Guilty Pleasures

I think in a previous life I may have been an F-Chick because I love Freestyle Motocross. It is really hard for me to pass up a chance to go. So, I usually don't and Saturday was no exception.

Nick Dunne definitely had the most original trick: The Captain Morgan

And we even stayed to get autographs from these role models.

MLK Weekend Fun

Thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. we were able to enjoy a 4 day weekend in sunny St. George. We, of course, started out the trip by looking at homes. This has become a trend in our trips down south, maybe by the time we retire we will have figured out what we actually want and be ready to buy one.

The next day we enjoyed visiting Creepy Colorado City. What a crazy place, we tried to be friendly and wave at the little polyg kids, but they ran and hid from us. Maybe we looked like government workers. How do you live in an unfinished home with 25 other people?

We had lunch at the Hurricane City Park, where Cassidy hooked up with a Pioneer family.

We also did a little hiking in Zions National Park. The signs said "No dogs allowed," but that just seemed silly. Who would not allow our pretty dog?

Brian thinks Zions is one of the prettiest places on earth. (He thinks that about alot of places.)

Colin did come home with wet shoes. What a surprise.

The ice, snow and mud made for some adventurous hiking.

All in all it was a very stress free weekend enjoyed by everyone who participated.

Brian's New Toy

How could he pass it up? With all the year end rebates and incentives they were practically giving it away.


Driving with Colin is extra enjoyable, he now will point out every F150, 250 and 350 on the road. Sometimes he will even throw in a Dodge Ram, just to make sure you are paying attention.

Geeky Jazz Fans

So, I know the throwback jerseys are way cool. But really does anyone, besides Paul Millsap, look good in this color? NO!!

I guess the players like it because this green makes you appear larger than you actually are and if you are playing basketball that is a good thing. But if you are just sitting watching the game, appearing larger is not really an advantage.

And what up with the freaky eye stare?? Oh well, It was the best game of the year.

A Little Christmas Cheer

Without Colton to wake us up at 5:00 am, our Christmas morning didn't start until 8:30. At the MTC, Colton made his companions wake up at 6:00 am to open presents.

Tulo was trying his hardest to get in on the fun.
The feared had finally happened: Colin did not get off Santa's naughty list before Christmas and ended up with COAL!

Nothing says Christmas like a can of Rainbow Chip Frosting in your stocking.

Bryson was excited about his vibrant, silky boxer briefs!!

Brian was excited with his Official MLB Mother's Day/Breast Cancer Awareness Bat.

The shirt says it all.

What do you get the BYU fan who has everything???

The best Christmas gift of all: A Brazilian Visa. Colton's visa came through Monday, Dec 28th. He left for Brazil Tuesday, Dec. 29th. Arriving in Brazil Wednesday, Dec. 30th!!
