Ringing out 2009

Zachary's Christmas concert

Grandma Palmer's Christmas concert

Trip to Temple Square after the sing-a-long at the Delta Center (oops, Energy solutions arena). We were some of the lucky ones that actually got our free hot dog and drink. Well worth it :o)


Temple Square

Christmas morning, after opening presents.

Getting ready for the Palmer Christmas party

Trip to Cali. This was an old railroad which they made into a trail for walking and biking. It was huge and pretty long!

James on our helicopter ride

View of Hoover Dam from our helicopter

Proof we actually rode in the helicopter (why else would we wear those dorky fanny packs?)

Hike to some hot springs near Hoover Dam

Enjoying the hot springs (apparently James can't tell when my makeup is smeared versus when I just have puffy eyes, cause right here these racoon eyes are mascara, not fatigue)

On the warm, sunny beach

Watching the paragliders

Sunset without pollution :o)

Acrobat at the Pirate Dinner in Anaheim

Speaks for itself!

Flashback to the pirate dinner (a little out of order) and there's supposed to be a large pirate ship behind us but you'll have to use your imagination because the flash could only get us OR the ship

Aren't we cute?

The first few hours of 2010 in Disneyland.









Now that 2009 is over, it's time to start new adventures in 2010. And as some of you may notice, James and I are kind of impulsive, so who knows what it will actually bring! But it'll be exciting :o) Our plans so far include a trip to Maui, hiking to Havasupai Falls (if we can get a permit), a few more sprint distance triathlons, having a baby in July, Korth family trip to Jackson Hole in June, and hopefully driving to Mt. Rushmore with Zachary. Spencer is apparently thriving in Argentina on his mission and it's always great hearing from him. Steven will be turning 17 this year. And Zachary is in the 8th grade and already taller than everyone except his dad.

There's probably a lot more to write, but this is a good start. Just wanted to share pictures of our amazing trip to Cali with friends over for the New Year!
