This past month and a half have been crazy!!!!! But also jam packed with a whole lot of fun! I have realized though that i might be the worst picture taker EVER!!!!!!! The silly thing is that I always have my camara, but I never ever take pictures! So the fun started by Tracie's wedding. The next day michael and I (it was Michael birthday) flew to Utah. Gesse stayed and watched the boys for us! thanks GIGI! That night the lovely Connors picked us up from the airprot and we went to dinner (sorry no picture). We had such a great time as always when with john and ash. I have to say though i was a little worried all night about Ashley becauseright before they came to pick us up she had fallen down a few stairs and hit the back of her head. i thought we might be heading to the hospital but turns out she was okay(I still think she might of had a slight concusion) Then the next morning we left with michael work for Lake Powell!!!! We had such a good time and really great weather except for the last night when it got really windy! I love lake powell and i love being on the boat! Thanks GPS for a great trip!!!!(again not a single picture!) Then I decided to take the boys with me to Arizona. By this time Kade was seven weeks old and I couldn't stand it ANY LONGER!!!!!!! I needed to hold that sweet baby! I was so proud of myself for pulling of a road trip just me and the kids! It was sooooo worth it though just to see Owen and Austin together! They love each other so much it melts my heart. They would leave eachothers side they had to do everything together including all their trips to the bathroom. I think Owen even offered to wipe Austins bum so karalee wouldn't have to! Ha ha ha i dont think so bud!! We hung out, went to the zoo, went to storytime, trunk or treated and played played played!!!!! It was so fun and i am so grateful Scott and karalee tolerated me and my choas! Thanks Lifferths love you and miss you everyday!!!! We came home the morning of halloween. We got to hang out with all the Bryan cousins and all go trick or treating together. we had a blast!!!!! Then the next thursday tracie took Michael and i to the airport and tracie and dane had the kids for the weekend while we went to NYC!!!!!!!!! We loved every minute of it! We tried to do as much as we could but there is just to much to see to do it in 2 and a half days!!!! Looks like we just might have to go back again!!!! We are stay in Cali for Thanksgiving and the it's off to utah for Christmas!!!!!!!!! We will be there for three weeks and boy are we excited!!!!!

The Boyz
these two love to hang out anything owen is doing drew has to do to! i love watching them
everyone tried to convince me that drew was going to be the calm one... not so much... with his high energy and crazy curiosity he doesn't stop getting into things... i am in for it!
owen loves to climb this tree in the back yard
owen likes to be a helper to his little bro
can you believe that face? oooo i love to kiss it!
This is a video i took today and it made me laugh so hard usually if owen knows he is saying a naughty word he has this look on he face like, i know i am not supposed to say this word but i dont care! sometimes we add er to the end of a word to be silly for example instead of saying," silly goose" i will say, "You silly gooser!" ( i cant remember if i made that up or owen did) so he really just thought he came up with a cute little nick name for halloween by adding the er! i am just glad i caught it on tape... Happy Halloweener!!!!!!!!!

my mom looked so hot in her little outfit!
we danced... and danced! it was a party!
look at those girls aren't they so cute!
bridesmaids... not all of them ( we are missing four)
Dane's family. we met them for the first time the night before. they are so great i just loved them
we had to hike ( i mean hike in three inch heels) dane is kind enough to wipe tracie's sweat!
this was the best the boys looked all night! the hike in the woods not so great with a three year old in a white dress shirt!
they were very kind feeding cake to each other!
yes we hand made all those tissue balls! but i think it turned out sooooo cute!
Doesn't tracie look amazing in that dress! right when she sat down in the car to leave Owen ran up to give her a hug he said," i wove (love) you twacie... what's a honeymoon?" tracie laughed and told him to go ask his mom! i don't know where he got that but it was pretty cute!
Also Owen was sooooo excited for this wedding about two weeks before he asked "are jaden and alex coming down?
me " no, not until tracies wedding... and then you can hang out with them ALL DAY LONG!"
owen,"... and show them my moves?"
me " excuse me what?"
owen, " you know... my dance moves!"
i laughed really hard but he was not kidding around! as soon as that dance music started he was out on that floor dancing his heart out. i don't know what i was thinking i didn't get any footage of it! it was hilarious! wow that kid makes me laugh! love you tracie and dane!!!!! thanks for a great party!

Beach Week '09
The Fam (Drew was napping, Michael was at work)
Drew
Ruthie
meg
Sophie
Ani
Dane... Tracie's fiance
parker
Ava, Owen and Alex
We had a great time at each week this year. Michael and I shared a house with Jared and Coleen. Michael was stressed with school projects and couldn't be there a few days and my brother stepped in and really helped out a lot. He is the best brother ever (thanks to Coleen too for making such a great bro and for helping me out a well)! We had seven new babies this year and it was so fun to see them all together! Our group has really gotten crazy but it so fun to see it grow!!!! Heide and Matt were able to come out and i finally got to meet my newest niece Ruthie. I was so excited for that. Having the clarks here made me realize how much I miss them. Having the whole family, great friends and a beach to hang out on everyday equals perfection! I heart beach week.

A Magestic Man
After last years post, I just want to remind everyone that I am just an ordinary man capable of the extraordinary. I have taken a year long sabbatical from posting on the blog, and now I return to give you my most favorite piece, "A Majestic Man". ( I toyed with the idea of calling it A Majestic Beast, but i like man better.) It is the journey of ones man quest to conquer the world. Please, sit back and prepare yourself to be taken on a journey that transcends both time and space, well, space not time, I don't know what i am talking about.
This first picture captures the essence of man's purity. So naive and fragile. The Majestic Man prepares himself for the world by delicately applying sun tan lotion to help him brave the elements. Such peace can be found in those languishing eyes.
The carefree majestic man has now seen the deepest bowls of hell. He has looked into the soul of Mother Earth and has seen nothing but a cataclysm of catastrophe. The man has been thwarted by the beast. You won this round, but I will be back for my revenge. Where there was once a heart, is now replaced by the fiery spirit of a wolverine. He bares a tattoo over his right breast to remind him of that dark night when he faced the beast, and won.
This next image captures the Majestic Man's ability to put the past behind him and throw caution to the wind (caution is in the form of a water bottle) and take what life has to offer. He possesses the rare ability to feel nothing in the face of adversity. When the world hand you lemons, he makes lemonade.
I hope you enjoy!!!!
