Family Time

So, the other day I got home from work and got ready to relax with my wife and daughter. Unfortunately, that evening of relaxation got...interupted when the power went out. We didnt have any lights, and there were ominous clouds outside, so we decided to go the the Dollar theater in town, which fortunately still did have power. We went and got to see Meet The Robinsons. Lydia really seemed to enjoy most of the movie, except for the part where it looked like the bad guy was winning. At that that point, she got really agitated and wouldn't stay calm unless either Kate, or myself was holding her. Afterwards, we decided to go out for Ice cream. The ice cream shop was right next to a Barns & Noble book store, and it was the same night that the latest Harry Potter book came out. It was like haloween with all the costumed people that were standing outside the store waiting to get in and buy the book. When we finally got home, Lydia was so tired that she made her way up the stairs, into her room, and ploped down on her bed exhausted. It was so cute! We all had a great time together.

Family Pictures

We took some family photo's about 6 months ago, I guess I should be more diligent about posting these kinds of things.
In the picture on the left, is Nate, Kate, and Lydia. In the picture on the right is a picture of Kate's side of the Family. From left to right: Kate's sister Tammi, Tami's husband Sean, Kate's dad Leland, Kate's brother Mike, Kate's mom Ruth, Nate, Kate, Lydia, and Kate's Brother Bradley.

Long time, no post

Well, it has been a while since we posted anything. Not that things havent been happening arround here, I guess we just got lazy for a few days (Cough) or a few months, hehe. Anyway, trying to update everything in detail right now is a bit too intimidating right now, so I will probably just touch on a lot of things.

Lets see, we sold Tigger, and got another dog by the name of Zeus. He died about a week after we got him, we think by a spider bite. A few days later, we had Tigger returned to us by the disgruntled purchasers, who were mad at us because they thought that we had misrepresented him when we said he knew tricks. When he wouldn't do tricks for them unless they had a treat in their hand, they became dissatisfied and retruned him. Anyway, Their loss I guess.

Kate got tired of having our shed out back look...unfiinished. So she got it into her head that she would paint it. We had one of Nate's sisters visiting and helping Kate for a week, and they got together to paint the Shed. I don't have a picture of the finished product, but it goes without saying that the shed now looks a heckuvalot better now than it did.

Nate and Kate went to an anual get together with a group nate calls "The Nabari Yonnin"(The four companions from the Nabari area on Nate's mission) It has been interesting for Nate to monitor not only every one else's progress evey time they get together, but also how our family is progressing. Good times

Our daughter Lydia is becoming more of a Daddy's girl, to her father's delight. She doesn't really understand the fund that Nate has playing his Xbox, but we got a cute picture anyway. She doesn't really get to see Nate as much as either of them would like, because he works 6 days a week. WE enjoy our time together in the evenings though. Lydia won't go to sleep without a fight unless her father is there to read her a story and play with her before bed.

Kate and Lydia recently made a trip to the Hoggle Zoo in Salt Lake

City. Nate was unable to join them because of previous work obligations, but they had lots of fun anyway. Nate Kate and Lydia were able to take a family trip to Lagoon a few days before, with Nate's Brother Jared. It was a general concensus ammong the group that the Rattlesnake Rapids raft ride was the groups favorite ride. The line was relatively short compared to most of the rest of the rides, and everyone had fun either trying to get wet, or trying to avoid it. Lydia in particular didn't like the pare where the raft went under a waterfall.

Anyway, my time is up for now, but I will try to be more dilligent in writing. I guess we'll see.
