I'm too tired to get back in bed!




One night after Scott and I had gotten avery to sleep we were down stairs watching a movie and we heard a thud coming from Avery's room. So when we went upstairs to see what was going on we noticed that Avery was sound asleep on the floor. I guess she had fallen out of bed and was just too tired to get back in bed so she just stayed on the floor and continued sleeping.

Avery loves her stuffed animals!




Avery loves her stuffed animals! She always sleeps with her pig stuffed animal it is her favorite! Well one night she decided that she needed to have a few more friends in bed with her. After Scott and I had put her to bed with her pig we checked in on her a little bit later and noticed that she had gotten out of bed and brought about 10 more stuffed animals out of the basket and put them in bed with her, and went to sleep. It was one of the cutest things so I had to take a picture!

I love my Daddy!




One of avery's favorite things to do is get on daddy's back and have him go around the house to take her for a ride. It is so cute! Avery loves her Daddy!

YouTube - 99 ballons


I am an instuctor in the relief society, and I have the wonderful oppertunity to teach the lessons from the general conference talks (TFOT). Today my lesson way from president Monson's talk " Finding joy in the journey". What a wonderful talk it was! It talks about no matter what changes good or bad we go thru in life, or challenges whatever they may be that we endure, we need to relish in life and find joy in everything! I was so grateful for the oppertunity to teach this lesson, it was probably one of my favorite talks I have taught from! We are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for! Don't let the hussel and bussel of life keep us from enjoying the moments with our loved ones! Let us remember what is truly important in life, so that we don't find ourselves full of regret because we thought we would have all the time in the world to do everything we want to do. My favorite quote in this talk is "You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you’ve collected a lot of empty yesterdays" let us enjot the journey now! This video is a perfect example of why it is so important to enjoy every moment we have with our loved ones, and be thankful for what we have! I know it has made me rethink what is important to me, and hope it does the same for you! Just click on the link YouTube - 99 ballons above, and it takes you to youtube.

Our Sweet Little Avery




Recently Ali and I decided that we would lower Avery's crib and put up the day bed rail to see if we could start training her in a big girl bed. (Shes a little young but we have heard other people have success when starting earlier) Anyway she has done really well. THe first 3 night's she has never gotten out of it, she does however tend to get up a little bit earlier. When she wakes up she is really happy because she can just hop out of bed and leaver her room. She usually comes out with an excited smile and finds her mom. Most of the time Ali will still be in bed around 8:30 and Avery will come straight to her with a cheerful hello. On the rare occasion that she has gotten up in the middle of the night we have always heard her and she wakes us up. Well this morning when i woke up for work I was getting out of bed and my foot stepped on a large teddy bear that was not in my room the night before, than as I walked around the bed I see another teddy large teddy bear had been dragged into the room, realizing that oh Avery must be up playing with her toys with out us noticing. I began to look around the house to see where she was at...I look in her room no Avery, I check down the hall and living room still no Avery. Now I began to think ok where did she go? I look again in my bedroom to find our little girl had actually gone on the other side of the bed (Ali's side) and plopped herself down on a large pillow next to the laundry and fallen asleep. It was so cute. She probably came in all excited dragging her bears into our room and when no one else was awake decided to lay back down herself. I feel a little bad that neither of us woke up and hopefully she wasn't too sad.

UTES 30 AIR FORCE 23




This Weekend Richard, Dan and I drove out to Denver to go see the Utes take on The Air Force Academy with Jared, Erin and little Kaitlyn. It was a great game, our Utes came out victorious with a back and forth scoring game that came down to the wire. Colorado Springs was a nice place to visit, the Air Force stadium is smaller but in a cool setting built into the hill side. Before kick off they did a fly by with one of those huge refueling jets followed by another large aircraft about to connect. It was pretty neat to have so many Utah fans out to an away game, our fan section was loud and crazy just as it should be. At the end of the game the players came over to our section and one of them threw one of the game balls into the stands almost right at us but a guy 2 rows down ended up catching it. The players hung out by our section and gave their fans a shout out of appreciation for supporting them on the road. I guess we even made it on TV at the end of the game the camera guy panned in on a fan right in front of us holding a sign that said 4 - 0 we had a few people call us right after saying they can see us on TV in the fan section. It was a great trip I think as long as Jared & Erin live out here we are going to have to make it a standard trip to come see and away game at either Air Force or Colorado State. Ali was supposed to join us in the festivities however she decided to spend some time with her sisters in park city this weekend before Penny gets married.

4 Wheeling up to Mineral Basin




Kade and I took a little ride up American Fork canyon after work a couple weeks ago. It was alot of fun. When we got there it felt like perfect weather, after riding up the past Tibble Fork Resivor for a few miles it got cold real fast. mid 40's We decided to go up to the Mineral Basin area and climb some big rocks, I only had our old camera with us and the dark of night creeped up on us pretty quick. You can't see Kade very well but he's there. THe next 2 pictures are of me, we had a great time.
