Here Comes Christmas

Half way through the school year and we are headed for a break. Two weeks of rest and relaxation...Oh wait we have cheer, swim, bell rining, family coming to visit (twice)no rest of the weary!
Girls are top in their class at school - naturally - plus we have never been busier. As it turns out coming back to Colorado was the best decision we could have ever made.
Here are a few recent pics just for fun!

What a CRAZZZY Summer!

Yikes it has been a CRAZY summer. In 3 short months, we have moved back to Colorado, been on two long road trips, had two big swim meets, and had familyvisit form three states! Chloe made a huge splash and had an excellent summer swim season. Chloe only had time for two meets but she brought home 5 medals and 7 ribbons, so I'd say she did just fine.

We spent some time at the lake enjoying the hot hot sun. I love summer.

The girls are quite excited to start school and make more new friends only 14 days of lazy days left.

AAAHHH we love to sun bathe.

Spring Break 2010

It is official the Dalton's are finding a way to live in Southern California. Every time we visit we love it more. Disney, California Adventures, Laguna Beach, Family BBQ, driving the PCH, even the sun burns are more alluring in California.

Our week began with a grueling three days of Disneyland and California Adventures, 12 hour days, corn dogs, churros, and extra five pounds, and every ride the parks had to offer. The kids couldn't get enough, they were very well behaved and had a blast. We were very lucky with minimal lines and great weather. The last two days were FABULOUS.

Six hours doing absolutely nothing on Laguna beach followed by an even more relaxing BBQ with my family whom I have not seen in years. We swam, chatted, laughed, sat in the hot tub, it was terrific.

Leaving only because of three annoying dogs at home we narrowly missed the earthquake and arrived in Cedar City just in time for a blizzard and two run away dogs... again. Our bags are still packed, I see no reason why we can not leave Friday for Orange County.

New Cheer Video

Here is Sasha's Spring Cheer video, same song new routine. They are getting better. One mom heart stopping moment but they recovered and Sasha was not dropped, thank God. Chloe has had monthly swim meets all winter and is faster than any little fish in the Cedar pond, she will be racing this Saturday so I will be sure to get some footage up by Sunday so stay posted. Chloe has even been coaching her old momma here in the pool and is pretty good at teaching me how to swim, it has been a lot of fun. As soon as spring comes we will be hitting the track.

Sasha's Cheer

This is Sasha's first cheer performance withher new team. They did great and it was tons of fun! She is quite brave.

In other news we now have a new car. 'Ruby' is an 06 Pathfinder bright and flashy. We will miss Maggie who is now in the junk yard with Elk parts stuck to her bumper :(

Dream Big!

Mark and i have returned from weekend #1 of Sam Camp (http://www.klemmer.com/)

and what an incredible experience it has been so far. This journey is set to change out entire lives and reach our biggest goals one step at a time. We are asking for support from all of our friends and family to hold the intention that we will be not just completing our goals but surpassing them.

Sonda's goals: On or before November 13, 2009, I have 21 paying clients in the family Foundation and have completed the love Dare.

Mark's goals: On or before November 13, 2009, He has completed the first Monkey Band book, 20 pages or more and had 25 or more daddy daughter dates.

Pray for us, visualize us there, give us happy thoughts, lots of words of encouragement. WE ROCK! I will keep an update of completion as soon as we do it.

Our Labor Day Weekend

What a busy weekend. We started out Friday night running the Moon Run 5K. Chloe ran the 3.2 mile race by the light of the full moon and took a gold medal for her age division. She ran it in 37 minutes and 09 seconds. Sasha walked/ran the mile with her daddy and also took first but unfortuantely they did not had out medals fo the mile.

Then we went to a family movies night in St George to see Shorts. Next came Sunday when after a wonderful and inspiring church bible study we enjoyed a relaxing and fun picnic at Yankee Meadows. The girls had fun exploring and the dogs fell in the creek it was great.

Monday morning bright and early Sasha was lined up with her cheer squad to walk in the Parowan Labor Day Parade, of course she was the cutest one out there and looked just like a bright shining star. We will finish off this great long weekend enjoying dinner with friends.
