so i got some picts to work

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!
