Recently, Grandma and Grandpa Bowen invested in a condo on a golf course in St. George. We've been a couple times in the last month and a half. This last weekend Abby and I were able to climb on the 'Big Rocks' just outside of the condo.
Abby was quite an ambitious climber. It was good Aunt Madi was there to help this prego person regulate the Abby mountain goat.
We found caves, threw rocks, and even got kicked off the 'Big Rocks' by the golf course Marshal (boo!). It's probably cause despite our attempts to tell Abby to be quiet, I'm pretty sure she disturbed the golfers putting on the hole right below the 'Big Rocks'.
Insiders informed us though that if we wait a half hour or so before sunset, we can get away with climbing on the 'Big Rocks' without Marshal interference. There are also some other 'Big Rocks' nearby that aren't right on the course that we might be able to get away with climbing on without getting in trouble.
Abby also went to town on this breadstick from the Pizza Factory. Yum. Personally, I'm still anxiously awaiting my Bear Paw Cafe visit, for Creme Brulee Waffle indulgence.
Today at naptime, Abby asked, "We going to Sand Hollow tomorrow?" Unfortunately I had to say no. "But why!?" was her response. We just love St. George and it's temperate spring weather! Next visit we're going to have check out the reservoir that's just down the road from the condo. I'm a little dubious about it. I'm told that last year, there was a sign posted at the reservoir that said, "Beware of swimmer's itch." YIKES! I think we'll pass on that ailment. But we'll still check it out. We could at least throw rocks into the water.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.

WHAT?? prego?? CONGRATULATIONS!!! Did I miss that post? Well, regardless, I am so excited for you. When are you due? I'm relieved but not glad to hear that Abby does the same thing while you're shopping as Andrew does. You know the panic and frustration that I know. If they only knew :)
