Jackson Hole

Our visit to Jackson Hole, WY was wonderful! We had so much fun getting away from it all. Elizabeth Anne had a blast and was so good. I got to see my brother who is living out there now - that was good. Went whitewater rafting down the Snake River, horseback riding up a mountain that overlooked Jackson, and drifted on an all day fly fishing trip down the South Fork where I caught 7 TROUT!! How about that for a vacation.

Here are some pics - I can't wait to go out again!

Marilyn's property that backs up to the national park.




Lauran and I on the horse trail - a 2 1/2 hour ride up the mountain.



Elizabeth Anne get's into the spirit of things..



Dinner at Snake River Grill - someone is loudly banging a fork on the table..

Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera on my fishing trip. You will have to trust me on that. I really did catch those fish - I PROMISE! Our guide was with Jack Dennis Outfitters. The funny thing is that he was an AUB. Can you believe it? They are everywhere!

Can't wait to go back...

Walk of Life is a 5K run/walk through downtown Montgomery, which will be held at Cramton Bowl on April 19, 2008. The Walk of Life is the major fundraiser for the Joy to Life Foundation. It is intended to raise awareness and dollars to help pay for free mammograms for women under 50 years of age. All funds that are raised stay in the tri-county area.

New York!

I took Lauran to New York for our anniversary! We had a blast! It was a first for both of us so we tried to do as much in one weekend as possible.

Here are the highlights:

First impression - EXTREMELY BUSY! If you have been you understand. This city moves. At first we were overwhelmed, but we got the hang of it after a while. We took a twilight cruise right when we arrived - which was the best thing we could have done. We saw the whole city - Empire State Building, Wall Street, Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, etc.. Unfortunately, our pics didn't turn out!!

The London - our hotel rocked! I highly recommend to anyone. Here is our view

The service was excellent. The restaurant was great. We loved it! Walking distance to everything.

Central Park. is MUCH BIGGER than I imagined. We spent the morning just walking through the park. Very cool.

Hairspray! A fantastic show. I could spend the whole weekend going to shows.

Shopping - Lauran enjoyed it. Me...not my thing, but we had fun.

Celeb Sightings - Sat right across from Chris Kattan Famous for "Monkey Boy" on Saturday Night Live, and the Night at the Roxbury.

We had a blast and will definitely go back.

Elizabeth Anne - photos

Here are some photos of our beautiful daughter... I can't describe in words just how wonderful it is to be a DAD. I am so proud of my incredible wife.

Elizabeth Anne

Elizabeth Anne Parsons arrived Monday afternoon at 4:37 pm.

She was 8 lbs, and 19 inches long. A beautiful healthy baby girl!

Mom and Dad are fine and will be out of sight for a little while.



Thank you for your prayers and thoughts!

Thank you all!

I just want to say thank you all for all the gifts, prayers, and encouragement you have given Lauran and I. We are excited and can't wait for Elizabeth Anne to be born!

She is right around the corner! Everyone has been so generous to her and us. Here are a couple of photos of the nursery. We are ready! (so I think)

Elizabeth Anne 4D

Here are some 4D photos of our little girl... Looks like her daddy if you ask me.



We have about 30 days or so before she is due, but she can come anytime now. I know Lauran is ready!

If we could ask for anything right now, it would be for you to say a quick prayer that all will go well with her, the mom, and even the dad!

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year, and the best part about it was....ALL THE STUFF I GOT!!! : ) Just Kidding!

We loved the family time we got with everyone! I think the winners from Christmas were Chase and Elizabeth Anne. Elizabeth Anne got new clothes, a music box, a toy chest, books, and a chest of drawers!

And Chase wants to thank Santa for his new bone.
