Update

It's been awhile since my last post and alot has happened... First off I was totally devestated by the plane crash that killed 10 Cedar City residents. I knew a few of them and my heart goes out to their families. I can't stop thinking about about how fragile life is. But I am so grateful for my knowledge of life after death and that families are forever.

While life can end so abruptly it can also happen so quickly! Both of my sister-in-laws had babies this month! Braxton & Gavin are so dang cute! It is so awesome to see new precious life! Congrats you guys! For those of you not keeping count that makes me an aunt to 7! Holy Cow is all I can say!

Danon became a "dedicated hunter" for the next three years and has been hunting every available second. So Sunday I decided to tag along and go camping with him at "The Peaks" I am not much a fan of "The Peaks" but went anyway we have to compromise! We hiked the next day of course and Danon is a dang mule! He treks up and down steep hills like it's nothing! And after he cuts wood while I read "country home magazine" in the truck! He didn't even ask me to help! I guess he could see I was in the middle of something important! Thanks Danon!!! Now with all the money you are saving us on our gas bill can I hire an interior decorator??

I thought I would never say this and Jamie will die when she reads this but I do enjoy lap swimming! It is the ULTIMATE workout! I even will get up at 5:30 am to do this crazy thing! January was the first time I had ever even tried on swim goggles besides to snorkel in and I couldn't even swim a lap I hated it! Now I can get in and actually swim! Hooray!! But wow it's been a road getting here! And yes Jamie you still can kick my can at swimming!

Sorry about that (typo)

Have you realized that men can hike all day in the mountains, but they get in a mall and they just sit on a bench. So if you want to show Danon up just take him shopping!

That's so funny!! Jordan was just saying that no matter how much weight Danon had on his back he could out hike anyone on his crew! He just must be a good little hiker! :) But that last comment is so true--haha! All we'd have to do is take Danon and Jordan to the mall and for some reason it's just too much walking for them! :) oh and by the way, you don't need an interior decorator--your house is so dang cute!!!

Wow Bree! I am so impressed with your dedication to swimming! I suck at "lap swimming" so your story has inspired me... not enough to get up at 5:30 in the morning, but inspiring none the less!
