Kate's 17th Birthday

Kate turned 17 on January 18th. It is so hard to believe how fast time is going by. She is such an exceptional young woman and I am so proud of her.

She had her birthday party in our apartment clubhouse. Several of her friends from school came. Kate had several games planned. We made an iPod cake. Everyone seemed to have a great time.

A Fun Family Weekend

Saturday we went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Museum, which was once the Hotel Utah. This view is from the top floor. Very lovely.
Later we walked over to the Beehive House and took the tour and then walked on over to the Church History Museum, we were only able to spend about 20 minutes there since it was about to close, but the kids were able to do this great dance in the kids museum section.

New Years Eve

For New Years Eve, We went to Salt Lake City. There was this Eve Celebration thru out the City. It was so super fantastic. We had a great time. We participated in a Broadway Musical Sing-a-long, we heard Swiss Bells, a Celtic group perform. We watched a Improv Comedy Show. We then went to the Salt Palace and the kids surprised us by having a blast at Bounce Town, it was this huge area with moon walks some for kids and some for kids aged 12 and older. The kids really had fun. There was also a party in the Ballroom at the Salt Palace with huge balls. It was sooooo..... fun. We saw this Incendiary Circus that was very good and a group of guys doing snow ski/board stunts that were very exciting. And to end it all some great fire works. The night was very cold with some snow, but there was plenty of indoor activities so that we could warm up. Welcome 2011, Let us do our best to be who we should this year, and to live life to it's fullest.~
