Snowboarding in our swim suits!

JK! Well kind of....

This Last weekend Nate and I went snowboarding with our friends Shannon and Matt at Brighton and because it was the last Saturday of the year you could buy tickets half off if you wore your swimming suit. So we did board in our swim suits.... just underneath our snow clothes.

It was the perfect day to end the year. At the base of the mountain it got to the mid 50's and SUNNY SUNNY SUNNY!

I was surprised at how many people we saw in just their swimming suit... Ya it was a warm day, but talk about wind chill, brr!

I do love snowboarding, but that's about it in the winter. I am so glad it's over!

And of course you know Nate... He's already taking his lunch breaks at Marine Products. Now that I think about it I think he is there right now getting a new wakeboard rope. Out with the snowboarding, in with the wakeboarding!

Sunday park adventure

This Sunday we went to the park with the Browns. It was such a great day! We took Dax and Sadie "the brownie and the licky" It was fun to fly a kite and throw the ball with the dogs. We love Herriman, and are lucky to live so close to family and friends.

It was fun to see how tired Dax and Sadie were after throwing the ball with them.

We even got some sun on those white legs!!!

The Blasted Radiator

So, it began... last week I started pulling out the radiator in the jeep. It took about 4 hours to pull and about an hour to replace. The problem was after the new part was in it still leaked... bummer, maybe I should have just had it done at the dealership. This isn't the first time that I have made this kind of a mistake, it later costing time or money. As is life, there is always something to learn. I found some comfort this past weekend listening to general conference. My favorite talk if I had one would have been the talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf in the priesthood session. He shared a story about a bulb, that was burnt out. The story goes on, and the message that I got from his talk was what matters most. I thought about that jeep, and what really matters most to me. I would say that Kristin matters most to me. I should focus more on her and her happiness, and our relationship. I love her more then life itself, and I haven't always been the type to make sure that she knows that she matters most to me.

Car's (not the movie)

Cars, they can bring joy... sadness, and cost lots of money. Last weekend our jeeps' radiator pooped out on us. We were going to spend a few hundred dollars on the basement and on our way to do that we noticed a big green puddle of antifreeze. OH NO!!! Car problems... so, that basement will have to wait... I'll get to replace that radiator... if anyone has done this before I'm open to tips... I just wanted to rant and rave about costly repairs... Cars are definitely not a good investment. They cost money to fill up with gas, they cost loads to insure, and then you have your maintenance... No fun... On the brighter side the radiator should last a long time.
