Utah Man Sir A Utah Man Am I


Just thought I would get in on the whole rivalry thing.
GO UTES!!!
(This coming from a BYU graduate)

Winning Monopoly in real life!


Last night Clayton and I went to the Jazz game (where they beat the Bucks and I got to see Andrew Bogut again!!!). We were pulling into a parking lot to pay to park when a man walking towards our car waved to have us roll down our window. He handed us a "free parking" pass for the lot. That totally made our night! What a nice person! I don't know why he had an extra "free parking" pass but we were grateful.
So whoever you were, Thank You!!





Just thought you would all like to see a picture of my favorite non-Jazz player, Andrew Bogut. He played for the U of U before he was drafted by the Bucks. Another great Aussie!

Benjamin and Houston

A lot of people have asked us about how Houston is doing with Benjamin. They are doing really good together.

When we first brought Benjamin home, Houston was so cute to watch. He always needed to know where Ben was. If Benjamin was sleeping in the crib, we would have to show Houston so he would calm down. Houston's not as worried about him now, I think he has finally realized that Benjamin is here to stay.

Houston is really good around him, he won't bark at him - however he will bark at strangers outside, which does startle Ben. Houston really loves lotion, as in to lick who ever is wearing it. So, as you can image sometimes that is a problem.

Houston's saddest part of this new person he has to share mine and Lisa's attention with is not being able to sit on Lisa's lap as often. There are plenty of times Benjamin will share the lap with him, the only thing we are working on is Houston thinks that means he can sit on Ben's laps while sitting on Lisa's.

We love them both and look forward to them growing up together.
