Uinta Camping Trip

We had a great time last weekend going camping with some good friends.

The awesome view from our camp site.

Johnson's Mill

For our anniversary Jeph and I went to this great bed and breakfast in Midway. The scenery was beautiful. Her are a few pics of the property.

Boxing Champion!!!

It is official, Jeph is the Simmons Boxing Champion. After beating all those who attended the Simmons Boxing match, Jeph won the title. CONGRATS JEPH!! We're so proud.



Here is a small video of one of the final matches when Jeph went up against his mom. I apologize for the bad quality, I only had my cell phone and the room was darker than I thought but hopefully you can see enough to be entertained.

My friend Trevor has a somewhat sick but comical joke that when someone dies, he will send a text asking, "Is so-and-so there?". That's his special way of updating people on any current celebrity deaths. Earlier this summer, while Dave Matthews Band was on tour, I received a text asking, "Is LeRoi Moore (DMB saxophonist)there?" Luckily it was just a cruel joke and he did not die but was in a terrible ATV accident and punctured his lungs. This put him out of commission for the rest of the summer tour. Tonight while enjoying myself at my brother-in-law's wedding, I got the dreaded text that I hoped I'd never have to see, "Is LeRoi Moore there? No joke"
LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program.
The band has only a few weeks left on tour and were scheduled to play in L.A. tonight. To everyone's amazement, they did not cancel the show but played their hearts out and dedicated the evening to one of their best friends of 17 years.
What this news means for the rest of the tour and my 4 shows within the next few weeks is uncertain but LeRoi's passing has already been felt by the fans and his musicianship will be greatly missed. Here's to you Roi! Thanks for the good times!

One down...alot more to go!!

Today is the one year anniversary since Venita and I joined together to make the coolest family ever! Of course we have had a few rough moments here and there, but if this is the hardest year of marriage like everyone says, we are good to go!! We are still in love, make each other happy and can't imagine life without the other.
I love you, Venita and am so grateful for all that took place one year ago today. You are my everything and to know that you are mine for eternity brings me the most joy than anything else in this world. Here's to us and the countless years ahead!!!
I'd walk half way around the world,
Just to sit down by your side.
And I would do most anything girl,
To be the apple of your eye.

Troubles they may come and go,
But good times they are the gold.
And if this road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.

Any place you wanna go,
Know I'll be next to you.
If it's treasure baby you're looking for,
I'll search the whole world through.

So if your heart rings dry my love,
I will fill your cup.
And if your load gets heavy girl,
I will lift you up.

Troubles they may come and go,
But good times be the gold.
So if this road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.

San Diego Vacation

As many of you may remember, Jeph and I won a few free vacations and decided to see if the offer was valid, so we signed up to go over Pioneer Day. To our surprise, everything worked out great. We enjoyed a great weekend not too far from San Diego and just wanted to share a few pictures from our vacation.

Dinner at Red Robin














Pics at the San Diego Temple. Since this was sort of like our 1 year anniversary trip, we decided to do some Sealings at the temple. It was a little different but a great experience to see such a beautiful temple inside and out! This was the 7th temple we've been to together!


























































And the awesome Pala Mesa Resort where we got to stay during our trip.














It's a good thing we won two of these free vacations so we can start planning for next year! We love those dealership prizes!

LEGOLAND

I look so excited in this picture, I think it was the kid in me coming out to enjoy a great day at Legoland!

On our fun little trip to San Diego we had to stop by the famous San Diego Zoo. Gotta love the animals.

I'm pretty sure this was the highlight of Jeph's entire trip.













What could be more better than elephant poo paper?

CONGRATS MIKE & KIM!!!

Concerts!!

This past week we were able to hit up 2 different concerts and had a blast at each of them! For each of them we had some pretty cool couples accompanying us so we felt pretty lucky. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Laurie (my sister) and Ken. We knew this was the only way to get them to come visit us in Utah!











































Thank you Laurie for some of the pictures



Concert #2- Colbie Caillat and John Mayer!! For this concert we went with Jeph's brother Mike and his fiancee Kim (more pictures to come). With them getting married in 2 days, we figured this would be a fun wedding present for them. Congrats, guys!!
