Cabellas and Sleeping

Posted by Mark:

It's a fact of life that once you have children the predominant topic you write about is ones child. Here yet again is a post about Spencer. Never fear though. I'm finishing up a project that I'll be sure to blog about in the coming weeks.

Anyway, Last week was the Bountiful High School Homecoming. The good part about living across the street from a high school on homecoming week is that on the Thursday there is a parade that travels past our house where lots of candy gets thrown in our direction as we watch on the front lawn. The bad part about living across the street from a high school on home coming week is the Football game, where hundreds of people park up and down your street. Not wanting to be around for the madness we decided to make a trip down south and visit Ikea to buy some chairs, and visit Cabellas to look at guns! (Ken recently got a job in the gun department at Cabellas for his retirement dream job) So we thought it would be fun to check out his new gig. Anyway while at Cabellas we of course had to check out the aquarium and see if Spencer would enjoy it.

 Well of course he did! He's an easy boy to please.

I like this picture cause it shows how old Spencer is looking.

Lastly, before Kimmi and I head to bed we always just go check on Spencer to make sure he's not dead. Sunday I was laying in bed when Kimmi walks in our room and tells me that I HAVE to come see Spencer. Here's what we found:

How this is comfortable I'll never know. I almost started laughing so hard I quickly ran out of the room so I wouldn't wake him up. We just HAD to take a photo.

Rugby

Posted by Mark:

I became a fan of rugby later in life. In fact it wasn't till my mission that I knew anything about the sport. I flew into Melbourne on June 10th 2002, after getting my first companion and doing a little grocery shopping, we headed to the chapel where a group of elders were getting together to watch that weeks rugby game. (We were allowed to watch sports on our P-Day) Maybe it was the fact that I had just got off a 15 hour flight, or that I knew nothing of the sport, but either way I quickly fell asleep in the corner quite bored with my first day in Australia. Quickly though I learned to love the sport through weekly game watching and by playing touch rugby with the elders for a little exercise. Since a lot of the elders who served in my mission were from New Zealand we ALWAYS watched the All Blacks. They soon became my favorite team but I still held a place in my heart for the Wallabys since they were the national team of Australia. Anyway, after the mission I lost touch with Rugby. I of course went to a few of the U of U rugby games but never got to see anything to the level I got used to on the mission. Lately however, things have changed.

Currently the 2011 Rugby world cup is being played and I couldn't be happier to watch a few games on my TV at home. Kimmi and Spencer of course could care less but for my sake, to help with the spirit of the whole thing I pulled out my souvenir ruby ball and made Spencer wear the coolest little Wallaby's jersey ever that we recently got sent to us by some good friends in Australia. I always say that if Spencer ever wants to play football he's going to have to be the kicker cause I'd rather he not get hurt.... However, Contrary to what I just said, if he wants to play rugby I have absolutely no problem with that... Kimmi of course does not concur with my thinking. Either way he's pretty dang cute.

According to my iPhone......

...... Spencer is pretty much adorable!
