Lehi Round Up Rodeo
Every June, Lehi decides to put on the best Rodeo on this side of the Mississippi! We love going, listening to the loud music, and watching the crazy cowboys take the ride of their lives. “Bucking”, whether it’s on horses or bulls, of course is our favorite event. Honestly, each year when I watch, I …
It’s Zombie Time
We had the opportunity to race last Saturday night in the Zombie Chase! The boys were excited! We drove 45 minutes out to the middle of nowhere (Eurkea, UT) and headed into a ghost town. The race started on the side of a mountain, where we climbed into some empty train cars and waited …

We signed up for a snowboarding lesson through Park City. It was a gorgeous day, probably 40 degrees and blue skies. We had 5 people in our class. We learned …
Arches and Halloween
We spent Thursday in Arche’s National Park! We had a fabulous tour of The Fiery Furnace, guided by a park ranger. We also did our own hike up to Delicate Arch. This year for Halloween we had an inmate, a baby, and a Star Wars Clone.
Wrapping up our week with Fumiko and Anna
