Bobsled Ride!

We went to the Olympic Village at Park City, UT today and we got to do the Bobsled run! The guy in the back told our driver he wanted to set a record! Our stats are on the photo, but basically there are 15 turns, we went about 69 miles an hour which at certain turns was around 4.5 G's!!! Eric says it's a good way to explode your brain!
When we left, we still had the first place record for the day! (1.01.61) What a RUSH!

"The Happiest Place on Earth"

Last March was our granddaughter Shelby's birthday! She turned three this year. Jessie and Eamon hosted their second family trip to Disneyland! We all love Disneyland! John and Donelle got to go this year and it was so fun to have them along. Shelby was a Princess, and had a Princess Breakfast! Ethan is tall enough to go on all of the rides and loves them all. Little Colt and Aidan just hung out with their peeps. We missed Bill and Brent this year, but look forward to the time that they can come with us. We loved just being with all of our family at "The Happiest Place on Earth." I'm ready for a fall trip!

Track Travels 2008

Brent was on the SUU track team this past year. Now that Eric and I are "empty nesters", we saw track events in a new light. Not only were they an opportunity to support our son, but they provided many nice road trips!

Brent is a decatholete! In high school he participated in primarily throwing events. He began learning hurdles his Senior year. This past year he has taken on many new events and has been a year of much growth! We have particularly enjoyed watching him learn the pole vault!

A Little Taste of Home!

This little series of pictures was sent to us Feb 2008. Before he left on his mission, Bill was the official Springall burger chef! The family would come over on weekends, and he always enjoyed cooking the meat on the barbeque! One week he felt a little homesick, so he decided to do something to cheer himself up! We laughed out loud when we saw the pictures!
