  • Utah trip – January 6th

    We spent the morning of the 6th packing up, then flew home. Our flight from Utah left around 2:00.  We ate lunch before we went to the airport, but needed to pick up dinner in Houston.  Since we didn’t have much of a layover, we grabbed Subway sandwiches on the way to our connection.  We…

  • Utah trip – January 5th

    We took things easy on the 5th.  Just before lunch I took Toren to REI to look at backpacks (for an upcoming trip) and Debi went shopping with her Mom.  At REI, Toren saw a display model of his backpack and wanted to get in it, so I let him and carried him around while…

  • Utah trip – January 4th

    We had also talked about going skiing/snowboarding while out there with Debi’s brother-in-law, Brent, who is currently waiting for training for a new plane at Delta, which means he gets to go skiing a lot.  I ended up going with him on the 4th.  I had to rent a snowboard, and it had been almost…

  • Utah trip – January 3rd

    I spent a large portion of the day trying to get my mother’s new computer working and organized.  We then went to another high school friend’s (Brad Anderson) for dinner.  His kids were also great with Toren and we also had a great time.

  • Utah Trip – January 1st

    I had talked about going snowmobiling with my brother Danny before heading out to Utah but we hadn’t finalized plans.  Even so, it did work out and he took me up to Monte Cristo early on Saturday where we went snowmobiling for about 3 hours on Danny’s amazing snowmobiles.  He has two: a Ski-Doo 1000 and…

  • Utah trip – December 31st

    This was our 11th wedding anniversary. We had considered doing various things, but eventually decided to take it easy. We did go to lunch with my Mom, Dad, and brother Troy at the Olive Garden to celebrate our anniversary. We then saw my Dad’s new office. Back at my parents, I made some toffee and…

  • Utah Trip – December 30th

    I managed to schedule a HALO party on Debi’s birthday (my bad), but Debi was a good sport about it.  Her parents took her to one of her favorite restaurants for lunch – Marie Calendars – then we drove up to Morgan for the HALO party.  The party didn’t start until 6:30, so we did…

  • Utah Trip – December 29th

    We were supposed to go up to Ogden to meet with some of my childhood friends, but a massive afternoon snow storm that dumped about 10 inches of snow on West Jordan postponed that trip.  Instead I spent the day working on Rosemary’s computer and otherwise not getting much done. As far as Rosemary’s computer…

  • Utah Trip – December 28th

    I don’t remember what we did on the 28th.  I think I spent part of the day working on Rosemary’s computer and Debi went shopping.  But here’s a video of Toren riding the horse in the basement: He really got into it!

  • Utah Trip – December 27th

    We got off to a slow start on the 27th – our sleep schedule was off most of the time we were in Utah, and Toren’s was all over the place.  But in the afternoon we went to America’s Incredible Pizza Company, which is basically like Chuck-E-Cheese on steroids.  Toren spent half the afternoon on the…
