Kinlee gets baptized

We baptized our sweet little Kinlee the first weekend in September. It was a great day... we got to be the first baptism in the stake and the only one from our ward so it turned out perfectly. Afterwards, we had lunch over at the clubhouse and enjoyed hanging out with family and friends. Here are some pics below...

OLD PEOPLE CONCERT

SO LAST SATURDAY JILL AND I WENT TO SEE JACK JOHNSON AT THE USANA AMPITHEATER IN SALT LAKE. IT WAS A GOOD CONCERT AND HE JAMMED FOR CLOSE TO TWO HOURS. WE HAD GOOD SEATS AND COULD SEE THE STAGE REALLY WELL. I MUST ADMIT IT WASN'T QUITE THE RAGING CONCERT THAT I AM USED TO, BUT IT WAS A NICE EASY GOING CONCERT. WE DIDN'T FEEL TO OLD BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE WERE OUR AGE.

HOLY COW WE ARE GETTING OLD

This summer was Jills and mine 20 year high school reunions. Were has all the time gone. Mine was up in Canada and Jills was held up at Snowbird. We attended both and had a good time. One thing i did notice is that Jill is aging very gracefully and looks as good today as when i married her. (me not so much)

DUDE WAKESURFING

I THINK AT THE TIME DUDE THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA, BUT HALFWAY THROUGH HE CHANGED HIS MIND AND GOT A LITTLE CONCERNED. GOTTA LOVE THAT LITTLE WHITE HAIR.

SERIOUSLY,,, NO MORE M+M PEANUTS FOR ME.

So for July 24th we decided to run in the 10k Pioneer race in Orem. We did well and had fun, this race was harder than the rest, the first two miles were straight up timp hill which wasn't fun, but once we crested out it was all downhill from there. It took us both a minute longer than our last race but we will blame it on the hill. The temperature was just right and there were a lot of people running this year. Anyways it wasn't too bad, our next race is called the "dirty dash" and is in midway next month. It is a six mile army obstacle course and doesn't look fun. So we had better get training and lay off the m+m peanuts for awhile.

THE MANY FACES OF "DUDE"

Christian our youngest has the unique nickname of dude. He likes his nickname. If people ask him what his name is he says "I DUDEY". Anyways he is 2 1/2 and is really starting to enter his terrible twos. He plays hard and sleeps even harder, so here are a few pics in a typical day of the dude.

THE 4TH AT THE CABIN

Well another 4th of july came and went. We spent it at the cabin as usual, lots of food, lots of cousins and too much of my sisters. Jill didn't go this year because of family reunion stuff she attended down here. So it was just me and Dylan and Kinlee. Kinlee learned to wakesurf this year and did really well. Dylan wakesurfed and wakeboarded as usual and is getting quite good. Oh well, here are some pics of the little rug rats doing what they like best. We are going up there the first week of August. It's hard to beat Montana, it is so beautiful up there.

RUNNING AT 38

Over the weekend Jill and I did another little 10k up in park city. We were both able to shave a few minutes off our time and felt great after. It was fun and we are slowly getting faster. Actually the fun part was leaving the kids at home (Thanks Uncle Jon). We plan on doing the Pioneer 10k in a few weeks and I am training on getting down in the 40's for my time if I can only lay off the Twinkies and HOHO's till then.

Future baseball player

Here is Kaitlyn, my future baseball player. We were at Kinlee's game the other day and she decided she wanted to try on the batting helmet. It's a tad big on her :) hee hee. She wants to do anything Kinlee does. Kinlee isn't too thrilled about it, but I think it's a big compliment to her big sister. :)

Happy birthday Joel!

So today Joel turns 38 and he looks better than ever! He's been working hard at the gym and losing more weight so now he is down by 35 pounds. Joel is my best friend and sweetheart... provides for me and the kids and works very hard for us. We love you Joel (Daddy)... From Jill and the kids. :)
