Tucson Trip








This week we attended the AZ Cattle Growers Convention in Tucson. It was held at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. The resort is located in an absolutely beatuiful location. What I loved about the resort is how it is built to fit right into the natural beauty of the landscape, at the base of Mt. Lemmon in the Catalina Foothills. We enjoyed the walking trails around the resort, with informational signs and pathways going in all directions. There is a waterfall at the top of the resort. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool where we spent most of our time. Well Rachel, Morgan and I did, not Doug. He spent most of his time at the convention. He was a presenter at one of the sessions. One night we went to a steak dinner held at U of A farm where 99% of the guests wore cowboy hats and danced to "Boot Scootin' Boogie." The dinner was cooked in dutchovens. Fun few days!

Ok, this is quite a goofy combination. (I got the word "Goofy" from the Mtn commentator on Saturday's BYU/Wyoming football game. Did you notice how many times he said "goofy.") Anyway Saturday as I was doing the dishes, I noticed a roadrunner outside walking across our basketball court. At first I thought it was Morgan because he is so fast on the BB court..... Funny. Seriously, we all looked and sure enough it was a roadrunner. We have never seen one in our yard before. As for the Christmas Tree. Saturday afternoon we attended a "Capitol Christmas Tree Celebration." Arizona has the honor of providing the 2009 Capitol Christmas Tree for the US Capitol. The tree is an 85' blue spruce harvested from the Apache Sitgreaves Forest south of Eagar. This is the first time a tree has been selected from an Arizona forest. Rachel's school choir sang in the program. The tree is packaged up and goes on tour across the US until it arrives in DC Nov...

Anniversary

Image
Doug and I recently celebrated our 28-year anniversary.  A few years ago we thought we would like to go to a different temple for our anniversary each year.  Luckily Bryan got married near our anniversary date so we got to count the St. George temple as our Anniversary Temple!  I wonder where we will go next year?  When I was young, one of my goals was to visit every temple in the world.  Like that is going to happen now.  So I revised my goal and decided on one new temple each year.

Rachel the Soccer Star

Rachel finished her soccer season today. She scored a goal today to top off her season. It was a fun season, especially the two games her dad coached. (The only 2 games they won.) He is quite proud of his record! Doug is a really good soccer coach and had the kids playing positions so well.
