Boating

Yesterday was perfect for boating! We had so much fun getting out on the lake and enjoying the nice weather and great water. Trevors brother-in-law let us take his boat out for the afternoon so a bunch of us were able to get together and head down to utah lake. The pictures are just of me, Trevor, Vincent, and Derek though.

Oquirrh Temple Open House

Today was a good day. Mom and I were able to visit the new Oquirrh Temple in South Jordan. What a beautiful building! We really enjoyed going through and appreciating its beauty. I especially have been looking forward to qoing through and seeing the temple since I grew up in the area. In fact, I was able to attend the ground breaking a few years back so now being able to go through the finished product was really cool. The Oquirrh Temple is sweet cause it has its own unique beauty and style. After recently going through the Draper Temple it was fun to see how each of the temples have their own different styles, strengths, and beauties. I really have enjoyed the chance to be able to go through these temples. Though each were unique in their style and beauty, both were full of such a peaceful and warm spirit. If you haven't had the chance, you definately should take the opportunity to go through and visit the temple.

In The Year Three Thousand



"... Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook will merge to form one super time waisting website called, YOU-TWIT-FACE!"

Where have you been?

Holy Cow! Its been so long since I've paid my blog any attention. Sorry. I've been doing good despite my absenteeism. The summer has started out fun and I feel like I've been able to do a number of cool things so far. In fact, I just spent the last hour and a half updating my blog aboutit...so scroll down and check it out!

...SIDENOTE ...

This is really sad, but its been such a long since I've done any posting that all of my recent updates wont fit on this page!!! If you want to see all of them...and this could be a big IF...you need to click on the 'older posts' link at the bottom of the page. Enjoy.

Air Show

Last Friday Cortney and I went with Jordin and Taylor's special needs mutual to the Hill Airforce Base air show. It was sooo cool! The kids loved it and the planes they had doing tricks were pretty awesome. The highlight of the show were the Thunderbirds. We couldnt believe how fast and accurate and together they flew. It really was sweet!





Eagle Mountain Carnival

How cool are my nephews?! Last week Lindsay and the kids were in town and it was so fun to see them. Everytime Im with them I cant believe how old and big they are getting. Last Thursday Mom was nice enough to treat us all to the Eagle Mountain City Carnival. They held it at the little park right next to Mom and Dads house. It was just the perfect size for the little boys. Jay was soooooo excited to be there are Rex absolutely loved going on all the little rides. I swear we rode the ferris wheel at least six times! Jay would yell out silly words each time we came round the wheel and Rex couldnt stop "OOO-ING" the whole time. So fun! Here are some pics of Me, Cortney, Mom, Lindsay, and the boys.












Ashley's Hat Trick





While Cortney's family was in town they threw a 'hat trick' party for Cortney's older sister Ashley. It was to celebrate Ashley getting her MBA, giving birth to her second child (garbage can stinky), and having her 30th birthday. Nice Job Ash! These are a few pictures from the shin dig.

Memorial Day

Bees Game




I love Bees games...another favorite thing of mine about summer. I love the laid back atmosphere and culture of going to a ball game. Wednesdays are usually dollar hot dog nights so we love going, getting a couple of cheep dogs, and just hanging out on the grass. The best thing about the last game we went to was that we got on the jumbotron 'kiss cam'! We were laughing so hard about it...especially since Cortney's brother-in-law and his friends were at the game and hassled us about it. "Get a room sicko's"

Scout Camp with Jared





A couple of weekends ago I went with Jared and his troop on their scout camp. We went to the Geode pits somewhere out in Dugway...aka middle of nowhere. The boys had a blast. The opportunity to dig, get dirty, and break open geodes made for a perfect camp for the eleven year old scouts.

Lagoon





So...Lagoon's still pretty fun. Who knew? :) Cortney's family all came into town a couple of weekends ago and decided to spend a day at Lagoon. It was a lot of fun! Her little nieces and nephews were especially fun to watch and be with. Lagoon is perfect for little kids. Cortney and I loved going on the rides with them and hanging out with everyone. As you can see, we ended up getting a bit wet while we were there.

Garbage Can Stinky Zach



This is Cortney's newest nephew. He's such a fun little guy...how couldn't he be...his name is garbage can stinky! (James, Zach's older brother, was hoping his parents would name his new baby brother Garbage Can Stinky...who knew it would stick?)

Softball!!!



One thing I absolutely love about summer is rec. softball. I always play with friends from high school and we have a blast...even though we're not always that good.
