T-minus 1 hour and counting...

This year, Thanksgiving eve is at my folks, tomorrow at my sisters!
I love my parents, they are so cute together.. I love their matching evening wear.



This is my lil' nephew James. He has quite the personality. Here he unknowingly presents a perfect Egyptian Pharaoh ruler. Watch out turkeys, he will enslave you til the death!




My Dad loves to help me out with whatever hair brained ideas I come up. Here he works the band saw in my behalf. I don't use saws on Thanks Eve anymore..





This year the project is some possible Christmas presents.



some of my dads measuring tapes.. only some..




1 short of 50 petals..



Hard work can often result in beauty


And to finish the night, we brush our teeth with the visitors tooth brushes.
Abi is a cute one to brush with :)


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Power to the People!

Here is a commercial Abi and I made this morning with our new friend Ari Gold, for his new movie "Adventures with Power!"

You can come see it this weekend at the Tower theater 900 south 900 East

Elder Jordan Williams

This is my good friend Jordan Williams. He is currently serving as a missionary in the Chezch Republic as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He is tearing it up on the mission field, serving the Lord. He is also still ripping it up on his skateboard on his playdays.. Good to see an old friend, can't wait to see him when he gets back next spring!

Here's an email from Jordan:

New Camera!

Our familys favorite bike shop, just down the street from us! If your in Salt Lake, stop by The Recycle Bike on 900 east, 100 south. They have great deals on old school bikes, and will fix them up for you!







Yesterday I upgraded, from point and shoot world, to the point, focus, set your aperture and shutter speed then shoot world of Digital SLR cameras! I needed a new camera for my photography class at BYU, so I got a nice lil Canon EOS somethin or other model, and a lens that has a good focal range for my style . After one day of shooting, I am hooked!

I love this girl!

Starting today, I am officially a University student at Brigham Young University in Provo Utah. And my wife Abigayl, whom many of you are already familiar with, was a class A awesome wife today. She made me a lunch, called me to see how my day was going, and set up a date for after. Plus, she treated herself to a brand new hair cut! Which, by the way, turned out amazing! She went to a super fancy fashion hair salon called Lunatic Fringe in Sugar House, and then after we ate at our favorite soup diner (see our first date blog). Mmmmmm mmm good. Not to mention shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond to use up the gift card from the wedding, then off to see Up at the dollar theater. Ahhhh what a wonderful movie. It has made me cry in the first ten minutes every time that I see it. Thanks Abigayl, my wonderful, beautiful, loving wife. I love you!

Ow...

The Wave.


The aftermath..



So, whilst attempting a double jack-knife return, I fell down.
