WOW!!! Where have I been.... Just to try and get back on the swing of things, life has definitely had its ups and downs. It has been going well so far. Business is starting to pick up again now that the rain has gone and the sun is shinning more often then not. I have been pushing the DJ business quite a bit more. I have partnered up with another local company to be able to dominate the market here in St. George. I have been spending a lot of time working on the condo where I am staying to get it up to date with the new times. The kids are great as you can tell from our recent pictures. Life continues to be very hard , but you must not get down on yourself. I have been trying to stay positive in order to survive this horrible economy. I hope everyone is doing well. I hope I can do better at this blogging thing again...

MY MISSING TEETH

As you can see my little one is really growing. I Pulled her first tooth out on fathers day. It was so funny she did not even cry. I just grabbed it with a papertowel and yanked. It took three times before it came out but not a tear in her eye. She is a tough girl. Then a week or two later we did the same drill over again. Now its two missing teeth!

What an exciting weekend we have had. A nice trip to St. George to take Kaydence down for a dance competion. She is such a good dancer. It brings tears to my eyes every time she comes out on stage. I guess I am a proud father.

It has been a very long time since I have made any progress on my end. Life has been busy as I have been trying to survive this wonderful economy. I have had to let go of a few things to survive. I have also moved out of my place into a new place where all I do is rent a room. It just so happens to be in Doug and Stacey's old stompping grounds. Midvale Ut. I am sure they miss it as much as I dont like living in this part of town but you do what you do. I have been steady with work and trying to stay above water with the rest of you. Yes my ex and I have been getting along very well lately and are trying to see if we can work through our problems. My two kids have enjoyed having Dad around much more and Tara tells me they have been so happy. I cant wait to see what the future brings. I was just at my dads in St. George playing in a softball tournament with the old friends there. It is so much fun to be around them again. I will try to keep everyone posted on the future. I sure miss my grandfather who passed in December. It was so great to see all of my cousins and family in Arizona. God bless all of you!

Hey everyone. It has been awhile since I have written. I was told by a friend that I needed to update things. Since my last entry many things have happened. First I was very lucky to go see Carrie Underwood in concert. It was very good and I ran into two of my best friends there. I have been trying very hard to make wonderful memories with all my family. The kids and I went to St. George for Thanksgiving and had a good time. We went out and took some more pictures together. I have such a wonderful family. Before I left to head down I met a very wonderful girl who has sparked my interest. Thing have been going very well for us. Today the kids are here and we got our second little snow storm and they wanted to go play so I let them. Work is still going well. I have been working on some highrise condos in downtown Salt Lake City. Its really nice to see the view from so far up. I will be excited to get X-Mas over with as it is a hard time for me knowing I will not have the kids, but we will do our christmas early. I have been doing well at going to the gym and staying fit. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures and thanks to my sister for giving me a flatiron to help me out with kaydence and her hair.

Well here we are at another exciting weekend. I have been very happy this week cause I have had my kids since Friday. I love having my kids every chance I get. Today started off reall well. We first got up and I made french toast for my little angels.When then left the house and found our way to Cabela's where we looked at all the different animals they had mounted there. The kids loved seeing all of them. Parker wanted to go swimming with all the fish:) He is a crazy kid. We then made our way to Ogden where the airplane museum was. It was at Hill Airforce Base. Parker is so fascinated with planes. He was just jumping up and down the whole time. After that we were all hungry so out to diner we went. The food was great. We went to Lonestar Steakhouse. Today i acclompished something new with kaydence. I tried a ponytail. It looked ok for my first time. I just could not seem to get all the hair to stay tight. So if you have any ideas or just want to show me sometime that would be great. I am trying to stay up to date with everything. We are so excited to go to my parents home for Thanksgiving. See you soon!

This is my friend Matt that got hit in the face with a softball at the tourney I was at in St.George.

2008-11-10T20:08:00.002-07:00

I can't tell you how funny this kid is. For any of those who know Parker you will know what I am talking about.

2008-11-10T20:03:00.002-07:00

Here are the kids having fun cleaning out their pumpkins that they had so much fun doing.

Allright just a little update on what has been happening in my life. First of all I have been very busy with work and being Daddy. I took the kids to see Madagascar 2 on Saturday and that was a new experience. They did very well. Parker had a little trouble but we made it. Halloween was fun but when the kids arrived at my place for the night they had already taken there costumes partially off. So I am waiting for pictures and will post them soon. The weather has been crazy cold and I am not quite sure if I am ready for all the snow. I am doing well and am recovering from my softball accident when I was in St.George playing softball. I am looking forward to seeing everyone for thanksgiving, and enjoy 5 whole days with my wonderful kids. Here are a few pictures that have been taken of the kids.

Today was a real challenge for me. I really got to test my Daddy skills by trying to do something with Kaydence's hair. I finally figured out the curling iron so its only time before I try something else. Who's Beautiful kids are these any ways. Sorry everyone if I seem proud but I think I have every reason right now. I love these kids.

2008-10-18T20:02:00.003-06:00

I think I am getting the hang of this now. Thanks to my favorite Sister-In-Law Tiffany.Kaydence was jealous she wanted her own picture. I was ok with that it gave me a reason to add more.

2008-10-18T19:57:00.002-06:00

I think my kids love each other. At least Parker's big sister Kaydence loves him. Its nice to see he is not into girls right now, but he sure can flirt.

Well Here we are again at the end of another week. Today has been so much for me having my beautiful kids for the weekend. I am excited to be the best dad in the world. It was hard trying to find some places to take our pictures, but with the help of my wonderful sister she called in a favor to a relative up here that put us in the right place. Things are getting better for me as I continue to keep a positive attitude. I can't tell all of you how gratefull I am for all the help and support I get. I sure enjoy hearing from all of you. I am excited to go to St. George next weekend to play softball. I still am doing finish work but it is getting way to cold. I bought a new camera today so i will try to keep this up to date. Take care and I will touch base later.
