Uintah United

An old missionary friend of mine made a great documentary film about the city of Uintah and a man named Golden Kilburn. You can check out the trailer HERE, or buy the dvd HERE.

I went out to Ogden to visit him for the premiere of his film. I had such a great time visiting the beautiful town and visiting the Ogden Union Station and Weber State University.



My friend, Issac, works at the Church Administration Building on Temple Square as a film producer.



We walked through all of the underground tunnels below Temple Square that lead from building to building. A lot warmer than walking up above. He showed me all of the behind the scenes of the Conference Center and Tabernacle. Pretty amazing spaces.


Weber State University has an amazing campus. It was really nice. This is a pond out front where they have ducks, a quiet place to study.


We also visited an Aviation Museum in Magna, that has an impressive collection of pilot outfits, uniforms, and helmets.




The strangest place we went to was an army surplus store, Smith and Edward's. They have a huge store surrounded by two huge junkyards of stuff you could buy.





The Last highlight of the trip was the purpose of the trip itself, to see Issac's film, Uintah United at the Peery's Egyptian Theatre. The place was amazing. With stars in the ceiling that light up, and an organ player while you take your seat playing old movie themes. A huge crowd came for the one time showing, and afterwards there was a reception. What a great weekend. Thanks Issac.

Book Sales

My friend and I made a book together. I also made one on my own. We sat at a table and sold them at work one afternoon as part of a new annual event, called Dream-Con. Like a small Comic-con for the employees to share their personal work. It was a blast and we sold quite a few books.




The books were hand stitched, mostly by Ted (those are his hands).



Here are some of the sketches from the book:







And then I also had made a comicbook! Which you can buy HERE

Nearby Fires

I went outside last Saturday morning to go to garage sales and visit people. The sight was pretty intense. The ground was orange and I knew the must be smoke around the corner. This fire was just a couple of miles away. Luckily, by noon most of the smoke had blown to the other side of the mountain. I think the fire is out now.

Picnic in the Park

We had a picnic at a park near my parent's house a few weeks ago.  She decided to snuggle up with grandma. That's the sign that it's her bedtime. She will get a blanket and snuggle with you, but if you ask her if she's tired or wants to go to bed she will never admit it.

In The Morning

On my way to work, every now and then I happen to have the camera with me.

Halloween Fun

Halloween was very fun. She was a natural. At the first house, she walked right up to the door without us, she felt the call of candy. When the door opened she walked in without hesitation.

We decided to use the Tigger outfit we got from my Uncle Steve, since a hospital patient gown would have been cold and kind of boring without us dressed up next to her, haha.

THANKS to our great friend Cheryl for making her a cute candy bag with her name on it. She loved it.



Her cousin finally showed up and our daughter went nuts! They are very cute together.



Here is the two of them from last year.



After trick-or-treating we took her outfit off and she was sweating like crazy! Again with the wild hair.

"Bee! Bee! Bee!"

Every morning she asks for the Bee Movie, don't ask us why. She loves it though.

Wednesday I came home and Liz said she found her in the restroom doing a little scene reenactment from the movie.

Birthdays and LEGO Fun!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!



I bought a little bin of LEGOs for her at a garage sale (and another little bin for myself of regular LEGOs ;)


I made a helmet for her, but she wouldn't cooperate! This is the only photo I could get, just before it hit the ground and crumbled to pieces.

Chris and Aysu's!

We visited my brother a couple of weekends ago. We had a blast. They have a beautiful home in Huntington Beach. It's like a mini getaway vacation every time we go to visit. I miss Huntington a lot. Even though I didn't live down there very long, we still have loads of memories from the visits every year.

These are some grapes that were growing above their back patio. I usually don't take nice photos, but I liked this one.

Quick Sketches

I wish I had sketched her more often before now. She is quite the expressive baby. She moves around so much, can't get much more than a quick sketch.

Obeying the Law

She's gone hands free.

Family Prayer

We've been trying to have family prayer every night. After a few times she started to copy us. Here's a video of her saying a prayer.

Funny Girl

She's such a ham.
