A YEAR IN A MINUTE (continued)

Taylor's Senior Pictures:
When we got her pictures taken, that's when it finally hit me that she's graduating from High School and moving on.
She's going to BYU-I where she got a scholarship and hopes to get a Nursing degree (but that might change, so don't quote me.)


MARCH: Cooper gets baptized
We're so proud of him. It was a great day! (Except Grandma and Grandpa Dille couldn't make the trip. Grandpa D got ill the night before.)

Proud sisters

Proud Parents

Taylor's 18th Birthday - April 23rd

She got what she wanted - AGAIN! A mac laptop.

It was fun to see how excited she got. Even though she knew that's what she would be getting.

Cooper's 1st Pinewood Derby Race.

Coop's car didn't turn out so well. (That's a story for another day, not when I'm trying to do 1 year in 1 minute.) So, we had to borrow a neighbor's.

Utah Peak Performance goes to Reno (and goes a little crazy!)

Gotta have "Firepower"

Love these volleyball girls!

GO McCall!

UP2 after a great win!

APRIL: Cooper and his buddy (Connor) fishing.

Cooper and Riley Nelson - Dana took Cooper to a BYU football camp and they got to meet some of the new faces of BYU.

Cooper and Jake Heaps - BYU Quarterback
Go Cougs!

Michael Buble Concert! It was awesome!

My sister Dustin took me. (Thanks Anton for giving up your ticket.:)

June 12: SAWATOOTH RELAY

I already blogged about this, but this was too big of an event to not make it in the year in review.

Love my sisters who pushed me to do this.

Love my family for supporting me through my so called training.

Love my parents for giving us all a love of the outdoors and helping us enjoy such a great event.

I just might have to do it again!

The Dille Clan

The Goff Gang

MAY: TAYLOR GRADUATES!

Taylor with G & G Dille

JULY: PAINTBALLING

Cooper's war wounds. And he's proud of them! Dana took him paintballing with the neighborhood kids and fathers. He was in Heaven! I dont' know if it was the guns, the friends, or the game that got him more excited.

JULY: Quick day trip to Park City!

Love the Alpine Slide and Coaster!

JULY 26, Carly turns 14

and gets a long board. Let's all cross our fingers for no broken bones in 2010 or 2011.

We're Back!

Red Fish Lake, Idaho

Dille Reunion/Run/Anniversary

Sun Valley, Idaho

June 12, 2010

After a crazy year of ups and downs, I finally experienced the biggest up and down of the year - THE SAWTOOTH MOUNTAINS. About 8 months ago my crazy sisters came up with a plan to run in the Sawtooth Relay. I'm not a runner, but thought, "Hey, why not."

We came up with a team name: "Dile 5 +1" - not very creative, we could have put a little more thought into it. The +1 is my brother in-law David (married to Devri) - He was our driver and our back up runner, in case anyone backed out of their leg or got hurt. Luckily he only had to run his 2 legs, even though they were probably the hardest ones. We all ran 2 legs, with each leg being about 5 miles each. So, 10 miles total. A big thank-you to my Bootcamp Buddies who helped get me into shape. We set an initial goal of just finishing... then changed it to under 12 hours. I'm happy to report we finished in 10 hours and 25 minutes... not bad for 3 women in their 40's, 2 headed in that direction, and 1 40 + guy.

And a big thank-you to my family for being the great support team possible. I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks!

COWABUNGA!

Cooper's baseball team went to Cowabungabay for their end of the season party. It was pretty cold, but the boys didn't seem to mind. Thanks so much to Mike and Julie Huish! I now call Cowabunga the Huish Hangout... and it's the coolest hangout ever.

Taylor even goes when she's not working there. Thanks again Mike and Julie for getting her a job there.

The lazy river is heated to 90 degrees, so Dana loved that.

I had to hold them down for this picture. They didn't want to stop, I think for fear of getting cold.

KUTV even showed up to do a live shot for their story on how the weather is hurting outdoor businesses. Of course, Cooper found a way to get on TV. :) He forgot his mom said, dont' jump up and down and act like a fool. I've seen way too much of that.

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we headed up to Park City. I couldn't resist taking a picture of this farm House with a big American Flag on it. I made Dana stop, the second time we passed it. Had we stopped the first time, I would have had the kids out walking the paths around it and taken way more pictures. Oh, well.

Dana and Cooper's feet while on the Alpine Coaster (way different from the slide... much more $$ but way better.) Don't notice the holes in Cooper's shoes, we did buy him new ones at the Nike outlet.

Dana and Erin

Cooper, Carly and Taylor

Over the river and through the woods to the Alpine Slide we go! Don't mind the blatant billboards in the trees, and don't forget to close your eyes while the slow moving chair lift takes you by the tree with unmentionables in it.

On the chair lift.

My two girls!

My Cooper... sporting his new summer hair-do.

1st Grade Program

Cooper and Gabe

Swaying to the music.

Saying I love you! (1st grade style)

And what first grader doesn't know "Fire Power."

You know its the end of the school year when you have programs, projects, and even more projects. This year's first grade program on manners was awesome. Mostly because it only lasted 20 minutes, allowing us time to get to Cooper's baseball game on time. (Yes, we have our priorties in order.) Thank-you teachers and Westfield 1st graders.

SPRING CLEANING (my memory card)

Highland City Easter Egg Hunt. The kids could only find three eggs and then had to hand them in for a bag of candy. It started at 9:00 a.m. They were home at 9:13.... Gotta love it!

Lone Peak High Spring Fling Dance. They were supposed to dress up as 70's, 80's or any decade. They decided '09 was the way to go. I thought they all decided to wear black and white. A great group!

You know it's almost Summer when the football is put away and the baseball, mit and bat all find their way to the back yard. Got to love My Boys of Summer.
