I can’t believe my last post was July 2011 and I never did finish writing about our trip to Utah. Thanks to Facebook I can summarize the remainder of 2011 and most of 2012 by reading my older statuses. Not every exciting to read about but at least I can have some sort of record for our family history.
2011 -
July: We had a great time in Utah visiting family and friends, I took the girls to the American Idol concert and they got to meet and take pictures with the top 12. Wow, was that an experience Alex and Rachel were so star struck and poor Rachel was crying hysterically when she got to meet some of her favorites.
September: Seth and I accepted our Stake Presidents challenge and we both created profiles on Mormon.org. Seth, Alex and I took a road trip to San Francisco for my Grandma’s 90th birthday bash. It was Seth’s fist visit to the bay area and I think he must have liked it because we have been back three more times since then!
October: Alex turned 12.
December: Seth started a new job as US Airways and we are enjoying those flight benefits!!!
2012 -
February: We decided to tryout our flight benefits and fly to Vegas, when we got to the airport all seats were sold out so we decided to fly to San Francisco for the day and have lunch in China Town. We hoped on a flight to the bay area no jackets dressed in summer clothes. We rode the Bart into downtown and met my mom who had jackets waiting for us headed to China Town to find out it was Chinese New Year. What an amazing and fun day!
March: The girls had their State Cheer Championships. They took 3rd place which was amazing — they only had a month in a half to practice while the other teams had up to 5 months. We joined the Simpson girls for a day of skiing. Not much to be said about melting, spring snow in Flagstaff. It was Rachel’s and Alex’s first time skiing, I think well try it again in December on some real snow.
May: Rachel turned 15 and Jeremy graduated from High School - Yay!!!
June: We had a busy month! We flew to Ohio to visit our friends, the Hyer family, where we attended Megan's baptism. The girls spent a week at Girls Camp. For Fathers Day weekend we went to California, where the girls experienced Venice Beach and long boarding in Santa Monica. I can’t find the pics we took in Ohio. Sorry Hyers!
In August we went horse back riding — my first time. And we went to a Diamond Backs game with our friends, the Copes.
More August: After being married for over 4 years, Seth and I took our first trip together without the kids and went to San Francisco. We enjoyed a great dinner in Sausalito, road bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge, and attended my cousin's wedding. Seth had hurt his arm before going on this trip. We though maybe it was broken. When we got home he went to the doctor and fund out that he had disconnected his bicep. I have one tough husband he rode a total of 16 miles with his arm.
October: Alex turned 13. Rachel and I accompanied Seth on a business trip to Dallas. While Seth was in meetings I took Rachel to meet my friend Christina and her family. We took Rachel to the Texas State Fair and pigged out on some good Texas food!
November: Another busy month! The girls and I went to the Breaking Dawn Part 2 premier. It's sad to see the end of this tradition. We spent Thanksgiving at my brother's house in Fontana, CA and also made an impromptu visit to Disneyland.
December: Seth’s parents invited the family to Park City to celebrate Christmas. We had so much fun tubing, skiing and spending time with cousins, aunts, uncles and Grandma and Grandpa. Rachel LOVED skiing, but Alex could take it or leave it. I did pretty well for one who had not skied in over 20 years. (Flagstaff did not count! The snow was melting and I slid down the mountain!)
