Alyssa's Favorites!!

Here are some of the things Alyssa LOVES to do along with some random pics!!

Taking a bath with her toys Grandma gave to her!

She loves to go on walks and ride in her stroller. She loves to watch people!

Alyssa is always on the go either rolling or army crawling and she loves to go underneath the end table and then she gets stuck and can't get out!

Alyssa loves to go swimming and ride in her blow up turtle.

Observation Point

Two weeks ago I took a quick girls trip to St. George to go hiking with some friends. It was my first time leaving her and it was sad but I had lots of fun to. I drove down Friday afternoon and went to a party with Jane and her husband Ted ( I used to work with her) for a friend of theirs who had gotten a promotion at work. It was lots of fun and loads of good food. We got up early on Saturday and met the gang of about 15 of us girls and headed off to Zions. We started our hike about 10:00 hiking Observation Point which is 8 miles round trip. We had a little snack at the top and headed back down and afterwards we went to a little cafe called Oscars that is on your way out of Zions. It is our little spot we go to every time we hike very good and HIGHLY recommended. We were exhausted when we got back and just relaxed and chatted. I had to get up early Sunday morning to make it back to church by 12:30 so I didn't get to stay long. I loved every minute of it and thank Jane and Ted for letting me stay with them. There two boys are the greatest. Wish I could have spent more time with them. Next time I will have to spend more time and bring Alyssa with me since they love her to death! Thanks to all who made this trip a blast!

This is everyone who made it to the top!!

Top of Utah 1/2 Marathon

On Friday Sarah and Camron came up from St. George and we headed up to Logan. We got all loaded up on our carbs at yummy Olive Garden and then headed to Tremonton to spend the night with my sister Kimberly and her family which thanks so much for letting up stay with you. We got up at the crack of dawn or maybe even before that and headed to Logan for the race which started at 7 a.m. Well all finished in one piece with no major injuries. It was a challenge but very motivating. Here are some pics of us all after the race.















Me, Heather and Sarah Sarah, Shelly, Kimberly, Me, LaTesa, Tiffany

After the race we went back to Kimberly's house to get all cleaned up and to rest and relax. We had some dinner and just hung out. Here is Alyssa giggling as my sister plays with her.

All in all it was a good trip and fun to see everyone. Hope we can get together more often not just races. Thanks for everyones motivation and encouragement.

Alyssa first camping trip!

This weekend was very fun! We went up to Big Cottonwood Canyon and went camping with our new ward. We were a little nervous about Alyssa being her first time camping and that it could get a little cold up in the mountains. But everything was fine and we all had a very fun time playing cards with people in our ward and sitting around the campfire enjoying the views!

Here are some pictures of the campout! Alyssa is such a happy baby and we love waking up and looking over her crib and seeing her smiling face in the morning!

A trip to Saint George

So last week Lance's parents were down in Saint George and we went to visit them and friends! It was a lot of fun! Here is a picture of Alyssa with her grandparents and her cousin Landon!

A night in Park City!

So for date night this week I decided to take Lance and Alyssa to Park City. It was a lot of fun we went on a ride called the alpine slide. Afterwards we went to the chocolate factory and shared a giant spicy pork burrito from a fun place called the Baja Cantina! Oh and did I mention in August it was fifty degrees up there! We froze our booties off! Here are a few fun pictures of on the slide at park city!

temple square

So we decided we both have not been to temple square in a long time and decided to make a fun night of it. Alyssa loved all the people and flowers everywhere, it was a lot of fun!
