Visiting Family

Last weekend was pretty fun. Chad and Lindsay decided to take a small vacation and come up to Utah for a few days. Having the kids in town was such a blast. I cant believe how big and smart they are getting. It was also good hanging out with Chad and Lindsay. Cortney and I enjoyed going to dinner with them and hitting up the batting cages!! We were out to eat at the India House and got to talking about baseball/softball and up and decided to make a run to the batting cages at Mulligans. It was so fun. I love the batting cages...Ive been like three times in the last two weeks. :) Anyway, here are some pictures from the weekend.






Jay is so smart. He reads so well. Here he is reading from the Book of Mormon (without help) and he hasnt even been to preschool!!

Jay loves the WII...and as you can see, he takes it pretty serious :)

Ski Season Over

Well, the ski season is over. No more Park City saturdays. Its actually pretty sad cause Ive really enjoyed going up this year. In fact, I don't really know what to do with myself today. :) It has been so fun to be able to go up with Cortney each weekend. It was nice to have something that we could do togeter. The other day we went up with Derek and here are some pictures of us three.

This is me skiing down the slopes

This is Cortney dominating the slopes...like always :)


Opening Day

Here are some pics from the bees opening game from couple of weeks ago. We went with the Davis' and had a blast. We also randomly ended up sitting next to Nick Zachman, another friend from high school. It was cool to hang out with everyone and enjoy watching baseball again.

Conference Weekend



As always, I really enjoyed watching general conference this past weekend. The opportunity to see and hear from current apostles and prophets has been something that has really increased in value for me over the years. On my mission I remember really missing living so close to so many general authorities. We used to get so excited when the area authorities would come to France and our mission. Anyway, I really enjoyed the spirit and messages from conference. There are always a number of talks that kind of resonate with you. Cortney and I were actually pretty lucky because we were able to go to one of the sessions. Out of no where our bishop surprised us and gave us four tickets to the Saturday afternoon session. He is such a nice guy. We went with a couple of our friends and really enjoyed the experience. For priesthood session I was able to take Taylor with me again. Howard seems to always get stuck out of town for conference weekend so its nice that Taylor is able to come with us...especially since he cracks me up. Lately he's really been getting into the Three Stooges so randomly you'll catch him trying to mimic some of the pranks he learns from them. Its so funny.

Jazz Game




Here are some pictures of the Jazz game cortney and I were able to go to the other day. Her Family has pretty nice seats so it was a blast to go and watch the game with her...especially since we made it on the jumbo tron. :) It was the game where we played the Knicks and blew a 20+ point lead and almost lost. Its funny cause early on in the game we were bummed that we were going to have to watch a boring blow out game.
