I hope the Spirit of Halloween found you!

It is the spookiest day of the year and your only chance to dress up as whatever you want and get away with it. For me this year I kept it simple with my trusty witch hat and sparkly purple cape. We usually throw a big Halloween Party but we decided to take a break this year. Perhaps if the stars align we will resurrect it for next year! Here are a few pictures of the house this year. We got a lot of comments on how great it looked and some people even took pictures! Of course we always have the fog machine going and spooky music play loud enough that you can hear it on the street. One of our neighbors really gets into it as well so we always have a lot of fun!

Jack Frost is nipping at our nose!

Doesn't he know that Ichabod Crane and the Pilgrims need to come first! It never works that way here in Park City. Anyway, here are some pictures from our yard this morning with the beautiful snow. A little snow always makes me want to curl up in front of the fire with Tyler and watch a good moving!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 4 year Anniversary and we couldn't be happier! We have been so blessed to have such a wonderful relationship and close friendship. We share so many passions in life that have made the past 4 years so much fun and we're looking forward to an exciting future together!

Joe's Valley

Finally, Tyler got a break from school! Last week Tyler had 5 tests in 3 days, so thankfully the school gave them Friday off and I wasn't about to let us sit around doing nothing! So in an effort to find a great camping venue I actually got us a trip to Joe's Valley to help gather the herd from the mountains and bring them down to the pasture!

Tyler's cousins happen to be a couple of guys I went to school with up at USU so its fun to get us all together and it was very nice for them to let us tag along. I was actually surprised to see that Tyler can handle a horse pretty well. You'd think you know everything about someone after 5 years, but the excitement never ends with Tyler!

So I got a little crazy with the scenery shots, I don't think we could have picked a better weekend to be down there with the leaves, it was just amazing! But I didn't get any photos of us riding the horses and herding the cattle because I was too afraid the camera would get damaged on the ride. Hopefully, this won't be our last trip down there to help, Tyler would be down there next weekend if he could! Anyway we couldn't have asked for a better weekend! Thank you Jonathan and family for letting us come down!

Jocie's 2nd Birthday!

It's about time we post some pictures of our cute little niece Jocie, this is Jeannette's little girl, so here she is at her Birthday Party!

The White Coat Ceremony

Today Tyler was presented with his first White Coat and as I sit here and reflect upon our journey to this point... I am moved. Tyler has really had to work hard to get here. As a pre-med student he pulled the grades and passed the tests, volunteered in the community by serving the homeless youth, the uninsured, and assault victims. He spent hours looking over the shoulder of practicing Physicians during reconstruction surgeries and pediatric check-ups, and worked with cardiac rehab patients in the hospital. But the amazing thing about Tyler is that even after being turned down twice he never lost sight of his dream! His passion for medicine grew stronger and stronger over the years and no matter how high the bar was raised he was going to reach it. Tyler has a great passion for life and yes it comes out in every aspect from the iphone, to training for triathlons, and of course his deep desire to be a physician. Tyler, I’m so proud of you! You have truly earned this great privilege and I know your passion will continue to drive you to achieve your goals. I love you so much and I’m so thankful to be with you!

Mom's Birthday Weekend!
