FLYING THROUGH THE SKY !!!!

he following videos show Mom and I flying through the Redwoods on the Zip Lines we went to the other day. It was a Christmas gift from a few of our children. We had a blast!

HIGH FLYING !!!

We received a Christmas gift from some of our kids to try a new Zip Line in Sonoma County. We had an awesome time......8 zip lines total.........the longest being 800 feet. The highest point was 200 ft. off the ground. After the 8 zip lines, we repelled down about 80 feet. Some of the pictures are below, but we will try and add some more video later. Thanks kids, we had a great time.

Mom and I went, along with Landon, Dustin, and Moriah.

Here we are all geared up.

This was the 800 ft. line.........you cannot even see the end.

There were some sky bridges that took us from one platform to another. And a spiral staircase that took us the above bridge.

Here is Dad repelling down.

Great day.........and we are going to try and get the rest of you to try it when you are here.

After the zip lines, we were hungry and went to this old Hotel for lunch. This was our free brochette, in addition we had yummy pizza and bread.

I guess the stress and scariness of being 200 ft. in the air and zip lining across the Redwoods was too tiring for the kids. Mom and I got a kick out of this picture.........that are all out of it.



This was Dustin coming into one of the platforms.

My Birthday 2011

I guess at some point we are just celebrating still being alive...but this has been a good year with Dustin getting married and four new babies.

My delicious cake with just the right amount of candles.

My loyal birthday fans.

The first pizza I made on my new pizza stone!
It has three sections: cheese, mushrooms and olives for me, cheese, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and olives for Dad and cheese and pepperoni for Landon!

Yummy!

Dance Festival

Hey Everyone! Landon participated in Dance Festival this year with the stake. He did an awesome job and knew all the steps. We recorded videos but instead combined the videos into one short clip. Enjoy!

Blind Volleyball

Here is a short clip of what Landon and I have been doing a lot these days. It is a new game we came up with that we play over the fence. We have boundaries and you can only hit it twice (instead of the normal three). Its tons of fun.

We recorded 30 minutes on the Flip and then used a small program they have that basically sums the video and chooses its own highlights. So we didn't choose these highlights but it still works.

Dadders the Golfer

I was playing with my Flip and put this together really quick. Thanks for the gift Mommers and Dadders! Heres a little tribute to Dad's golfing abilities.

Dust

Landon Volleyball

We have had a fun time watching Landon play volleyball on Northgate's JV team. He played almost every minute of every game and was definetely one of the best out there. He played setter.

Here are a couple videos of him playing!

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.

This is the woman I love and married...........always trying to fix her hair.

MOM AND KALEY AND DENAE ALWAYS SMILING.

CATS !!!

We love Broadway musicals !!!
Devin and Kim were here on vacation and so was the musical CATS.

It's nice to live by San Francisco .........
.......for a very few reasons. Musicals would be one of them.

Chinese Food Out -- Chef Chou

Wyatt loves Chinese food.

Yummy !! We will go back again.

Maybe a missionary to China.

We loved it !!!!

Oakland Zoo

We spent a day at the zoo with Wyatt...oh Devin and Kim too!

That's a happy smile!

They had the biggest tortoises we'd ever seen and they were moving around too, but the only pictures of tortoises we got were these two.

This alligator seriously loved me. He got into the water and swam right up to my hand...we were only separated by a wire mesh fence and about an inch....I think he liked the vanilla hand lotion I had on. He swam away and then came right back. I felt like the crocodile hunter.

It is always fun to go to the zoo with Landon. He loves the animals and know alot about them...

Lexi's Dance show = Fentons

We all had a great time at Lexi's Dance show again this year...we really look forward to it because it is so fun to see her dance...and because we always go to Fentons afterwards!

Wowzers that is quite the dance makeup!

Swiss Milk Chocolate and Cold Carmel ...it's da best!

Wyatt working his way to the last drop!
