Happy Halloween!






I think it was this past March when Erin figured out what she wanted Hayden to be for Halloween - The Jazz Bear. By far, Halloween is Erin's favorite holiday of the year. By next week, she'll already have ideas for our costumes next year. Even though I give her a lot of grief sometimes, I really appreciate all the effort she puts into things like this that make it fun and memorable, especially for Hayden. Erin was Dora the Explorer, I was Handy Manny with a beard, Lady Gaga was there,Charlotte was a Zebra and Hayden, The Jazz Bear. We enjoyed spending time with Britney,Kevin, and Erin's family. We had some good food, got out kit-kat on, got trapped in a hail storm, and took Hayden trick or treating for the first time.

Help me kick the stuffing out of Cancer

Hey Ya'll

This is my first time doing something like this and I am a little nervous. I signed up to run a 5k for a Charity and volunteered to raise a minumin of $100.00 for Huntsman Cancer Institute. Part of the reason I am scared is because my friend scared me with a horror story of doing this same thing and being unable to raise anything.

Keep in mind $2.00 is a donation. Also if I get 10 people to donate $10.00 that is $100.00. Anyhow thanks so much! Love you all!

26.2




This is way over due, but I wanted Erin to know how proud I am of her for running the St. George Marathon in almost 100 degree weather! She is my hero and has been so determined the past few months to be in good enough shape to finish this race. I know it is something that Erin has looked forward to for a long time and there were many times when she wanted to give up. Erin, what makes me most proud is that you never gave up even though I know the thought crossed your mind probably every time you ran. You accomplished something I can't do and many other people would be just crazy to do :) Your a great example of what hard work, determination, and a lot of sweat, tape, gum, gu, books on tape, and lots of running can do.

Love you my little runner

My two brothers Clayton and Cameron and sister-in-law Jenny also ran in the St. George Marathon. They all did an awesome job and made me think about running a marathon one day for just a second, then I remembered - somebody has to take pictures, cheer them on, and watch the kid... DARN!

David Hasselhoff



My first time in the pool! Loved every minute of it.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"


While we were waiting for the Judge, I told Hayden that this better be the only time he sees the inside of a courtroom. Our Attorney tried not to take offense to that. It was a quick process and after a testimony by our wonderful case worker, Charity, and a short testimony by Erin and I as to our experience with Hayden and being parents, the Judge saw us "fit" to have all legal rights and custody of our little man. The Judge came down afterwards, held Hayden, and posed for a picture.

Case Closed!
