Check out these hot cheerleaders!

After seeing Jeannie play the accordion, Shannon (Danielle's sister in green) really wanted to get in on the fun so she talked her sisters and mom into preforming her favorite Burley Idaho High School cheer for us on camera. Thanks Shannon!

Travis and Kara Tegan

Last week Danielle's brother, Travis married Kara. It was a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple! It was nice to be able to get back to Utah to see all Danielle's family and to meet Kara's family.

Don't bet me. I never Lose!

Last July my Mother-in-law, Jeannie and I had a bet that gas prices would fall back below $3 a gallon by December. She lost and this was my reward!

Gardening

I guess I am weird or something but I love to garden. When I was a kid I used to hate pulling weeds but now I think it is so relaxing and fulfilling. I honestly would love to live on a farm!

Tavis the fish

I swear he will one day be the next Phelps!

Tavis measuring up

A few days ago we went to the Portland Zoo. Tavis loves watching the polar bears. They have it set up so you can see them swimming under water and some of the bears really are active right in front of the glass. The zoo is Tavis's favorite place to go.

Both Jade and Tavis just had their birthdays. Jade turned the ripe age of 1 and Tavis turned 3.

My 2 Beauties

A few weeks ago we went to the coast and had a great time. As you can see in this picture Jade is done walking on the beach but aren't they beautiful?

Rock Climbing

We had a great time in Utah. One of the fun things we did was hang out in at the bountiful Rec center with danielle's sister Camie and her family. There was a rock climbing wall so Tavis jumped right on. It was fun to see the little guy learn to love something I love!

Jade's new toy

Jade has found a new toy. She is such a girl! She loves getting into shoes and other "girly" things.
