Walking & Stairs

For the past two weeks we have been walking more then Crawling. In the last 6 days, since we moved to the new house and have stairs, he also learned stairs. It is so fun to watch him, he turns around backwards at the top and comes down two stairs, he then gets so excited, cause he know he did it and starts to waive his hands in the air.. that is when you get scared about him falling.
This is a video of him walking at 10 months.

1st Black Eye

One of Bode favorite things used to be to act like he was driving the truck. Last Monday, he was playing with the steering wheel on cliff's truck, I opened the back door, and started to get his car seat ready, and he took a head dive to the concrete. His eye immediately was swollen shut. The poor little guy has had a hard week, new home, so hard to sleep and now he is in pain.

He still was able to smile about the snow as well! He must be my child!!

Denver Broncos. Wyoming Cowboys & the Boys

We moved on Friday and Sat morning bright and early I flew to Denver with my brothers and Dad to see some football. I loved it and rightfully so. First Robert Linford vacation since Lake Powell when I was about 10. Keri was a real trooper to let me go with a house that was full of boxes. It looked a lot better by the time I got home. My timing was great! Of course now I get to make it up to her for a while. Good news the cowboys won but the broncos lost.

Sandy... We are Back!

We recently moved to Sandy. Our new address is 9052 Wagner Circle, it is approximately 2450 east. We are right off of New Castle and happy to be here. As a welcome present it snowed 12 inches in our front yard and I couldn't have been happier, 15 min from Alta. Things we love about the house- right off the front door a cherry wood office, two shower heads and body washer in the master shower, ice maker that makes small ice, the circle... No TRAFFIC, 3 car garage and a car port that the boat and jeep fit under, and no remodeling we finally got a nice home! We sold all the furniture with the old house so we don't have a table or couch. But we feel at home, the neighbors are so kind and nice, they shoveled my drive way... We invite all of our friends to stop by and say hi!

Halloween

We got our pictures taken for Halloween, and for fun. I just think he is so cute in his lion costume! I have a good friend who is trying to start a photography gig, and does a really good job. You should check out her stuff if you need pictures-http://heatherlinfordphotography.blogspot.com/. Thanks for doing these for me Heather you did a great job.

Paragliding

Draper home of the world famous Paragliding at the Point of the Mountain. For the past 3 years we have had the worlds best Home Teacher, also owner and head instructor at Utah Paragliding. Check him out http://www.utahparagliding.com/. As one of the last memories and hurrah in draper this last Monday he took me paragliding. It was awesome. We did this really sharp turn, which in turns makes it so you have a moment of weightlessness, it was the best part. But a close second was the feeling when you go close to the mountain and like buzz it. It reminded me of watching ski movies when the helicopter, buzzes the skiers on the top of the mountain, anything that reminds you of skiing you should do again.

Draper Home

I feel as if I have strayed away from home. For the past 3 years we have been living in Draper, Utah. We sold our home this last week and are headed back to Sandy. The end goal is Alta, so anything closer then Draper is going to work. We purchased this home from Auction, so you go down to the court house and bid on the home you want, and then you have to close within 24 hours. Well, I looked at the home after Cliff went to work in Ogden for the day, and signed the paperwork before he got home. A little bit of pressure spending so much money without Cliff seeing the home before the deal was done.

We really worked out tails off on this home. Including-Finishing a punch list, putting in a yard, sprinkling system, new kitchen, paint, new floors, put 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and huge family room in the basement, redid all the utilities into the home, knocking down a shack- I figure we put $100,000.00 into the home, including thousands of hours of time. In the process we fell in love with the home.

This is where we brought Bode home to, that alone somehow made it a home, instead of just a house. Thanks Draper, we are happy and sad to see you go!
