now, i dont mean to make fun of jeffry lee here, but i cant help it: he told me that he had gotten a new haircut and wanted me to see it, so i told him to take a picture and send it to me. the then proceeded to send me this photo. i dont know about you, but i can hardly see the haircut! hey jeffry lee, if you are sending a picture of your hair, try to have your hair fill more than 1% of said photo! well, at least he's got his guns out...
i always try to sneak a picture with my camera, but that lil' bugger always sees it coming!

why does he have a sock on his head? the better question is why doesnt he always have a sock on his head! he is so cute!
it looks like he is gazing off into the distance, thinking about life, the universe, and everything... he really is a philosopher, that one!
why are you looking at me? i dont have any food for you.
he's wondering why his dad is always taking pictures. his mom wonders the same thing...
ha! he is so tiny! 
oh, now that looks much better, right? diana was very pleased with the new look- its like we got a new front yard! 
it was a great day for diana and i. we were very excited to join our new church and have so many loved ones around us to celebrate with us!
on the way out i saw bubba walking with his shirt untucked and i just thought he looked so cool in that parking lot, so i took a picture and i think its a good one, so i figured i would share it! 
bubba got sick of playing ds against me because he didnt know how to play any of my games... oh well, he still had fun playing his own games!
after a while he wanted to just play some good old fashioned mario kart with his dear old dad!

this sign was located in our shower. i'm not entirely sure what it means, but i thought it was quite funny! 
when we first arrived in salt lake city there was too much fog to even be able to see the mountains, but finally the morning we left we were able to see the beautiful wasatch mountains in all their snow-covered glory! i was very happy about that, i had always told diana how amazing the mountains are in utah, and on our trip we almost didnt even get to see them!
another spot that is amazing up in the mountains is park city. its a little town surrounded by ski resorts and hosts the annual sundance film festival. its only about a half hour from salt lake city, and i really wanted to show diana just how cool the place is! we got to drive through it and check it out on our way home.
diana loved walking up this path and picking up random rocks and stuff!
