Disneyland

After 4 months of nothing from me. I guess I try again.
We had a great week away. It started in Ellensburg so Dan could run a Marathon. His time was 3:13. Which is great but not his goal. We then spent two days drive to Anaheim, CA. I thought our Hotel was great. Walking distance and plenty big. We went to Disneyland for two days and Universal Studios one day. We went to the beach and a Museum. Friday we started the three day drive home. With a stop at the golden gate bridge and San Francisco for lunch. That night we ended just outside the Redwoods. The next day we drove slowly though them. Beautiful country. I think that Dan could move down that way. We played on the beach and the kids got sunburned. (Autumn was only blotchy because I did a quick spray, but Liam never got any sunscreen.) We made it Grants pass to spend the night. Had our hubcap stole while we slept. Sunday we drove the last 7 hours home, to find everything well. We had a great time, but don't have any plans to spend that like of money again even to soon. The Exchange kids did great, mainly slept in the car. Erik like to sing to his MP3 player, which is funny and a little annoying.

Dan at the finish line.

Nookachamps

Dan and Clifton ran in the Nookachamps 1/2 Marathron this last weekend. The both did great. Dan was able to shave 5 minutes off his last years time. They both look great. Wish I even wanted to run to the corner.

Christmas break

We had a great Christmas Break. Our first night was spent in a little cabin at Ensign Ranch with Dan's brother Clifton and family. It was so beautiful. It snowed all night and it was hard to leave in the morning. (Not only becasue of the roads, but the it seemed like winter wonderland.

Christmas was spent in Utah with my family. I'm so lucky that my family is so great. We had a wonderful time. Between Christmas and New Years we went to ARCHES. It was awesome. The colors were so beautiful. Red, White and Blue. What more could we ask for. Dan even let us get Hotel both nights. (NO tents in the snow.)

We are turely blessed.

Well, I got a new (old oven) for $50.00 and it works. I've made cookies, rolls and french fries to try it out. I thinkI'm back in bussines. Wish my luck and any new recipes.

Free Turkeys

Autumn's name was drawn for a free turkey. (OK a small chicken) Her friend from church also won. Here are the luck winners.

Turkey Trot

Today was our third anual fun run. Savannah ran a great race coming in third in 4-5th grade. Autumn also surprized us by running hard, not stoping and even passing a few people. She was fourth in the 1st grade.
