Could it be more FUN???

So we took our kids out of school and went to S. Cali. for a vacation. We have a little family tradition that when a child turns 8, then we have an extra special family birthday celebration and we go somewhere fun. The kids have been saving their "Mom & Dad" dollars to pay for tickets to Disneyland. Against Ben's advice, we bought 2-day hopper passes. The drive down was fun (thanks Aikens in St. George) and short compared to our long trips from Dallas to Utah. Ben flew down and met us (after dominating in the BYU intersquad-decathlon). We spent two fun filled days watching our kids feel the magic. From Disney princesses to Jedi Training and Darth Vader...it was an amazing experience...that we can't wait to repeat!

Wow Walt...who knew that a goofy looking mouse could lead to all of this!

Where's my Hairspray??

So our wonderful family (Mom, Megan, Nate & Tami) watched our kids so that I could go to New York with Ben and the BYU Track team. It was a fun get-a-way, and I am already looking forward to next February! We got to see Hairspray and Wicked on Broadway and we got to visit the Statue of Liberty...unfortunately they don't let you climb to the top of her crown anymore...but I got the t-shirt! Then we rented wave runners and rode all around the Hudson river in wetsuits...oh wait, jk that was on Hitch...oops! Anyway, it was a blast. Happy 13th Anniversary Smooch! I love you!

Do I really want to start this?

I love to read the posts put out by our family and friends...but do I even dare attempt? Not only to do I lack creativity and ingenuity ... I lack time! Aagh!

In an effort to do better, here goes nothing!
