Our Trip to Colorado

We recently took a trip to Colorado. It was loads of fun. We started by driving through Breckenridge. That's where Beth and I spent our 1 year anniversary. It's pretty crazy, Beth and I have now been married for over a year. It's funny, we've heard from many people that the first year is the hardest. But honestly, our first year was pretty darn awesome. Perhaps that's just because Beth and I are so non-confrontational. We typically only disagree about what to see at the dollar theater, and even then we come to a consensus. So anyhow, we're doing great and looking forward to another fabulous year. So yeah, my parents were able to get us some bonus time on their time share in Breckenridge so we enjoyed a fabulous evening at a top-notch resort. We ate at Downstairs at Eric's of course. The picture below was the one decent picture we got while at Breckenridge. We then moved on to Fort Collins.




Beth insisted that we take some pictures for our one-year anniversary.





Mike was pretty excited about taping up James. He then let James tape him up.



Beth caught in some deep contemplation...

This is the local neighborhood park, Riffenburgh Elementary - where I went long ago. Of course the pard is totally different now - nothing to break any bones on. Parks just aren't like they used to be.




This is our series of "Action Shots"







I volunteered to make James' birthday cake - well actually it was mine and James'. His birthday is on the 15th and mine the 14th. So naturally the cake was Star wars themed.




These are his presents, the t-rex loaded with gummy worms was from Beth and me.








Our next trip was to Vedauwoo - the coolest little oasis of rock formations in Whyoming.







Super-imposed Beth the Hulk












Though a little bit nervous, Beth successfully made her way down the rock face.

That's Jake on his way down.
And of course more action shots.


I love our family. We always have such grand adventures and we get along so well. We all love and support each other and there's no end to the good times and plentiful laughter. Thanks for being so awesome everybody.

4th of July

Here's Brett's 4th of July super outfit.

Beth with little Cody


You can see in the background how many people come together at Sugarhouse Park for the 4th.


Nice little sunset.

This was our ward's float. We actually won an award for Heritage or something. They had us dress up as missionaries and wear our name tags. We have to admit, is was pretty weird - everyone thought we were actually missionaries. It didn't help that we were strolling behind all the REAL missionaries of the Provo mission. Anyway, it was cool to recall how much the members love the missionaries - everyone was like wooh wooh! We love the missionaries and we gave like 10,000 kids high fives.

Then we took tons of pictures of all the floats. We figured this would be the only time we actively participated in a parade so we really got into it.




We with my imposter name tag and a bunch of pirates.

These guys were pretty cool. They're a group of entertainers that are based in St. Geroge.

Someone wasn't paying attention to where they were driving their tank.

And this was an adorable little girl that was dressed up as a pioneer.
