IMC NICU BRB ASAP

Baby time was quite the roller coaster. We went from check-up to ambulance/c-section to hospital to stable conditions to induction to baby and back again.  Kaela, Dash and I are all extremely grateful for all the help everyone gave us. For the food, the car, the living arrangements, the money, the time, the clothes, the pictures, the prayers, the concern, the support and all around just being there for us. Besides engaging in the parenting learning curve, I feel we got a true taste of what life and family is really all about. I don't know what we would have done without all of you. It's such a blessing to have so much reassurance and support from the family units! You all are so wonderful and we just love you all so very much! 

The price to pay for sleepless nights and a bundle of joy.

Planking

Recently, I was exposed to a picture of a man planking across the overhead storage compartments in an airplane. The image hit me like the smell of cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven, it was just enough to spark my interest and make me salivate. To quench my interest I did a little google research and was thoroughly convinced that I needed to give it a try. Soon after, Kaela and I got some friends together and we began our very first planking session!!

The mettle hurt my shins too much so i had to take the four-head/thigh approach.

Oh yes....Llama Fest

 Let it be known that Kaela and I are completely infatuated with the Alpaca species, also known as....the Llama. Naturally we found our way to the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork for Llama Fest 2011.

Our first time at Llama fest was no doubt the birth of a life long tradition.

 There is no smile like the smug toothless smile that emulates from the majestic llama.

Don't get too close Whitney, they spit... silly llama.

Those familiar with llama folk lore will remember that it's been said that those familiar with the baby llama will soon find a small one of their own... very interesting.

Nothing better then a swift ride on the wheelers in the middle of hunting season. Orange anyone?

They say that wrestling on a log is good exercise for pregnant women. Who would have thought.

Intriguing, lets take a closer look...

I think a parade ought to do it.

Late night, tired and camera in hand. Enjoy..

The Gordan's boulder. Though solitary and unmoving, it brings joy to those of us who dream of 

quarter inch crimps and palm scraping slopers. Climb on she says, climb on. 

One of the hidden treasures of Ephraim. Oh yes, an arch.

Quality time with the snuggle bug.

If you can't beat them, join um'.

The hotdog marshmallow combo. Nice..

Never mind the dirty faces, greasy fingers and half eaten hotdog. Aunt Kaela makes for a good time.

Not many can say they have taken a ride in the one and only Storm Trooper. In this 

case it was a privilege to be with my wife.

A little mountaineering fun at Spring Hill

Cold hands, snow drifts and a good time. That what we found.
