The Airplane

This was Chase's first trip and first time on the plane. He did such a good job. I was so nervous for it all, but he proved to me that he can be a really good boy (as long as I am giving him crackers!)


He loved looking out the window!


The cutest guy on the plane (then it was Brody and Shane)

Peek-a-boo



A little bit of Dallas

This was at the JFK memorial.








More Dallas





I love flamingos!


This was Brody's idea!

This little Sloth was so cute!




The Wedding

Camille is my ultimate hero, and it was wonderful to see her get married to a great guy. She has been through so much and she deserves so much happiness! When Matt went on his mission to Puerto Rico, I knew that it would bless his family, and Camille has been living proof of that! We know and love her through Matt. Congrats Camille! We love you!


Camille and Alex at the Dallas Temple. The whole day was beautiful!



The Jazz in Dallas

We were able to go the the Dallas Mavs game to see the Jazz get beat! It was fun though! I am so use to the Energy Solution Arena (AKA The Delta Center), so it was fun to be in a different atmosphere for a game. However, it was really weird cheering for the opposing team. And like usual, when I go to games I really don't pay that much attention and just clap when everyone else does, and I did find myself clapping for Dallas, forgetting were I was. (Shame on me) The crowd was pretty nice to us, but at the end they would yell at us "Utah fans go home". There were other Jazz fans out there, so we weren't alone! Too bad they lost.





I was too embarressed to wear my Jazz gear. I thought that we were going to get beat up.






Shane wanted me to title this: "For My Engineering Geeks"

This is the "in progress" new place of play for the Dallas Cowboys. It is huge and it really does look cool, even though I don't understand all the engineering details that Shane gets excited about!

Who Needs Fruit, Vegetables, And Pizza For Lunch When You Can Have a Penny?

Where do I begin! On Saturday morning I was at a meeting for work, as soon as I am pulling into the driveway, Shane calls "Brody just swallowed a penny!" I rush into the house and Brody is just bawling! He was pretending to eat his play ice cream cone and there was a penny inside it that slid into his mouth as he was enjoying non existent food. So we called the emergency room and they did suggested an x-ray. He kept complaining that his tummy hurt, and really wanted the penny out! (I of course explained to him that there really is only one way that the penny would come out, so instantly he went straight to the bathroom and was a little dismayed when nothing happened.) We finally convinced him to go to the Doctor's, but all the while he was so scared of getting a shot, so the tears just kept coming. To make a long story short, we got the x-ray, and he finally felt better after that. Looking back it was actually pretty funny and everyone at Ogden Clinic was super nice, they kept telling us they loved us! (Strange!) But needless to say, we are going to make it through this, and this too, as well as the penny, shall pass!

Look at how traumatized!

He actually smiled when they took a shot of his belly!

The whole family there to support!


And there it is! We have nicknamed him Penny!

Happy New Year

This year for New Years Eve we went to Matt and Calie's house and enjoyed it with my family and some friends, Melissa and Kodee. We played a great game of "Redneck Life" my name was Betty Beth and Shane was Cletus Joe. It was a hilarious game! Then we pulled out the Wii with some guitar hero, outdoor challenge, tennis, and Raving Rabbids. It was alot of fun! And even both the boys stayed up until midnight! Happy New Year!
