Max - 15 years with the best dog ever!

One of the hardest things we have had to do is make the decision to put our beloved dog to sleep.

Max has been with our family for 15 years. He has been a great dog and served us faithfully. He loved to run after a tennis ball, have his ears scratched, play tug of war, and just be in the room with those he loved. He would follow me around until he could no longer walk up or down the stairs. He was well loved and we will miss him incredibly.

Alex leaving on his mission and hoping Max lives until he gets home.

The night before, family gathered to say good bye

Alex slept by him his last night

Alex saying good-bye

He was so miserable, he just let us hold him and love him until the end. Alex held him until he was gone.

Memorial Weekend 2014

Memorial Weekend the whole family went to St. George, Utah where the weather was warmer and there was Sand Hollow reservoir to go boating on. Fred came with us and brought a friend.

5 hour drive following the truck and boat

Mexican Fiesta

Nielsen's Frozen Custard is the family favorite!

Alex giving Kylie great encouragement

Alex wake surfing

Tyler has the most water skills in the family

Parking was tight so the boys just picked up this car and moved it a foot or two to give us room

Our hiking trail was not for the faint of heart!

Under Armour Weekend

We were lucky enough to be invited again to the Under Armour Hospitality Weekend with Head Coaches and their wives and Athletic Directors from Under Armour schools. Kyle and I are one of two couples who have been going to this event the longest, this was our 6th year going. I think there were 8 couples the first weekend we went. Under Armour has grown so much I could not begin to count the people there. There were couples from the schools, athletes, famous people, and the wonderful, hard working people who work for Kevin Plank who remember us every year. So it is a fun filled weekend!

We stayed at the Four Seasons right here on the right and UA offices are across the water on the left.

With all the people who attend we are taken place to place on these nice buses

Hot air balloon rides if you choose

Just love seeing the property around Sagamore Farms where Kevin Plank keeps his horses

They put on a wonderful spread of food-shrimp, oysters, tacos

BBQ brisket, corned bread, beans-anything BBQ you could think of


Under the tent party going on

Photo Booth

As we were leaving the party guess who we ran into arriving at the party. Kyle was wearing his favorite shirt. Lucky photo opportunity!

Kyle with Mike Tyson

The morning after the big party is the day of the Preakness. They bring us back to Sagamore Farms for a deluxe breakfast under a tent. Everyone is dressed for the day at the races. We get to go see some of the horses and watch some of the warming up for the day.
