Darth Vadar

We have been calling Jack Darth Vadar since he was just a baby because he snores so loud! It was getting so bad that nobody would ever share a room with him. I have to admit, I kind of liked being able to hear him breathing from my room at night. Anyways, so we took him to an ENT and he said his tonsils and adenoids needed to come out. So, December 18 was the day! Jack was a trooper! I was so proud of him!

Disney World Nov 2009

We had such a great trip to DisneyWorld this year! I really do love that place! I just wish that Nick felt the same way. He was a pretty good sport and even got to be an honorary observer at a PGA golf tournament. This was the first time that we were there for the Christmas party. It was so great and definitely worth the extra ticket you have to buy. The castle and fireworks were amazing! We rented a condo that had a Nemo themed room for Jack and KC. Jack also got to see his favorite princess, Ariel. He was blushing the whole time and she even left a kiss mark on his cheek that he didn't want me to wash off!

Fall 2009

I can't believe that I am so far behind on posting pictures! We have been super busy, so I will attempt to update our blog. Nick had a really fun time this past fall getting into Cyclecross bike racing. It is pretty fun to watch. They race through grass, dirt, road, up hills, and over logs. We spent all day every Saturday at his races. Jack really got into it and loved ringing the cowbell and cheering for his dad.

Go Utes!

We took Jack to his first football game yesterday and he loved it! It rained and we were freezing cold, but it was a great game!

LOTOJA

Nick and my dad rode their bikes 206 miles from Logan to Jackson Wyoming last Saturday. I am so proud of both of them for finishing before dark! My mom, Jack, and I spent the whole 12 hours in the car meeting them at each stop with water and snacks.

This was Nick at the first stop. He was so fast that I didn't see him again until the finish line!

My dad had to make some new friends to ride with because Nick ditched him at the very beginning.

Jack rode the whole 12 hours glued to his movie.

The Finish!

This cute kid started preschool!

2 Weeks of no accidents and this is what you get...

Chuck E Cheese!  We have been trying to get Jack potty trained for a while and he finally did it!  I am so relieved because he is supposed to start preschool in a month.  I am so proud of him!

Jack and my Dad (Paco)

Of course we had to bring KC with us to get all the tickets!

San Diego

Nick and my dad planned a guys trip to Moab a couple of weeks ago, so my mom and I decided that we would plan our own trip.  We went to San Diego and took Jack to SeaWorld, the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and the Zoo.  Jack loves animals and had such a great time! He even learned about some new animals.  He also was very attached to Shamu.  He could have watched him all day! 

Guatemala

I had an amazing opportunity to go to Guatemala with my dad, my older brother Ryan, and my younger sister Natalie for 10 days.  We did dental work on almost 1,000 future missionaries in 6 days!  It was such hard work, but so rewarding.  We had such a great trip and had some amazing experiences.  

A few weeks ago (when the weather was much warmer) we got together with some of Nick's friends from high school (Eric & Danni and their daughter Sarah Grace were in town from South Carolina and Shaun & Annette). We went up American Fork canyon and had a campfire.  Jack had such a great time climbing around in the rocks and playing with Sarah Grace.  The boys also had way too much fun riding in the back of the truck together.

100 miles!

Nick has recently become obsessed with road biking.  He has always done a lot of mountain biking, but he started road biking in February because we had some warmer weather (40 degrees!) and there was still too much snow in the mountains. Anyways... we went to St. George a couple of weekends ago so Nick could ride in the Zion Century.  We got my mom to come with us and she ended up riding 65 miles!  I was so proud of both of them.  We had a great weekend!  Me and Jack went to the wildlife museum and he loved it!  He could have walked around that place all day identifying all the animals.  He also wanted his picture taken in front of almost ever animal.  It was pretty cute.

Nick and my mom about to start the ride.

The Finish! (I thought that Nick wouldn't even be able to walk!)
