Happy First Birthday!

It's hard to believe that a year ago my wife and I were in the hospital and my wife giving birth to a son. It's amazing how fast time really goes by, but how much has happened in the last year. So our son turned one today and hear are some pictures to capture the event. Obviously, one year olds don't really know what is happening, but it is still fun to watch and celebrate.

Champions!

Yesterday we had our championship game. My girls came out and played a very good game, probably the best that they have played all year. They defeated Mont Harmon 55-46 to finish the season and tournament undefeated. I really love working with the girls for basketball and am happy that we were so successful this year. Next week we will see how well our JV does. The following pictures of us with the trophies (one for being the regular season champs and one for being the tournament champs) and of us cutting down the net.

People wanted me to post some pictures of my boys so here they are.

Long Weekend = Fun Weekend!?

On Thursday we had another basketball game and this one was against our in-county rivals, the Canyon View Cougars. I don't know what was going on, but we were not playing the way that we should have. However, our girls stuck it out and won by three. It was way closer than it should have been. My girls always get nervous when the play Canyon View. It's weird. I don't know if I will ever understand a girl's psyche. I had to leave after the Varsity game, but I learned a little later that our JV team, who had lost to Canyon View's JV the first time, also won by 3. This week we have our biggest threat, the Mont Harmon Pirates. The girls always seem to get up for that game. That will then conclude our regular season and put us into tournament next week.

After the varsity game, my wife and I left to go up to Salt Lake City. My wife's sister just had a baby boy, so we went to visit them and to see how everything was going. There was quite a funny story that went along with the birth, but the gist of it was that when all was said and done, the baby was born about 15 minutes after my sister-in-law go to the hospital.

Then on Friday, My wife had to have bone block extraction and placement in her mouth for preparation of an implant in a few months. I took her in at about 9:30 am. She was out of it. They gave her some medications that would help knock her out for the surgery.
Well, it worked very well. She fell a sleep in the car and was out of it until I picked her up at 2pm. She does not remember that day very much. She really like where she goes for that. It is called Redwood Periodontics and they do a great job. My wife thinks that Dr. Summerhayes is one of the only doctors in the state the could have done this surgery since she is a very extreme case. Needless to say, she can't eat any hard foods for a while. I can't wait until all this for her mouth is done because than I can get my eye lasered. That will be a good day.

On Saturday we went to my wife's uncle's funeral. There was a service held down in Provo and then he was buried up in Salt Lake. He was a great man who finally succumbed to Alzheimer's. It is comforting to know that we will be able to see him again, along with all those who have passed before us and that families can be forever.

On Sunday we went to a baby blessing for another sister-in-law and then drove home. It was interesting, during the weekend we saw the whole spectrum of the earthly life. Although there was not a whole lot of "fun" this weekend, it was still a good one, being able to see family and friends, but in the end, it is always good to be home.
