Skiiing at Deer Valley
My brother Matt and I went skiing at Deer Valley today and had a great time. Even though we’re extremely crappy skiers, we managed to enjoy ourselves. One of the main reasons was that the whole day was free! I got lift tickets from work, and both of us were able to borrow gear from …

Seth got a couple tickets to a BYU basketball game and planned on taking Jacob. Normally Drew stays home with the girls, but Jacob thought Drew was finally old enough to go to a game, and Drew loved the idea. So, it became a boys’ night out. They all got outfitted in their BYU attire …

Steel Days Half Mile Run

2009 Utah Tour de Donut
My first organized ride after getting my road bike last year was the inaugural Utah Tour de Donut event here in American Fork. Back then, I was a cycling newbie, but now I’m much more experienced. Looking back at my 2008 Tour de Donut results, I was a little disappointed. I had to improve significantly …
Baseball has ended…at last
Jacob was drafted to the Astros team this year. He played third base most of the season but he pitched a few games as well. He had a great team with fabulous coaches. They only lost two games all season. When it came down to the tournament they lost in the second round to a …
