A New Day...

I plaguerized some photos from Tawni's blog today as I didn't have a chance to visit them over the weekend. While Tawni worked on a project, Stella and Jason napped. He is so good with this little girl.Tawni updated her blog and this is the new header. I just love this little picture of Stella with her flapper hat on. The hat was a gift from Jamie and her Mom Mickey and it is adorable!




Cortney and his friend Channing have been running all over Utah for the last week. Actually, Channing arrived from Maine last week and the fun started in Vegas. Cort's friend Ryan who also used to live in Maine, now lives in Vegas so they kicked off Channing arrival with a "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" weekend. On Tuesday night they went up to Salt Lake to ski. They skied Brighton first and then Snowbird. Channing was amazed by the mountains. He actually found them "scary" he said. Fresh powder, out-of-bounds skiing, and bargain hotel prices made this leg of their trip fantastic. They came back to St George Friday night and Ryan, his girlfriend Uralia (also from Maine originally) and another friend Jackie came here for the weekend. I bailed and went to Vickie and Tom's house for movie night and a sleepover. The kids got up Saturday morning and went up to Zions National Park. They rented a lodge at Zions Mountain Lodges which they said was AMAZING. They hiked Angel's Landing which is one of the most difficult hikes in Zions. Cort's friend Theresa tooks photos and will email me so I can share with you later. They came home today and Channing heads back to Maine tomorrow. He had so much fun and just loved it out here. He plans on returning next year unless he is able to actually find work with FedEx out here and move West. Cort said it was probably the single best week he has had in his life!

The construction on the townhome is moving right along. I've been watching the heating and airconditioning go in as well as all of the electrical. They told me yesterday that it may be done by the end of May. Whoo-hoo! I had originally planned to go for a walk this evening over to the house and take some more photos but a nice desert rainstorm developed so I've decided to stay inside and read. I'm reading two books right now, one for work called "Execution, The Discipline of Getting Things Done", and a book given to me by a friend called "Nature Girl". It is a perfect day for reading!

Have a good week! Love and Hugs!
