Wusssuuuup?! qt pie!!!!!!!!!

ok i had nothing to do with that first line. i did not write it. sorry to the world for not updating my blog in like two centuries.

well life is awesome now that ia m not working nor going to school. like dad alsways says, he is so jealous of me. All i get to do is work around the house and play sports. so catching up for the last 3 months or so and just in time for most all of you to come see me personally i will now update my blog. so here come the pictures like i have done from B4 (its a hit, you sunk it!!!)

most of these pictures come from when we went to disney land / california adventure / majic mountain. (ok troops i do know how to spell magic, but I think it is more majical with a J)

these were some pretty big costers here. crazyness

we left the trip short 1 arm.

this was one of the crazy big big roller coasters we went on. at the end they send you spiraling into the ground and everyone semi blacks out. awesome.

we saw this picture up in the sky tower and though aucKward.

majic mountain from the sky tower.

crazy craZy roller coasters. this one they send you flying through out the park on your stomach like you are flying.

hurrah for disney land during halloween.

our friend the cheif.

space mountain. personal favorite.

Jack Skellington took over the haunted mansion and made it awesome. while we were there, there was a present to Kirstin, spelled just right to. i thought neat, so the next time through we tried to get a picture of it but it was to dark so they all came out blurry like this.

here you can see Jack watching Pan fend of Hook.

the haunted mansion.

ok this was one of the greatest picture from the trip. as you can see we are pretty awesome but i would like to draw your att. to another part of the photograph. the lady in your upper left hand corner was requesting to get off the ride right before it started and almost did. but she went anyway. she did not see much of it though. she was completely chocking her husband or a compleat stranger. that would have been awesome. i think they would have become really good friends after this ride.

this was a really funny acukward moment for the people taking the picture. if you want the details you can come ask me in person and i will be able to get you the story. its pretty awesome.

space mountain again. soooooo so awesome.

i got to control the gas. and stephanie got the steering wheel.

the ground at disney land. we had no trouble keeping our shadows there.

here is san fransisco from the golden gate bridge. first time on it and definitely worth the crazy trip.

well ladies and gentlemen there you have it. more goodness to come. wahoo!

ps Real Salt Lake it the greatest soccer team in the world

pss stefaniy heelped mee wif mi speelin

due to a bit of negeligence on my part this post will be a little bit different than usualy. i am not at all into making it pretty or anything and nor am i now but usually i throw up a bunch of picts of my recent life and then narate. latley i have not been so good on the picture taking so there is not much updated but there are a few. on the 24th of this month i will have been home from my mission for two whole years which is just crazy to me. yep time is going. it just doesn't stop. it is a pretty interesting thing. i thought it would be fitting to throw up some pictures of when i got back and life around then. so here they are. 

these are just at some football game we went to. i cant get enough of that wave.
me and my little bro. i am greatfull he had the camera for this even. we got a little bit of logging in. 
dan j was there. pretty cool kid. 
so i told tyler that he had to learn and so he did. he got pretty good before he left. we will definitely rock out when he gets back.
awesome poster for the welcome home. i imagine we've got at least one more of these to hang up. get ready alpine. 11 more months.
some good friends
another one of ty
the greeting party
mom moms the greatest.

the last family that we saw baptized. and elder warken who returned just last month.
so this one was only last year. mel kept on wanting to straiten my hair and i told her she finally could and this was the result, pretty good. someday my hair will be that long again but right now i got keep it pretty short, bummer. the cut came about 15 min later.
so this one was the recent one that i told you i would get up. yesterday we went to the big sur. cool but arguably not worth the drive. one more thing i can say i've done and can check off the list.  the first owners left it in there will that no one could go down to the bottom so that all can enjoy it beauty from afar. i say that is retarded. things are cool to look at but i am all about doing. i just wanted to go stand under the waterfall. that would have been awesome. 
here was a cool sunset. unfortunately my camera is on my phone and is not the best camera but it was truly a might sun set. so awesome.

just want to give a congratulations to all my friends. tons are getting married. even bryson and his mickelle had their baby. Patrick and Abigail got married. as well as steve carroll, chris noorda, dan skow, dan and dan went at the beginning of the summer and just as fate would have it they had to both marry Adrians--great. some day i might start to think about getting on that train.  i'm sure there are other but those are the ones that come to mind right now.

well thats it crew. thats all i got. hopefully i will start to take more picts. i am going into a new stage of selling the next weeks as most people are leaving. we will see how long i can last. hopefully i continue to rock it till the snow falls. wish me luck and thanks for all the support. rock rock on.

aowghis;vnzl ,

yep i know i am the one in the family w/ the least up dated blog right before this moment. i know that many of you have been wanting to know what is going on in the life and so here it is. i sell and then sleep and that is pretty much all that goes on besides the things that go on in-between. the selling is actually pretty fun. i meet some crazy folk out there and just lots of weird situations but i really enjoy it. it is awesome to learn all the stuff that i am learning about human behavior and the stuff that is related to that.  (right now i am in the middle of making spegetti so that may be why my thoughts are disjointed). the other things on the side are really fun to and those things will be the following pictures.  so with no further adoooooooooo.

there were a few more photos that belong to the most recent shoot when the parents and mel came out to california but this was one of the best winners (they are all winners but this was awesome).
i got me some real court shoes and ya i thought i would go for a ronald mc donald look (esp w/ the church socks and bball shorts--yep it was sunday)
here it the spegetti i told you about. it was really good.
this was a winner for the thanksgiving photo shoot. i though you'd enjoy
this was an awesome one of mel's hair
and for any of you who have doubts i do miss skiing as much as ever. i love it. 

so this is a more recent on when we went to the red wood forest by santa cruz. ( i don't think they are as big as the ones in muir woods but that are still quite large). santa cruz was yesterday and after the woods we played on the beach. Frisbee then volley ball then once it got dark we went body surfing and that was so so so much fun. i love it. there are few things that bring me that much joy in life. i love boogie boarding almost but not as much as soccer, b ball and skiing. it ranks really high up on my list of fun things to do. though we did not have a board our bodies did well enough and we had loads of fun. 


this one was one of the first times we went to san francisco. yep awesome.
this was the second time we went. cool little steep street. bring back memories of the greatest car chase scene of all movies. 
cool pict of the gg bridge.
in the chocolate factory.
so this is my new shuffle i am pretty excited about. even though it is 4 gb i still have to be pretty selective about the tunes that go on. also in the background in the ghetto blaster that gma let me take. she is awesome.
so my whole life i have been fighting my cowlick and now i have decided to embrace my hair for how it automatically goes.
more red woods






this is a tribute to dans J's thunder pose


this is meant for jeff K. 
here is on the hike w/ the family during the reunion, sadly i don't have many picts of that. i think mom's and melissa's blog are the best spots to see what went down there. i really enjoyed going back and i must declare i do love utah. i just cant get enough of the mountains there. there is just something about home. it is awesome. 

so i never new you could just go to the grocery store and buy spirits but apparently you can. i didn't look at the price because if the worth of souls is greet in the sight of our heavenly father (who owns everything) i did not want to know how much that would be for me. 
my volvo. i find them all the time out here and it gives me a certain longing for my car. man i love the volvo. in the word of ty "Find Me My VOllVo!"

this car had a lot of stickers
i was worried that they would open the  door and see the birds were dead before i talked to them but then i saw they were fake, then i thought who keeps fake dead birds in a cage in front of there house, weird people. they didn't deserve pest control so i went on to the next house.
here i found where Sid lived. though i did not find a soldier strapped to an explosion device i found this bracheosaurs nailed to a tree straight though his neck. 
cool view out in fremont
this was a neat feature in a park. you could actually spin the globe and trust me i got it going pretty fast. in hindsight i guess i would of been pretty funny seeing some 22 year old kid all by himself in a white polo shirt trying to get some random globe fountain thing go as fast as it possibly could. nope i don't do drugs, i look for all the natural highs. 
here is some of the beach when we went to wicked. that was pretty awesome. 




only ty and mel will understand the importance of this one. Tyler we sure did miss you watching the chip and dale cartoons at gmas. 
notice the Tie?
this is the cactus that decided to run its self into my hand. i don't know why. the bug bites i can understand but the plants are after me too? if so i am in big trouble.
cool little pict i took upside down out the window of a car.
from coy tower
the order on these picts is messed up. this one if the proof that i got to bar 12' up. 

i saw this bar and i am like ya i can touch it. so using my jackie chan powers i ran up the wall and got it. 

and that is the end. hopefully i can get to taking more picts. for all you folks out there know that life is so good for me right now and i am doing really well. i get to study alot on the doors for the mcat thanks to aaron for his flash cards. i find time to work out, play bball, play random things and have tons and tons of fun. yep life is good and the beatles are rocking right now in gmas music box. have a wonderful week and if your ever up for a talk you can call. seeee ya.

                                                                                     \"/

well family and friends, i know that it has been a long time and i am sorry. between finals and getting out to california and settled out here i have not had time for much extra stuff but today is a good day to get another random number of picts up and out to you guys for your viewing enjoyment. so here is the random go of what has been going down in the past few weeks. as there is not specific order just read the captions and enjoy what is going down in my life. 

to start things out i will explain to you how wonderful the world of ice-cream is. i love it flat out. this morning i decided to do a little pancakes and though, " what would be better than to throw on a bit of ice cream" and yes it was as delicious as it looks. there is just something magical about eating some thing that is both super hot and cold at the same time. i.e. hot fudge sundays, and apple pie a la mode. maybe it is just the fact that it has ice cream in it but i will tell you that pancakes and ice-cream w/ maple syrup or strawberry jam are sooooooo double awesome. 
this picture is of our vacation to st george and buckskin canyon. which was so awesome. the first day we got there we played at the sugar loaf and it was raining so hard. (not your typical st george) but it was awesome. we did the little slot canyon/ crack in the rock and then some sardines. this is when we had finished our game and were all soaking wet. 
this is when we first got to the sugar loaf
here is the next night as we were making our way to buckskin canyon we went thorough arizona. and for a number of people it was their fist time in the state so we got out of the car to celebrate. 
while at lovely st george we went to the lava caves and threw our own rave party. yep glow sticks galore. on the way out we were so bright that we didn't even need a flash light to see where we were going. it was truly an experience to remember. 
we found a stone dragon and took if for a ride at snow canyon
this is in another little cave thing. we had a cool photo shoot and the found a really echoee spot and did some Buddhist monk chanting. that was way cool.
here are some real life pictographs. i have always wanted to see some of these all my life and now that i have i can check it off of my list of things that i want to do. wahoo.
this was another cool spot that we found next to the pictographs.
on our way out we went in search of a ghost town and this is all we found. nothing except for a multicolored mountain. the mountain was awesome but definitely no ghosts. 
some coyote fell into the canyon and some of the girls found it quite attractive. 
in the canyon.
another photo of the same spot.
an idea of what it was like. it still does not quite do it justice at the supreme majesty of the canyon but. . . 
a biker in san fran. there were a bunch of sweet cars there. this guy had his music hoppin. 

on the way back we had a blue viper pass us going about 120-130 weaving in and out of everyone. it was super impressive and awesome looking. and then we saw a yellow lambo as we were getting off the freeway but he wasn't opening it up like the viper was but it was still such a hot car.  
cool bread
more cool bread
even more cool bread . it was fun to see this stuff in san fran.
i sorry it is sideways but while i was out selling i found this light that was being eaten by a tree. i though you would also like to enjoy.
this was a flash back to the mission. some guy w/ a little a little ice-cream tray. ohhh that brings back memories. 
this one if for klinton and kirstin
our first weekend i was there we went to the byu rugby game. we were down the whole time but were able to pull it out in the end. definilty not the favorite we were able to pull it out in the end after being down the whole game. super fun and ya we stormed the field and hugged people we didn't know, that is what life is all about. 
so the night before i left mel and i had a summers worth of fun. pulling a whole bunch of capers. like switching out the max's pops for the kix and saran-wrapping the entry way off. ( ya we got the parents good on both accounts (dad said mom let off a good scream)). also a little something that i taught melo--but that she has been sworn to secrecy of. if you want to i can teach you but only in person. so ask me next time i see you.
here is my toe after i broked it. it is still being dumb but is slowly healing
here is when we got free choclate milk after coming home form skiing. that was really cool. 
aftermath of the festival of colors. ya i was right in the middle. it was huge. 
on our way out from the colors festival
some of the aftermath of when they threw all the colors.
before it started. the effigy they would burn.
a snow man i built up at snow bird. ( one of the hardest parts of leaving was not being able to finish off the season.)

and that is all i have for now.  life is going good for me in california. we had our first few super hot days but i have been thought worse. i just will trust in my faith bottle of spf 50 sunscreen.   k awesome i am out. 

any questions or if you looking for a friendly hi don't hesitate to call. i may not answer but ill get back to you.

keep dancing/rocking out 1987 style. 

so i got some picts to work

riding of into the valley of the goblins
dane standing on a turtles head

in the slot canyon
a quick jerkey break before we start down little wildhorse

ya this hole was awesome. i fit my whole self in the hole

k well this weekend was awesome. i fulfilled a life's dream and got to go to goblin valley. i have always wanted to do it and it was worth every bit of want to go. i totally did live up to the expectations. i only have some of the photos and i don't have time tonight for much of a post like usual so i will just get a few for you guys. we also did some slot canyons and played around in the san rafael swell which was mega fun. also i forget how impressive the desert night sky is w/ out light for miles on end where we were the only people for a really long distance. it is truly awesome in the purest sense of the word. defiantly enough to blow you mind. also a lot of the picts we took in the valley are on a different camera so you will have to wait but i will get you guys a super good post someday soon when i have more time.

so here are some quick random posts of the recent and late advancements of my life. i don't know how to control the order after i upload this picts so you guys are going to get a random sample of kind of everything over the next two posts but you guys should be somewhat familar w/ the way i post. i am for quantity and not as much quality so it may be a bit messy but i am at least getting the info and the picts out ta all y'all. these first few are a bit graphic going back to the leg chop so those faint of stomach can jump the fist few with my permission/blessing.  nararations will go on right under the photos so you can kind of know what is going on.

ty wanted to see a pict of my leg all healed up so here it is. 100% better. just a weird line w/ dots around it.
these ones needed to be cropped a bit and were not put on w/ the rest but they were requested for as well so here they are. Here it is right after it was stitched up and before they put the wrapping paper on (don't open 'till christmas).
here it is after it was cleaned up by the people at snow bird. they were nice to send me to alta view.
k i think the grossness is over now it is time for fun. here is where we got our old man with the silly string. look at mel's bicep. keep doing those curls. such definition. 
this was before we pouched uvu campus. yep you don't need to brush and floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep. 
here is steph. she is super awesome but is also sideways. that is ok we will still keep her.
and a few of matilda. she was super fun.
this is the picture of aaron that come up when ever he calls me up. it is like "i want to talk to yoU!"
i think babies would learn how to swim in about a day if we had them do it. walking is a lot harder. they are constantly in a position to swim.
here a couple of pict of when grandma took us out for chinese on dad's b-day. happy birthday dad and thanks grandma. i told weston to stick the chopsticks in his mouth like a walrus and this is what i got. he is awesome.
yep. good food.
i dont remember what garret was eating but i sure it was scrumptious. 
this was a picture of my open closet through the eyes of my ipod. i think mel took it but i am not sure. i am sure however that it is a neat perspective on my closet. i thought you all would like to enjoy.
i never knew how to do these puzzles where you have  one space and you have to align the blocks in order to make a pict but i worked on it over christmas break w/ this child's toy and got the system down pretty good.  this is the final product.
hey
the temple lights when we went up. that was super fun and a good christmas concert.
the jazz game w/ the cousins family. if you look closely the bear is doing a hand stand on a really high latter. we have the greatest mascots here in utah by far.
i was using my flotation powers to put the christmas lights on the trees.
we were going for the "o pensador" or however you say the name of that statue out in france of the guy thinking effect.
for some reason this boy like weird things like getting stuffed in the mail box. what a champ.

so this will be the second of two quick posts and since i don't really know what is up with computers we are going to leave the font as blue and underlined because i don't know what is making it do that. also i don't know how to fix the order of the picts and this is how they were loaded so i will just narrate as we go down the order but this will be the second time you are going to hear this so enough talk lets go.

this one just looked really funny. we were on the freeway and the horse was jumping out of the car. well i thought it looked funny at least. 

here is one for us to all remember my little b. this was taken the night before he went into the MTC. he is rockin it out in NC. such a cool kid. 
max's interesting food selection keeps getting more interesting. here he was making salt water
here he was trying it.
and he decided he really liked it so he went back for more. but this time w/ a greater salt concentration. he kept on going for a bit and would have drank all the salt if we had not stopped him.
just a pict of me up skiingeating up at snowbird
birds eye view of the table
so funny story w/ this picture. when i hurt my leg the lady at the coffee stand offered me a hot chocolate and i told here nicely that i wasn't quite in the mood for one of those with my leg bleeding and all. so i went back there and talked to her and she gave me a hot chocolate and it was awesome. tons of good cream on top. yumm. she was surprised that i was skiing already and dan let her know that i was back a week later on one leg. she was supper cool and, as we all are, super grateful that i have made a full recovery.
so a sliver of dan's ski passed through his glove and went into his hand. that was pretty crazy.
this is the rock that cut my leg open. i was so surprised that we could find it.
here is where i jumped of from  and landed on the rock. kind of depressing that is was something so small.
looking down into AF canyon from the far side of snowbird.
i am making the snow.
max always grabs my head phones. he loves rocking out.
i don't look all that happy in this pict but it was probably the greatest tasting peanut butter sandwich i ever had.
this is that same sandwich and a miracle happened with this. i reached into my pocket to grab the sandwich and what do you know came out with it- -  A tootsie pop :) - -what a happy day. it was one of the best tasting lunches i have ever had.
here's Klint and the people working on there house. congratulations to the for the awesome job they are doing on it.

k well that is the end of the posts. hopefully i can get some more cool stories and picts for the next one. we are trying to do a road trip so i will keep you posted on what happens. 

p.s. we went to cory's cabin up in the uintas and were pulled on sleds all day behind snow machines but we forgot our cameras so no picts. sorry folks you will just have to use your imagination. good luck it was pretty much of the HoOk!
