Lots of Rocks!

Yesterday we golfed at the Legends golf course. It was another very cool course. Afterwards we looked at houses in a development on a private golf course called Entrada. The houses were very nice. It really made me want to retire in style. All it takes is money. After that we came back to the condo and relaxed in the sun. Ahhhhhh.

Today we went to Zion National Park. The rocks were huge!

This is a picture of two rock climbers. It takes them 2 days to climb this rock. Nuts!

Here I am in front of a big rock.

After Zion we decided to drive on to Bryce Canyon. It was very cool. Actually it was really cold. It started snowing while we were there.Brrrrr! All the unusual formations are created by water flowing, freezing, depositing silt and mud, and eroding.

These weird shapes are called Hoodoos.

That's all for today. Tomorrow we are golfing again. After that, who knows.

Golf at Sand Hollow in Utah

Today Kevin and I golfed at Sand Hollow just outside of St. George, Utah. It is a new golf course that has some beautiful holes. These pictures in the blog don't do the scenery justice. Sometimes if you click on the picture it will blow it up so you can see the details better. This first picture shows the golf course among the red rocks.

This is a picture of Kevin teeing off. This hole had steep scary cliffs off the left side.

This is one of the ten million little critters that jot in and out of the holes in the rocks. It is a chipmunk I think.

If your ball goes left, don't go after it on this hole.

I had to climb up this hill to retrieve Kevin's naughty ball.

These are some more cool rocks.

Here I am putting on one of the beautiful greens.

This is Kevin getting out of the sand. The bunkers were all filled with this dark rust colored powdery sand.

These are some of the layered rocks, and Kevin.

This is to show how nice the fairways were.

Today golf was much less windy than it was at Wolf Creek. It warmed up a bit more too.

After we finished golf we saw a sign to a pecan farm so we went and bought a big bag of shelled pecans. They are yummy. This is a picture of a pecan tree.

Vacation in Nevada and Utah

Kevin and I are vacationing in Nevada and Utah. We started in Las Vegas for one night. We stayed a the Wynn Hotel. It was beautiful. This first picture is of the lobby. The most notable thing about this hotel was that it smelled good. Every other place stank like smoke and yuck.

The lobby at the Wynn in Las Vegas

Kevin figuring out the curtain switch.

This is the awesome view from the bed.

This is the gorgeous sunrise view from our bed.

Saturday we left Las Vegas and went to Mesquite to golf at Wolf Creek. It was a spectacular course. This is a par 3. The photo is taken from the men's tee box looking down at the green wayyyyy down there.

Here I am swinging away.

This is an amazing view of the golf course sprinkled in among the rocks.

Kimberly's Grand Opening

Today was Kimberly's Grand Opening at the new Hooters.

Kim has been working day and night at the new store getting it ready for the Grand Opening today. Kevin and I invited a bunch of our Boeing coworkers to go to her new restaurant, which is very close to our offices, for a VIP lunch. We had a great time and Kimberly did a great job.

This is Kimberly giving her speech. She was awesome!

I was trying to get a shot of the line up of Hooter girls but got the old gal in front of me instead.

This is Kevin excited to get a look at his souvenir Hooter girl magazine. I couldn't believe he got autographs from some of the girls.

I will be glad when Kim can relax.

Jordan's 7th Birthday Party

Last weekend Kimberly gave Jordan a great birthday spa/slumber party. She had six little girl friends over to have cake and pizza and then manicures, pedicures, and makeup.

Jordan was thrilled with the picture her cousin Jacob drew for her.

Grandma and Grandpa gave her a super cool motorized scooter. She took to it like a fish in water. She just hopped on and flew down the road with a stream of little girls chasing her.

Torrin was too young to ride alone so Ashley took her for a spin.

This was the first stop in the spa. Foot bathes for each girl.

Then they moved to the next stop for a pedicure with Grandma.

Followed by manicures with Mommy.
Here is Jordan at the makeup stop with Ashley.

The night ended with a slumber party for all the girls.

The Circus

Today Kevin took the girls and I to the Circus! It was not only the girls first circus but mine. We had a great time. We saw flying girls and marching elephant. There were tigers and clowns and well trained dogs. Here are some high lights.

It seemed like a good idea at the time but the humungous lemonades that Kevin bought required 4 separate trips to the bathroom.

The Elephants were definitely a favorite of the girls.

Ladies were shot from cannons. Very cool.

The high wire act was amazing.

Here are the girls having a blast with Papa.

Jordan's 1st day of 1st Grade

Today was Jordan's first day of 1st grade at a new school. Jan and I went to see her off to school with Kimberly, Torrin, Kevin Best, and Trent.

Jordan was a fashion diva with her "uhg" boots, jean skirt and fancy top.

Jordan was prepared for any circumstance with bandaids....

and her backpackbuddy.

Kimberly adjusted the straps on the new purple backpack while Jan watched with riveted facination.

Torrin was pretty excited for her sister to go off to school.

The bus finally arrived and Jordan bravely boarded and went off for her first fantastic day at school.
