April '09

April was chock full 'o fun. Below are highlights in no particular order.

Jerry & Yvonne Brown's 50th Wedding Anniversary
We stayed in a free suite at the Palazzo in Vegas and felt fancy. I love the note Ashley left for us...


The gift basket wasn't as great as I had hoped.







SFF
First farm share week. I now love kohlrabi, chard and sunchoke...kale still sucks.




Bachelorette Party
It was so awesome...the next day was not.

March '09

I was surprised to see this gem in Spanish Fork

February '09

I only remember two things that happened in February.

Super Bowl XLIII
Niki and I made a killer 7 layer dip for our Super Bowl party. The oil we used to cook hot wings caught fire three times. Thankfully we had an extra pot and were able to cook all 5 dozen.



Dustin's Cabin
A few of us went up to Dustin's family cabin near Smith & Morehouse for a night. You have to take a snowmobile or CAT/ATV up which is usually pretty fun, but on this particular occasion the ATV and one snowmobile broke down on the way up. Other than that our night and the following day were awesome. The weather was beautiful and a great change from the inversion we get in SLC during the winter. On the way home we stopped at the Road Island Diner in Oakley. Swing by if you are ever in the area.

January '09

January is a terribly busy month for us, hence the lack of photographs. We both work for Atmosphere Studios and for some reason the majority of our clients attend a trade show or two in January. It really kills the both of us, but we get by.

Ryan is in charge of setting up the 3,500 sq ft Keen exhibit at Outdoor Retailer and a shoe show in Vegas. I'm so glad I don't have his job.



I love his "Beard Removal" series

December '08

Things we did in December:



1. Rented a bitchin' Mustang in LA when I went to look for a place to get married. I wish everyone could have seen how Susan had to contort her body to fit in the back seat. The car made my Mom claustrophobic...what a sweet ride.



2. Ryan channeled James Dean at my little brother's Christmas concert.



3. We loved the Dr. McGillicuddy's mentholmint schnapps at the Hansen's fabulous Christmas party.



4. Grandpa Billy got the Christmas eve party rolling with the traditional tin-foil hat.



5. Ryan and I wanted to get a kick-ass TV, so we applied for a Costco credit card. I told him it might not make it before Christmas and intercepted the card in the mail. Bought the TV during my lunch break and Niki and Adam wrapped it that night. He was so surprised...the TV is SO awesome.



6. Forgot to buy caps for the gun.



7. Insert something witty here.



8. The tree looked great even though it was dead within the 1st week.



9. Ryan did such a good job hanging the lights. I was sad to see them go.
