We Went to Phoenix!




And it was all about Todd! (In case you wanted to know, we went a while ago, but better late than never I suppose.)


We drove down. (In case you were unaware, Savannah likes to lick/suck on her blanket.)


We stayed in a hotel. (In case you were wondering, it was Savannah's first time.)



Todd dynoed his truck, Rocky. (In case you aren't up on power terms, that means he measured how much horsepower and torque.)



Rocky had a little more HP than even Todd had expected! (In case you didn't realize that is excellent news.)

We drove home. (In case you don't have a map, it's up through Arizona and around some of the most incredible country in America.)


It took 8 hours. (In case you hadn't done the math, I am 6 months pregnant.)

We got 20+ miles/gallon. (In case you haven't been a part of the tracking of miles/gallon, that's excellent.)

And now we're home and back at work! (In case you aren't familiar with my office, this is it at about 10:30 pm. Savannah falls asleep here about 3-4 times/week.)

I filmed the actual dynoing for those of you who haven't ever seen one before, here you go.




And here is the back/side view for those who would like to just see the black smoke!





And for those techy guys out there here is the graph, for more information please contact Todd.

Happy Birthday Savannah!


Savannah had a birthday the other day. She turned 1 and we can hardly believe it. It seems like that year went by pretty stinking fast! She has been so much more fun than we would have ever imagined!
We had a small party on Sunday with her cousins and grandparents that live here in Cedar City. All the kids were excited about cupcakes and presents no matter whose birthday it was! She looks pretty tired because she is. Like I said it was on Sunday and Sundays aren't ever really good schedule days!








We totally let her devour her cupcake and it was the sweetest thing she has had up to this point in her life!


Her Grandma and Grandpa Welch also sent her some adorable gifts that she loved and a card that she held onto all night!
