Dallas Trip (Numero Dos) & the Infamous Tortilla Dessert

For Erin's second trip down to Texas, we got one of Ryan's (and now Erin's) favorite things, hot fresh tortilla from the local grocery store. Something you can only find in Texas. We made our visit to the store and go hot wheat tortillas and cinammon tortillas.

So, I'm sure you are awaiting to hear the concoction we made. We took some amazing hot fudge (made by Uncle Dave) and spread it all over the cinammon tortillas. We then took our favorite ice cream (Half Baked by Ben and Jerry's) and put in on top. We rolled the tortilla and put a nice layer of whip cream on top. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

It was a very fun, relaxing weekend and great to see each other. Erin even made herself a friend while I was at work, Auggie (the Parente's dog). Also, we had the chance to see Gameplan from RedBox and we highly recommend it as a good family movie.

Big Papa Clenches First to 50 Miles Challenge

Big Papa (Ryan's dad) and I have just completed our first to 50 miles nike challenge. Big Papa clenched the victory by running 10.6 miles in about a 24 hours time period...yeah, apparently he has a competitive side and really wanted to beat me. Here are a couple pictures of our champion:



I would like you all to know that I also finished the 50 miles...even on the same day, but waited until the afternoon to run. I've decided that I definitely prefer running in Dallas where the sun shines to Utah where it is snowy, slushy and cold.

If you have an ipod nano, I definitely recommend that you go out and buy the nike running kit (it's basically just a chip you put on your shoe and a thing that sticks in bottom of your nano...it is only compatible with the nano). It costs about $30 for the kit and then you'll probably need a little holder for the chip if you don't have the nike shoes (i think they are ugly and i'm partial to asics). They also make armbands that hold the nano with the nike attachment. Anyways, if you by chance decide to join the club, let me know.
