Riding ATVs

This year we got a couple of ATVs. We have been having a blast on them. One of the first times Sean and I took them out we popped a tire. I think it was a fluke but we now have a spare tire just incase that happens again. Taylor loves it when I go fast and Kayla and Morgan are starting to learn how to drive them on their own. Lisa hates the steep hills.

Super Mom!

Ok, I have to say that Lisa is a wonderful mother. In fact, other than my mother, I don't think there is better. She cares for our kids so much. She is loving them, teaching them and caring for them 24/7. She takes them to dance, music, practice, voice, karate, school, church, shopping, lunch, friends and then gets them ready for bed. She then showers them, reads to them, prays with them, sings to them and loves them. How lucky am I to have such an angel for my family?



Whenever we are taking pictures Taylor always pulls the funniest faces. Here are some Mother's Day shots that just make me laugh.

Polly's Birthday

My mom and Polly came to visit and see Morgan's play. It was Polly's birthday and Uncle Dick had my mom bring her a cake from California. The cake was beautiful! We had a wonderful time just visisting, singing and opening presents. It is always fun seeing Peggy and Polly together.

Spanish Fork Theatre

Morgan was in play this year in Spanish Fork. She played a few parts and did a great job. The play was fun to watch and we were all really entertaining. Here are a couple of pictures of Morgan in the play.

Got Bunnies

Well I finally have some time to blog a little. I’m down in Las Vegas with our friends the Montgomerys. I just got back from the pool and thought I’d update our blog. In April the kids got bunnies. I was not to happy about that. We had bunnies growing up and two bunnies usually turn into 30 bunnies. Well we now have 4, one for each kid and the other day we found out that we have two male and two female. I think we are in trouble. Also, the other day Kayla ran into the house and said that the bunnies looked weird and sounded like geese.

Remembering the good ol' days

So a friend of mine sent me this video and it brought back major memories. Back in the day, Tyler Davis and I would bring our guitars to seminary and we would make up songs on the fly and then sing them to our women. In fact, we brought our guitars everywhere singing and playing and messing around. Tyler was always the real talented one and I was just the good looking side kick. So when you watch this clip, think of Tyler and I bringing the sexy tunes back, but this time to our wives.

Day 6 - Cancun, Mexico

On Friday we docked in Cancun, Mexico. The waters were probably the most beautiful we had seen on our trip. We quickly boarded a ferry and headed to the Tulum coast to see the Tulum ruins.

A bus took us out to the site. They were amazing. I have seen some ruins in Honduras and across the border of Belize in south Mexico, but I have never seen ruins on the coast like this. We had a guide that told us all about the area and traditions of Mayan people.


After the tour we took the bus to a small beach side club and restaurant called Ak’iin. We ate fajitas with rice and beans and then laid out on the beach. The water was so nice. We swam, read our books and bought two hammocks from a vendor walking down the coast. What a wonderful time we had. We got back on the ferry to return to the ship and the waters were rough. I was getting sick on the ferry. The ferry had trash cans in the aisle ways of the boat. I was on the aisle and this older lady got out of her seat and sat right in front and started throwing up in the trash can. I was dying. I almost lost it and then she finally sat back down. Once back on the cruise liner I was ok.

Day 5 - The Grand Cayman

On Thursday we landed in The Grand Cayman. From the boat the view wasn't as beautiful as Haiti or Jamaica. The land is flat but the waters were gorgeous. We took a Captain Marvin's excursion to Stingray City.
They took us to two dive sites first and then to see the Stingrays. The water was a little rough but it was still awesome.


When we arrived at Stingray City there were a few other boats already there. The boat basically pulls up to a sand barge in the middle of the ocean and you just hop out. There were tons of Stingrays. It was a bit scary at first and then we got used to them. They gave us squid to feed the Rays. They swim up and just suck it out of your hands. They let everyone hold and kiss the Rays for seven years of good luck. They also gave us a back rub with the Rays. It was so much fun.


The excursion took the entire day. We had a few minutes to shop and then back on the boat.
We had dinner with our friends and then played some more cards in the Pharaoh’s lounge.
Every night we find a new friend in our room made out of towels.

Day 4 – Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Again we woke up to a beautiful view - Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

The first thing we did was get on a bus and head to Dolphin Cove to swim with the dolphins. It was so much fun. They made a video of us playing with the dolphins.
At Dolphin Cove they had food, shops, pirates and animals. We took pictures of everything. They then took us to Dunns River, where we climbed the falls. What a cool experience.




Every night we have dinner in this gorgeous three story dinning room. The food is so good. We order two appetizers, two main courses and all the deserts every time. Our waiter is very fun. His name is Putu.
After dinner they were having a Love and Marriage game and Lisa really wanted to be a player. They asked who wanted to play and those that wanted to play had to try out. They asked each couple to say “Oh baby, Oh baby, we want to play” The couple that the audience thought that said it the best got to play. Well, Lisa and I stood up on our chairs, shook our butts at everyone while saying the phrase and won. The game was really funny and we had a blast. We should have won but came in last place.
