Black Hawk Time

Aunt Mandy was in town last week. She went to campus to visit the ROTC,

her old stomping ground. After telling everyone what she does

now, fly black hawk helicopters, they invited her to watch

the helicopters land by the Hyper Building.

She thought it would be fun to take Parker, so she picked him up from school.

Confusing everyone at school, because it looked like mom, but wasn't

Parker's mom. Anyway here are some of the photos of Parker

Climbing all over the helicopter. He loved it, and continued asking

the pilot if he could go for a ride in it.

BUSINESS WEEK 2010

Monday night we put on a charity concert.

Kalai came and put on a sensational

acoustic set. The concert was free,

Texas Road House sponsored

$1 pulled pork sandwiches. We had over

1500 people show up to old main hill.

Raising $2,500 on Monday night alone.

Tuesday night we had our first annual

"Last Dash Relay"

It was 10 mile relay race. You could run

it as a team of two or solo. So I grabbed all of my favorite

running buddies, and we decided to run the whole thing

solo. It would be great training for San Fransisco.

I was also lucky lucky to have

my sister in town for this event!

Starting from the left, Megan Kenney, Miranda Gahn,

Kelly Olsen, Me, Kari Soderquist.

We had an awesome turn out for the first year.

We raised over $2,000 with this event!

It was such a fun challenge

and a great introduction

to things I want to do in my career.

This last week was business week for

The Huntsman School of Business.

I am now an intern for our director of marketing.

He is the sole reason we were able to

do what we did with business week this year.

Since I was his intern, I worked very

hard to help business week come alive, and overall we

succeeded amazingly.

Not only did we put on a week full of outstanding

events, we raised over $9,000 for the

Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Here are some photos from the week!!!

Thanks to everyone who helped me

during this week! My friends and family were an

amazing support and I could not have been involved with

something so amazing, had everyone not supported me!

Nana's Night

Parker spent Tuesday with his Nana and Papa. They took him to buy

New shoes! He was so excited. He picked out these

high top converse all on his own. He thinks he needs

to sleep in them now.

After buying the shoes it was time to ride all the cars

and toys in the mall.

He's such a ham!

After dinner and shoe shopping

it was time to play outside. He has now discovered tree climbing,

which is easier with his new shoes.

He got them very dirty and became quite concerned

with all the scuff's. Papa made sure to wipe them

down with a clorox wipe. Now Parker

asks for a wipe for his shoes every

time he comes inside.

Cookie Cutter

Parker was so excited to get his hair cut.

He went to this salon, Cookie Cutters the week before,

but they didn't have an appointment.

He was so disappointed, I promised we would go back.

He got to pick the car he sat in, the movie to watch, and a balloon

when he was all finished. Plus the whole thing was $10.

Missing NYC

This summer I was given the opportunity to travel with the Huntsman School of Business.

One of the trips was to New York. A city I've dreamt of seeing for years.

We went there to meet with professionals in the finance industry and met with

13 different companies in 3 days. This picture was taken from the top floor of the second most expensive building in Manhattan, which is occupied by MacKay Shields a division of New York Life. It obviously over looks Central Park, which was an amazing view in person.

I was just viewing my photos from this trip and longing for another one.

Hopefully I'll get back to New York soon.

School Mornings

Morning alarms are back in use and neither of these two are happy about it.

They made it from the bed to the couch

Just in time for cartoons

To My Little Dog

Cassie: October 1996- July 2010

Cassie was my little dog.....

I just had to have her, no other little dog would do....
I was 13, and wanted to give her all the love in the world...

When we brought her home, she could fit into the palm of my hands...

She was sweet and spunky and everything I could have asked for...

Sometimes I wasn't always good to her, so I am thank full my mother was....

I took for granted, and she will be forever missed....

She wasn't the smartest or the fastest, but I loved her non the less.....

Cassie you will be missed...

Catching Up

It has been six months since my last post. So here is to catching up on the family journal.

Our lives have been pretty crazy recently.

I finished spring semester, which almost killed me. I took 7 classes (3 more than full time). So glad I did it, I will now graduate next spring!!!!!!

Billy turned 33, but is going on about 22. Any progress is good progress right! He also recently started a new job!!!! Working for C.F.M. Which has been amazing!

(Thanks Britton)

Parker is of course going a million miles an hour. He has grown so close with his friends lately he asks for them daily. He has been skateboarding and swimming as much as possible.

He also has a new pet, Patrick (the hamster). Thank you Megan we love him.

So for Billy's birthday and my spring break we headed to Vegas! We went with some of our best friends Kollin and Ashley. The trip was so much fun, but we had a rough start. First we got a speeding ticket, which was a given. Next just outside of St. George, our transmission pan broke. So two hours of making phone calls, and googling on our trusted black berry's we were towed and on our way. It was a nice little break from reality. So here are some of the photos.

" I'm Four"

Parker had his 4th birthday party! He was so excited about all of it, he couldn't even stand it. He continued to think it was his birthday the rest of the week. We had to convince him all of the presents under the tree were for Christmas and not his birthday.

Thanks to everyone who came and supported him.

He made out like a bandit

with all of those gifts.
