Easter & Learning to Walk 2012

I love filling Dad's shoes!
Not sure if this little puppy is making me laugh or cry!

Easter Bunny came!
Just taking a walk with my Dad!

And now with Grandpa Clegg!

I adore yogurt if you can't tell.
And hiding in inconspicuous places.

First Road Trip to California - March 2012

This was officially Bridger's first long distance road trip. We had done shorter trips to go camping and St. George, but this was officially 26 hours in the car. Bridger enjoyed every minute of his time with cousins, although I wouldn't say he loved every minute of the car ride. Before we left, sneaky Bridger nabbed some cookies at 7am! Makes for a fine breakfast eh!










On our trip to California, we stopped in Las Vegas. We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Clegg, and visited Sherlene and her family.

 Cousin Emily, Nicole, Conner and Trevor.
















Trevor really loved Baby Bridger.
The whole family, Emily, Conner, Mom, Bridger, Aunt Sherlene, Trevor, and Nicole.
At Grandma and Grandpa Clegg's house.
 Once we arrived in California, heading straight to the water.
 


 Newport Beach with Dad.
 This is the rooftop of the little quaint Inn we stayed at that. The staff found Mom's wedding ring when it had fallen in the bathroom trash can.

Lennox, Bridger, and Axel. I love my cousins!
And just lucky enough to see Elyse Peterson again!

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!

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.
 Bye Bye Tree on the Left, and notice the blown fence.

 Man down, more fence lost.

 Poor door

 More fence down


 Neighbors not so small trees

 That basketball hoop didn't have a chance

Where's the road after that tree fell?

 Uprooted.
