UVU vs. BYU

Kim had a nice second half in a loss to the BYU cougars.

Keep working hard Kimmie. We love you.

UVU Highlights

Kim does well again in the second game of the season. We lost again despite

being upin the first half and pushing to the end.

Kim scores 17 points with 14 rebounds!

Look here she has her photo up again next to the game news release.

I keep seeing double when I read the headlines and it says

"JENSEN AND BELL both had double-doubles for UVU in the game."

now that is unique!

Katie's BIG BIG JUMP!

Sorry these photos are not good quality. This is what

was passed on to me to blog for all to see.

Wish I could have been there to get my own photos!

BUT Katie had a great time! She loved the experience!

I guess here she is getting her pre-jump instructions.

Ready to JUMP!

Wish I had better photos of her jumping out of the plane but

it is what it is. Pretty darn cool!

Katie's 24 hour Theatre & Zion National Park

Katie's 24 Hour Theatre Group. She performed the same day as the

opening BYU football game. I was in town for the weekend so

naturally I was excited to go. Kim and I left the football game early to

be able to see Katie on stage. You can see from Kim's

somewhat sweaty looking face that we were quite

warm coming from the stadium. It was very warm in

those stadium seats! The Cougs won though!

Five different groups of five performed skits that were written

practiced and performed in 24 Hours.

I think the twins are glad to be in the same area going to college.

That way they can still do things together but still get their

own unique college experience.

They know how to have fun!

After spending Labor Day weekend with the kids in Provo I met up

with my best friend Lori. She was taking her son up to BYU Idaho

and I tagged along. After getting Taylor settled in school we headed back

towards her home in Arizona. I've never seen the

Grand Canyon so I talked her into taking me there.

Our first stop though was at Zion National Park.

These massive canyon walls ascend towards a brilliant blue sky!

Zions National Park was beautiful. The valley was a beautiful

contrast to the massive cliff walls.

The Virgin River flows through the canyon.

We hiked up to the Emerald Pools area.

There are three levels lower, middle and upper pools.

There was not much water flowing over the falls but

it was still a beautiful site being able to hike so close

to the towering cliff walls.

We even saw a tarantula along the trail!

We had to take a photo of all the little rock statues that everyone has made.

They are called cairns. (A human made pile of stones.)

These were taken at the upper pool area. The cliff walls went

straight up from that point. It was awesome!

This photo is of the middle pool falls.

Part of the unique trail we were hiking on.

We we lucky enough to see some Bighorn Sheep on our drive

through part of Zion National Park. Some say they are rarely seen

so we were excited to get some nice photos of them and watch them for a bit.

Part of the Vermilion Cliffs. I want to go back to hike and take

photos of this area as well. THERE IS SO MUCH TO SEE!

More coming soon - THE GRAND CANYON

And WE WENT TO THE BEACH!

Ashton's feet catching some waves.

Weston checking out the water.

I'd like to do this someday.

We all had a wonderful time.

The boys RUNNING from the waves!

Grandpa's thumb is in the picture too.

It was a bit cold, but it was still fun.

Playing in the sand warmed us up :)

I love my grandkids!

. . . so does Grandpa!

Daddy playing with his boys.

We had a great trip relaxing and spending time with

Tommy, Shayna, Ashton and Weston.

We also enjoyed our visits with

Great Grandma and Grandpa Bell.

Thank you for letting us come stay with you.
