Devan's MS 150 Ride

On June 26th, Devan rode 75 miles for the MS 150 bike ride in Logan, Utah. It was a great cause and I was so proud of him for riding so far. Izzy and I wore Goldman Sachs colors to cheer on the entire team. This is one of the largest rides in the country and we will definitely be supporting it again.

Alicia's Stonehenge

I recently had an amazing opportunity to travel to London with my company. I had no idea that Stonehenge was only 30 minutes from our office there. One of my colleagues was kind enough to take me one night- albeit by driving on the opposite side of the rode- but it was so incredible and mysterious. The stones are perfectly aligned to view both the summer and winter solstice sunsets through the rocks. The experts still aren't entirely sure how the people of 3500 years ago were able to move rocks of that size so many miles. The stones served as a temple that was added to for over 1000 years. I would highly recommend that everyone visit this place at least once in their life.

Our Hockey Girl

Izzy loves to cheer on Devan at his hockey games- she even has her own jersey! This was the last game of the season and Devan was the highest scorer in the league. Izzy was definitely his best cheerleader!

Mother's Day and Father's Day- Belated

I know it's a little late but I thought I would share some of my favorite pics from Mother's Day and Father's Day in 2010. Devan and I spent my day at the Grand America in May and then we visited both of our mom's. In June, we had a Father's Day brunch for Devan on our patio and then visited Devan's dad and brother. My dad was climbing Mt. Shasta so we had breakfast with him a week later. We had a great time at all of the events.

Bubbles

Izzy loves watching people blow bubbles and finally got to the point where she wanted to do it herself. I figured she was way too young to master the art of bubble blowing at a mere 14 months. But, I thought it wouldn't hurt to let her try. Well, she showed me! After about 10 minutes of practice, my little smarty pants actually started blowing her own bubbles! I posted a video of one of the first ones she actually did on her own. It was awesome.

Mud!

So- I turn away for 2 minutes- and I come back to Devan and Izzy making mud pies in the backyard! She was covered in mud!! Imagine- my daughter- playing in the mud? Well, she certainly looked adorable and I actually didn't mind cleaning up after this crew. How can you not smile when you see these?

New Goldman Sachs Building

Goldman Sachs recently announced that they would be moving into a new building in downtown Salt Lake City. 222 South Main will soon be Devan's new office. The building is amazing and it is the first truly "green" building in SLC. I wanted to send out a few of the pics we took when we were downtown for the SGK race.

Race for the Cure 2010

Every year, it is a family tradition to run the Susan G Koman Race for the Cure. We had so much fun and it was so inspiring to see so many people support the cause. We heard 20,000 people registered this year! Even Izzy sported her pink jacket to show her enthusiasm.

Easter 2010

Ok- So I know this is a little out of order but having Easter the day after Izzy's first birthday was quite a challenge! I really wanted to post some of the adorable pics from Izzy's second Easter. It had just snowed in Utah so Easter was really cold. The big kids (including our parents) were able to find eggs outside just fine but we decided to do Izzy's egg hunt indoors. She had so much fun playing with her uncle Chris, Grandma T and Grandpa T at our house and then we headed off to an awesome afternoon at Devan parents' house. I especially love the picture of all four cousins together. It was a great day.

Backyard Roller Coaster!

For Izzy's first birthday, Grandma and Grandpa T gave her an awesome backyard roller coaster. Needless to say, our little dare devil LOVES it! Devan and I take turns carrying her from the bottom -back to the top- so she can push herself down the track again and again.
