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.

Lagoon

Lagoon Day with Heidi, Daniel and my friend Noa. The space cruiser was a little fast for my liking, but I held it together. After all the excitement I was a bit tuckered.

Lake Mary

This was our favortie hiking spot this summer. Not to long, sandy beaches, and fat chipmonks.

Utah State Fair

Deep fried Oreos covered in powdered sugar, cows, sheep, bunny rabbits, and a giant yellow slide!
