10-24-10 A day that will be etched in our minds forever.

Papa Chet has returned to his maker.

Papa has gone through more than his fair share of challenges in the past few years, you would hope nothing more would have been thrown his way. We all hoped and prayed that he would be cured and live forever, unfortunately there was another plan in store for him.

It all started about 7 years ago when he was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, he started on all sorts of things to try and cure it besides doing any chemo or radiation. He fought this battle for 5 years with a wonderful woman Roz by his side helping him along the way in every way she could, but this was all kept secret from the family. We just found out a few years ago about what he was going through and it had just gotten worse. He was diagnosed with bone cancer as well and the cancer had spread through his already frail body. He was always more concerned about his family and how they were that he did not want to burden anyone with his trials. He is an amazing man and has more strength than I could even comprehend.

It had been a rough last few weeks for him and I am glad to know that he is no longer suffering and probably rafting down the rivers of heaven today, strong and full of life. We got the call on Thursday the 14th that he was not doing well and the doctors didn't think that he would make it through the night. Well, he of course was stubborn and proved everyone wrong. He had days of ups and downs, everyone got to come say there goodbyes or see him one last time before he passed which was good. He is loved by all that he meets and most certainly will never be forgotten.

We were very privileged a couple of weeks ago to go on his last rafting trip with him and I am sure it will be a trip that is never forgotten. We rafted the Colorado and fished as we went, the good news is he caught the one and only fish of that trip and we wouldn't have it any other way. My only regret of this trip is that I didn't take any pictures, but we will have the memories.

He is a great man that has a great family that he has left behind, we all have the peace of mind that we will see him again one day and that he is in a much better place. I know he is looking down on us and making sure we are all taken care of. I know for sure I will be taken care of because he made David promise to take care of me and there is one thing I know for sure- David will never break a promise made to his papa! :)

Now that he has passed we will have lots of rafting trips to go on to spread his ashes in all the rivers he has rafted! We sure will be busy!!

WE LOVE YOU PAPA!!

Lake Powell!

As part of our trip to Utah we also got to go to Lake PowellWe were invited by some of our friends in our ward to go and of course we couldn't pass it up! Tyler and Katie carpooled to Utah with us and Brandon and Molly met us down there on Saturday. We left on Saturday from my folks and made the drive to meet up with our friends in Provo. We arrived Saturday night and loaded on to the houseboat from the Bullfrog marina. The next day we made the trek down the canyon to the Rincon to find our spot for the next few days! We spent the next few days floating and catching some raysKatie- top left, Molly-bottom left, Lesley- top right and me!
As well as working on our wake boarding skills! David was way more entertaining than me to watch- he at least could jump! Me on the other hand- I got out and in the wake!
On one of the days we took the boat and went up to the Escalante canyon to do some exploring! It is an amazing place we stopped at one point to climb up into an arch- that let me tell you- was waaaayy out of my height comfort zone! My legs were shaking! Tyler and Brandon stayed on the boat to get our picture in the arch! Can you see the fear in my eyes! And of course boys being boys- they had to push a huge rock down the side of the hill on the way down!

Then along the way we found a big rock just inches under the water and of course had to take the photo op!

The group- us, Tyler and Katie, Molly and BrandonThe weather was perfect, not too hot or too cold at night for sleeping out on the deck- although we did have one day of off and on rain. David did find a good way to kill some time as well- Comfy? he sure slept fine! All in all we had a great trip full of good memories and we can't wait to go back!

Gma & Gpa Baer 50 Years!

September 2nd, 2010 was Gma & Gpa Baers 50th wedding anniversary! It's amazing to see love and a relationship last so long. We were lucky enough to make it to Utah to join in the celebration of such love! They have always been good examples of what marriage should be like and how to treat each other. I have many great memories together with them and hope there are many more to come.

This is the whole Baer family except for the Tooele Baers.

While we in UT we had a few extra days to hang out with the family as well! It's always good to get to see everyone and of course we had some fun playing a bit of mini golf and getting just a "little bit" competitive.

4 Years together with you!!

Thursday August 19th, marked 4 years of being married to a great man!We almost had to spend the day apart, but due to my reminding David was able to switch one the guys to go out of town so he didnt have to! I was going to do a day of surprises, but since he forgot and was scheduled to go out of town I had to let him know what I had planned. We both had to work that day, but after work we went to dinner to Texas Roadhouse. We then followed that up by driving around looking at trucks for him and then going shopping for some new swim attire. Then for the surprise of the evening we went and got massages....I am so relaxed just thinking of how great it was. David of course got a sports massage so his wasn't so relaxing, but he left feeling great! To top of the night we got some oh so delicious ice cream from our little ice cream shop Penguins. It was a great evening and I was glad to be able to spend it with the one I love! We have definately had our fair share of rollercoasters through the years, but we have been able to work through them and always come out loving each other that much more! We have lived in 3 houses, 2 states, have 1 dog and have many more adventures yet to be had. I love you babe!

(This is up at Winter Park- downhilling with Kurt last weekend)

Remember- Olive you forever and always!

Feel the burn!

Yesterday was the beginning of our new work out program P90X.
We will be beach ready just in time for winter! Ha Ha!
I will do an update after 90 days and will show a before and after- hopefully there will be some great results!

Little bit of not much!

So, we haven't been up to much lately besides our usual routine of work, work and more work. Although we have had some things thrown in the mix lately. We went to spend the weekend with David's parents and while there we did go to a downhill bike competition with Kurt. It was all but exciting for me, but of course those 2 were all about just looking at all the bikes and wondering around. David wants to get a new downhill bike, so he used it as a good time to do some research! I used it as a good time to soak up some sun!
Also, while we were up for the weekend papa Chet came over to do some fishing with the boys. Sadly I forgot to get a pic of them all fishing, but thought about it too late! It was some good bonding time for him and David seeing as papa isn't feeling to well. Papa has been dealing with prostate cancer and bone cancer as well for the past seven years and it has definitely taken a toll on him in the last little while. We always love when we get a chance to see him and enjoy his company. Hopefully this last round of chemo goes well because we would love to have him around for a long while. We love him!

Other than that we have started to make some new friends from our ward and I love that we all get along and can hang out together with everyone at the same time!

Life is going good and hopefully we will have some changes within the next year to add a little bit more excitement to our lives!

Ooh i can't forget-he is smokin! OLIVE HIM!
