getting ready for the BIG day!

Trying to play 'catchup'. Lots to do - tomorrow is Bobby B's b-day - the big one! Any suggestions on an awesome b-day cake OR gifts . . . for the guy who's got everything he needs? I'm getting really 'bad' at this gift-business these days.

  • Up super early for lessons - no one showed ! ! ! ! Bummer!
  • Planning "Fall Carnival" for over 100 people (in one week) Yikes!
  • Trying to plan a b-day party. Holy cow!
  • Went to two church meetings tonight and it's a . . . Thursday! What?
  • Haven't even thought C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S. yet! Where's my favorite cousin?
  • All this 'thinking' is making me tired! ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz!
More tomorrow.

Last Friday while Ash & Henry were napping and Cort was off to work, G-pa and I took Oli & R.O.B. up Provo canyon. We turned off on a road that took us to the top of the world and this is what we saw:


a perfect day to . . .

The road got narrow, turned a corner and it got narrower (such a word?) with a flurry of activity - the view was amazing:

This girl was getting suited up and ready to fly. Check close, her makeup is perfect, including lipstick!

I think I followed this dude the longest - his preparation was impeccable:

This dude in blue and gray helmet was from Germany, as well as the girl in the brown t-shirt. It seemed to be an international group - some from Japan as well:

Once they left the cliff, their glider would sink (somewhat) and then all of a sudden it would catch an air current and:

Up, Up they would sail hundreds of feet above our heads and they would continue to climb in a circular motion and gradually work their way to the very top - then they would run out of lift and would head their way down into the valley and eventually land. Oli and R.O.B. had a real treat this day, not to mention G-pa and I:

As far as xmas: I've got some things already, but not as far along as I had hoped, especially with the baby coming soon. I wanted to be finished. Dang it. Send me an email of anything you've thought of!!!!!

Wow...what beautiful pictures. To be able to fly like that would be awesome. Kenny has done this, but so far I haven't had the chance. Amazing!
