Halloween Half Marathon and Carnival....and Cohen's haircut....

wow...this time I'm really backwards....this, the finished product of the haircut, sorry this is all backwards....please bare with my crazy blog.....Isn't he handsome, I think he looks kinda like Carver my second grandson....Cohen is grandson number four....

Cohen, the elvis look-alike for Halloween, getting his hair cut....by one of my pre-school girls Karly Hunter...

He is being so good....

Mom.......

oh....that feels good....

okay I never remember to not put these in order but go backwards.....after the half marathon in Provo we hurried back to Rexburg because Merilee was running the Halloween Carnival at BYU- Idaho....we are equally proud of her and her accomplishment with Social Board. She will be the area director next semester earning a full tutition scholarship for one semester, it would have been two but she had too many credits....but 1 is better that nothing...This is Stephanie Anderson, Merilee Cousin....she was a lot of help....

Angela Wisemen, another cousin and roomate Sydney were great helps also....

Merilee Kitty....always a kitty on Halloween....

Elvis-look-alike (Cohen) I wanted to draw some hair on his chest....back then hair chest was cool.....

I love you Cohen, oh yes I do....

My Hero....Ansley ran the half Marathon in under 2-1/2 hours in Provo, Utah on Oct 30,2010

We're all very proud of her....

love this little elvis look-alike....stay tuned for more Elvis look-alike pictures....

run Anz, run....

I am so proud of this girl, I tried to talk her out of running because I was so worried about her...she did wonderful and now that she has done it once, it's run Ansley run....way to go, keep it up...I am amazed, and doesn't she look great...sorry, I'm her mom and I'm no suppose to be proud....but....
Ansley had been training with a friend in St. Louis and flew in for the Marathon. thank you to Glen and Dana for flying Ansley in, we sure enjoyed our time with her and Cohen...

SUN VALLEY, IDAHO....SEPT 2010

THIS WEEKEND SEPT 23-25, WE WERE ABLE TO HANG OUT IN SUN VALLEY IDAHO WITH THE WESTMARK BOARD....EVERY FOUR YEARS WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT SUN VALLEY....I LOVE SUN VALLEY, PROBABLY BECAUSE IT IS IN IDAHO...BUT IT ALSO HAS A LOT OF HISTORY...NOT THE BEST SERVICE AND THEY DON'T WORK WITH THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY AS WELL AS THE OTHER RESORTS WE VISIT. BUT I DO LOVE SUN VALLEY.....LOVE THIS POOL...ROBERT AND I TOOK A SWIM LAST NIGHT. THE POOL STAYS OPEN YEAR ROUND, THEY KEEP IT AT 90 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER AND 100 DEGREES IN THE WINTER...SO MUCH FUN


THIS IS THE BACK OF THE LODGE WHERE WE STAYED...

THE ICE SKATING RINK IN THE BACK OF THE LODGE...ALL THESE LITTLE CHILDREN WERE TAKING LESSONS...

THE SUN VALLEY INN...THE LODGE AND THE INN ARE WALKING DISTANCE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER, ROBERT HAD HIS MEETINGS IN THE INN. I JUST LOVE ALL THE OLD BUILDINGS AND OLD PICTURES OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO STAYED IN THE LODGE OR THE INN....THEY SHOW THE MOVIE "SERANADE" OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IT TOOK PLACE PROBABLY DURING THE WORLD WAR II ERA OR MAYBE A LITTLE BEFORE....IT IS SUCH A CUTE OLD MOVIE. EVERY TIME I VISIT, I WATCH THE MOVIE...

THE OLD SHOPS, LOOKS LIKE SWITZERLAND

BEAUTIFUL GARDENS AND FLOWERS, THE LEAVES WERE TURNING COLOR, IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL..

AND A ROLLS ROYCE WAS IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE FRONT OF THE LODGE, WE DON'T KNOW WHO IT BELONGED TO BUT IT WAS KINDA INTERESTING....

THE SWANS AT THE POOL IN FRONT OF THE LODGE...

AFTON BELONGS TO A MOTHER'S GROUP WHO GET TOGETHER AND TALK WHILE THEIR CHILDREN INTER-ACT WITH EACH OTHER. WE GOT TO VISIT THE FIRE STATION WITH THE GROUP WHILE WE WERE VISITING...IT WAS AMAZING. THEY WERE SUPER FRIENDLY AND GAVE THE KIDS HATS, COLORING BOOKS, CRAYONS AND EVEN AT RIDE ON THE FIRE ENGINE....BIG KIDS TOO....DON'T WORRY THEY HAD PERMISSION BECAUSE THE FIRE CHIEF IS ALSO THE MAYOR...NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED BEING TREATED LIKE A SMALL TOWN IN THE BIG CITY...VERY NICE....

This was such a fun trip...sad thing though Spencer, Nikki, Kelan and Beckham were coming but their flight got canceled because of Huricane Earl, which we never even saw a rainstorm in New Jersey....it was a direct flight from Omaha....we were very sad. Also sad that Ryan and family also couldn't make it....
