Getting things done...

This week, we went to Cedar City so Mike could help his parents put a porch on the house there. It turned out to be a pretty productive trip for us too! They worked really hard. Here are a few pics.

I know it's kind of hard to actually see the house but if anyone's interested, it is for sale...

Also, Mike was asked to photograph the fights that happened on the third of July here in Eagar. If anyone was wanting to see them or buy any prints, go to www.americanfightingfederation.blogspot.com. There's also a link on the side of our page. Send it to anyone you think might be interested because from what I understand, it was supposed to be announced to the fighters and audience but never happened.

The Dark Knight

It finally came! This has been my most anticipated movie this summer. I couldn't wait, and then I had to, because it sold out everywhere. I got in on the earliest showing I could, then watched it again the next day, and I'm planning on watching it tomorrow.
First of all I was not disappointed. This movie was awesome and even better the second time. In my opinion it will be the best movie this year!
The reason I was anticipating this movie so much was because of the writer/director. Christopher Nolan is One of my favorite directors. As far as film is concerned he is my hero and I wish I could make movies like him. If you haven't seen all of his films I recommend every one of them. (I also have to say Heath Ledger was amazing in this movie)

Swim Party

This week, we went to Mesa to take a picture of the Temple for my parent's anniversary present. We got to stay w/ Adam and Nicole in their new house in Paradise Valley. It was a blast! We got to hang out and had a swim party n their new pool and Nicole even took me to get my first pedicure! Thanks guys!!

Mike doin' a gainer

The pool happens to be close enough to the house that you can jump off the roof and even the chimney into the pool which isn't THAT high, the real rush comes from trying to decide if you can make it into the pool or if you'll end up a little short. I originally called Adam and Mike stupid and crazy for jumping off the chimney but when it came down to it, I couldn't turn down the dare...

Here's Mike being crazy off the chimney

Just in case anyone was wondering how the finished product came out...

Thanks again Adam and Nicole! We've missed you guys!!

4th of July

This years parade was pretty good. I particularly liked it when helicopters flew down low by the parade. It was also nice to see the ward floats. I have to give Dale Goodman props for an awesome job on his design of the George Washington float.






The rest of the fourth was different from the usual stuff. We missed the Rodeo and instead went and shot guns, played basketball, and watched movies. We still got to have some bar-b-que and made it to the fireworks with Brian and Mel.

Wandering through RV

We've been pretty lost lately. We still don't know where we are headed, but we are trying to enjoy ourselves while we're looking.
Lately we've been hanging out in RV, playing softball, working different jobs, and enjoying the nice summer time here. After Zion's hike we wanted to go back so bad that we kept going on little hikes here, and we had lots of people join us.













Some of the hikes were light, and others got pretty steep. (I kept blaming our many breaks on Trist, what a bunch of crap that was)
I've found that when I'm on a hike and I start focusing on the end, it takes the fun out of it. When I enjoy where I am, and not think about when it's over, I start to appreciate every minute of it.

Sometimes it's just good to go back home
