Happy Birthday, Jill!

We love and miss you all! Here is a little something that we thought would be fun to do... ;)



But I messed up since I ended the video too soon and they were not able to deliver their entire message... so I tried to make up for it...



We were hanging out at the Riverwoods Mall and thought it would be fun to take a video of us singing "Happy Birthday to you" , Jill, in front of the burning waterfall.

Wild Turkeys!

Dad and I are taking a drive up the canyon to look at the fall colors and so he can take some pix. We got a surprise on our way.

Adventuring September 2011

Dad and I decided to have a little getaway this week. We thought it would be fun to go up through Kamas and take The Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. We figured there should be lots of beautiful scenery and some good photography opportunities for Dad.

Lately the nights have been pretty chilly, as you can see by this "weather report" from this morning. :)




We were pleasantly surprised to see that the beautiful Fall colors were already making their appearance.


And we saw that there are some pretty swift cows in this area, ...



at least 35 mph seems pretty speedy for a cow to me.

More pictures coming...

Jared's 25th Birthday! Warning - you may just want to watch the video ;-)

 

Well, another of our "babies" has passed the quarter century mark!! ;-) This video is actually from February 6th. Bekah, Glenn, and Bryson were visiting and leaving the next morning so we celebrated Sunday evening before Jared's birthday... "Birthday Eve?". This video has preserved a family tradition of honoring the birthday "child" with our "as-bad-as-you-can-get" rendition of singing happy birthday. Honest... we don't usually sound that bad. :-D

Unfortunately I stopped recording too early, because Jared was just about to take a nice big bite out of his cake. ...my family... awwww...

Here is the still after the big bite.

 

♪♫ Happy Birthday, Jared!! ♪♫

We love you!! :)

Oh, and I have to say this cake tastes a lot better than it looks. This lemon cake has been Jared's requested birthday cake for four years now. The first time I made it we lived in SoCal and it turned out amazing (if I do say so myself), but there is something about living at this high altitude in Utah that does not like cakes. I have tried adjusting it for altitude and it still does not turn out quite right, but we will keep trying. At least it is still very yummy. :)
