And then, he shares his dream with us!
A helicopter ride! Wahoo!

Riding in this helicopter was a blast!

Some sleep on comfy ground in a mountain meadow.

Annual hike. Thankyou for letting me hike again this year!

Some things are just hard, but amazing!

In the beginning, there was a dream!

Rockwell Relay race!

Moab to St. George. 515.5 miles, 4 riders.

Jamie, Kellie, Christie and John!

And 3 support people/drivers!

Me (Shauna), Gerald, and Jack (not pictured)!

The weather started out sunny with some wind, but Christie did an excellent job getting started!

We just have to spot her!

The exchanges went smoothly. Each rider rode between 30-50 something miles a leg, then the next rider would go. Each rider had 3 legs, totally about 150 miles each.

What a beautiful place to ride. Southern Utah is spectacular!

They rode in Sun, wind, rain, hail and snow! Riding in the dark was thrilling. It was so dark when I turned the lights off on my truck. I couldn't see 4 feet in front of me. The clouds blocked all light from the sky and the mountain roads were very quiet. Thank goodness for head lights and flashers!

They climbed and descended, over mountains, and over the top of Lake Powell

We cheered them on, took lots of pictures and enjoyed the scenery. Also lost a lot of sleep!

We had two flat tire incidents, but with the bad weather, that's ok. The support, me, was afraid of crashes on the wet roads! But the riders have great bike handling skills and they rocked.

They finished in 34 hours and 50ish minutes. You guys are awesome! Thank you for letting me be one of your support crews.

And Keep dreaming!

6.8.10 Early morning Horse Ride in Yellow Fork!

What a beautiful day for a horse ride! What can I say....that says it all!

Morgan and I spent some quality time on our ponies! You can see Utah Lake in the back!

May 29th, Moving Day!
We first flew into Chicago on May 18th. The plan was to induce Tiffany and have a baby on May 21st. So I helped Tiffany shop and pack until Friday. Then she went into the hospital and was induced. The problem was that she was only dilated to a 2 and even though she was given pit to start her labor. Baby Cadence and Tiffany were not ready! So after 2 days, she went home to wait it out! Kevin and I flew home on Sunday only to turn around with the truck and trailer and drive to Chicago on Wednesday the 26th so we could load all these boxes and furniture and take it to Tulsa, with or without Tiffany, Rob and baby Cadence.

But early Wednesday morning we received a call that Cadence had arrived! We were so excited that Kevin and I drove straight to Chicago. We left at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and arrived in Chicago at 5:00p.m. on Thursday.

Our only stops were bathroom, food, fix the lights on the trailer (they shorted out when we were being rained on in Nebraska) and a 2 hour nap on the side of the road.

And we arrived in Chicago, just in time for the New Mom and Dad to come home from the hospital! Then Rob graduated and now it is moving day!

With the help of some ward members, the entire house was loaded into the trailer by noon on Saturday. Jamie and Adam flew into Chicago on Saturday to help with the move. I picked them up from the airport and we went to downtown Chicago for a few hours! You can not go Chicago without getting a picture under the bean. We also drove by Wrigley Field. People were paying $50.00 to park their cars close to the field. Ouch!

Then Sunday morning, we cleaned out the refrigerator at the apartment and started driving. We arrived at the new apartment in Tulsa at 5:00 a.m. With a new baby, the schedule depends on Cadence. We averaged 2 hours of driving and then 1 hour of feeding and diaper changes. (We didn't mind at all). We sacked out on the floor of the new apartment at 5:00 and had to get up at 8:00, the ward members in Tulsa had arrived to help unpack the trailer and truck. In one hour the trailer was empty and the angels from heaven, aka. ward members, went home. It was so nice to have all the help in Chicago and Tulsa. Thank you everyone! You are truly angels!

And now Tiff and Rob are officially relocated!
We left Tulsa about 11:00, Tues morning and arrived back in Salt Lake Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. Just in time to go back to bed. Total of 3401 miles and 276 gallons of gas.
Only wish we could have stayed a month.

Don't Jamie and Adam look like they are ready to be a Mom and Dad! :)

Sweet Baby Girl!
Welcome to the family Cadence Bella. Cadence joined the family on May 26. She was 7 lb 3 oz and 20 inches long. What a sweet thing you are! We only got to hug, kiss and love you for 4 days, but in those 4 days you touched our hearts. We are full of love and wonderment at this precious gift God has sent.

Congratulations Tiff and Rob! We are proud and overflowing with love with the addition to your family. Thank you for sharing 4 days with us. We look forward to another visit.
