Daddy time!

Getting the girls to go to bed can take a long time. Usually they want to sing, dance and play. Sometimes Eric even plays with them.
The funniest is when Eliza offers to give Gretta a horsey ride. She doesn't quite understand that she is so much smaller than Gretta.

Dinner with the MBA Bandits

We went to dinner with Eric's first year group at Red Robin. Allison and Darron were nice enough to watch the girls so we could go. 
From left to right: Becky & Kendric Russell, Jeremy & Jenessa Resse (General Mills in MN), us (Whirlpool), Trevor & Caryn Paulson (Adobe in UT) , Ray (Consulting with PWC in DC) & Jasmine (Another fellow MBA student and Ray's girlfriend (Citigroup in NY))
The good news is the whole group has accepted a job after graduation except for Kendric and he has an offer from Adobe.
Way to go team!!!!

Moab Adventure- March 18-20, 2011

30 + BYU MBA students or spouses ran the Canyonland's 1/2 marathon in Moab, so we decided to join them even if we didn't run. We rented a condo with the Orme's. 
Saturday while everyone was out running we went to Canyonland's.



At the Ranger station they gave us this Junior Ranger backpack. It was sure a hit. The girls really like the binoculars. We turned it in the next day at Arches.

This is what the view looks like from the other side of the arch.







Eric on top of the arch.


Gretta was pretending to be a mountain goat and climb all the way to the top.









Eliza eating Chocolate pudding in the condo.
We watched the BYU Game Saturday night from the Condo. It was on CBS, but crazy enough the Condo didn't get CBS. We had 141 cable channels and no CBS, so we watched it on the computer. Way to go Cougars!!!

Then on Sunday after church we went to Arches with the Orem's and Anderson's. The Anderson's are moving to South Bend, so they will be our closest MBA friends in Michigan.
Arches is really amazing and we had a fun time!!!
The Ranger Station.

Another mountain goat adventure by Gretta













Gretta & Eric hiked to the Delicate Arch. Eliza fell asleep and it was just to much for me to hike 3 miles with her on my back. Eric had to carry Gretta most of the way down.
