Spending More Time With the Family

As of late I have felt like I have been working a ton and feeling kind of bad about not being home as much as I would like to. I spend 4 hours a day in commuting to and from Salt Lake on the train and a bus. Then I try to get 8.5 to 9 hours in a work all while taking a two hour lunch to go to the gym to get in better shape. I wake up at 5 to catch the 6am train and I have been getting home at around 8:30pm. It sucks! Anyways, I was really feeling bad and really wanted to spend more time with the family. Especially Blaine. So this past Wednesday I got to spend the extra time with my son...in the emergency room. Blaine, the poor kid, fell backwards off a chair at the church and hit his head. He threw up a couple of times and we decided to take him the emergency room just to make sure all was ok (we all remember what happened when I had my concussion, don't we?). Well, everything turned out ok and Blaine was fine. It took less time to see the ER doc than to go to the regular one. However, it did cost 5 times as much. The doctor literally took 5 minutes with us and was able to tell right away that Blaine was ok. So, Blaine is fine and I got some good quality time in the ER with Blaine and Jenny. And, lucky for me, my office is going to 4 days a week so I will have an extra day to play with the fam.

Take me out to the ball game!

Last month we went to a Bees baseball game with our friends Brandon and Katie. It was a lot of fun. I haven't been to a baseball game in years. I really don't know a ton about baseball and neither does Katie. So we spent most of the time talking, but we got some cute pictures. That's the important part right! Ü

Happy 4th of July!

We hope you had a fun 4th of July. We had a lot of fun! We went to Tyson's parents house to swim in their pool and have a BBQ. It was Blaine's first time in a pool. He didn't really like the "Big Kid" pool, but he had fun in the little pool. Here are a few of the pictures we took. There is also a video of Tyson. You will like it! After the BBQ, we went to Layton park to be with my family. The plan was to watch the fireworks, but Blaine didn't make it that long. He got really tired and grumpy so we ended up going back to my parents house. Blaine went to bed and we stayed up and played Loaded Questions (Super fun game! You should try it!) with my parents and Danielle and her friend Spencer.

Blaine's not a fan of the pool.
