Picking Winners

2009-08-18T20:27:00.001-07:00

Logan and I were in the car today when I hear him in the back seat say "Daddy Look" I was driving so we waited until the next stop light and look back to see Logan sitting there with a giant buger on his finger. As soon as I say "gross" he follows that up with " Daddy look, I picked a Winner!!!" This is hilarious because every time I catch him picking his nose I always ask him if he "picked a winner". I always thought that he never paid any attention, guess I was wrong. Every day he finds a way to crack me up. Love that kid!!

Summer Fun

2009-08-17T06:21:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I have posted anything. Here are some pictures of some of the fun things we have been up to this summer. We spent a day at Lagoon with Emily's work which was really hot and sunny, Logan had a blast as witnessed by the pictures. Last weekend we went down to St George, the weather was perfect, low to mid 90's in August in St George is perfect. We played in the pool, went up to Snow Canyon, and on the way home we went up through Cedar Breaks which was actually kind of chilly but very beautiful.

Ok so I finally started to play around with the different features on my Macbook. Here is my first little video, it is of Logan of course but you can't help but laugh at the kid.

Torrey Pines June 2009

2009-06-16T15:52:00.001-07:00

We flew in on Friday morning and played the North Course. Played the South Course on Saturday, and played Balboa Park Golf Course on Sunday, and flew out Sunday evening. That was the whole trip except for a few good restaurants (Fidel's in Del Mar was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had.)

Where the wild things are!!

2009-04-26T11:21:00.000-07:00

When Logan, Emily and I went to see Monsters vs Aliens (great movie) a couple of weeks ago it was to my great surprise to see this trailer. We saw it again last night when we went to see Earth. (another good show)

Here is the link,

I have never been so excited to see a movie in my entire life!! It sounds incredibly stupid but every time I see the trailer, I get a little tiery eyed. I have a ton of memories wrapped around this book and every time Logan and I read it (it is our favorite book to read before bed) I can't help but think of 2 very important people to me, my Mom and Kirsten. We won't go into the mushy details behind why this book reminds me of my Mom and Kirsten, just want you to know that I love you Kirsten. Cant wait for October 16th.

Mexican Riviera April 2009

2009-04-26T09:40:00.001-07:00

MEXICAN RIVIERA:

Emily and I went on a 7 day cruise down the Mexican Riviera the 2nd week of April. The weather was perfect (85 degrees and Sunny all week). The weather was even better because we heard that the UC (Utah County for those of you who don't know the acronyms) got 10 inches of snow while we were getting perfect suntans. Hope you enjoy the pictures, BTW Jesse and Kirsten the guy in the speedo is just for you. HaHa. These 2 guys were the first people we saw when we went to the pool, we called them the speedo twins the rest of the trip.

PUERTA VALLARTA:

Puerta Vallarta was our first stop, and was it nice to get off the boat after 2 1/2 days. We Walked along the ocean front and looked at these incredible sand sculptures, there were bunch of them, the ones I posted pictures of were Moses and the Last Supper. We chilled on the beach for a while and then we ate lunch at this little restaurant called Si Senor. It was the best Mexican food that we have ever had. Emily had carnitas and I had a mexican steak, they had the freshest and best guacamole ever. We finished up lunch with cocunut ice cream, it was delicious. If you are ever in Puerta Vallarta you must go there! We also visited the local catholic church, I love to go look at the old churches and the different types of architecture.

MAZATLAN:

You will notice that there are not many pictures of Mazatlan due to the fact that this was our least favorite stop. The city was dirty and the people not very friendly. We went to a beach that was dirty and full of other tourists, which also meant there were a ton of the vendors trying to sell you crap you don't want.

CABO SAN LUCAS:

Cabo San Lucas was our last stop. We got off the boat and got a water taxi which is a rickety old boat to take us out to lovers beach. This was the best beach( there were no vendors trying to sell you a bunch of crap.), and the driver of the water taxi took us out to see the arch, sea lions, sting ray, lots of different fish, and the window to the pacific before dropping us off at the beach. On the morning when we were coming into Cabo we woke up to see the sunrise

Football and Dogs.

2009-01-04T13:34:00.000-08:00

I had Logan this weekend and most of last week due to time off work. Logan and I like the rest of the world have been so completely overwhelmed by the amount of football on TV that most days we didn't even get out of our pajamas. After we had breakfst this morning I was up working on the computer and came down to find that Logan had removed his pants and was using a nightlight as a tee to kickoff his ball. (I am well aware that these are the types of things that a parent can't stop laughing about, while everyone else doesn't get it. Thought I would share it anyway, because I did happen to catch some of the action on film.) Also Logan loves to watch the movie "Sandlot", and even though he knows the name of the movie, and is aware of the difference between football & baseball he always asks to watch Football and Dogs. Kid is freaking hilarious he never ceases to make me laugh with his comments. Peace out.

Christmas!!

