2009 Recap...

Well another year has come and gone but I actually feel like I can say another year didn't just pass me by. This was quite a fun year for me and I did a lot of new things. Here's a picture recap of just some of my amazing 2009 adventures:

I went to 10 rodeos in one year:


I attended the St. George, Salt Lake and Mt. Timpanogos Temples for the first time. I also attended the two new temples that were built in Utah this year: Draper and Oquirrh Mtn.


I got stitches for the first time:


I went four wheeling for the first time:


I went on a zipline for the first time:


I went shooting for the first time (and did better than all those experienced boys!):


I ate sushi for the first (and last) time:


I went to Bear Lake:


And while there I went horseback riding in the mountains for the first time!


I rode the Heber Creeper for the first time:


And in the process of all this I made a bunch of amazing friends!


Oh, and I increased my number of nieces and nephews by 2 bringing the total to 20:



Here's hoping that 2010 is just as full of adventure as 2009 was!

Stitch Removal Day...

I've never been more excited in my life to get those blasted stitches out of my finger! Not that they hurt...they were just annoying. But they are gone now and I'm happy. The finger still isn't completely healed, but the doctor said it should be in another couple weeks.

Here's a picture of what my finger looks like stitch-free!


Quite the improvement compared to this:
