My baby is 6 years old:-( I can't believe it. We went to a movie, the pool and a few friends got to have a sleep over. <br />He is going into first grade this year...."sigh" I am not okay having my kids grow up so fast. <br />Anyone who knows Colin knows he is a mini Steve. Although I'm not sure where his hunting fascination and tracking animals comes from, I blame that one on Utah. <br />He is the funniest kid and he keeps me smiling, just like his Dad. Last week I was baking cookies for our usual Sunday evening cookie fest. Colin saw the cookies come out of the oven and started singing "cookies come to me! My cookies come to me!" Funny, at least to those who were present, he had us all cracking up. <br />This morning he asked me, "Mom, is there going to be a storm?" I answered yes because of the wind and dark clouds (we had a lot of wind & lightning last night). He said, "Oh, I'm not scared though, it's funny, I was scared when I was five, but now that I'm six, I'm not scared anymore!"<br />I love this boy.Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-25455315517063404272009-07-06T10:49:00.000-07:002009-07-06T11:34:08.202-07:00SummerNo excuses. We all know I'm terrible about updating this thing. I thought I would be better about it this summer, but I have managed to fill my extra time just fine. <br /><br />Colin graduated from Kindergarten. One downside to me being his teacher is he wanted to hide behind me instead of participating in the program! Oh well. My littlest is going to be in first grade and that completely freaks me out. <br /><br />We had an awesome vacation to Seattle the beginning of June. We were gone for 9 days. As Colin put it, the best part is "our family is always together." <br /><br />We have been spending our summer riding bikes, racing 4-wheelers & motorcycles, playing on our friend's boat, going to the pool and playing with friends. Here are a few pictures of our fantastic summer so far. <br /><br />Colin and his teacher at his Kindergarten graduation<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIpu-g5O8rCczKdkXgQXCCwLNdu9JidnGU3KoyIuhwu_qqdDgcgN8AmdBOyzlFb5weTraJIJBEYWNZBqQRfMcVwZDoRcubopNHlsbhWNNYI2Yzagcy_2avAp0pXwFWoC7c98RUBqQ35EJc/s1600-h/CIMG1186.JPG"><img style="display:block;

After looking through my pictures, I realized I haven't because not much has happened to report until this last weekend. Life has been busy with the usual family, work, school, etc. Here is a picture of Hailey and Skyler's wedding(the one on the top is one of her bridals taken by my friend Rhett Olsen, he does an amazing job.

I can't believe she is 8! She has been so excited to hit this number, she can't wait to be baptized. I love her enthusiasm for life and her concern for everyone around her. She has so much compassion for anyone who is picked on or has less than her. She is my girl and a huge help with anything I need. I couldn't have picked out a better girl for our family. I picked these two pictures because they are so "Marissa." The top picture is at her dance recital with her fantastic friend and the one below is at her first 4wheeler race. <br />I love you kid!!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVdMEjEbASdS0TrlpZyEYxdzKIHo9-vXDuAQEJy0KywrKZFdZBWukSXt_8-BVY-asnY0nOCWsrUGFxJfq5J9K3SrdGXgL4jjNjdszdxLiAuKyZNjAptbbcYUq7ZoRaUdQl_2ghbe9fZBc/s1600-h/IMG_0333.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVdMEjEbASdS0TrlpZyEYxdzKIHo9-vXDuAQEJy0KywrKZFdZBWukSXt_8-BVY-asnY0nOCWsrUGFxJfq5J9K3SrdGXgL4jjNjdszdxLiAuKyZNjAptbbcYUq7ZoRaUdQl_2ghbe9fZBc/s320/IMG_0333.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288401245632508866" /></a>Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-23320083166643075712008-12-29T11:15:00.001-08:002008-12-29T11:26:23.305-08:00Christmas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKFEXopMsz8CGGRHi8Ynqsll-jYsFwZIYtMEvyTWdIexHk_Dvli7RJO8uINPWuo2vQ-l5peAzBSEDcGyhLiFeBj7gsf-0fpMyLwHirEm2ygjKj1NzRR9lqVze0Ip94x7e6M44l0vtoC3Mc/s1600-h/CIMG1029.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKFEXopMsz8CGGRHi8Ynqsll-jYsFwZIYtMEvyTWdIexHk_Dvli7RJO8uINPWuo2vQ-l5peAzBSEDcGyhLiFeBj7gsf-0fpMyLwHirEm2ygjKj1NzRR9lqVze0Ip94x7e6M44l0vtoC3Mc/s320/CIMG1029.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285294075471116402" /></a><br />These are out of order, but I loved this picture so I had to put it on top.

Julie convinced me to try my first triathlon this year, I then convinced Steve. The biking and running, no worries. Swimming??? Yeah, that was my struggle. I only got in a pool about 6 times before the triathlon, so I have tons of room to improve. It was lots of fun and I'm sure I'll do more next year. Steve is a much better swimmer and biker, but he hates running. The only place I beat him was in the running, he killed my times on the bike and in the water. I'm just really proud of him for doing it. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJkoDij_6kmj7UxURZA22jM-_DQT3UmyG45_lQEFeoZDDwC2FLrfFHNOcv5PXpbOy2MmP7vXdpipYRkxH53q-5jlXVLCfCIzr66WZFBhrBNagtoIcplUuNnG05jxGQYjWflBcpaipAmYJg/s1600-h/CIMG0936.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJkoDij_6kmj7UxURZA22jM-_DQT3UmyG45_lQEFeoZDDwC2FLrfFHNOcv5PXpbOy2MmP7vXdpipYRkxH53q-5jlXVLCfCIzr66WZFBhrBNagtoIcplUuNnG05jxGQYjWflBcpaipAmYJg/s320/CIMG0936.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279381564491262482" /></a><br />Yep, he's a boy and my mom made him a tutu.

Rhett lured us there with his tempting sushi rolls. Well tempting for Steve. My former sushi roll experience was terrible, not very good fish. My friends from high school are probably thinking "Leah likes sushi??Fish??What?" But I have expanded my eating beyond quesadillas and fries. Anyway, I was excited to have the company so I went along. Turns out Rhett makes a mean sushi roll. I really liked it. He made some tempura fried carrots and shrimp. He used the shrimp in his spicy roll which was awesome. My favorite was the one with cucumber and avocado, it tasted so fresh & yummy. So thanks guys, it was a great night.

I love being able to hear the talks that are given and the testimonies that are born. I heard a talk yesterday (Joseph B. Wirthlin I believe) about being able to laugh when things go wrong. I have to admit I have always had a hard time with finding the joy in every situation, especially when things go wrong. So this was a good reminder for me. I also felt like there was a common thread in the Sunday morning session. We need to be more accepting of everyone around us. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a global church and we all have the Gospel in common. What I got from it was that we really need to focus on what we have in common instead of what is different about each of us. It was a great weekend and we finished it with soup at my parents with my brother and sister and our families. I love how my Dad takes the opportunity to bear his testimony when he has us all together. It has always been such a source of comfort to me. I am so grateful for the family I have! :)Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-38303870780544684272008-09-03T19:40:00.001-07:002008-09-03T19:55:24.730-07:00Colby!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYji6ZDjz3teTNC_jAAEu6hyk2YsPVJNcnfzFJKXZlJP2BT6RoFv-AFq0XD8-wzim4xGLN8JFYYF1cDAYEyqx4rDW8Ya8TMEAuUw-EssRanqvvQU9RNazHzQjMI6aFcHC8j7n5j0qig3Kn/s1600-h/CIMG0807.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYji6ZDjz3teTNC_jAAEu6hyk2YsPVJNcnfzFJKXZlJP2BT6RoFv-AFq0XD8-wzim4xGLN8JFYYF1cDAYEyqx4rDW8Ya8TMEAuUw-EssRanqvvQU9RNazHzQjMI6aFcHC8j7n5j0qig3Kn/s320/CIMG0807.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241990894519709394" /></a><br /><br />Happy Birthday Colby! Okay, so I'm a few weeks late, but in my defense I have been planning on updating my blog with an ode to Colby for the past few weeks. :) <br />10 years old, I can't believe it. He has turned into such a great kid. I thought this was the perfect picture because Colin adores his big brother and Colby is so kind to him. Colby is very patient with him and lets him tag along whenever he wants. He loves reading and can burn through a book faster than most adults. I love his imagination and the stories he comes up with. I think he should start his own blog just as a creative outlet. Anyway, I love you Colby! Thank you for being such a great kid, you make it easy to be a Mom.Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-70369689990799137152008-07-30T20:43:00.000-07:002008-11-18T17:04:52.940-08:00Happy Birthday!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxlJDYtZMvqXTgDWqeU_ZXSoNbZCcb80092me2DwBN0tu7cBqMRu4mtfzhkTKs3oL_07K7p6xzwf8HHvC6Vz7o4x9EXJxNGa2ol_6d4rQVGqdbg69oWl6OiWmpd8dG4m2MKJVRlm7jUcC/s1600-h/CIMG0682.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxlJDYtZMvqXTgDWqeU_ZXSoNbZCcb80092me2DwBN0tu7cBqMRu4mtfzhkTKs3oL_07K7p6xzwf8HHvC6Vz7o4x9EXJxNGa2ol_6d4rQVGqdbg69oWl6OiWmpd8dG4m2MKJVRlm7jUcC/s320/CIMG0682.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229020047054076034" /></a><br />My little man turned 5 today! I can't believe how old he is, honestly, the time went way too fast. He is such an amazing little person. He is the most responsible 5 year old I have ever known, he always puts everything where it belongs, flushes the toilet and washes his hands (without being reminded), and always turns out the light when he leaves the room. I love how silly he can be and the hilarious one-liners he delivers (yep, he is just like his Dad). I feel truly blessed to have him in our family, he brings so much happiness to our home. Plus he always says,"I love you more than Colby and Marissa love you." Happy Birthday to my most favorite 5 year old ever! :)Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-41966451180446317162008-07-22T14:35:00.000-07:002008-11-18T17:04:53.482-08:00BadwaterMy friend Jarom raced in the Badwater Ultramarathon last week. It starts in Death Valley and ends up at the Mt. Whitney portal. I was part of the crew and was able to pace him for about 45 miles of the race. The entire race is 135 miles! It was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced. I have never been so tired (only one hour of sleep during the entire race) but I loved every minute. Here are a few pics I took, but I really didn't have much time to take pictures. Our driver Rob Schopke took pictures and created a website from his truck as the race was going on. I thought he did a great job, so go to his website to get a better idea of what the race was like. <a href="http://www.triracer.com/">www.triracer.com</a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBZVxAeZQk8EsqWNfXjUDUY4hB8ORQuVx0I8lA8d30taQgUgu6j4poNC1esWaPoWRf-9vT0o4JLADEHxCet0M-Cir98Q0yQPGip82R6Yv06XARe6yixTFAMM9XBwyVxg7y_efFs1lKyded/s1600-h/CIMG0724.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBZVxAeZQk8EsqWNfXjUDUY4hB8ORQuVx0I8lA8d30taQgUgu6j4poNC1esWaPoWRf-9vT0o4JLADEHxCet0M-Cir98Q0yQPGip82R6Yv06XARe6yixTFAMM9XBwyVxg7y_efFs1lKyded/s320/CIMG0724.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225957997457206466" /></a><br />Picture taken at the race start<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8t0hUPVJOeE_e-HzXz_T3aIGtqlyHg4IYCNHJ9FYwDvOGY03pzcw73YKaRBJbBTH6jN4pyEsO5H9R_-LJ7qDigkwgrqMYTdw649vNjpjQKNukZjUoPtNTJwkLTWynknEVMsvz6Z2f5lCU/s1600-h/CIMG0732.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8t0hUPVJOeE_e-HzXz_T3aIGtqlyHg4IYCNHJ9FYwDvOGY03pzcw73YKaRBJbBTH6jN4pyEsO5H9R_-LJ7qDigkwgrqMYTdw649vNjpjQKNukZjUoPtNTJwkLTWynknEVMsvz6Z2f5lCU/s320/CIMG0732.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225957623544261202" border="0"></a><br />How we dried Jarom's shoes<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKFvxPMHvifJ1JuxBCJk5A-RXyOhycrj1j1vKCIALr1MBGnG7pbfHHp6fYnQBIPBOYKBlKM0RMNQhpnT3T4kgw_ifD5PdpRZnhcFFVK2Dse-Q8v5uvChhKpxGXAxr0SQHUtA2Uf9W_8v14/s1600-h/CIMG0717.