2008-12-29T09:58:00.000-08:00

We had a good Christmas this year. Logan and I spent Christmas eve at my dad's house, Jesse came in from Michigan, and Matt & Liz were there from Idaho. We ate some good taco's and watched transformers. (Jesse had never seen it, unlike myself who watches it at least 3 times a week because Logan loves it.) On Christmas morning Logan & I went to Raquels house to open gifts and have breakfast. Logan got some great gifts an optmus prime helmet, moon sand, a train, some books and a magnetic etch-a-scetch. As always here are some pictues to commemorate the occasion otherwise I wouldn't even have this post. I hope all of our devoted fans ( all three of you... thanks Jesse, Kirsten, and the random person who accidentally finds our blog.) had a wonderfull Christmas and have a Happy New Year.

Logan's B-Day Party

2008-12-14T14:48:00.000-08:00

Here are some random pictures from the B-day party I apologize that some are blurry and others are sideways ( I am not very good with the camera, or blogger.) Raquel and I just want to thank everyone for all the support and Love for Logan.

Logan's B-Day & Mom's Tree

2008-12-07T07:33:00.000-08:00

Logan turned three on Friday the 5th. To celebrate we went up to the festival of trees to see Mom's tree and then we went out to dinner at Pei Wei with Dad Chris & their friends. We had to get home early in order to prepare for the big birthday bash at Chucky Cheese's on Saturday. ( I'll bet you can guess what my next post will be about.) We had some yummy cupcakes that Meleesa and I made for Logan and then we opened gifts. Logan recieved a "Cars" blanket that lights up from Meleesa and a Basketball hoop form me. More to come on the big B-Day bash at Chucky Cheese's shortly.
Peace,
Adam & Logan
P.S. I just noticed that James' doll was missing from the picture, I am not sure where it was.

Thanksgiving

2008-12-02T15:48:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics from Thanksgiving!!

Logan and I went over to Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving we spent most of the afternoon helping them put up Christmas lights and Decorations outside. We then ate a wonderfull meal Thanks Chris!! and watched Kung Fu Panda. I hope that everyone had a wonderfull holiday.

Peace,

Adam

All Hallow's Eve 2008

2008-11-09T10:53:00.000-08:00

I moved into a new place last weekend and only recently got the internet attached in my new place so this is a little outdated. On Halloween Logan was going to hang out with his cousins at night so Dad, Chris and I took him to Thanksgiving Point to enjoy the last day of activities at Cornbelly's. Here are some pictures that show just how much fun was had by all! Thanks Dad & Chris for hanging out with us. Oh yea, Logan was a shark for Halloween as witnessed in the pictures. One disclaimer that should accompany this and all future posts is that I am not a professional photographer like Logan's mom so do not expect similar quality of pictures.

Halloween Cruise 2008

2008-10-26T03:43:00.000-07:00

Logan and I met up with with my Dad and Chris to attend the Halloween Cruise down the Provo River. We first went out and got some dinner at Hogi Yogi and then headed out on the great adventure. Luckily for all of us Chris carries cash or we would have been "up the river without a paddle." Get it!! Up the river!! they didn't accept cards! (LOL!! sorry I couldn't pass up the opportunity. you can tell that hanging out with Dad, a little of his sense of humor rubbed off, but I feel better now.) A good time was had by all, we even convinced them to allow me to climb the wall for free!! Twice!! (and by we I mean Chris. She used the whole, "I used to be in your ward" excuse, being a mormon pays off every now and again. LOL!!)
I guess I also feel obligated to plug the Halloween Cruise, if you live somewhere near Provo it is well worth the $6.00 per person
Thanks Dad & Chris.
Peace out,
Adam

Changes

2008-10-25T19:33:00.000-07:00

I am sure that many people will now begin to check Logan and I's blog more often because of the recent family changes that have happened. I will try to update this more frequently with our adventures so that everyone can keep up to date on all of our happenings.
I also want to thank all of those who have been supportive of Raquel and I through our recent family changes, we both understand that many of our family and friends will never understand why we made the decision that we have made. The only thing that we can ask at this point is that you trust both of us when we say that we put forth the best effort possible to make things work, but that sometimes people are meant to just be friends. Raquel and I are great friends and always will be, we will always be attached through our beautiful son Logan, who is the light of our lives.
For all of you who would like to check out Raquel and Logan's new blog here is the link. http://raquelandlogan.blogspot.com ( I strongly suggest that if you want to see some beautiful pictures of a beautiful mother with her beautiful son you go check it out.)
Peace out,
Adam.

Aunt Christen

2007-12-26T19:59:00.000-08:00

I have been meaning to post these two movies of Logan, he received a rather large box of gifts from his Aunt Christen in Massachusetts. Thank you Christen and Greg for your love and kindness to our son (As you will see in the video, the gifts just keep on coming.)

Sledding for Jared's B-Day

2007-12-25T13:55:00.000-08:00

We went sledding for the first time last Saturday for Jared's B-Day. Jared is Logan's cousin he just turned 6 and is one of Logan's Favorite people in the world. Logan was a fearless little kid, as soon as we got there he watched his cousin Mavin go down the hill, and as soon as he figured out what he was supposed to do he grabbed a sled and was gone. After sledding we went back to Roy & Diane's for Pizza and Cupcakes. Happy B-day Jared.

A Belated Birthday Party.

2007-12-09T19:40:00.000-08:00

We had a little get together tonight for Logan's 2nd Birthday. We had cupcakes and Ice Cream cake from Coldstone. Logan got Tonka Trucks, ABC magnets, gift cards to Build a Bear, Money for College, Monkey Towel and Washcloth, and lots of attention. Raquel and I want to thank everyone who came and everybody who loves our little guy so much.
Peace.

Who's Two?

2007-12-05T20:57:00.000-08:00

Logan officially turned two today, although he entered his terrible two's about 9 months ago. Logan and I had fun tonight, we went to Macdonald's for dinner and then we went shopping to find a Tonka truck for Logan. We ended up finding a police Hummer at the local Costco (Pictures are attached). Logan is sleeping with his new truck in his crib, he did not want to let it go.
Here is some video of Logan also, nothing special,(except for the fact that Logan does say Daddy if you listen closely.) I am just trying to figure out how all of this blog stuff works.

Some old pictures from Idaho.

2007-11-21T13:57:00.000-08:00

I didn't realize that these pictures were on my computer but since I just found them here they are for your viewing pleasure.

Turkey Shootout

2007-11-21T13:47:00.000-08:00

Alright Blog Fans it is time for my six month update. Here are some pictures from the turkey shootout that we played in last Saturday. The weather was 60 degrees and sunny which is very nice considering it was the middle of November.
We played a four man scramble and shot a 58 which is 14 under, the winning team came in at 53.
I played with Orlando, Kirk, and John.
There are some accompanying pictures, so enjoy!

2007-05-16T20:10:00.000-07:00

Here is Logan getting ready to play.

California

2007-05-16T19:54:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I last posted, I started school again on Monday so I have class on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday night so I will keep posting as often as possible.
I returned from California on Sunday night, I was down there with my brother Matt, we played the east course on friday morning at Breamar Country Club where Matt is the course superintendant. We then played at Wood Ranch Country Club on Friday afternoon. We played the west course at Breamar on Saturday morning, and then we played La Costa on Sunday.
Matt and Liz were wonderfull hosts and it was nice to get away for a couple of days even though I missed Raquel and Logan. Hera are some pictures from the trip so enjoy.

Roger Waters Preparation

2007-05-07T20:39:00.000-07:00

I had dinner with some friends tonight, we are preparing for our trip to Las Vegas to see Roger Waters on June 16th. For those of you who don't know Roger Waters is one of the founding members of Pink Floyd (This may be as close to a Pink Floyd concert as we will ever get.) The second set of his show is supposed to be a complete replay of Dark Side of the Moon, we are all excited plus it is a good chance to hang out and go on a little road trip. Mothers day is this Sunday, I think that means that people will get to talk to James, hopefully somebody can talk some sense into the kid, fighting with drunk people in Zambia all day long is probably not the smartest thing to be doing.
Until Later

Rainy Days and Mondays get me down

2007-05-05T09:26:00.000-07:00

Hello,
I know that I stole that line from some old CD that Dad would listen to, but, here it is Saturday morning and for once I don't have homework or class yet I am stuck writing on my blog instead of playing golf. I am hoping that it will clear up a little later on so I can at least hit some range balls. (I have to prepare myself for the golf marathon that Matt and I will be participating in this coming weekend.) Matt and I are planning on playing 108 holes of golf in about a 72 hour period. This is what I call a true vacation. (Thanks Matt for setting up all of the golf.) Hope that everyone is doing well, and for all of those adoring fans (a.k.a My Sisters) I will have some pictures from the trip next week.

Wasatch Mountain Lake Course

2007-04-29T08:45:00.000-07:00

I am officially a Ranger Rick, I hit balls perfectly all week long on the range and then when I get on the course it all falls apart. I hit the Lake Course at Wasatch Mountain yesterday with Orlando and Kirk It started out perfect, I chipped in from just off the back of the green for birdie on the first hole and ended up shooting 4 over on the front. The back nine was not nealry as much fun I ended up 5 over and considered giving up golf for the last two holes. On a lighter note, Logan loves to go to the driving range with me, we bought him a little 5 iron so that he can hit balls. The best thing about Logan is that everything is golf now, he swings everything like it is a golf club. He loves to watch the European Tour on the golf channel when we get up at 6:30 a.m on Saturday's and Sunday's.

Starting Up

2007-04-27T16:12:00.000-07:00

Hello,
This is my first post ever so I will keep it short, I thought I should get in touch with the future of communication. ( I am still working on text messaging) I plan on having my blog on the Top 10 list's soon so everyone keep checking it out. Actually, between MBA at the U of U, work, and family I hope to update as frequently as possible.
