Thanks and Giving

Thanksgiving was filled with lots of cousins, fun-crazy chaos, football, yummy food, making fools of ourselves playing "Just Dance", although the little kids were adorable getting their dance on. The week started with Josh getting engaged, ended with a beautiful sunset; and in between were lots of fun-filled memories.

My favorite pic of Thanksgiving. This depicts Austin and his cousins perfectly.

Washington DC in October

Kirk arranged for Tiff and I to go to DC for a Birthday Girls Trip. It was the perfect gift since we both love travel and history. Here it is:

Jefferson Memorial

Met up with longtime Family friends, Ashley and Whitney Klepinger

Streets of Georgetown

This WWII vet viewing HIS monument was so moving and inspirational to me. There was a group of them there, I wanted to hug them all.

Alexandria...Founding Fathers including GW were regulars here.

Library of Congress

Steps of Capitol Hill

Fall-Foilage-Football 2010

How I love the fall colors! I got to go to Utah a few times this fall. I haven't been there during Fall since my Father passed away. It made remember how much he loved it and why. Now Tiff appreciates it just the same.

This is Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon...Where my Dad purposed to my Mom.

BIG ISLAND - main island

6 months ago I left off at Easter. Soon after we headed to Hawaii 1 week just Kirk and I; we vistied y brother Brett and he adorable son. Then Tiffany and Josh got the younger boys over and we had a great time with Matt, Brynn and of course Makenna. We hiked waterfalls and more waterfalls, surfed (well the boys) and soaked up the sun. Then home for a bit and off to Sundance and Tiffs Graduation Ceremony. Before I know it Memorial day it here, then Summer arrives. We head to a fun filled Baker Family reunion in Yellowstone, Montana and 4th of July in Utah. In August it was off to Newport Coast Beach for our summer week there. Here are some snapshots of our adventures.