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKFvxPMHvifJ1JuxBCJk5A-RXyOhycrj1j1vKCIALr1MBGnG7pbfHHp6fYnQBIPBOYKBlKM0RMNQhpnT3T4kgw_ifD5PdpRZnhcFFVK2Dse-Q8v5uvChhKpxGXAxr0SQHUtA2Uf9W_8v14/s320/CIMG0717.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225957252746981554" border="0"></a><br />This is Badwater, where the race starts, the little white mark on the side of the mountain is sea level.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizJ3VSv3e0XLOpvfypNgrmyRMjLVH0AWx65v7twBeQRQ-yZ1cDtmgizrqj6JfmriHS3ARxXNaFxUxqKN-q6lPucmYhu8rNb1TCOo_Hcy70FFnq0VrygwUeKaBTTFVfhiEXdL2drK5zSS5n/s1600-h/CIMG0758.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizJ3VSv3e0XLOpvfypNgrmyRMjLVH0AWx65v7twBeQRQ-yZ1cDtmgizrqj6JfmriHS3ARxXNaFxUxqKN-q6lPucmYhu8rNb1TCOo_Hcy70FFnq0VrygwUeKaBTTFVfhiEXdL2drK5zSS5n/s320/CIMG0758.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225956853222860210" border="0"></a><br />The crew and Jarom at the finish line. <br />The video is of Jarom's brother Heath, funny stuff! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.triracer.com"></a><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwCB3uhQpaZJCzr-DIOR_z2Rx1SWP4kUbQ8PTJcqIpK1lN27D4ZeDHuaR9Yn2OSfLuvEISYr_quvVpZ-t7jxw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-42668976916785278892008-07-22T13:50:00.000-07:002008-07-22T14:33:53.509-07:00SummerOkay, so I may be worse in the summer with updating my blog. I thought "Hey, I'm not working, I'll be so on top of things." Ha-ha! But I have thoroughly enjoyed this summer so far. Enjoy the slide show of our various activities. Riding, dance recitals, zoo, Hailey's new puppy, Colin's preschool graduation, Hailey's high school graduation (btw she is now engaged to the cute boy she is pictured with!!!!), gigantic tree hauled in for campfire by Brian, pretty waterfall, pretty rose, swimming lessons and finally my beautiful new nephew Beckett London Turner. <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyfVkiH1wW6EYYGCC3SCJ0NeFZob9Is3C0KyMaUrkhK7rFGgoHrNFPnSoF5UNUdGSPHpe6GASW56GlqS6uIjQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-5357618471812095022008-06-02T22:19:00.000-07:002008-11-18T17:04:53.854-08:00Mother's Day present<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2JeLpEWwKrOMNJ2cEjEIHupK83SMa3VhaWp1ne0Ox8MgthTpKMgTP3axHrABHIAaOsizUPmB615QfEm2Me77zfzIPp82g1Yp2gzt8AsuL9ttC4IBXRoqv_a2hlwQCARoGQzxLp0wXqh1m/s1600-h/CIMG0459.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2JeLpEWwKrOMNJ2cEjEIHupK83SMa3VhaWp1ne0Ox8MgthTpKMgTP3axHrABHIAaOsizUPmB615QfEm2Me77zfzIPp82g1Yp2gzt8AsuL9ttC4IBXRoqv_a2hlwQCARoGQzxLp0wXqh1m/s320/CIMG0459.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207521849516884738" /></a><br /><br />Yes; I know I have a problem, but how do you resist this face? <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9_qqZUhC9wRQJ_f_6ApRl_v__z0Lo0wy3_1sZPiU2bBIwDyu3Dd7ssSPLO58Hv4HfHJ56d3dnhjgUMynbsGpCnPseEuT3uVzKKqCB64wrbBGkSVWimZElLQOuuoKi3TTJ3mFhCtMWIHFe/s1600-h/CIMG0458.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9_qqZUhC9wRQJ_f_6ApRl_v__z0Lo0wy3_1sZPiU2bBIwDyu3Dd7ssSPLO58Hv4HfHJ56d3dnhjgUMynbsGpCnPseEuT3uVzKKqCB64wrbBGkSVWimZElLQOuuoKi3TTJ3mFhCtMWIHFe/s320/CIMG0458.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207520973343556338" /></a>Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-53767896222725949972008-06-02T21:52:00.000-07:002008-11-18T17:04:56.058-08:00Final Spring Break postHere is what we did for the last few days of our vacation.<br /><br /><br />What kid hasn't wanted to do this.

