Zach and Conner

This weekend our nephews Zach and Conner came and stayed at our house. On Friday night we took them out for pizza at the Factory. Jess's mom and dad came with us. After that we went to the movie Monsters vs. Aliens. Jess's brother and sister-in-law met us there along with their daughter Savannah. When the movie was over we took Zach and Conner back to our house. We played Uno until around 1 am and then we played the Wii until around 2. On Saturday we took the boys up to the Big Air contest at Beaver Mtn. We took a grill and ate hot dogs, chips, cookies, etc. We watched all of the contestents jump and we also got to see some of Jess's friends do the pond skim. We had a lot of fun with the boys and we can't wait until they come and visit us again.

Moab


This past weekend Jess and I along with our friend Justin, Bryan, and Matt went to Moab. We left Thursday afternoon and headed to Tremonton to pick up the jeep that we were taking to Moab. Justin's brother was nice enough to let us take his jeep and his truck.


It was late when we arrived in Moab on Thursday so we just checked into our hotel and started to get everything ready for tomorrow. Friday we spent the entire day jeeping. The first place we went to was called Hell's Revenge. I had never been jeeping before and I didn't exactly know what I was getting myself into. I had no idea that we were going to drive the jeep up so many steep inclines. Some of them really did freak me out but I was amazed at all of the things that the jeep could climb. Here are some more pictures.






After we finished at Hell's Revenge we went to a park to
have lunch. I had never seen a park like this before.
It had a whole bunch of musical instrument that you could
play.
The next jeeping trail we went on was called Poisonous Spider. It was a lot steeper than the first trail we went on. At the top of the trail there is a huge arch that you can walk around.





On Saturday we went on a 14 mile bike ride to a place called Gemini Bridges. The ride to the bridges was all down hill but after we passed that it got a little harder. The trail had a lot of sand on it which made it hard to ride in and at the end there was a steep incline. It was a fun ride and the scenery was amazing.

















After we finished biking we went to a swimming hole with a waterfall. The hike there was really easy and the scenery was amazing. The water was still really cold but he boys decided they wanted to jump in anyway.

weekend update

We started this weekend off by going to the Rock Haus with some friends. I had fogotten how much strenght it takes to rock climb. Then we all went to this new frozen yogurt place by Little Ceaser. It is called Tummi Yummi's. The frozen yogurt is good and it has a fooseball table and some flat screen tv's. It is decorated with different Aggie stuff and there are places to just sit and relax. On Saturday we went up to Beaver Mtn to ski and have a cook out with some friends. The snow was actually pretty good.

Congrats Hily and David. We can't wait until little Roman arrives in July.


Quelf

My family has found a new game that we really like to play. It is called Quelf. It is a board game that makes you do the most random things. Here are some pictures

My dad had to lay under the table while wearing a helmet until his next turn. My dog Max thought he should lay with him.
