Family Band

It was Trevor's dad's 50th birthday at the beginning of August this year. Since he loves music, we decided that we would make a family band and play him a song as his present. Trevor's brother, McLain, has all sorts of instruments (he is like the most musically talented person you will ever meet), and so he taught us each a part on a different instrument. Myself and McLain's wife, Sheri, were on the guitars, Jordan, another of Trevor's brothers was on the bass, and his wife, Jaicee, on the banjo, and then McLain himself was on the mandalin. Trevor sang and played the bongo drums. We decided to play "A horse with no name" I think that's what it's called. Anyway, Trevor set up the camera and tried to record a little bit of it. It's not a great recording and he just set it up so it's on me the whole time, but you can see Jordan in the background. It definately wasn't the best performance in the world, but we all had a great time learning and performing it and his Dad absolutely loved it.

Summer Reunions

This summer Trevor and I had 3 family reunions to go to, which kept us on our toes and away from home a lot of the time. I already posted some pictures of the Stewart reunion (which is Trevor's mom's side). We also had a Tangren reunion (Which is my dad's side), and then the Knutson reunion. Here are just a few pics from the last two.

Back to the Grind

School starts this week for both Trevor and I, and neither of us are super excited about it. I was actually kind of dreading it (even though I could've been done I decided to come back for another degree), but then today I had my orientation meeting for dental hygiene and got all my tools and my "first patient."
So now I'm a little more excited about it all. I'll be going to school for 2 more years now, and Trevor only has one more year left in his diesel mechanic program, but wishes he was done already. He is not the biggest fan of school and homework!! Needless to say, we will be super busy now trying to fit everything in, so I will do my best at keeping the blog updated.

Grandma's Party

This past weekend was my Grandma's 71st Birthday Party so we went to Draper to celebrate with the fam. We found this cool toy in my Uncle's garage and started playing around with it. Pretty fun, and some good exercise too (especially on the driveway slope.) This is me trying to do some cool stuff, but I'm not even strong enough to get going.

We also started playing on the trampoline and showing off our tricks.... of which I have none. Here is Trevor's best attempt at toe touches.


For those who don't know, my Grandma is Mexican and so she had to sing some Spanish songs for all of us. It was kinda cool, but at the same time, I couldn't even really tell she was singing different songs. They all just sound the same to me and Trevor. But we had some awesome Mexican food... the traditional beans and rice with Tri-tip and some delicious chicken.

Sweet Cruiser

I won this sweet cruiser bike at Macey's grocery store when I was working in December. But a few weeks ago we decided to get me a mountain bike so I could go on some trails with Trevor. I'm so glad we bought it and I am loving it, but now I am trying to sell my cruiser. If anyone is looking for an awesome road bike or know anyone who is, please let me know. It is an '07 Raleigh Retro Glide and freakin' sweet. It has a big comfy seat, one gear, and coaster brakes. I haven't even really ridden it at all. I rode it to school at UVU for the spring semester (there and back for 4 months) and that is it. It is in mint condish. We are asking $300 for it or best offer.

Funny Hunny

On Friday we both took the day off so we could just spend some time with each other by ourselves. It seems like every time we have had to take a day off it's because we have to go somewhere out of town or have things to do all day. So on Friday we just slept in and rented some movies and just played around all day. It was so great. We also had to get things ready for him to go to drill- which started Friday night. We were getting his sleeping bag ready and we got distracted during the process and Trevor ended up rolling around in it and acting like a caterpillar or something. It was pretty entertaining for me, anyway.
