Thanksgiving for Kiddies
It was fun to spend this Thanksgiving with April's family and with all our cute little kiddies. They were a handful and very fun. What did we used to do with full day after day off on holidays? I'd be lost without the regular diaper schedule, and I'd be bored if I was merely tasked with dishing food out onto my own plate. And there just wouldn't be as much to be thankful for!
Mini Family Reunion
Everyone wanted to see the new cutie, Mackenzie. It so happened that they could, so we all go together for a day and partied. It was a great time! We had a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who could come! We missed you Anne!
Memorial Day 2010
Memorials memorialized, made, mentioned, marveled at, marooned, macarooned, malloc'ed, and memorized. My! Me mighty miss making merry.
Anniversary Trip
April and I took a childless expedition into our childhood and roamed the countryside in SE Idaho for a week. It was fabulous and without children. We had fun by ourselves. All alone. Together. ... Without children. And we love Dallin.
Merry Christmas!
'Hope everyone has had a beautiful Christmas. It's a wonderful life, mostly for one big reason:
Island Park with the Shelleys
Up North we ventured over the surly rim of the Yellowstone caldera. Such excitement was to befall us, the likes of which we never did suppose. The air was free, flowing warmly; the water clear, babbling quietly; the trees towering, swaying magnificently; the flowers arrayed in splendor, spinning floridly. Obviously, the setting was ripe for a weekend to remember. The Shelley's were awesome, even beyond high expectation. No wonder April is as amazing as I continue to discover she is.
Oregon Coast 08
Our uber-vacation this year was to Lincoln City on the Oregon coast. It was a big-deal get-together with several families from Jake's side of the family. Some of them met April for the first time. It was a lot of fun -- it's always fun by the beach. This beach, however, proved exceedingly chilly, even in July. We all had a blessed time.
Rage of the Waters
Well, it seems all I can do is move my fingers slightly to record our sun-scorched, water-spashed, crypto-free day. It was spectacular. It was, as I calculate, my third lifetime episode of a day in the waterpark (followed by 1st with Ant in Rexburg in the waterpark that is now no more and 2nd with Quinns in Yakima).
Sweet Summer
Here comes the biggest event of the summer... no, really. It was our killer-of-vacation-hours vacation. And it was all totally worth it!! It was fun to go to the beach again with my honey (April for Jake, Jake for April). Lincoln City was fun, but I think we determined to try something new in the future. The tradition was awesome while the tradition was awesome.
In other news, we're back in Utah and life here happens to also be awesome, especially when you have such an awesome spouse (April for Jake, Jake for April)! Our love of this wonderful life that Heavenly Father has given us just exudes from the podcast. Download 'er today!
