Valentine's Day

Lorie was kind enough to agree that for Valentines Day this year we would let Emmitt experience Monster Trucks since he loves them so much and they were coming to town. Unfortunately we could only afford one adult ticket and one kid so I had to bite the bullet and be the one who went and left Lorie @ home. It was such a blast! At first Emmitt didn't really like the noise but once he settled in he was in heaven.

FHE Sledding w/ the family

Since we've been married we have done an official Family Home Evening...oh...idunno... lets just say a few times to avoid embarrassment. We always said that once our kids got old enough to understand better THEN we'd do better. Well here we are and we've officially started.

Last week we had a 'stag dance' and just turned on the radio, moved some furniture and started dancing. I know you are all imagining Lorie busting a move and looking good and then you think... "OMGosh does Asa dance?" NOPE! I proceeded to make an absolute fool out of myself. Of course I made sure not to have any video evidence so you won't find anything here. BUT, we did take advantage of perfect snow conditions today (it snowed overnight on Sunday- so no 'good' Mormons would dare sled last night and Monday is a school day so no little kids would get out before us and ruin the snow.) to go sledding.

It was Emmitt's first time, and yep Ruby took a turn too with Daddy (much to Lorie's disapproval). These videos are of Lorie's attempt to snowboard and Emmitt "sledding" on his bum. Enjoy!

Thanks Trish

Recently we went to California for Christmas thanks to Grandma-Claus. While we were there we were able to take advantage of my OLDER sister's ability to make people look better than they look in person.



We entered this photo in the Regis & Kelly baby contest. Hopefully they give it a good look.

You can tell by how white we all are that we are not native to sunny CA.

Diet Coke w/ Lime... Suck one!

Hello my freinds hello...

Sorry we went underground for a while. We've got a lot of catching up to do so there should be plenty of "posts" coming for those few of you who haven't had your Emmitt & Ruby fix. Here are a bunch of fun videos from Christmas and random other stuff.

I know I'm sort of brain washing Emmitt, but it's so cute. If you haven't heard him sing the cougar fight song then you haven't lived. Here's a video of him doing his favorite thing at the stadium... Still don't know if they got the first down or not?

Happy Halloween

It's been a while, but so much has been going on from tests at school to therapy sessions over BYU losing. (Thanks for the phone call Jason Swift!!!)

I decided the morning of Halloween to not be a stick in the mud and dress up, only problem is that I was limited to what was in my closet. I decided to dress up as a golfer. Boring I know, but it was still not too bad for work. The kids were adorable as ever and Emmitt was cracking us up as he started to understand what Halloween was all about. Emmitt was Dash from the Incredibles although he was dressed up earlier in his own rocker costume that he made up. And Ruby was a little teddy bear.
