Kate's Baby Blessing

Yesterday Kate had her baby blessing. It was a wonderful event and it was such a great time for everyone involved. It is such a wonderful blessing to be able to have this spiritual event in our lives that not only blesses the baby but the entire family as well. We hope that you enjoy the pics from the event.

Happy Halloween!

Tis' the season where gowls and goblins fill the air to frighten little children. But alas, Kate was not afraid because she is such a powerful super-baby (or it could be the fact that she still can't focus on anyone). We hope you enjoy these pics of Halloween as much as we did.

Family trip to Florida

We all just got back from sunny Florida. It was fun and Kate did so well. We went and stayed with Molly's sister Lisa and her family. It was a lot of fun and we did a lot of fun things.

Lil' Kate is seeing the world

I thought that it was time to add a few more pics for those dieing to see them. We have been taking Kate for strolls in the hills. Daddy goes for a bike ride and mom and baby go for a hike. We think that Kate enjoys them but we aren't sure as she falls asleep almost as soon as we start.

On September 3rd at 2:55 PM Molly and Kenton welcomed the newest addition to the family. Kate is a beautiful 7 lb 9 oz 20 inch long baby girl. Both Molly and baby appear to be fine and the delivery was smooth. Please enjoy some pictures of her first day and all of the wonderful people that came to visit.

Boys Trip to Moab

Dave, Brock, Steve and I returned from a fun weekend mountain biking in Moab. We road Porcupine Rim, Bartlett Wash and Sovereign Trail. All of the trails were fun and we had an awesome time. The trails were cery technical and the Porcupine Rim was both mentally and physically exhausting. We can't wait to do it again next year!

Our Trip to Great Basin NP

Molly, and I with her younger sister Suzy and husband Brannon had a wonderful time in Great Basin NP. This is a smaller park on the Utah Nevada border with the worlds oldest living things (Bristle Cone Pines) as well as one of the coolest caves (Leman) that I have seen. It was a quick two nighter but it was fun.

Hello Belize!

Molly and I have just returned from the wonderful world of Belize. It was very hard to return to the hustle and bustle of the real world again after a wonderful week on Vacation.

Belize is a wonderful world of contrasts. We started our trip on Caye (pronounced "key") Caulker. This small island is about a 45 minute water taxi ride off the main land. While their we enjoyed a very laid back and relaxed atmosphere that can only be found in the waters of the Caribbean. Also we had a chance to go snorkeling on the second longest barrier reef in the world. The waters were so clear and blue. Gorgeous!

We then spent one night on Caye Ambergris in the town of San Pedro. It was still beautiful, but it was more crowded.

From the islands we then moved onto the Jungle. We took a three hour bus ride into the jungled hills to a small town called San Ignacio. From here we went into Guatamala for one day to see Tikal. We also saw many ruins in this area of Belize. We also had a chance to go to the Mountain Pine Ridge National Park. In this area of Belize there are many rivers, waterfalls and Piny forests. It was a lot cooler and less humid in this part of Belize. It is a great place to find refuge from the heat and humidity of the rest of the country.

We are glad to be back but can't wait for the next time we go.
