35th Birthday

Casey and the kids decorated the house for my birthday and made me my own little Happy Birthday clown hat thingy-ma-bob. The kids loved it and laughed really hard when I put my hat on. It was very nice of them to surprise me. Thanks for a great birthday Casey!

Turkey Time

For the 24th of July we went to Moroni to see my mom and hang out with the Blackhams (my mom's side of the family). Uncle Bryant (mom's youngest brother) was kind enough to take us to see the baby turkeys so the kids could see them. This was Diesel's first time and he really like it. He didn't want to leave and was very upset. The pictures aren't the greatest, my camera battery was dying so they're a little blurry.

1st Day of Second Grade

I know I'm a little late, but late is better than nothing at all. Brynley was so excited to start 2nd grade this year. We can't believe how much she is growing up.

Remember when...

I'm not sure who has seen this one already, so I thought I'd repost it again.

This was a trip with Brewer Caldwell deep sea fishing off the coast of San Diego a few summers ago.

Kyle Clouse was doing the filming.

Enjoy.

Oops, I'm a bad dad...

I received an email with a video of Michael Jackson's ghost on it from a friend. Here's the video. Make sure to turn on the volume if you want to hear Larry King comment on it.








Here are the videos of Brynley, Sadie and Diesel watching the video.

"I Love To See The Temple"

This is Sadie's favorite song. She sang it to the missionaries today at dinner, so we decided to get her singing it on video before she gets too much older. (She is 3 1/2) Enjoy.

Mission Beach

Casey Ann's parents rented a beach house at Mission Beach in San Diego, near Balboa Park this summer. So we made the 19 hour drive to San Diego to hang with her family for a week. Very long drive, but... we had lots of fun. I think we were about 5 houses from the boardwalk. There was also a roof-top terrace that you could see the bay on one side and the beach and the other side. The weather was great and kids had a hay-day with all there cousins. Thanks grandma and grandpa!!

This is the Wave House, where they have two man-made wave machines where surfers can get their surf on and let everyone check out their skills. This was really fun to watch.

Getty up cowboy.

She wasn't very happy to ride the carousel (yeah right).

Chillin' in the beach house.
