Two years went so fast...happy anniversary!!!

I know this post is a little behind, since we were sealed on May 4th, but who's counting. :) I can't believe it, we've been married for over two years now! David is more amazing today then when I married him and I'm sure it will only get better. We have been so blessed with such an incredible marriage. I can't imagine a better man or a happier life.

For our anniversary, we decided that since we couldn't go to a broadway musical or a sweet concert (Salt Lake City has very slim pickings on entertainment), and we already had a weekend getaway for Valentines Day in Park City, we thought it would be fun to go out to a high class dinner in Salt Lake, each wearing a new surprise outfit for the occasion. We both had a blast picking out something nice that the other person would like and then David surprised me with reservations to the Roof Resturaunt at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It is high class, hear you me with every good dessert you can think of. We felt like royalty.

No explanation needed

I probably eat way too many cookies. However, they are so delicious.

Just another Friday at work

So on Friday's most people take it easy at work, or have a casual day or something like that to keep people motivated before the weekend. However not too many places will let you fire a 9mm handgun on the job. Friday Tanner, Matthew (Tanner's sister's fiance), and I drove up around Utah Lake and shot some firearms for a package that was in today's newspaper. I got to shoot a 45 caliber hand gun, 9mm, 12 gauge shot gun and an AR-15 assault rifle. Just another day on the job.

Facial Hair


Brittany really likes it when I grow my facial hair out. So this last week when we went to the river, I decided that I wasn't going to shave for a few days. Here's 5 days without a razor.

Drag races rock, Tim says

So on Thursday of last week I was assigned (by myself since I am the photo editor) to go photograph the media event at the drag races in West Valley City. It was rad. We got to ride in a dragster and on top of that, they let us race some Pontiac G8 cars on the drag strip. Needless to say it was perhaps one of the top ten coolest days of my life. They gave us wristbands to wear so that they could tell us apart from the non-media so we could go pretty much anywhere we wanted.

BYU swim team commercial

Recently the BYU swim team decided to have some commercials filmed for recruiting and promotional purposes. It was a lot of fun being able to participate. For two nights we were in the RB pool until about 1am filming for this commercial. Brittany came to watch and took some video of her own, so this is as close to pirated footage as it comes. Take a sneak peak at some commercial filming.

My first swim meet of the summer

So this weekend was my first swim meet of the season. It was the first time since July 2004 that I swam in a meeter pool and so I was a little intimidated to get back into the saddle. I'm sure that I wasn't the only one who was intimidated since this was an open meet, and anyone could sign up. I was racing a 12 year old kid in the lane next to me. We were probably both glad to just finish the race.

Riding Bikes


Saturday Brittany, Amber, Myra and Mark and I went bike riding down Provo Canyon for fun. Oh and what fun we had. Brit kept getting mad that I was taking all these pictures and videos of her riding her bike, but I was just having so much fun. Anyway, it was raining all day and it finally stopped when we got to the top of the canyon and began riding down. We only had 4 bikes, so I had to ride my longboard, but I didn't mind. Anyway, enjoy the post.

My Cute New Haircut

I chopped off all my hair and no, I didn't donate it. I know, I'm a jerk but the truth is they only accept "virgin" hair and I have definitely dyed my hair in my lifetime a time or two. I have been meaning to post pictures since last Tuesday when I cut it, but I had to wait for a good hair day and then get David to take one, so alas...below are some pictures. I haven't quite figured out how to style it yet, but I'm learning quick. I showed my stylist exactly what I wanted it to look like from a Katie Holmes google search and she cut it fabulously, but I can't seem it get it to look the same ( I think it has more to do with my lack of expertise than it does the cut :)). The last picture is my attempt at trying to make it crazy like Katie's and a picture of her cute hair is below as well. Maybe someday soon I can get it to look like that, but for now I am thrilled with how cute it turned out. It's been a fun change and is definitely the shortest I've ever gone. P.S. David LOVES it!!

I love toddlers!!

Aren't they sweet? I love toddlers, it is definitely my favorite age. So much personality, so much laughter, they are so funny! Trevor and Julia made funny faces for the camera (Julia does anything Trevor does, she looks up to him so much!) and Connelly is such a good big brother. He's always taking care of his little brother and sister and now he'll have one more to look after. Chair is such a good mom, I'm excited for her to have her fourth! She always takes the time to play with her kids, even though she's 7 months pregnant! These pics are also from our river trip to Parker, AZ.

We love wakeboarding!!!

Here's a few pictures of David and I wakeboarding, and even one video of Dave crashing after a jump. For only going wakeboarding 6 times, he's pretty good, don't ya think? Of course he brought his "camping guitar". I don't think he'd go anywhere without a guitar, it is a good thing he is so good at playing so I never mind listening. The picture of Amber putting the pacifier in her eye is totally legit! The rubber was actually touching her eyeball and chair couldn't get the pic, so it took 10 tries, it was hilarious! The water was FREEZING and it was only 75-80* outside, so we didn't get in much, but this is a picture of all the guys jumping in together. We hada great time at the river last month!!!

Aren't they cute....

This post is dedicated to the adorable Odells. We had so much fun spending time with you guys in Parker and hope to see you again soon! We love you. Corban is just the best, look at how cute he is in these pics! Mel - feel free to steal any of these off my blog for your collection. :)

Here is a photo of Jordan, Brittany's little brother jumping over the wake at the river this past weekend. We had a great time, just wish the wind could have been a little calmer. Jordan is getting pretty good at wakeboarding these days.
