He's 29! Happy Birthday!

I hope Dave had a good birthday. It was definitely a day full of action. Dave had his third triathlon of the year at Jordanelle. The race started at 10am and my dad, me, Taylor, and Dave's parents were there to cheer him on. It still amazes me every time he gets out there and races. All went very well and he ended up taking 3rd in his age division and getting a medal. Way to go Dave! It was so fun to see him do so well and get something for it.

After the race my parents had a birthday lunch and cake for him and then we went to visit our brand new niece Kelly Ann Hough. Congrats to Lesa & Steve on beautiful little girl. She is so tiny, Taylor looked huge next to her.

Then we went to dinner with some neighborhood friends. Thanks to the Broadbents, Eberts and Princes for throwing Dave a party. It was so fun to spend time with them. We have wonderful people that surround us, we are so lucky.

It was a long exhausting day but so much fun.
Happy Birthday Dave!

1998 - Wasn't it Great!

I had my 10 year reunion on August 9th at Soldier Hollow and I dragged Dave to the party. Luckily a lot of my great girlfriends were there and Dave knows all the husbands. The boys had a little too much fun together, especially Joe and Dave, but they entertained us. It was nice to see a lot of people from HS that I haven't seen for awhile. I can't people how time flies. We are now all grown up, have families, and are approaching 30!

Great Job to those that put it together and thanks to Kye for being the MC(I wouldn't want to be up there).

We had a picture taken with some of the classmates and it is unfortunately blurry but I thought I would post it anyway.

I'm Free

I have been wanting to get my hair cut for a long time. I saved up birthday money and finally went to get it cut. Deep down I wanted to go short. The problem is will it look good? I had an internal struggle for a month - short or just a trim, short or just a trim. After a referral from Natalie I went to a new stylist, Tracy, at Olivia Jade Studio in Saratoga Springs. She did a wonderful job and she cut it short. I am now free of all my hair. I love it!

I hate having a picture of me on the blog, especially a close up, this is for you Mindy!

Taylor Thinks He Can Dance

Here is the last post of the night. The other night Taylor went crazy and was dancing all over the house. I caught a little bit on video. We could not stop laughing at him. He danced around the house for about a half hour.

Yee-Haw

On Saturday Taylor and I went shopping at the outlet stores in Park City while Dave went biking with Fro & Kade up Deer Valley. After shopping, and waiting a long time the guys finally found their way down the mountain and we headed to Heber. We went to the Wasatch County Fair Days parade and then to the rodeo. Taylor loved the parade. He really enjoyed the horses, the candy and all the excitement. Then we went home and changed into our rodeo outfits. Dave usually dresses up in wranglers but he wussed out and said it was too hot. Taylor was so cute in his wranglers and boots (thanks to Nikki). It was the funniest thing to watch him walk, he was a true cowboy that night. The rodeo was so much with with everyone there. It was fun to see Grandpa in the turck, the bull riding, the clown act, the candy and the fun light flasing glasses and that someone bought. Unfortunately Stevie got a little injured but was a tough girl. Amazingly enough Taylor lasted throughout the whole rodeo and the firework show, which I think is one of the best fireworks shows around. We didn't get home until 11:45 that night.

Bear Lake

Bear Lake was so much fun this year with the Draper Family. We love being with everyone, being up late, eating raspberry shakes and having wonderful adventures together. Thanks to Lesa & Steve for putting it together, Mom & Dad for the house, Amy & Duff for the boat, and everyone else for just being there.

Memories
*The Red Rooster
*Dave's broken coccyx
*Raspberry Shakes - 3 times
*Dave and Brady giving Kace and Drake some tips on picking up girls
*The flashy red boat that attracted the bear lake cops
*Dave & Steve S. always talking and giving everyone a hard time and driving me nuts
*Drake winning the golf game - with a 3 stroke subtration on each hole, replacing a few balls that were hit in a bad spot, and not playing part of the last hole
*Dave & Steve S. in the same golfcart together (bad idea) and getting it stuck in the mud
*Dad almost hitting Drake & I with a golf ball
*Taylor getting sick from drinking too much lake water
*The girls making our bed each morning
*All of the amazing talents - Carrie can fit way too many grapes in her mouth (Duff comment - she's crowning)
*All the wonderful meals
*Listening to Kace and Drake wine on the water wienie
*Sierra always watching out for Taylor
*Getting to surf - thanks to Duff

And so many more. Thanks everyone!
