We went hiking on New Year's weekend with my sister's family. We didn't go very far from home, but we got a little lost and ended up hiking a lot longer than planned. We blazed our own trails through the pussy willows, scrub oak, and something with some wicked thorns. We also crossed the freezing cold river barefoot, twice. But we found the arch and we got home just in time for the best stew we'd ever tasted, thanks to my mom!

We also saw this cute little porcupine!

Merry Christmas Everyone! We had a fabulous Christmas and we hope you did too.

My new hutch. Merry Christmas to me! I've been wanting one for quite a while, and it was a super good price and I love it!

This just makes us smile every morning!

The St. George Marathon. Darin ran it in 4:00 and 23 seconds! Way to go honey! I got sick and only did 16 miles. Really disappointing after all that training. This was Lindsay and Buzz's first marathon and they did great. Lindsay finished in 4:15, and Buzz came in about an hour later with a very sore and swollen knee.
