Still playing catch up... Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse

While on our drive to Michigan we decided to take the long route so we could stop at see Mt Rushmore. These areas of South Dakota are beautiful.

 A View of the progress being made on Crazy Horse.  When I saw this many years ago with my grandparents there little to no shape in the rock.  It is amazing how much progress they have made in those 15 years.

 A Nice family Shot.  The area has such a amazing spirit to it.  It is truly something everyone should see.

George Washingtons profile.  It suprises you as you are leaving.  Round the corner and there is President Washington saying goodbye.

The Dirty Dash

We love the Dirty Dash.  It was a lot of fun this year with some good friends and all my family there.  I, being a big nerd, forgot to take the plastic cover off my new camera on my phone so all the pictures I have are courtsey of friends and family. The Dirty Dash was bigger, muddier and a heck of a lot more fun! I hope we can make it for next years!

New Family Pictures

While I am at it, I thought I would share some new family pictures. Before we moved I had our amazing friend Allison do some family pictures for us again. I wanted something that screamed home. So we went to one of our favorite hiking trails in Trappers Loop. Enjoy

Its' been awhile

So I realize it has been over a year since I have updated this,... oops. Sorry. Life has been hectic. To sumarize, which most of you all ready know this, I have been in school all year, Jeff finished his master degree... (yea!, super proud of him) and trying to keep up with three high energy kids. Probably the most drastic change in our life has been our move to Michigan. We moved in October and followed Jeff to his new job at Terumo Heart, (good thing we love him). Things have been going well. He enjoys the job and the technology is cool. We have rented out our home in Layton and we are working on purchasing a house in a city called South Lyon in Michigan. It is a short sale so we have been waiting a while for it... Things are starting to pick up and it is looking like we will probably be in our new house the middle of February. So I am going to make a very good effort to keep this more updated, for our benefit, because we have forgotten so many cool things, and to keep in touch with everyone. Along the way I will get some things updated from last year that were missed.
