Cub Scout Space Derby

Tyler couldn't wait for his first official cub scout derby.

This year it happened to be a space derby. He was so proud of his BYU spaceship that he designed and painted all by himself. Go Cougars!
First you had to wind and wind and wind (like 150 times) the propeller and then load it on the flying mechanism.
Then each boy would stand back and "pray" that theirs would go the fastest and the farthest.
All the boys did such a great job with their spaceships and had a lot of fun.

Dad's Day

I just wanted to wish Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful men that I have in my life.

Our Little "Web-Man"

For those of you that don't know, our little Austin was born with a webbed finger on his left hand. The doctor suggested that we wait until he was at least 6 months old and then have surgery to seperate it. So on May 14th, 2008 we took him up to Primary Children's Hospital where he had plastic surgery and a small skin graft to fix it. He did amazingly well for such a little guy (except for having to deal with a huge cast for 3 weeks just as he was learning to roll over). And now he's doing well and everything looks good.

"Look at my cool webbed finger! My daddy says it will make me a fast swimmer!"

Austin all dressed up in his hospital duds. Daddy giving him a kiss for luck.

Just coming out of surgery. "Maybe I can bite this thing off!"

"I guess I'm just a one-armed baby now." "What the heck is this thing anyway!"

Off comes the cast, finally! All better now.

Congratulations, Clark!!

I just wanted to congratulate Clark on qualifying to play in the Utah State Amateur Golf Tournament. I think this is a pretty big deal for anyone who is a golfer in Utah. For those of you who know my husband, saying that golf is a pretty big deal to him would be an understatement!! When he's not playing golf, he is probably watching it on TV. So when all that "practice" pays off, it makes it all worth it. I do have to say, it's been really fun to watch as he starts to teach each of our boys how to play. They often go down to the driving range at Thanksgiving Point to hit balls, which gives me a little break every once in a while. Anyway, I just wanted to let him know that although I'm not always happy about how much he golfs, I think he's great! Love ya babe!
