Fall

Addie Mae and I had nasty colds this weekend. I could not stand missing out on the changing leaves and autumn sunshine, so Friday we took a drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon for a walk. I love this time of year it's a sweet break from the oppresive heat of summer and the bitter cold of winter. I recommend that all of you take a minute to enjoy this magical time of year!

Improvised Gymnastics

Addie Mae has recently learned to somersault, it seems I could use some practice. Like most dads, I want nothing more than to impress my daughter on a daily basis, how else can I be sure to maintain my status as her number one man. To do so I thought I could put together a routine that would surely dazzle her mind, a somersault into handstand, using the wall as an anchor. I testify to the sound execution of my routine, the wall however could not absorb the magnificance of such a maneuver. However, I will say that Addie Mae was still quite impressed.
