Discipline


This is what Tara will do if the if you don't listen. It's amazing what damage a quick backhand slap can do. Actually, Britney did a swan dive and face planted off of a cement patio to a concrete sidewalk below. She lost a few skin cells and probably a few brain cells as well. I'm just glad it wasn't on my watch.

Turkey Hunt/Camping/Vacation/Sightseeing (because no turkeys)


Well, Turkey Hunt 2010 has come and gone and I have yet to see a wild turkey (a live one at least). Last year we didn't see any turkeys and it was the same this year. We had a fun time though. Megan and I went down to Boulder, Utah near Escalante with Jason Schouten, his two boys, and his dad Randy. It snowed on us at least four times (the weather man said that it would reach near 80 degrees (needless to say we will be switching channels to get a more accurate weather report next time). Luckily, Tara forced me to bring Megan's winter coat and gloves. We would've been totally screwed. Thanks Tara, Mother's know best. One day we did some exploring and drove down through Escalante and went to the Devil's Garden which is know for its cool rock formation and its hairy-legged European tree huggers. Both were very interesting.

The only wild turkey we saw that probably died during the '09 Turkey Hunt.

The Way Ashley Sleeps


We went and checked on the kids before we went to bed (that's what good parents do). This is how we found Ashley asleep.

Hula Hoop Championship

We had FHE with Denton, Krystee, and Mason tonight. They came up and visited us from Arizona for a long weekend. We had a Davenport Olympics on the Wii for our FHE activity. Hula Hoop was the finale. Here are a few clips of the girls. Megan's clip is my favorite!


Knocking Fear into Knox

What a wuss! Love that kid, even though he cries like Ella. Ben left him in the chair for 45 after the incident until he was too tired to cry. It worked.
