Olympics / Imac


I never thought that Michael Johnson's WR of 19.32 would ever be broken in my lifetime I guess I was wrong. 19.30!!!! If only he had run through the line in the 100 meters he would probably been 9.5 somthing. Let's get him training in the 400 and he'll probably break that record too.



Messing with the new built in video/camera.

Sorry we have been so involved with the olympics that we have not been very faithful in blogging. Every 4 years doesn't happen everyday and with DVR we ended up watching probably too many hours.

Erin finally talked me into getting the internet at home and a new computer so she didn't have to wait every night until I get home from work so she can use the internet. So our friends talked us into a Mac. We are still learning but what we've learned and used there is nothing better out there. We have loved it so far. So yes we would recommend one.

Hopefully everyone watched as much Track and Field as Erin and I. Thank goodness for DVR.

Big Rock Candy Mountain!!

We had another fun filled weekend down at the Big Rock Candy Mountain!! A few of our neighbors all went down and stayed in a cute cabin and had a great time. We love our neighbors and are so glad that they invited us to go. We had so much fun 4-wheelin and the kids were in heaven playing all day long. O definitely didn't want to leave. She learned how to ride a 3 wheeler and did not want to give it up. We had fun eating out, playing games and making memories!! THANKS soooooo much!! The fam at the Big Rock Candy Mountain cafe!
The actual Big Rock Mountain!! It was very pretty!

O on the 3 wheeler with dad right by her side to make sure she remembered where the brake was!

All the kids in the back of the Ranger, waiting to head up the canyon! Thanks for the fun ride Stacey :)

Take me out to the Ball Game!!

We capped off our great week with a trip up to LA to Dodger Stadium. It was my first major league game and wow was it a BLAST!! We had such a great time. Thanks to my mom who stayed back at the beach house with the kids. GO DODGERS!! They played the Nationals and won!! It was so much fun and the game went by pretty fast. The view of LA, after we got out of the game was fantastic! We stayed and took a lot of pictures since we figured we'd rather do that than wait in traffic in the car!

G and me after the game was over. The stadium was huge!

Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks. I got the jacks and G got a Dodger Dog!! Singing "Take me out to the Ball Game" was so much fun.

Go Dodgers!! The fans were CRAAAAAAAAZY!!



I heart NB in the OC!!!

We had a fabuloussss week in the OC. We did a lot of relaxing and FUN was had by all. The kids were just content to sit and play at the beach so we did that most of the time but we did do some other fun things as well. We love NB and can't wait to go again next year! Taking a quick camera break on Balboa Island, soooo pretty, gotta love the boats!
O and C at the beach. Two happy campers!

Hanging out with Pop by the fountain at Fashion Island, just after an amazing dinner at WAHOO'S!! (p.s. please come to Utah)


The family waiting for our Balboa Bars and ice cream cones!




Happiest Place on EARTH!!!

We had a super day at the magical kingdom!! We traded C for our cute nephew B, O and him loved it and had a super day!! Their favorite was Buzz Lightyear, the Honey Pots, & of course, DUMBO!! They each had their own stroller and miraculousy took naps!!
Don't they look like I don't know exactly who they are supposed to be MAN?
They loved Buzz lightyear, the joy of shooting things with an imaginary gun!! They each chose the mini replica to take home that makes lots of noises and has sparkly lights.


After the inagural first ride on Dumbo!! Good times were had by all!
