Joe's Valley Revisited

We saw that Joe's Valley was full, so we decided to go have a picnic for Family Home Evening.

The reservoir was full.

Lots of water going down the spillway.

Birthday Time!

Jorgen turned 6 today! We can't believe it. Yesterday we went to Cars 2 and had lots of fun up in Provo. Today we had his cake and opened presents. Happy Birthday bud.

Our version of the Angry Birds cake

SLC Conference

This past week, Luci had a conference up in Salt Lake for two days, so I had the boys. Of course we did the down town stuff.

We went to Temple Square.

We went to the roof of the Conference Center.

They really didn't want their pictures taken.

We had never been to the gateway fountains. My boys loved them, however they did not want to get wet, so they didn't join in the fun. They just wanted to watch. Next time I will get them to go in and get wet. I might have to bring swimsuits, but that's ok.

Golfing at Millsite

Tonight, my brother-in-law went golfing at Millsite. The water is going over the spillway, so it was a beautiful sight.

Joe's Valley

Yesterday we took a drive up to Joe's Valley Reservoir to see how high it was.


This is one of the rivers running into it.

With any trip to the water, we must throw rocks into the water.



The water wasn't quite up to the spillway, about 10-15 feet away, but it is expected to do so here in the next week or two.

Memorial Day Week

It's almost a tradition, but not quite (we don't do it every year, but almost), after school ends on the Friday before Memorial Day we head to Colorado. So that's what we did. We got to Ft. Collins at about 9 pm and we were very tired. Both Luci and I had helped with the High School's graduation party and were out until 2, and then getting up at 6:30 to go to work. The week included some very fun activities. Some of us ran the Bolder Boulder.

Of course we all ran super well. Ok actually, my goal was to be the one millionth finisher in the history of the race. It didn't happen.

We also went to the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum.

The dinosaurs of course were their favorite!

Horsetooth Mountain was also awaiting us, so we hiked it. Not all of us made it to the top, but we had fun flexing our muscles anyways.

The Rockies played the St. Louis Cardinals in Denver, unfortunately it was not the Dodgers, but you can't be picky.

Luci had never been to Rocky Mountain National Park, so we went there as well. Trail ridge road was not open all the way due to snow, but we went as far as we could. We also stopped in Estes Park for some fun.

Along with that, we also did fun little things, movies, BBQ, Casa Bonita, etc. It was a fun trip and good to see the parents and Sara, who was visiting from Maine.
