Swimming at the Clearfield Pool

-
I realize that these pictures are horribly out of order. I've been sorting through my 2011 picture folder and when I get inspired, I blog. So you'll just have to try and keep straight what happened when.

Anyway, this particular outing is when Anika and Makadie came to visit us in March. For those of you who don't remember, Roni was pregnant with Risa and not feel well at all. So we decided to help out by taking the girls "off her hands" for a while. They came to visit Ogden for a week. We had a lot of fun and were able to come up with plenty of things to keep them entertained. And Roni was able to catch up on some sleep. I'm pretty sure she had fun too. :)

One of our outings was to go swimming. Clearfield has built a really fun indoor aquatic center. It's definitely geared toward children and families, and we were smart enough to go during school hours, so the pool wasn't crowded and mostly full of Makadie and Anika-sized kids.

I know this picture is fuzzy, but it's still so darn cute that I have to include it. Look at the grin on her face!!!
Just for the record, I wasn't ignoring Makadie. Dad and I had divided the kids to make sure that they would both be safe. I just happened to have the camera and Anika. :)
We both look so lovely in our swimsuits.
I just have to say, it's days like this that make me wish I could get a re-do on my childhood. They definitely didn't have stuff like this when we were kids. All we had was the Hawthorne pool and sprinklers in the backyard.

One Year!

-
For those of you who may not know, today is my one year anniversary. It has been exactly one year since my graduation from BYU -Idaho and Rexburg . That's right, December 20, 2006 was the memorable day that I said good-bye to Rexburg and the campus that had been my home for too many years and entered the real world. All right, Ogden UT isn't exactly the "real world" but in honor of my anniversary , I thought I would reminisce for a moment and do a recap of my year. Unfortunately the only people who read my blog are quite aware of what I have done this year, but hopefully it will provide some humor . First I celebrated my release from the land of ice and snow by going to Arizona for Christmas. although it is traditional to wish for a white Christmas , there is nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas in a place that is warm enough to swim. I agree with Alita that we should spend Christmas in AZ more often, it just makes sense. Upon my return to the tundr...

DISNEYLAND!!!!

I'm sure you are all aware that we went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving. I'm making this assumption because four of the six people who regularly read my blog were part of the expedition. We had a great time and here's a little summary of our trip. I was a little apprehensive about spending that much money to go to a theme park. I went to Disneyland when I was a sophomore in High School and had about as much fun as I do at the doctor's office (and no, the doctor's office is not my happiest place on earth.) I knew lots of this had to do with the company and the fact that I got pretty sick in the park and on the way home, but there was still a part of me who attributed it to the fact that I'm not really an "amusement park person." But the girls did make it sound like fun, so I decided to give the park one more chance. Well, I'm certainly glad that I did. It was a blast!!! We had such a good time and I only thought I was going to die once, which is real...

Colorado Trip- Musuem of Nature and Science

I know it's been a while since I actually went to Colorado, but I have a strict policy on skipping ahead. That means that I can't blog any of my Yosemite pictures until I've done my Easter weekend, so I decided to stop procrastinating. My weekend in Colorado was fantastic. I guess it's hard to go wrong when I'm visiting my favorite brother, sister-in-law and niece. Coleman and Roni are great hosts and anyone who hasn't been out to visit them should serious rethink that. Of course, the only people who read my blog are immediate family members, and they've all been there. So i guess you'll all just have to go again. When Coleman asked me what I wanted to I said "go to the zoo." I'm sure this doesn't come as a shock to anyone who even remotely knows me. I love animals it is true, but I had another reason for wanting to go to the zoo. Makadie loves animals too (I knew she was going to take after me) and know a lot of their names and...
