The past few years Scott and I have really enjoyed watching the Tour de France bike race. So much so that I really missed it when it ended this year….I think I was having withdrawals.

To ease my symptoms we decided to go see the Tour of Utah, much of which was held in our home town this past week. It is known as the toughest stage race in the world, and after watching the riders this week, I can believe it.

Some of the worlds best bike riders were here for it including, Levi Leipheimer, Christian Van de Velde, George Hincape, Tejay Vangarderen and many others. After watching them on tv for the past few years it was a lot of fun to be able to see them in person.

We watched the opening prologue at the Utah Olympic Park and the sixth stage at the Utah capitol building. At the capitol we got to watch them come around 12 times, since it was a loop.

We furiously cheered for Levi to win each time he came around. Team Radio Shack really worked hard and ran themselves into the ground for Levi on the first 4-5 laps. They looked totally spent by the end, but they did what they needed to.

Today I watched the last stage on the internet and was thrilled to see Levi get the win. It was a really fun few days. I can’t wait to see it again next year.

I’m so glad that November is almost over….I’m sick of trying to think of things to post every day This has been one of the hardest NaBloPoMo’s I have ever done!

We spent today hanging around the house in the morning. I’m feeling a little bit under the weather. I took advantage of the time at home to start on my holiday card list and to get bills paid and a bunch of other little things I wanted to get done before I leave for Maui. Did I mention that I leave 2 weeks from today???

In the afternoon we took the kids to see Tangled. Ian and Emma had been with my mom. Scott, Nora, & I met them there. Ian came in crying and it went downhill from there. He had a bad headache and then he threw up. Luckily he made it to the bathroom. Scott took Ian home before the movie even started. But the girls and I really enjoyed the movie.

After that we came home and took care of Ian. I got a few more jobs done around the house and we had a left-over Thanksgiving dinner. I kept feeling like today was Sunday and I am happy that there is still one more day left of the weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Emma was the class blogger this week in her 3rd grade classroom. I just had to share what she wrote about Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.I know I did.There was everything. I had cranberry sauce and stuffed turkey and much more.my cousins came and my aunts and everyone else in my family.my uncles wrestled my brother and I took a nap with my dad.

Look at this adorable little guy I got to photograph this week!

My niece and nephew were born this week and I can’t wait to get out to Denver to photograph them!

I’m still struggling trying to think of interesting things to post…..so you get to read my ramblings!

I don’t really know where the time goes everyday. I feel like I am always busy, but I don’t feel like I really accomplish anything. I mean, here is is almost 10:00pm and I hardly got any of the things that I planned done today. I did get a recent photo shoot edited and the gallery ready–that was my main goal for the day, so I guess I did accomplish one thing. I ran around and did a few errands after I dropped Emma and Ian off and before I dropped off Nora. We went to the dry cleaners and then to the vet to pick up some medicine for our cat. Later in the day I went to Petco because we were out of cat litter.

I spent a good part of my morning designing my Christmas card. It took me awhile to get going, but once I got things figured out I made some good progress. I am always so fussy about my cards. I want them to be perfect, especially because I am a photographer. I think I am going to be happy with them this year! And since I had my friend Heidi do our family photos, I even have some with me in them!

One thing that threw off my day, but I really enjoyed , was having lunch with my mom. It is nice to have her back in town. She spend the spring and fall in North Carolina, and she just came back last night. It is fun to meet up for impromptu lunches and little shopping trips.

After that, before I knew it, it was time to pick the kids up at school. Then the mad rush of the afternoon set in and here it is almost time to get to bed.

Tomorrow I HAVE to get some of the laundry done!

I became an aunt again today! Congratulations to Eric and Beth on the arrival of Greta Virginia and Elliott Ralph. I can’t wait to get out there to photograph them!

Look at the adorable girls that I got to photograph today!

They couldn’t have been any cuter and the day couldn’t have been any nicer. It was a perfect evening for a photo shoot.

If you want to see more I should have their sneak peek up on my photography blog tomorrow. You can check it out at Kerry Sundahl Photography.

So much has been happening lately, and I just haven’t taken the time to sit down and post.

One of the most exciting things for our family is that we purchased an RV! Everybody is really excited about it. Before Scott and I had kids we loved to go camping. While the kids were babies, camping just seemed out of the question. But now that they are getting older we decided that we want to start doing more of it as a family. Scott has been wanting to buy a pop up trailer for a while. I went to breakfast with some friends a few months ago and one of them had an RV. She talked about how much they love it and how great it has been for their family. I talked to Scott about it and we decided to start looking around.

We found the perfect one for us at a dealership in Salt Lake: a Four Winds 5000. (I’ll post some photos of it soon.)It was slightly used, but in great condition. We decided to go for it and we purchased it a few days after we looked at it.

Since then we have been going away in it almost every weekend. Scott took the kids to Jordanelle for the night the first weekend we had it. The next weekend we went to Captiol Reef. We had a great time there! I went there with my best friend’s family a few years in a row when I was in high school. It is just a special place for me and I have many great memories there. It was fun to go back and spend time there with my own kids. We went on some great hikes and just had some great family time together. The kids were just thrilled. They loved the RV, riding bikes, and playing in the dirt.

The next week we decided to go to Moab. We invited Bryan and Mary to come with us and we all went down there for 3 days. The weather was perfect and the guys did a great job of finding us a campsite. We stayed right near Slickrock and had a really nice campsite. We all got to go biking and hiking. We hiked to Delicate Arch, which I had never done before. I also mountain biked Slickrock trail, another first for me. I have to say that I hiked with my bike quite a bit, but it was a fun experience!

A few weeks later we spent a few days at Mirror Lake. We made it a family affair and both sets of grandparents came up to spend a day with us. We had a great time fishing, and even caught enough fish to have a trout dinner for 7 people one night! The weather was perfect and we escaped to the mountains on the hottest few days of the year.

The week after next we head to North Carolina to spend a week at the beach. We are all looking forward to that!

It has been a great summer, but it has been going by much too fast. Before we know it, the kids will be back in school.

I love this song. I can’t get it out of my head lately. Even my kids have been singing it Today in the car Nora asked me to turn on the “Oh, Oh, Oh song.” How cute is that?

I don’t know what is going on with my blog. GRR! I had a post all ready for “Weekly Winners” today, but I can’t get it to publish. I don’t know what is going on with my wordpress. I can’t get any posts with photos to publish. I guess I better go do some research.
