It was a beautiful day for winter in Utah! Unseasonably warm, and the perfect day to pick out our new, first live Christmas tree! We went to Beck Family Tree Farm in Alpine. Found a tree, and cut it down! TJ and Nate did the sawing, while Erica and I went for the four …

Thanksgiving 2014
We spent Thanksgiving at my moms house with the Kimmels. Always a good time. I brought the rolls, Sarah brought the mashed potatoes, and my mom & Bruce made the rest! Erica and Michael. Apparently they found some sunglasses somewhere. TJ and Michael getting ready for dinner. Sarah and Maddie Erica and Nate.
Halloween 2013
Halloween has come and gone.. Seriously, where does the time go? We don’t do much in the way of decorating. We just put a few pumpkins our porch. But my next door neighbor, who is 5, told me about 10 times this month that his house is decorated way better than ours. lol So, Nate …
Escalante-Kodochrome-Bryce
The tough part of a weekend getaway like this is sorting through all the amazing pictures! 2 weeks ago, we decided to take one last hiking trip before winter, and go to the Escalante/Bryce Canyon area. I decided Bryce was my top spot as the most beautiful landscape in Utah! Really, I wish I could …

Cornbelly’s of Utah

Bryce Canyon Race and Hiking
A few months ago, Eliece and I decided to sign up for a half marathon in Bryce Canyon. We heard it was a gorgeous race- plus it was a 2000 foot descent (bonus), and I’ve been wanting to run a race that we got to travel for! Unfortunately, deciding so late, there were very few …
Alpine Sliding Rock with Kids
We tried to go to Alpine Sliding Rock last weekend, when we were stopped at the gate to the trail by a cop. He told us we couldn’t slide on the rock that day because they were filming a movie! He also said there was someone “very famous” up at the waterfall, and hopefully they …
