We Are Alive...Part II

We went to the Smithfield Health Days celebration to support the family. Brynn was in the parade and waved like a true Princess. Mindy and Becca also had a booth where they were selling handmade hairbows. We helped out Shawn by playing with the girls. The worst part was having to play with Claire.


We went to St. George over Memorial Day weekend. Our friends, Dave and Carly, drove down with us. Zed and Alise live down there, and were kind enough to play with us.

We asked her to smile, and this was the result.


We went to Zions, an adult park (where they have wicked awesome playground equipment designed for adults), and to the lake. All in all a pretty good weekend.


Jon grew a lovely rat-tail (Yes - that is a bead). Enough said.

We Are Alive...Part I

It's been a while since we've posted, so we'll just cut to the chase.

We got invited to the Jazz vs. Clippers game in April. It was Ashley's first Jazz game ever, and we had a ball. It was a blowout (the Jazz won), but it was still lots of fun!

We got to puppy sit for The Larsen's one Saturday afternoon. Ashley was pretty disappointed about it, but agreed to it anyways. Ever since then she has mentioned getting a puppy at least twice a day.

We took Bandit out to Shawn and Mindy's house to play with the kids. Turns out Claire does an excellent puppy impression.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!


In keeping with Mexican tradition, Ashley stabbed herself in the hand while pitting an avocado, a tradition that has been in our family for centuries. She managed to damage a nerve, resulting in some "numbness" of the finger, as well as a couple of stitches.

Though the stitches are now gone, the "numbness" is not. There is the possibility of surgery in the near future to repair the nerve, so be prepared to send/deliver avocados to her to demonstrate your love and concern.
