So much to love

I love this day! Today is the day my best friend came into the world. And it's the first time EVER that I haven't been able to give her a hug and tell her Happy Birthday in person. So, Brita, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I'm giving you a blog hug. I guess you could call it a blug.

Here are a few things I love about Brita.


Brita is a true blue Cougar. She often stalks BYU basketball and football players through the bookstore... if they only knew.



Brita is a doll! In case you haven't noticed, Brita is incredibly cute. I have to restrain myself from squeezing her every time I see her.


Brita is hilarious! Of the five times I've almost wet my pants laughing, probably four of those have involved Brita. Just a couple weeks ago she told me a story on the phone that made me laugh so hard I was crying. And not only is she funny, she's witty and clever and has a great, hearty laugh that makes me happy inside.



This girl can play some ball. The funnest class I ever took at BYU was a volleyball class with Brita. She's got a mean set of setting hands.. and I've been the recipient of many of her killer serves. Not only can she play, she can lead and inspire. She makes other's want to be better.



Brita loves to travel... and dress like an Indian. She knows so much about the world. I am always impressed with her knowledge. It seems endless. We've been lots of places together. We've even walked down a corner in Winslow, Arizona.




Brita + camera = amazing! She captures things so perfectly. I am reminded how beautiful this world is and how blessed we are to live in it when I look at Brita's pictures.



Brita writes the most beautiful letters and gives the most thoughtful gifts. She's artsy and creative. Sometimes I think her letters are straight out of a Jane Austen novel. Going to an art museum with Brita is fantastic. I have one classy and sophosticated sister.


Sometimes Brita likes to pretend there is a fork sticking out of her eye. Some of you probably didn't know this about her, but I did.


Everytime I walk by a Bath and Body Works I think of Brita. She loves good smelling stuff and we're always on the hunt for good deals.


Brita is loveable. Her sweet disposition makes it easy for her to make friends. She is a very kind and generous and always finding ways to lift up those around her.



Brita has the most beautiful smile and gorgeous eyes. And that's that. She's probably one of the most photogenic people I know. Brita, you are beautiful!






Brita is so fun to be around. I miss her dearly. I often crave my Brita time, becuase there truly is no replacement.


Most of all, I love my sister because she's my sister and I love who she is and who she's become. Happy Birthday dear sister! I love you!

Mountain Lion!







I came upon these tracks as I was running Saturday morning. They were on Sawmill road near the cattle guard. I went back and took pictures. Bill and I looked up lion prints on the internet and they were a perfect match. Yikes!!!!!

Oh Iowa


Here are a few pictures from the exciting weather we've been experiencing in Iowa. The first couple are from the ice storm we had a couple weeks ago and the last ones are from earlier this week. We got a couple inches of snow on the first day of February.





It's hard to see, but there is an eagle in that tree. They always hang out around the river, because it doesn't freeze over. It's pretty much like national geographic every day here. Here is an eagle looking for a fish.


Dave commands the geese. BTW, I thought geese flew south for the winter. Well, it's definately winter and Iowa is definately not south. If I were them, I wouldn't stick around this frigid place!

I love the dendritic symetry of nature.

A rare fog scrouding Lund's famous landmark.

Our temporary stalactites.





Oh, how we long for summer, but Oh, how winter can bring unique beauty of its own.

The desert surrounding St. George was blaketed with a beautiful

scroud of snow the night before the race.

Fire and Ice *** The little cinder cone in Snow Canyon.

I've never seen it with snow before.


Tired, sore, and freezing, but happy as can be with

a good hard 13.1 miles. Lisa in at 2:09, Bill at 1:38




Lisa is focused and oblivious of her #1 fan and

photographer as she nears the finish.


The day before the race we attended the St. George

Temple and did the temple work for Lisa's great-great

grandparents. We stayed with Henry and Mary Mendoza,

and were also able to see Aunt Eve, and Denny and

Marsha Fuhriman.

Pryor was a little too much for the Ducks


Heck of a father and son outing.

Okay, let's try this again.
