Utah Arts Festival Race

Every summer, our families participate and support the Utah Arts Festival and 5k Race. This was my first race since having Izzy. It was a great morning to run and everyone finished with really good times. My dad even took 2nd place in his age category! It's a great event and we always have a lot of fun running the race and seeing all of the creative artwork. www.uaf.org

More Father's Day

Just a few more shots from a great Father's Day with our families.

A Father's Day Workout

If he could, Devan would buy Izzy a little miniature bodybug in a heartbeat. Instead, she offered moral support and even did a few exercises of her own while dad worked out on Father's Day weekend. We had the entire gym to ourselves (who else would work out on a Saturday night) so we took advantage of some photo ops!

Devan's First Father's Day

We had an amazing time at Stein Eriksen lodge for Devan's first Father's Day! It was a relaxing and quiet weekend in the mountains. We were able to rest, watch movies, swim, and eat lots of junk food. The lodge offers a scrumptious brunch Sunday morning and the rainy weather cleared up just in time for pictures. Izzy was also great for this first family getaway. She will be an expert traveler some day.

A Father's Day Run

For Devan's first Father's Day, we stayed the weekend at the fabulous Stein Eriksen lodge in Deer Valley. On Saturday morning, we decided to go for a mountain run- even through it was sprinkling a little bit. By the time we finished our 4 miles- it was POURING rain! Luckily, Izzy was warm and cozy in the jogger with the rain flap. However, Devan and I were soaked. Even though we were wet, we had an amazing time and the views were incredible. There was also a 184 mile relay race going on at the same time so we ran with several of the runners as they finished that particular leg of the course. The run was probably the most memorable- and fun- part of the entire weekend. We loved it!

Tractor Devan

Who would believe that our finance-guru Devan could also drive a tractor! Well, here's proof! Devan has done so much work in our back yard. Eventually, we'll have a playground, garden, grass and flower beds in the second half of the property. Izzy and I are SO excited!

Izzy's Baptism Slideshow

We have so many memories from this day that we tried to share as many as we could!

Izzy's Baptism

Izzy's baptism was on May 31, 2009. Many of our family and friends shared this special day with us. One of Devan's high school teachers from Judge, Fr. McHugh, performed the ceremony at St. John the Baptist Church. Izzy slept for most of the mass but made sure to stretch her arms all the way above her head when she was introduced in front of the entire congregation. She only cried a little when they poured the water on her head. It was a wonderful day for us.

Memorial Day

Izzy sports her patriotic wardrobe on Memorial Day!

We remember and honor our family and friends who are no longer with us on this day, especially:

Our cousin, Tony Valerio
Grandpa Price
Grandpa Tetzloff
Grandma and Grandpa Garcia
Grandma Christensen
Aunt Kathy Neuman
Uncle David Price
Uncle Ronnie Tischner
Uncle Carlos Garcia

Our little angel...



















Our little angel???

It's Official

So, it's official- after about 5 weeks, Izzy started growing out of her newborn clothes and is wearing size 0-3 months. It's fun to put her in the new outfits that I have been staring at in her closet but it is a little crazy how fast she is growing. I could keep her this small forever- except for the sleepless nights! This picture shows one of her pj's that will be retired with the rest of her newborn wardrobe. I don't think she could even straighten her legs when I took it. It's amazing how fast time has already gone by!

My First Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was one of my favorite days this year. Devan, Izzy and I went for a run in the morning and then had brunch at the Grand America. It was wonderful spending this time with my new little family.
