Thanksgiving and Coral Spring Resort in St. George

We had Thanksgiving at Scott's mom's new house.  It was really good food and it was fun being with the family.

Then we headed down to St. George for the rest of the weekend with Brittney's family.  We hiked Angel's landing in Zions Canyon together.

We stayed at a place called Coral Springs resort.  It was super nice.  We swam at the pool and played tennis together too.

October Fun

This is our annual pumpkin run that we do with Brittney's mom's family.  We drive up to Maddox for dinner and on the way pick out our pumpkin to carve.

This year, Brittney's work had a Halloween party.  We couldn't find any modest girl costumes so Brittney dressed up as Voldemort and Scott was Harry Potter.

We played fear factor.  The picture above is of Scott eating some spam and the one below is of Brittney almost throwing up some gross ham and gravy baby food.

We carved some pumpkins with Brittney's family this year.  Scott carved a Frankenstein and Brittney carved  a ghost.  We usually cheat and use a pattern.

Island Park

Every year we go to Island Park and Yellow stone with Scott's family.  The picture above is of us and our nephew McKay in front of one of the natural hot springs there.

McKay's birthday is in October so we decided to let him pick out a souvenir from Yellowstone.  He picked out a little park ranger vest with all kinds of pockets.

There were lots of bison that would walk right up to our cars.

Scott's sister and brother-n-law have a Polaris ranger.  We had lots of fun sight seeing on it.  In this picture is Scott's sister, her family, some neighbor friends, and Scott's mom.

My handsome hunk.

Labor Day Tri/boating

Brittney finished her first triathlon ever on Labor Day this year.  She did very well but got a flat half way through the biking part.  Some nice ladies (good Samaritans) stopped and gave her a new tube and helped her fix it.  Thank you to the two women who took the time and money to help her out.  It took about twenty minutes to fix it.  So her final time was 1 hr and 37 minutes, but if she hadn't gotten a flat it probably would of been closer to 1 hr and 17 minutes.

Taking off on the bike unaware of what is about to happen next with the flat tire.

A little flat tire didn't stop her from finishing the race.

Scott was so nice to come and give support to Brittney.

Daddy daughter triathlon.

Brittney's family went boating at Willard after the triathlon.  Scott had to work so he wasn't able to make it boating.

Just Brittney and the bros (minus Stockton)

Nothing better than finishing the day out with a little skiing.

Scott's first triathlon/Sterling's 50th birthday

Scott did his first triathlon on August 4 which was Brittney's dad's 50th birthday.  Brittney's dad, Sterling also did the triathlon for his second time.

The race is on.

Coming in from running the 5k.  His time was 23 minutes.

Starting the 12 mile bike race.

His time for the bike race was 32 minutes.

Starting the swim.

Scott got 4th place at a time of 1 hr and 6 minutes.  I was so proud of him.  Brittney plans on attempting it next year.

Sterling and Scott getting ready for the big event.

The birthday boy coming in from running.  Sterling fell off a wall a couple of years ago and crushed his foot.  The doctor told him he would never be able to run again and would be in a lot of pain with just walking, but look at him now speed walking/jogging in the triathlon on his 50th birthday.

Taking off for the bike race.

Yeah dad, good job!

My mom threw a big party for my dad after the triathlon.  She had Vitos cater it and invited family and friends.  We then went boating after the party because my dad's favorite activity is water skiing.

Dad opening up his present from all of us.  We gave him some shoes that he wanted for swimming and for Lake Powell.  My mom gave him a guys trip to St. George to go on a Harley ride.
