PineWood Derby Halloween Party

Elise made a "Prada" car and added a cell phone for weight... She won for design, I think?  Jacob won for speed and used Dad's old pinewood car...  

FALL 2008 in Park City

Park City in the fall is breathtaking... we try to enjoy the season there every year.  We took the kids portraits on this trip.  Jacob's 7th year portrait (only 4 months late!) and Elise's 17th. Sidenote:  Jacob's tooth finally grew in since this picture, we though it was missing for awhile!   I could just kiss those little checks all day!

FALL 2008

First Day of Second Grade for Jacob (sniff, sniff) My baby is not a baby anymore.  Fall also brought the loss of Lynn's dad.  He is greatly missed.  It was a beautiful funeral.  All the boys spoke, Cindy sang and grandkids added musical numbers which were so nice.   It was truly a reunion seeing and visiting with old friends from our Rohnert Park Ca. wards. Everyone paid tribute to Lynn's dad, it was a great day.  The funeral was October 3rd, Elise's birthday and will always be a special reminder for her.  We took her out for a birthday dinner later that night!  At the gravesite Betty showed us burial sites from family that had come from Denmark and settled in Utah.

LAS VEGAS

We had a fun time flying in from San Francisco and meeting up with the kids and my parents for Sara's wedding in Las Vegas.  It's always a treat to be with extended family!!  The dads had swimming contests at Aunt Janet's.  It was a beautiful wedding and reception! Our families like to dance as you can tell, Jacob is sporting 1/2 of Sara's wedding garter in his pocket that he and cousin Caden caught together and wrestled to the ground with.  Luckily, someone thought to cut it in half- problem solved!  

SAN FRANCISCO TRIP

Lynn and I spent a week in San Francisco for business.  He worked, I shopped!  We stayed downtown at Union Square and loved being back where we had dated and courted so much before we were married. We walked everywhere, even to Pier 39, got lost in Chinatown, ate a ton of seafood and visited our favorite places.

SUMMER 2008

PARK CITY

We had an amazing get away to a fantastic cabin in Park City (that we never ever ever wanted to come home from) with the Wiser family... so fun!!  Below is Jacob representing with a big meal at FiveGuys and pictured with a giant hershey bar for catching a pop fly on his baseball team.
