Anniversary & New Years Eve

Kenneth and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on Dec 29th. It is amazing to think that so much time has already passed, and yet, it feels like we've been together for so long because we have been able to accomplish so many things and experience so many wonderful adventures together. In the 3 years that we have been married we have worked in Alaska, purchased a home, been to Hawaii, had a baby, and Kenneth has had many wonderful engineering internships to help for after graduation. We have also had countless rockclimbing trips and hikes galore throughout Utah. It has been such a fun adventure and I can't wait for all the many other things we will do in the future as our family grows.

This year, we headed down to Vegas. I laugh because it seems like we go there ALL the time, but NOT for the conventional reasons! We stay away from the strip (honestly, who wants porn thrown into their faces??) and spend most of our time in Red Rocks either climbing or hiking, and we just can't say no to the warm weather (at least compared to Utah's 20 degrees). This year was even better because my brother Michael and his wife Kim are living there for a few months, and they were gracious enough to watch Danny for us. The rest of the week we hung out with family and had a wonderful time.






It is so gorgeous here! It is a shame most people go to Vegas and miss it!


Reading with his Uncle Michael


We learned that Danny LOVES to lay in the sun! He was in heaven.


Conquering the rock!







We were also down in Vegas for New Years. In the early evening we spent some time with my brother Michael's friends - Allison and Chris. They had lots of people over and we had BBQ ribs, pizza and other goodies and spent time playing the Wii. It was really fun! I was a little chicken to try to Guitar Hero when everyone was around, so I played afterwards once most people had left, and I loved it! It was great! I will admit that my brother and I are made from the same mold...we both concentrate so hard on it that we barely move, while Kim and Kenneth rock out. It was hilarious. Afterwards we headed back to Michael and Kim's and watched the Vegas fireworks on TV. Silly huh? We were in bed by about 12:15 am! We had a great time! We'll be heading down again in less than a week on our way to Los Angeles for our CRUISE TO MEXICO!! :)

Have fun on your cruise!! What parts of Mexico do you get to see? Are you bringing Danny with you? He has gotten so big and he is so cute!

K how fun are you two? You know, if you ever want to go rock climbing in California, we are so there with you. Which Mexican cruise are you going on? I've been on the 4 day and I'm trying to convince Matt that we need to do the 7 day in March. Perhaps I'll use your pictures for my cause :-) Hope you have a great time!

And PS-I think the way you do Vegas beats everyone else, hands down!

Wow, you guys don't stop do you? Busy people. I always love to hear about how much fun you have together. Danny must be a mellow baby for you to be able to do all of those things. Avri was that way too. It wasn't until we had Sadie that we had to "slow down" a little. :) Have so much fun on your cruise!
