Warmer Weather Brings GOLF

Thought I'd slap this photo up here... we played in the Amicus Open at Wasatch State Park in Midway. It rained, then sunshine, then rained, then sun, you get where I'm going.

We had a really fun time playing, shot a 64. Sean bombed a couple of drives that we very much needed. and Tyler sank two huge putts, one for an Eagle and the other a birdie. I got longest drive and nearly blew out my back... I think they say, "go big or go home?"

End of School

We had fun while finishing off the school year. Saige is done with preschool. She will enter the halls of the big-girl school, Meadow Elem. where Elle just finshed the 5th grade. She will return as a student council member and a 6th grader!

Millissa is down in Arizona on a girls trip (Mom, Angela, Carrie and Jen)
Elle has spent the week at Clear Creek. This was her first time being away from home for this long. This year has really done something to Elle. She has been exposed to many new things. All I can say is she's not the little girl you all new in the passed.

enjoy the update.

Easter morning

The Band

Well it started out just like any other gig... we woke up to some newly fallen snow. But that was not going to keep us from the night of all nights. We were informed that the Castle on the Hill had received more snow than the valley had. But still, nothing could keep us from our fans...

Before the gig we each made little pizzas (from Millissa's famous pizza recipe) and had some snacks. We set up out gear and tried out a few riffs, licks and did our sound check. We were pretty rusty, not playing together for some time. But, as soon as we worked through the rust it was like old times. We all meshed perfectly together like nuts and bolts, as though we had never been apart. Even Lance and his La bamba were dead on!

The night was filled with high kicks, hand motions and all together fun.

Thanks Natalie and Justin for the Venue, Melanie and Lance for being such good sports.
Video - sorry it's poor quality. Guess we should talk to our stage hands for that. Anyway thanks Morgan, Elle, Natilie and Millissa for the great views.

Enjoy the video...

..:: CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT ::..

ONE NIGHT ONLY
For all you metalheads out there. "The Band" is getting together and shed some new stuff. Saturday, April 4th "The Band" will be in Elk Ridge, Utah. This gig will only last one night. So put the kids in the play room and bring your cameras, Cause it's gonna be sick!

Witness hits from the most recent and mind blowing Guitar Hero - Metallica. We will also be playing hits from Areosmith, and various other classic rock titles. "The Band" would like to thank the good folks of Elk Ridge, and the Castle on the Hill. They have set up a great venue for this event. We will see you all there - and you know who YOU are...




Videos and day of photos will be posted later.

Jazz Night

We scored some Jazz tickets for the Jazz vs Suns. What an amazing game it was from the 2nd row! Jazz ended up winning 104-99 in over time.


Court side after the game.

Been A While

It's bee a while... We got an Irish parade and pizza...



Millissa's Pizza - WOW, it's good!

Waiting, not to watch the parade, but to be in the parade.

Rock'n

We spent Valentines Day with the Hendersons, they live in Elk Ridge, they have one of best views of Utah county. Anyway, we spent the night eating and listening to all the kids play. We got the band together and rocked out with Guitar Hero and Rockband. I forgot our camera so Natalie captured us playing. I think all she really wanted was to catch Millissa singing... she did. We had a great night, thanks Natalie and Justin.

Song of choice
Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi

Valentines Day

Millissa - I love ya!

Who knew?

This is what happens when you leave your computer unattended on a Sunday afternoon... and your daughters get a hold of it. For those of you who thought Elle is shy, just check this out. I think I could use this down the road.

Sundance Film Festival 09

We had a great time up at the film festival, thanks to Buddy and Sam. They have been telling us we needed to go to at least one show... that's gone on for years. Well, this year they were working at the box office. (as they have in years past) They got Millissa tickets for her birthday. After the movie we spent the night walking the streets of Park City. There were no stars out, mostly people walking from party to party. It was a great experience, and we had a lot of fun.

the movie we saw:
BRIEF INTERVIEWS WITH HIDEOUS MEN
Screenwriter: John Krasinski (Jim from The Office)

Happy Birthday Millissa

33. Yup, that's how old Millissa is. I know you can't tell, she looks 21... Anyway, a little birthday update. We spent the day doing a little shopping, lunch at the Outback and a movie. Paul Blart, Mall Cop. She ordered her own presents online. So there wasn't really anything to open except for cards, some flowers and a new phone. You should see her text...
