Update...Here we go!

 I have fallen a bit behind and will try to give the update in a concise manner.  Needless to say I have been a bit busy going here there and almost everywhere.... My mom joked when I was in Arizona visiting that she wanted to use double stick tape to "stick me to the chair so I would be in one place for a bit"... I think we need stronger tape :)
After the summer I had a long list of things I wanted to get done....First of all I wanted to celebrate my birthday and what better way than having one of my best friends Jamie in town! I loved playing "host" and doing "utah" things I have never done myself.  Here are a few things we did while she was in town. 

*Temple Square    
*Park City, rode Main street Trolley and had an amazing lunch *Boating with the Family
 


*Ziplining in the canyon and a big family dinner at Lajolla Groves.


I hiked Mount Timpanogos with Jacob and a few friends, the hike was a lot of fun about 5 hours to get up and about 3 1/2 to get down.  I was able to get some great pictures... but on the way down I sprained my ankle which didn't make the rest of the 3 hours down the mountain very much fun.



A glacier we came across... we kind of made a detour off the path but eventually found our way back.






I went to Arizona to celebrate Thanksgiving with my parents and Grandparents.   It was so nice to enjoy the sunshine and golf a bit.  I am learning how to golf, and spent most of the time taking pictures.  




Thanksgiving was a lot of fun, we went to my Grandpa and Sue's house and had a wonderful meal.  I love any chance I get to spend time with the family and of course a good food!
                   Our dessert, Turkeys I made with a few candies :) and of course Pumpkin Pie
