T-BALL!!

I wanted to sign Talyn up for Fall T-Ball but he missed turning 3 by Sept. 5. However, our friend Jeremy Tomsick is the coach and he gave us a call saying they had an extra spot on their team and to just bring Talyn. I was so excited. All I can say is hillarious!! His first game was so entertaining...I just loved watching him try and figure out the game. Hitting the ball is not a problem for him, although hitting off a T is new because we have been pitching to him since he was 18 months old. However, base running is something we are going to have to work on! Here are a few pics and a video that is worth a thousand words!

Trip to Dallas!

Corey had the opportunity to go to the BYU vs Oklahoma game. His best friend Paul owns Mountain Crane and the company was able to snag several tickets. Corey, Paul, Cody, Jeff and a few others enjoyed a fun and exciting trip to Dallas. They enjoyed a day of golf ane then headed to the game. What an exciting game to be a part of. Thanks Paul!

2009 Summer Activities!!

So I have been a huge slacker with updating our blog. I just want to give a quick overview of what we have been up to this Summer. I have been busy with work at the Fire center but also the last 8 months I have been working on an Indian artifact case with BLM Law enforcement and the FBI. This opportunity has just fueled my passion for law enforcement!

Corey has been running around like a chicken with his head cut off...trying to run his fertilizing company and run the car wash as well. Needles to say he has still found time to golf and play softball!!

Talyn is growing so fast, I can't believe he will be 3 in a couple of weeks. He has such a sweet personality that adds so much to our little family! Don't get me wrong, people don't use the term "terrible two's and three's" for no reason. Set those difficult moments adside I just love watching him discover new things each day, and hearing the silly things he says!

Although we have both been very busy with work, we have still found time to enjoy our Summer some what. Talyn enjoyed his swimming lessons this year and did a great job. We had a blast on our annual friends boating trip. This was our 7the year taking this trip. We missed Andy & Kelly this year! Unfortuantely, we did not use the boat as much this Summer as we would have liked... just to busy. We of course made several trips to St. George for softball tournaments. We love visiting St. George, we have several very close friends that live down there so it is always nice to see them. We were able to enjoy our trailer for a short camping trip. Corey had a great opportunity to go to the BYU vs Oklahoma game!! Thanks to Mountain Crane and his best friend Paul for the trip! Corey and I even found time to do an exercise boot camp. Check out Wasatch Adventure Boot Camp. Our friend Brad Behle is the owner and it is great program. We just enjoyed spending lots of time with our good friends Paul & Courtney, Cody & Angie, and Alex and Stacie. Our kids all have so much fun together. Last but surely not least Corey and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on August 20th. Wow!! We have grown and learned so much in the last 10 years and look forward to many more years to come.

Here are a few pics of the Summer's activities!

Sand Dunes

Easter weekend we dediced to head down to the Dunes on Friday for the day. Our good friend Alex was there and just finished his new sand rail. This thing is amazing! 1300 horsepower says it all!! Lindsay and I thought we were just going for a ride over to the face, little did we know we would be flying up the face at 100 mph doing a wheelee most of the way up! I literally thought I was going to crap my pants. What a thrill.

The Beast We survived! Lindsay, Me, Stacy & Charlie Alex, Ronnie Renner (pro motorcross rider)

Las Vegas!

Sorry I have not updated for quite some time. There just hasn't been alot to blog about lately. However, this past weekend we ventured down to Vegas for the big Carwash show. Unfortunatly, we were uninformed of the outrageous price of $130 bucks per person to enter the show! We quickly decided to skip the show. Instead we took Talyn to FAO Swartz toy store and many other exciting stores. I had booked us a room at the MGM Grand Hotel. When we checked in, much to our surprise we learned that the Country Music Awards show was being held at the hotel that weekend. We stayed Friday night and checked out Sturday afternoon. As we were leaving I glanced outside from the lobby where everyone waits for valet or Taxi's and noticed an individual...I hit Corey and I said "That is him". Corey agreed. It was the lead singer for Rascal Flatt's, Gary Levox. For those of you who know us, this was extremely ironic because Corey is constantly being told he looks like the lead singer of Rascal Flatt's. He was chased at their concert last year because a group of women thought he was the singer. We walked right up to him and asked if we could have our pictures taken with him. He was the nicest guy. He took pictures with no hesitation. He was playing with Talyn giving him hi fives. It made a great ending to our trip to Vegas!

Superbowl XLIII

For Superbowl Sunday our friend Alex hosted a party at his place. We had a great time mingling with everyone, enjoyed great healthy food thanks to Staci. Courtney was up to her usual creativeness with dessert (check out the pic of the cupcakes). I of course, being the Steelers fan that I am, had a blast wathcing the Steelers win the Superbowl!!!

Cheeseheads!!

Sorry it took so long but here are the pics from our trip to Green Bay for the Green Bay vs. Detroit football game. Myself, Corey, Lindsay, Sage, and Todd all went on the adventure. We had a blast and were so glad to be a part of history made...Detroit going 0-16!
