Oh well I'm growing, I'm growing, I'm finally 1! January 14, 2011

Bridgers 1st birthday called for a special type of celebration, and as Kermit would say "what could be better than a Green Frog?"

The cake and his tadpoles!

A rare photo with my Uncle Gavin!

Bridger's First Christmas 2011

Bridger's First Christmas was a sweet and special one, he was almost to his 1st Birthday, so ready to enjoy those gifts! By way of tradition Dad felt strongly he needed a large Bear, and a Tonka Truck just as he received as a small child. Bridger got both, and much more. But more than anything that Christmas we were grateful for the gift of our new little son Bridger. Here is some of the fun & anticipation...

Bridger felt more comfortable with Mrs. Clause than Santa himself!

WindSWEPT December 1, 2011

I grew up on the East coast. We have the occasional hurricane with fierce wind and rain, but never have I experienced the "Wind" component soley on its own. Sure, after living in NYC, I knew what it felt like to have the wind from the subway crates blow up your skirt, and experience a wind tunnel between buildings. But on December 1, 2011, Bountiful Utah I encountered a WIND storm that I'd never known the likes of. A wind storm that did some type of damage to almost every property in the area, including our fence, trees, and any other unsecured objects. Perhaps the most impressive item to turnover that I unfortunately I did not capture was a Concrete Bench. Yes, a concrete bench. I can't imagine the weight of that sucker, nor the force of wind needed to blow it over.

Many power lines went down all over the neighborhood and we went about 3-4 days with no power or heat. It got cold. The first night we used the fireplace and slept by it. The next 2 nights we stayed with the Giles family who had not lose power. Thank goodness for warmth. As if losing use of both my feet and legs for two months wasn't enough penance, we got to have this fun experience also.
