Happy Birthday Janette!

Kevin's sister Janette was in town this past weekend. Saturday was her birthday, so we were excited to be able to hang out with her on the special occasion.

I'm not sure why Kevin put on his biking gear for the picture.

The "Death Hike"

For Janette's birthday we decided to torture her and take her on what she would later refer to as "The Death Hike" (Lake Blanche).

At this point it was all smiles. (Elevation 5975ft)

A little mid hike stretching.

Cannon hitched a ride in the Baby Bjorn.

But he was snoozing most the way.

Janette and Kevin

Janette and Kimberly posing before the trail turned into snow. There were still smiles at this point.

So the trail went either off to the left (the longer but less steep way) or it went straight up this Mt. Everest look a like mountain side (and when I say trail, I mean footprints in the snow). We decided to try "Mt. Everest" thinking this way would be faster. Halfway up the mountain side I think we realized this was not the case.

I think Janette was saying "I'm so pissed off right now!" in this picture.

Kimberly and Janette debating whether to continue "The Death Hike" (We were so close to the top at this point but we didn't know it yet).

The view from the lake was amazing!

Janette survived "The Death Hike" and made it to the top! (Elevation 8926 ft, ascending 50 ft. shy of 3000 ft.) Nice job Netty!

Janette looks cold!

Sushi Dinner!

After the long day of hiking, we went to eat sushi for dinner (Note the sunburned faces!)

Cute sisters!

Kevin had a sweet neck tan line, or more like a burn line I guess.

Cannon's smiles

Cannon is smiling a lot now. It's so fun to see his personality coming through! Unfortunately we usually don't have the camera ready for his best smiles, but I managed to get a few shots.

Cannon Loves his dad!

All bundled up to go outside

Kevin says our profiles fit together like a puzzle

Mountain Biking on The Pipeline Trail

Kevin, Mesa and I went biking yesterday on the Pipeline trail and we had so much fun. Mesa did a great job even though the trail was hard for her at times, she was a trooper!

The end of the trail

I just couldn't contain my excitement about the amazing view at the end of the trail.

The triumphant finish!

Mountain biking in Moab

Kevin took Mesa to Moab this past weekend with him and a couple of friends

Lake Blanche trailhead

This past weekend we decided to enjoy the nice weather and take Cannon on a hike (well, maybe more like a little walk up the Lake Blanche trailhead)

Cannon was too tired to open his eyes for a picture