After sitting down and figuring out how much each would cost we spent half as much on the prius (including rental) because diesel is totally outrageous anymore! This is the highest price we found for gas on our whole trip, it was in Cambria, but everything was more expensive there.

<br />When in Rome! I love the central coast, sometimes I feel as though the entire "green movement" is a bit much there. I love the earth and yes, I do recycle and do my best to be eco friendly, I just don't like having it shoved down my throat.

Steve took an entire week off of work!!! That was the first time he has ever taken more than two days since we have been married (even when we had our babies). The kids and I loved having him to ourselves for eight entire days. We went to Atascadero and let the kids see all the sights of the central coast. Colby loved getting to see where he was born. I'm going to use this trip for several different posts because there is just too much for one! These pictures are from the first day, we went to see some tide pools above Cambria and then headed back to Morro Bay to look at the big rock, the boats (for Colin), and have some dinner.<br /><br /><br />This is Colby at Morro Rock<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5-BAWsT9WZi6zPwn4QOvuGKQ9E_lPNPWfycPDqJ3ob610ldjDlNtw_m0z_5EIVnw2XMSyAX_22d1nIe3kk9C5WRLsqEzcybMEab6lj_R68NuFpf-IgqDx_jrhTpEVvySXJ_6W8WDLMp5G/s1600-h/CIMG0259.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5-BAWsT9WZi6zPwn4QOvuGKQ9E_lPNPWfycPDqJ3ob610ldjDlNtw_m0z_5EIVnw2XMSyAX_22d1nIe3kk9C5WRLsqEzcybMEab6lj_R68NuFpf-IgqDx_jrhTpEVvySXJ_6W8WDLMp5G/s320/CIMG0259.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195608869970860770" /></a><br /><br /><br />Colin and Riss- Morro Rock<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1f5zWGAyG2W0F66yUDCxo8jRRfkQVMJmH3ZXUDB1S2apfOhyWF0ilw83t_CGNxcMrBb-dLA5chsnATdhXK1jhdMOOHQ3pk2Gxe1lwKf4TFZEdU4XMBgMwAUvTl-0Eb0a_8VRs7UMIXDnh/s1600-h/CIMG0258.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1f5zWGAyG2W0F66yUDCxo8jRRfkQVMJmH3ZXUDB1S2apfOhyWF0ilw83t_CGNxcMrBb-dLA5chsnATdhXK1jhdMOOHQ3pk2Gxe1lwKf4TFZEdU4XMBgMwAUvTl-0Eb0a_8VRs7UMIXDnh/s320/CIMG0258.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195608732531907282" /></a><br /><br /><br />Just outside of Cambria<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXZKWFgo2KoO0B_zvTphSDwzmvcE0OygPRt8avwHv3KXhCPDINrtZE2MmO5LRnEzWQuU2ajVQAy6ttbO8_EOtQGIHzq3s-pYmX65NnDcnnZTV7x0V2TxSedUhlSkIF6rJCXQ7X5LFK9H26/s1600-h/CIMG0241.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXZKWFgo2KoO0B_zvTphSDwzmvcE0OygPRt8avwHv3KXhCPDINrtZE2MmO5LRnEzWQuU2ajVQAy6ttbO8_EOtQGIHzq3s-pYmX65NnDcnnZTV7x0V2TxSedUhlSkIF6rJCXQ7X5LFK9H26/s320/CIMG0241.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195608436179163842" /></a><br /><br /><br />The appropriate stance for tidepool watching. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJ5bORJUltaKUgOdGNxOdFG-e_3_UVbX5uBuwXFfRZSjYrZi7F59v4Y2Ho41F-GgvW7byoEQndTFSpavvKtPaCvmrbMWGp7kMHod3ySP___As3iojSTP2ZNA50T5AOqTj_QX5yWJrzZZG/s1600-h/CIMG0239.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJ5bORJUltaKUgOdGNxOdFG-e_3_UVbX5uBuwXFfRZSjYrZi7F59v4Y2Ho41F-GgvW7byoEQndTFSpavvKtPaCvmrbMWGp7kMHod3ySP___As3iojSTP2ZNA50T5AOqTj_QX5yWJrzZZG/s320/CIMG0239.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195608238610668210" /></a><br /><br /><br />This was a beautiful little crab I kept trying to tease out of the crack in the rock.

Perhaps we talked up eating good sea food too much earlier in the day! He ended up settling for regular, boring halibut; which he loved. <br />This is a video of a sea lion known as Bubba. He is friendly with people, probably because people feed him often. There was a restaurant a few feet away that brought out some fish for my kids to feed to Bubba, they loved it. In the video Bubba is referred to as a seal, the kids and I now know the difference!<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz1Sxve7tF1PfLKKrANo7lUZIuNHVMkHZeZMZm2olscxkVPsq1gC4wd0tyjvFd-x9HnaPn8k_852w237GV-NA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-21416893368618039112008-04-28T21:14:00.000-07:002008-11-18T17:04:59.990-08:00My birthdayApril was a crazy month! We had a lot of fun. This is what my mean husband made me do on my birthday. Okay, he didn't make me. Our friend was in charge of one loop of a 80 mile desert race. We spent the previous week helping him mark the loop, then the race was on April 5th. It was really fun, we went without kids and camped. We got to watch the start, which is what the video was from. The picture was from the checkpoint we helped on, its David Pearson! He won the race, I know many of you have no idea who he is, but he is a crazy fast desert racer.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO9Gh3wqLjqqgxNJK3GEXMnw5ZiCnlMqbsUi4VjqJvt72SYpjCAk5KaCTmtwPskNIdqjIGnyejSD7EdnqC_nKLk8Qlwbcbw6da2L0veEE39HSisuHXGQ2kEypD1plw14OnkL6UPJX0rJqe/s1600-h/CIMG0183.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO9Gh3wqLjqqgxNJK3GEXMnw5ZiCnlMqbsUi4VjqJvt72SYpjCAk5KaCTmtwPskNIdqjIGnyejSD7EdnqC_nKLk8Qlwbcbw6da2L0veEE39HSisuHXGQ2kEypD1plw14OnkL6UPJX0rJqe/s320/CIMG0183.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194517488716176002" /></a><br /> <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzRvmq398BpJhIp5tRPMKCBS2Y9irlUJ4BVnvAZdhQLVWKXplFMyW-MJIY754TtrdcNj2ieTfd6-CZ1DYJH3g' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-1211614111477186572008-03-26T14:28:00.000-07:002008-11-18T17:05:01.643-08:00EasterYeah camping season!

DeAnne passed away today. She has been so miserable for the past year, we are finding happiness in her reunion with Ron. I know how much she has missed him these past two years. She was the best mother-in-law a girl could ask for, I miss her visiting with me while I make dinner. She loved her children and grandchildren so much, she would do anything for him. She will be greatly missed, but we know she is in a much happier place now.Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-74338615957046867912008-02-17T14:19:00.000-08:002008-11-18T17:05:04.089-08:00Laundry day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBiDh23a2fq5-lSV8x4XZoZtmaGTbAxjBooJ-cRq9OeyJUhwZIAd1frYgkivhYvK5yZSAMoQJ_fnYk_urqgvIuNRDCBwOpAPTMEgTEBhsX8WT2h7lI5_Urj5K5rhlvvnQbOVzjXehSV4iN/s1600-h/CIMG0139.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBiDh23a2fq5-lSV8x4XZoZtmaGTbAxjBooJ-cRq9OeyJUhwZIAd1frYgkivhYvK5yZSAMoQJ_fnYk_urqgvIuNRDCBwOpAPTMEgTEBhsX8WT2h7lI5_Urj5K5rhlvvnQbOVzjXehSV4iN/s320/CIMG0139.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168078053874974386" /></a><br />Colby has been great lately at pitching in on laundry day. He is learning how to sort (one can never be too young to learn!) all of the laundry. He thought he would be funny and sit on the basket to smoosh the clothes down, until he got stuck and realized he couldn't get out by himself. I thought it was hilarious and grabbed my camera, Colin thought he would be a helper, but he was much too small to pull his big brother out!Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-21927241457580917622008-02-17T13:39:00.000-08:002008-11-18T17:05:05.369-08:00California<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEdl-ZEOHXaKs8bmmOobspT7PXq5bWzgabC27KLDIoHu5mw-PQuVn4AuoHYnoUh0Oy9HBT1oLZHOlOiQw5eedWxcR0G6CelgzObAA1hHPPFmH3Tk2EV8Sj9oUN7QUlc8wPvzXOhfknfC-0/s1600-h/CIMG0124.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEdl-ZEOHXaKs8bmmOobspT7PXq5bWzgabC27KLDIoHu5mw-PQuVn4AuoHYnoUh0Oy9HBT1oLZHOlOiQw5eedWxcR0G6CelgzObAA1hHPPFmH3Tk2EV8Sj9oUN7QUlc8wPvzXOhfknfC-0/s320/CIMG0124.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168068373018689154"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj18a8_khCoXrqO8GHq08-n-shjGsEmpsb_F5SfWxTEj8XiX6RwA74DWzaysR4qccl_ahtmDc89jirDcDvtGiKoc2fWOGgnylwmzzRxCUxrd2bLP_qFhbRWRhDDmm6DYhJDGp_6_y-8cPZN/s1600-h/CIMG0128.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj18a8_khCoXrqO8GHq08-n-shjGsEmpsb_F5SfWxTEj8XiX6RwA74DWzaysR4qccl_ahtmDc89jirDcDvtGiKoc2fWOGgnylwmzzRxCUxrd2bLP_qFhbRWRhDDmm6DYhJDGp_6_y-8cPZN/s320/CIMG0128.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168068398788492946"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtCzphSJGrfryKqalrf4-R7zBXIzmkEHY7LX85PSRlygf0v4m6tGcmTFNaOqNHVmviffs_qevcMxHdieg_eVU6rXh7HpKaf41AjlXHztjw48U8B2foRFuAm7L2B4te3KFdi_bHnkPrrzY/s1600-h/CIMG0134.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtCzphSJGrfryKqalrf4-R7zBXIzmkEHY7LX85PSRlygf0v4m6tGcmTFNaOqNHVmviffs_qevcMxHdieg_eVU6rXh7HpKaf41AjlXHztjw48U8B2foRFuAm7L2B4te3KFdi_bHnkPrrzY/s320/CIMG0134.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168068411673394850"></a><br />The funeral was beautiful and it was great to see family and friends.

He went to sleep and never woke up. He was such a great guy, my favorite part of Steve's extended family. They welcomed me with open arms when we first met. It is rare to meet such a genuine person, he had a big heart and was so loving to his family. My heart hurts for his wife Carole and his daughters Jennifer and Janise. He was only 63.Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-35926200466142381232008-01-30T15:32:00.000-08:002008-11-18T17:05:05.981-08:00Sledding<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVMFIeRYTFWY5JrjMmjUtrFPzSbwauzzhV4-UWobCRGPsZlJN8GLL2Y01CZIsWIbkTnJ1Na815Zl2CyvWbm5sBaDlCw2FPS7nvFtlgESrPHoS0L4jadRgfW03Ar-ZFjNd18s7XQiF_iiD/s1600-h/CIMG0090.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVMFIeRYTFWY5JrjMmjUtrFPzSbwauzzhV4-UWobCRGPsZlJN8GLL2Y01CZIsWIbkTnJ1Na815Zl2CyvWbm5sBaDlCw2FPS7nvFtlgESrPHoS0L4jadRgfW03Ar-ZFjNd18s7XQiF_iiD/s320/CIMG0090.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161418438875093586"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLoCdkNhXBWkOYjkalt4G8jX58M05yFnKJR4PvcWajAz8QeMzRYVvfrx_xnrXUv9ot05fgMvzGJubCcz-RopCDWzq3RFicLkAt_620FxFKOfqak1rKe9S-LH-aoixL7p7BwE6kC4A9Ur6/s1600-h/CIMG0086.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLoCdkNhXBWkOYjkalt4G8jX58M05yFnKJR4PvcWajAz8QeMzRYVvfrx_xnrXUv9ot05fgMvzGJubCcz-RopCDWzq3RFicLkAt_620FxFKOfqak1rKe9S-LH-aoixL7p7BwE6kC4A9Ur6/s320/CIMG0086.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161418443170060898"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybF3jJeZsd41oR2PSsPEfh04vRCbH3BuEW7L682PFUwFYkobIetiJ-oQ_f0eHXD4MVhIT8N-WfwYkhB9rSzbx0m0r7u6QMEE7DNmgPIUPgQK2RPiej3gjkmq0LyrPLeAdZbQ2jGH35Z9I/s1600-h/CIMG0107.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybF3jJeZsd41oR2PSsPEfh04vRCbH3BuEW7L682PFUwFYkobIetiJ-oQ_f0eHXD4MVhIT8N-WfwYkhB9rSzbx0m0r7u6QMEE7DNmgPIUPgQK2RPiej3gjkmq0LyrPLeAdZbQ2jGH35Z9I/s320/CIMG0107.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161418451759995506"></a><br />I know; this is what happens when I put off updating my blog. I had so much I wanted to put on here and got so busy with life I have to play catch up! We had a really fun day sledding with the kids. We go to Peeteetneet, the original school for our town. It is a really cool old building and it has some perfect 'kid size' hills for sledding. I also got some fun video of the kids jumping, I thought it was hilarious!<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzAAiPzJ7mhfD6PraifoLaX3kiR9xTTnha-6snnt5MDQadj9w_tI4uA5CubHpTRXw6-dDWSRvSf_JwyrYfDMg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyvq3fqJf6A2J5zEn3AIxARPFQKHC3kqme1rWlgiA7IpeOOBMjAc9vqhR8VevP41ptD351bWJ6hEnEG5ULRMw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwcPGVMe-5L8Zoo4_eoIdpMZsPpAMzqLCHaHi0Q7tA40Qziz_-ZLNe4If48156cu6CJ7w1r4hppAsBAjLd3FA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyAFAf6hwhDZgQ8Sy18H3oN7Zf1Zw0xez7Mwrq7UiiVb4mo-MrdxkCS4BSUqPBnIlocopCIoymh-safYaa-0w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542448517969411735.post-40366846483769352242008-01-30T15:23:00.000-08:002008-11-18T17:05:06.560-08:00Howie!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtzh7qHI2RtqBZoIbPoMjjpzFg1PjO3lJ4UrU8ksgE19x5l3CH1WB7Xvqq0WO69wPDDut772HbYGv9MctBQH6FsLAF7qknw1WqgY6c3CUp8i6bxWKC00SZ9CYlGq8raYpSbxEvQA9sKkq/s1600-h/IMG_0024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtzh7qHI2RtqBZoIbPoMjjpzFg1PjO3lJ4UrU8ksgE19x5l3CH1WB7Xvqq0WO69wPDDut772HbYGv9MctBQH6FsLAF7qknw1WqgY6c3CUp8i6bxWKC00SZ9CYlGq8raYpSbxEvQA9sKkq/s320/IMG_0024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161416089527982642" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuWJ1_90gSXTIKSEZHs-kdJRPcfvQ4sWIMPLGfbm6sH78rNP1K504X0FvKaTGuPgvawnSuIY8FXLWQkZJpMjNwX7jgoDnEj0hbNrijh45MBoreMAAJVvY-Co3pvpDhYXA5PoEc7Of8k24o/s1600-h/IMG_0017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuWJ1_90gSXTIKSEZHs-kdJRPcfvQ4sWIMPLGfbm6sH78rNP1K504X0FvKaTGuPgvawnSuIY8FXLWQkZJpMjNwX7jgoDnEj0hbNrijh45MBoreMAAJVvY-Co3pvpDhYXA5PoEc7Of8k24o/s320/IMG_0017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5161416098117917250" /></a><br />We always have fondue at Jen's on Howie's birthday, I don't have very good pictures but I wanted to put a few up anyway. Also, Jen is pregnant with another little boy! The adorable little blond is her 2 year old Soren. I can't wait for the new baby of the family. December was a crazy month for their little family, they found out her husband Chris has polycystic kidney disease and he will need a transplant within the next 5 years. He already has a long list of willing donors, I just want the best for them!Leah Dozierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08724185965191975143noreply@blogger.com0
