Nursery

Hazen hates when I say that "we" have been working on the nursery. So I guess I will give him the credit and say that Hazen has done an excellent job getting the nursery ready. Painting stripes is quite the challenge. He also refinished the floors. What a great husband! Here is our nursery. Will have blues and greens to accent the brown.

Thanksgiving Road Trip

The four of us (Hazen, Me, Lucy and Baby) headed out the day before Thanksgiving. We had a quick, but very nice dinner with some friends just outside Salt Lake City. Thursday morning we went south to St. George. Nice 70 degree weather for a couple days to warm us up. The state parks allow dogs on trails but the national parks don't, so we were slightly limited on where we could take Lucy. We ended up going to a remote part of the Grand Canyon that not many people travel to. Drove about 75 miles on a gravel/dirt road which was not quite what we were expecting. The view was amazing though once we got there. I have never been there and Hazen was there when he was young. Didn't really want to leave because we had to get back on the gravel road for hours. We did a loop back up through Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks and back to Salt Lake on Saturday. The parks were beautiful. Huge red cliffs and wierd terrain. The elevation at Bryce Canyon was pretty high, so we did get a little snow there. Tried to make it all the way back to Boise Saturday but couldn't do it. It was a long time in the car (and more bathroom breaks than Hazen would have liked) but we had a great time.
