Hiking in November

On a clear Saturday morning in November Jess and I conquered Mount Mahogany! 5 hours round trip, 3,600 ft up.
I had made the same trip once before when I was 14 with my scout troop and have been excited to make it back ever since. Mt. Mahogany lies at the base of Mt. Timpanogas and in front of Lone Peak High School. The trick with this mountain is that there are no trails to follow or safety warnings to guild. It's more like a choose your own adventure book:) We struggled make it up to the top where we could see from SLC to Payson and miles of mountains to the east. Beautiful view. The way down turned into a headache when I tried to take a short cut and we ended up swimming though thick brush and trees for what seemed like hours and barely maneuvering past a few cliff areas. I was really impressed with Jessica's mountain climbing skill and her patience with me. A healthy challenge well worth it.

Halloween Parties

The weekend was full of PARTIES!!! So we got plenty of use out of our costumes. The night before Halloween we hosted a big Party in our basement with allot of our friends from work. We dressed up the basement to look like our own dungeon and enjoyed some great tortilla soup and desserts. The Morgan's sponsored most of the games and we all ended up with toilet paper or carmel apples all over us! So much fun. The Pool Table tournament was epic as well. wish you were there. The day of Halloween we made the usual round to Diane's in Alpine and then to my house in Highland. Cameron and Kyle were throwing a huge Bash with all his friends and the garage was turned into a dance floor. Way too cool for the Petersons. Last stop was over to Jamie and Mike Taylors for the Annual Party. Alway and 10 out of 10. We love all our friend from highschool. This year we cashed out big with a WIN in the Best Costume Contest!!! Until next year suckers!!!!

Halloween Costumes (Before and After)

Halloween seems to get more and more interesting every year. This year Jess and I started looking for our costumes in the end of September and only finished days before. Jessica had had it with wearing a goofy costume and wanted to look cute so we compromised, she got to wear the cute NYC firefighter costume and I was the fire. My costume required a little bit of creativity and time. I bought the suit from China and Jess helped me design and cut our each flame using three different colors of fabric and five different types of glue. All in all it was a worth while project and made the holiday warmer then usual :)))

Cougar Football

Sure glad that we bought season tickets this year and only made it to three home games:( But it was worth it in the end. The family got to fill in and use our tickets when we couldn't make it and we really enjoyed the crisp football weather when we could make it. Congrats on a great season!!! Go Cougars!!!

Last Stop!!!! Phoenix, Arizona

After a long list of cities and crazy adventures that we have had this summer it was nice to settle into a city closer to home and a little bit more familiar. I had recruited and sold here in Phoenix on and off for the last few year so I knew my way around the city. As usual we were setup in a very nice apartment complex across the street from a city golf course ( we went a few times while we were here). Phoenix was a big change from little old Beaumont TX. There were plenty of activities, restaurants and shopping around but as usual the best part was the great company. In these pics we are enjoying a fun sunday BBQ at the pool. We finished out the summer here in AZ and headed back to Utah for the long winter around October 15th. Another summer accomplished :)
