ft Gordon today and after taking off Kenny's training wheels, she quickly learned to ride her bike. Just needs to work on turning. She's very proud of herself.

Easter Dresses

2008-04-13T18:51:00.011-05:00

We finally got around to taking pictures of the girl's Easter dresses. Kiley and Bailey had a fun time posing.

Click on any of the pictures to see the full size image.

Bailey decided to help herself and make chocolate milk. She had about an inch of chocolate on the bottom of the cup, it was enough to make 3 large cups of chocolate milk. She only spilled a little- but we aren't encouraging her.

Activities over the past few days

2008-04-11T18:43:00.008-05:00

Friday, after Chad came home from work, we went out to the lakes and played on the playground and visited with our neighbor who was camping out there. We stayed for a BBQ.

Afterward, we watched the horses grazing by the stables. The stables were closed for the afternoon, but we enjoyed looking at the horses.

On the ride home, we saw an old Army medical helicopter and Kiley and Bailey wanted to get out and take a look. They wanted Chad to drive it, but he told them he didn't have the keys.

Wednesday, while Chad was at work, all the girls went to the strawberry patch and got a bunch of fresh strawberries.

Today Kennedy continued enjoying her Spring break and posed for this picture.

After work today, Chad worked on the pond, adding a few more plants and moving rocks around.

That's all for now-

Chad made these for my Birthday.

Indian Fried Bread

2008-03-31T09:51:00.004-05:00

We made indian fried bread (fritters here in the South) on Saturday. The extra girl in the photos is Kennedy's friend. It was a good rainy-day activity.

Ridin Ponies at the Stables

2008-03-29T11:50:00.005-05:00

Chad took the twins to the stables this morning. The girls had a great time riding Buttercup. They both thought it was so funny that one of the ponies was named Ty-Ty- since that's how Kiley pronounces her name sometimes.

2008-03-26T19:29:00.000-05:00

Kennedy fell asleep on the couch holding Tink last night. She was sitting straight up. Pretty funny.

Good Friday

2008-03-21T19:35:00.001-05:00

Here are some photos from today and yesterday. The girls had an egg hunt at play-group yesterday and today we went to a spring festival at a local church. They had a petting zoo with a llama, camel, a monkey and a bunch of other animals. The girls also enjoyed riding the train there.

Here was some weather in Atlanta this past weekend

2008-03-21T15:29:00.001-05:00

We got some big winds and storms. Looks like Atlanta got a tornado or two. Thanks for forwarding the pic mom.

Easter Egg Hunt

The twins at the library Easter egg hunt!

Gassy

2008-03-18T20:46:00.000-05:00

I've decided that our next vehicles will be scooters...

Not this kind, they still take gas... Probably something more along the lines of this: These puppies just plug into the wall don't they?

Sick Kids

2008-03-18T18:48:00.000-05:00

This morning Kennedy and Kiley woke up with fevers. Kennedy has been sick for the past 2 days and has missed school this week.

Potty Time

2008-03-18T18:38:00.000-05:00

So far this week Bailey has:

Pee'd in her pants about 12 times
Poop'd in her pants 3 times

And it's only Tuesday! But we're not giving up! No diapers or pull-ups for this kid anymore (except for when we go out).

We decided to potty-train one twin at a time because our washing machine could not keep up.

The girls are just smiling as usual for the camera. I think they get that from Clay. BTW they threw dirt on the jeep so it would be like Dad's.
