Welcome Home Brad!

My Brother Brad recently returned home from his mission to Independence, Missouri. We are all very proud of him and are very excited he is home.

Whoa Too Close!

Backtracking to February 2009

We have Deacon do 20 push-ups before we get him out of his crib.

Deacon loves his Saturday morning rock-out sessions.

He chose the T-shirt.

What was in the chicken pot pie.

He drank that whole bottle of Pepsi - The kid has good taste, what can I say?

Ready for Church

Morning Pushups. That is sweat on his chin ... not drool.

Oh the drug apple. Yum. He loves that thing.

Buckcherry, Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach and Saving Abel

Jaspy and I attended the concert with the above bands this past Wednesday night. It was awesome. Not as awesome as Skindred, Sevendust and Disturbed at Saltair the Wednesday prior, but it was great nonetheless.

Avenged Sevenfold and Papa Roach completely stole the show from Buckcherry. We had seen Buckcherry open for Three Days Grace last year at Saltair, in which Buckcherry stole the show from the headliner. I got wrecked in the pit during Papa Roach's "Broken Home". Their lead singer, Coby, screamed at the top of his lungs that he wanted to see blood and I obliged. I got elbowed square in the back of the neck and then speared center mass. I was able to recover while Avenged was setting up and then worked by way up to the second row during their set (close enough to snag a pick).

Both Avenged and Papa Roach played quite a few songs that I had not heard prior to the show, but they were great live and were all awesome showmen.

Buckcherry was "good, not great" - Dwight Schrute. They played too much soft stuff after the prior bands had got the crowd all pumped up. Many of the crowd either sat down or left in the middle of their set. The only highlights of their set were the sweet videos/animations on the large screen in the background and their playing of "Lit Up" the third song in - should have ended on it. Instead they ended on a ballad that it was obvious nobody had heard - big mistake.

All in all we had a blast and are still recovering - a good sign of any good concert in my book.

These Looks Are Classic!

Deacon Update

Deacon is doing extremely well. He still does not sleep much, but he has a smile on his face much of the time and has begun to laugh a little.

My Bro Got Hitched

Jeff got married this past Friday (September 19) in the Timpanogas Temple. It was really nice to see mutual friends and of course family. A fun time was had by all. Below is a picture of both families at the head table at the luncheon.

There are worse things ... I guess.

Deacon is so awesome. It is amazing how much you can grow to love someone over such a short period of time.

With Kathryn - Does it seem like he is always sleeping?

Once Again It Has Been For--evvvvvv-errrrrrr Since My Last Post

I apologize to all my faithful readers for the 2 year+ hiatus from the world of blogging. It has not been for a lack of material to write about, but just a lack of memory. It is time for me to step up my game and provide anybody subscribing to this blog or who casually happens upon it some worthwhile information. Let the games begin ... again.

I've got some new ideas

I love writing on my blog, but just never remember to keep it updated. Anyway I have a couple of areas I am going to try to add so that more people will come in contact with it and it will be more interesting for those who do read.

I am going to add a section with my Elder's Quorum (Church) lessons. Another section of Music, movies and tv shows that I have recently listened to and watched. Lastly a section of interesting news that I read.

That's all I've got for now.
