2010

2010- A quick summary cause I'm a big slacker.

Went to Cancun.

Saw my little bro graduate AIT as an Apache mechanic with the National Guard.

Went to Tony's Grove lake with Family- nieces and nephews loved the water.

Met my newest (and plumpest) nephew Elijah in Florida.

Listened to bro in law (Chief Juancho) play some sweet tunes on his new Guitar.

Took the annual Flaming gorge trip and tried my best to grow a mustache.... total failure.

Ran the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay- loved it!

Took a sweet trip to the gorgeous Oregon Coast..... someday I'll live there.

While a plethora of things happened in 2010 (both good and bad), I failed to capture most of the major events with my camera...... maybe this year will be better?

Update Post

Been lazy for a few months..... or just really busy playing and un-motivated to post...... :) Here's some pics from a few trips I've taken over the last few months. Went to Jacksonville to see my sis and her family. Also went to Portland for a Strange Brew party at my friend Brian's house. Went snow shoeing at Mount Hood and ended up having a rally car race in the back yard before coming back home. Good times.....

92!

Went to Arizona for my grandpa's 92 birthday and 70th wedding anniversary. Inspiring!

Undead Party In Portland

We went to Portland to my friend Brian's annual 'Undead Party'. Good times...... :)

A few favorites...

Realized I haven't posted in a while and thought I'd take a sec to upload a few of my favorites from over the summer....

family camping trip to Tony's Grove.

Buddy Nathan got married in Logan

Had a sweet trip to flaming Gorge.

Went fishing, didn't catch anything.

Took this cool picture:)

Yep- when I feel more motivated I'll post something more substantial.... lol.

Love my new camera!

I recently upgraded my DSLR and could not be happier! I started with a Nikon D40 and, while I absolutely adored that camera, I decided I wanted more!.... Hence, I sold the 40 and upgraded to the D90. I haven't had as much time to take it out yet as I would have liked, but here's some examples of the fun I have had so far....

I take my camera with me just about everywhere I go. Most of the time, I use it to document all of my growing nieces and nephews, but every once in a while I catch a moment like the one above. There had been a lot of fires in across the state during the day and the air was very smoked filled the night I drove by the bountiful temple, creating this cool effect.

My family rocks

One of my favorite things in the entire world is spending time with my fam. We all got together for my birthday at my parents house to barbeque in the backyard and play games. Freeze tag and kickball were the favorite of the nieces and nephews. The trampoline is always a big hit as well. I took a lot of pics (as usual) and thought I'd post of few up. Good times! :)

Weekend in Sin City

We decided to go to Vegas for the weekend before my 27th birthday. Normally I am great about taking pictures while traveling, but I didn't even bring my camera along on this trip- I snapped a few from the cell phone camera (see below). I promise Dan and Lupe were there too, but I somehow missed getting any pics of them. We had a great time- I have the best friends and girlfriend!

Tour De Cure

So Kris and I ride in the Tour De Cure benefit ride every year along with the rest of the team from work. This year his brother in law Tregaron came along as well. We rode just shy of 70 miles in 4 hours 4 minutes. Not the fastest time but not bad for only getting on a bike once a year. All I can say is thank goodness I still play soccer several times a week! My legs weren't sore at all..... I wish I cold say the same thing for my butt! Even with the special shorts (built in padding) I have some bruising! It's worth it though; we always have a good time and it is for a good cause.
