Antelope Island Hike

On Saturday, I went hiking with Justin, Dave Sullivan, Peter and Amber to the top of the highest peak on Antelope Island called Frary Peak. The hike took about 5 hours round trip and it was a hard hike for me. The first mile or so is fairly steep and I was exhausted pretty quick. We all called it the hike that would never end. I also felt bad because our babysitter ended up babysitting for 7 hours instead of the 3-4 we told her and I also missed my niece Kyara's birthday party. All in all it was okay but I don't think I'll ever do the hike again!

Allison's Baby Blessing

On Sunday, April 28th we had Allison's baby blessing. It was a very easy going morning and things went very smoothly. I woke up at 6 AM to get the chicken in the crockpot and since Allison went to bed at 10 PM and woke up at 7 AM, I never had to get up at night...woo hoo!

The blessing went well and there ended up being 2 other baby blessings the same day which meant a crowded sacrament meeting and our large family didn't get to sit together. Afterwards we had our family over for lunch which totaled about 40 people...we have big families. Afterwards my brother and sister stayed and we played games and rode on my scooter, good times :)

Congratulations Mom!

My Mom just graduated with her bachelor's degree in Home and Family Living from BYU on Friday, April 25, 2008. She actually finished up her degree in December 2007 but she just walked on the 25th of April. I'm so proud of her and her accomplishment!!! Justin took the day off and we went to Provo for the graduation and then to the Olive Garden to eat and celebrate. It was a fun day!
