Skiing at Snow Basin

Today I gave Jada two options: 1. Go tubing. 2. Go Skiing. She didn't hesitate with her response. So we packed up our gear and headed up to Snow Basin for the day. It was windy, snowy, and cold...we had the time of our lives! Lots of laughs, lots of tree trails, and one Hot Cocoa break. I decided to brave the elements ...with the video camera and this is the product.

LONG TIME NO SEE!

Where to start? Basically I (troy) now have a new job and I work out at the SLC airport doing their HVAC. Its not a job that I am sitting at my computer all day anymore, and so you have seen a HUGE drop off in my frequency of posts and updates.

First and Formost this blog will likely change titles as Andrea and I are expecting a new baby sometime in late June! We are very excited about it and Jada Rose can't wait to have someone else to play with besides her boring dad. Rather than go on and on about our lives, I will start from the beginning of our camera and see if that fills in the HUGE gap that my lack of posting has begun?

Top: was taken this afternoon. Jada was coming in for a Kiss!

Above: Is me explaining to Jada how long it will take to clean the lens if she kisses it.

Above: Two of the three musketeers that run our home!

Above: Perhaps the two athletic of the three as well.

Above: a pose from a Rose

Above: Yes our backyard is on a downhill slope. This can cause people to walk and even stand with a bit of a "tilt".

Above Perhaps the most exciting of Jada's adventures is going to Disney on Ice. SHE LOVED IT!!!

Above: Jada pasting on one of her manufactured smiles. Probably because something was keeping her attention on the ICE!

Above: Perhaps a little less manufactured of a smile as she knows her mother will hold her to a far more strict policy when it comes to legitimate smile.

Above: Now that's the TRUE smile of Joy sitting next to her Grandma watching princess skate right in front of her!

Ok had to slip this in. Its the three ORIGINAL cousins! They are in for some serious changes here in the future, and stand to be considerably outnumbered! Especially the male! This was from earlier this summer waiting for the Circus.

new post comming soon!!!

I know I've been a huge slacker! So a new post is comming to catch u up on everything going on in jadas and our families lives...I promise!

Fishing trip to the Uintah Mountains

On Thursday Jada Rose, her Grandpa Nolan, and I went up to the Uintah Mountains ( Wall Lake ) for a day of fishing. We had a blast! Bugs were terrible, but thanks to a few gallons of bug spray, and an afternoon wind we finally were able to deal with them.

Day 5

Ok sorry for no day 4 update. We left our battery for the camera at our Hotel and drove 2 hours to SeaWorld. I did have my video cam and have TONS of footage. But the hotel internet is way to slow to download it right now. So we will just have to jump into day 5. The small stick figures in the background of a couple of these are Joel and Troy trying to surf. We put away the foam boards today and went hard....and it was...hard!

day 3

Jada, Blake, and Briggs enjoyed the Magical Parade...Joel Loved it TOO! He was quoted as saying "it was beyond Magical!".

Mommy and Jada enjoyed many many rides today. Daddy was envious!

Blake, Jada and Briggs worked themselves silly today. Blake fell asleep at 6pm and was OUT!

The face of pleading for "ONE MORE RIDE?"
