ATTENTION - There are A LOT of new posts!

For those of you complaining that I haven't updated in FOREVER, please feel satiated that I've gone through and updated the blog with the newest, most relevant events in our family over the past month or so. August was boring... nothing there. But September and October are thrilling.

Surprise Kids!... We're going to Disneyland

We decided to surprise our kids with a quick trip to Disneyland last weekend. We got all the rooms and tickets, and then Michelle went and checked them out of school while I headed home from work. It was fun to do it like that.

Main gate photo.

Wait... who's that in there with us? Grandma! Yep, she flew down Saturday afternoon and surprised the kids for a second wham-o.

Ella and G-ma.

Me, Conner, and Grandma on California Screaming right before it takes off. Awesome ride.

Grizzly Rapids with the boys and Paula. East got soaked.

We're here to @#($ stuff up.

Cheez!

Temple Wedding Day

Brent and Sara had the reception first, then the temple the next day. Here we are at the Provo Temple.

Eric and Bubba doing the missionary handshake photo op.

Michelle and East sitting around.

Easton and Ella sitting by the fountains.

Brent's Wedding

My nephew, Brent, got married this last weekend to a great girl, Sara. It was fun to get together with my family for the weekend and hang out.

Parents of the groom, Kelly and Valee.

Boys monkeying around...

Ladies doing weird things in the photo booth they had set up. This was a quick shot through the curtain.

The girls...

Deer Valley & Park City Trip

Michelle and the kids went to Deer Valley with her parents while I was in Europe. Looks like they had a fun time together.

Catching Up - Ella's First Day of Preschool

Here's Ellie-bellie with her brothers on her first day of preschool. Let's not forget Mr. Rocko either.

And here she is with her BFF, Peytie.

Cowabunga Bay!

Michelle, the kids, and the nephews all took a day with Grandma and hit Cowabunga Bay to soak up the sun in the last days of summer. Looks like they had a great time.


Ella performing her "watch me, watch me..." while dunking herself underwater and practicing her swimming lessons. So cute.


This is Con and Dyl striking a pose before they get "striked" with tons of water dumping from one of the huge buckets.

The boys getting their "chill" on in the pool. Sometimes it's crazy to see how big they get and how fast they grow.

We should be able to get there maybe one more time before it shuts down... because I'm pretty sure they're not going to be running it in February.
