Norah Wynne Thompson - April 9, 2008

My little girl, Norah Wynne Thompson, was born Wednesday night at 11:06 pm. She is a beautiul little girl with tons of DARK hair! She weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19" long. Whitney barely made it to the hospital before she had her. It only took one hour from the time we reached the hospital until Norah was born! It was crazy. The babe was coming so quickly that the doctor almost missed the birth. The nurses were telling Whit that the baby had a ton of dark hair so she started to laugh. As she laughed, the baby started to come out. The nurses quickly told her to quit laughing and not to push. As soon as Dr. Benham arrived, Whit only pushed once and Norah was here! Right out of the womb, she was already so beautiful. We are so blessed to have such a healty, beautiful girl!

Mountain Biking Gooseberry Mesa

I have lived in St. George now for over 21 years. I have been mountain biking a lot in this area, but I have never biked Gooseberry Mesa...until today. Little did I know I was missing out on one of the world's best mountain bike trails. Matt, Robbie, and I spent nearly 5 hours riding as many trails we could find out there. It was extremely technical riding but was so worth the effort. I can't wait to get back there soon.. Oh yeah, we wrecked a lot too!

Thanksgiving Day!

We have a family tradition that every Thanksgiving morning we hike up to the Indian caves here in Green Valley. It is always a fun hike, but this year it was a bit tiring. Hayes wanted to go but he didn't want to hike. So like a good dad, I carried him the whole way on my shoulders. Needless to say, my body was hurting the rest of the day.

A November Saturday...

A typical Saturday in November here in St. George. Soccer in the morning with a nice bike ride in the afternoon. I can't wait until ski season!

Happy Halo-ween!!

Of course our boys couldn't be something simple for Halloween. This year Harper specifically stated that he wanted to be Master Chief from Halo. I think all the hype and marketing for the release of Halo 3 had something to do with it. Hayes is at the age that he wants to be whatever Harper wants to be so i had to fabricate two Master Chief suits. Each suit took me roughly 5 hours to make. They both really liked the suits and were the hit of the night.
