Our Mexican Christmas...

i have to say, my plan of a Mexican Christmas vacation turned out exactly how i envisioned it! We had the perfect set up for the family literally right on the beach in Playa del Carmen and in the middle of the 5th ave strip. this was a much needed vacation that took a couple of days for everyone to unwind from their busy lives, but mexico seems to have the perfect formula to do just that.

First Crib...

just purchased this beauty yesterday! who would of thought black but it has really grown on me & it was the one on sale. i'm actually really excited about it! i can't wait for this little guy to come, the count down is just around the corner... don't you think he'll look so cute in his new crib!!!

Yippy.....

Danny & I are thrilled to be expecting a little boy, after a long run of unsuccessful attempts! its hard to get it through my head that this is really happening. i guess it makes it that much more exciting for us.

my pregnancy so far has been a breeze. this little boy must be real content in there cause he has given me no trouble. seeing him squirming around was such an amazing thing to see. you would never guess he'd been frozen at one point!

this was well worth the fight i gave to have my dream come true... we are so grateful to be having this experience in our lives and thank all who have supported us along the way. couldn't have done it without all of you and Goldman Sachs for such great insurance!

DUE DATE... APRIL 18th!!!!

Logan to Jackson Hole

Here are some pics of Danny's race in September. I've been a major slacker in the blogging world so I'm doing a little catch up.... The race is 206 miles starting in Logan. They had a team of 5 and relayed all the way to Jackson. It was quite the event and was a very long day. The team took 9th in their division, not too shabby! We had a great time and hope to be apart of it next year...

summer races @ sundance...

one of my favorite places in Utah is Sundance, such a beautiful scene. Danny & I have loved coming up here for his Wednesday night races. we are sad to see it come to an end, Danny had definitely gotten some good training and got better every time! he's getting ready for the 24 hrs of Moab coming up in October. his next race coming up is in 2 wks, a relay race from Logan to Jackson Hole! 50 miles on a seat sounds like fun right? so i'll let you know how it goes...

Fourth of july

this was our fourth of july celebration up in park city. here is the crazy gang, p-nut took the pic!
we stayed at the loges at deer valley, the place was awesome.
i always forget how gorgeous it is up there, you feel like you traveled
to another place far far away! we made dinned, went swimming and
watched the fire works down at the park to celebrated our wonderful
freedom!

cute picture of ry, my mom and i.....

danny, p-nut, ry, jac & i all went mountain biking at deer valley
to kick of the celebration. we all had so much fun.
can't wait to do it again......

sleepy Carlos...

we headed up to Park City for the 4th of July while Carlos headed to my friends house. some how she ended up with a few extra dogs so Carlos has six dogs to play with! this is what happens to english bulldogs after a day of play....

London to Madrid...

so our trip to europe was awesome, sometimes you just have to get out of town!
we started out trip in London to see my bro Ryan and girlfriend Jacqui. i had the first day all
to myself, exploring on the metro and wondering into quaint little villages. i soon fell deeply in love with London, so happened the weather was pleasantly fabulous. i had to restrain myself when it came to the shopping, you have no idea how awesome it is, unless you've been there of course. there was an H&M on every corner, they call it Hennes there. to bad everything is double the price! the sights where great and having Ry & Jacqui there to show us around made the experience that much better. they showed us the best things to see, went to a play called "into the hood," and took us to eat at some good places. its all about good food when you travel, right!
danny was our pro tour guide in Madrid, old stomping grounds for him. Ry suggested we rent bikes to go check out the city, so we did. this was the high light of the trip for me. we cruised the whole city with danny as our guide for bout 4 hrs. people where soo jealouse as they watched us zipping bye and then we'd ring our bells so they'd get out of our way. we're smart travelers what can i say.
we went to Danny's friends wedding which was 3 hrs south of Madrid. that was quit the experience. lets just say i've never eaten so much food and we left at 3am. the party was still going strong,, they know how to party.... then we were off back to London then to Philly then to Las vegas then home....Ahhhh, i looked so jacked up and it didn't help that i had four huge bug bits on my face. the price you pay for fun.... but totally worth it!

Memorial Day...

Memorial Day is much more than a three-day weekend that marks the beginning of summer. To many people, especially the nation's thousands of combat veterans, this day, which has a history stretching back all the way to the Civil War, is an important reminder of those who died in the service of their country.
