I was doing the dishes and listening to Ana crawl around exploring our house... but soon it got kind of quiet so I called out her name and went looking for her... this is where I found her - in the dog kennel. Ha. She was sitting inside it holding her little doll and smiling so big. I laughed at her and then she knew how funny she was. I went to open the gate and she yelled at me and grabbed it and closed it again and then gave her dolly a hug a laughed again. Man, my life is fun. Indy by the way was just laying there in hall watching the whole thing probably wondering why the heck she liked in there so much!

One Year Old!

Our little Analiese is one!
I can't believe how fast the year has gone. We had balloons in her room for her to wake up. She was so excited about it!
We had a combined birthday for her and Aunt Lisa and Grandpa Art - here is a cute picture of the cousins sitting at the "kid table" for our Sun. meal.
We tried to teach Ana to blow out a candle before her day but she didn't quite get it- so we had to blow for her.


















Here is a cute picture of Ronnie and her fiance' Bradley Scott- they gave Analiese a beautiful sparkle ball for her birthday that she loves to play with. She loved her cupcake but sure did get messy! Ana has been such a joy and we've loved having her in our home ! Happy Birthday Analiese Sarah Allen- you've made it a whole year in this crazy house with crazy sisters that love you to pieces!

Dock Jumping!

Last weekend the girls and I took Indy down to the lake. She met some good friends who taught her a new trick. She just kind of flops in the water for now. She's not much of an athlete. She likes laying around more than most. She wasn't scared though and got better as the day went on. Bella, the lab, was awesome. she probably jumped 12-15 feet. The german shepherd was part wolf and wouldn't jump in the water. We all had a blast. We'll be going back again soon!

Here is the video produced for our 2008 team by a coworker, Kevin Johnson.

Enjoy. Be inspired. Go run!

Wasatch Back 2009

I created this video over the weekend. Squire put two teams in the Wasatch Back Relay last year. While projections put our audit team 4 minutes ahead of the tax/advisory team, after 33 hours of running we came in about 55 minutes behind them. I will miss running with them this year, but I am super excited to do it with my family this year. They are all doing great on their training so far. Just 3 months left...
