2011 in a Nutshell


He did it! He did it! He is all done with school! Yay! Now he just has take the Utah Bar in July and his life will be great (those are his words). I am so proud of him.


This is us right after the graduation.


If you haven't already heard our super exciting news, we are expecting!! I can never see what you are supposed to be seeing in ultrasound photos, so hopefully I picked two easy ones.


On my birthday we went and found out what we were having....we are having a little girl! We are very excited. The photo above shows her shoulder and arm and little hand, I think it is so cute.



Also for my birthday I got a new lense for my camera. Above is a picture I took at Temple Square on my birthday.  I need to start practicing so I am all ready for when the baby comes.


We took a trip to Oregon after busy season and stayed in Lincoln City, which is right on the beach. We had a relaxing trip with some fun hikes and lots of rain. One day we went and I made a glass float, basically a big glass ball with air inside. It was pretty neat to see the whole process.



These colors are really dark because the glass is so hot. 


This is Seth on the Drift Creek Falls hike. It was a good one, but not as good as the next one we did.


This is a view from our favorite hike, Cascade Head. It was so beautiful. The first part of the hike was through a rain forest and then you got up to the top of a mountain and had the most beautiful views. It was a gorgeous hike, but then it started raining so we ran most of the way down the trail.


We enjoyed our daily walks on the beach. Much different feel than California beaches. I always wore a jacket or coat to the beach.


Some of the staircases from people's homes to the beach were pretty intense. We only saw one person using the stairs to their home. They had to take a break halfway up their staircase.


These are the girls in Mom's old prom dresses. Melissa was thrilled to wear the one we picked out for her. I just love her face in this one, classic Melissa face.


While I was in St. George, Amanda was in town so we got together to catch up. It was fun to hear what everyone is up to. Crazy it has been 11 years since high school!


For a Young Women's activity we went hiking in Little Wild Horse Canyon and played around in Goblin Valley. It was fun and hot. I had never been there before, but Goblin Valley is quite interesting.
