Friday we went up to Logan. Laura's brother Daniel graduated from Bear River High. Here are some pictures.

Saturday we went out to Laura's parents house to practice shooting. Laura got to shoot her first 44 mag. It had a nice kick!

Life is full of ups and downs. lately it has gone through some down time, but the future is bright and things are going forward with great strength and light.

Our family is about to embark on a new adventure. We are selling our house and we will be moving on to bigger and better things. I pray that all will go well.

Wish us luck!!

This weekend is LDS General Conference and we listened to the talks and enjoyed them. We took a break and went up to Laura's parents house and did a little shooting in the back yard. It was awesome! We shot the 45 and my friends rifle. Then it started to get cold and a light snow began to fall so we went inside. Later we went into town and had some dinner at the Taco Time. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

What a nice Easter weekend!!! The weather was great and we had a lot of fun. Saturday we took A.J. down to the Salt Palace for an Easter egg hunt. We barely made it. A.J. wasn't quite sure what he was doing. All the little kids started running to go and get the eggs and A.J. was just taking his time to get down to where the eggs where. Then the bigger kids were let loose and by that time A.J. had figured out that he neeeded to run and start getting eggs.

The rest of Saturday was spent shooting guns at Laura's parents house. Our friends Danny and Kim came up and spent the day with us. Danny brought his firearms for us to shoot. Then we got pizza and cheese breadsticks from Pizza Plus in Tremonton. It was a nice day.

Easter Sunday we went over to the Kinikini house and had an easter egg hunt with their kids in the back yard. It was a lot of fun.

After church we headed down south to Mapleton to celebrate our nephew Gabe's birthday. We had good food and good conversation.


It was nice to visit with the family this weekend. Below are some pictures from the easter egg hunts.

Here is A.J. at the Easter egg hunt downtown.

I am home from Vegas. I had a good time. We met yesterday with Sprint and it was good. We were able to discuss some of things they have to offer us and existing services. Tuesday night I went and walked around by myself and just did some people watching. Interesting people in Las Vegas.

These are pictures from the Sprint office

Today I am in Las Vegas. I flew in this morning and we went to play golf at Prim Valley golf course on the California side of the boarder between California and Nevada. It was a nice day and perfect weather to play golf. Tonight we had dinner at Emeril's at the MGM Grand. I am here to meet with Sprint so they can show us their Wireless options. I am here with my boss Ron and my co-worker Chris. Tomorrow we go to the Sprint Data Center to see what they have to offer.

I am finally home. I have been very bad about documenting this trip. I had been feeling sick to my stomach the last two days in Russia which made for a difficult time to enjoy things. I have posted some pictures below and I will comment on each of them.


This is a picture of one of the biggest idots I have seen in a long time. We had been waiting in line for about 10 minutes to have our turn at this window and when it comes our turn Chris starts going up to the window and this Jack A pushes Chris out of the way and starts talking to the lady at the window. So I took a picture of him to show you what an idot looks like.


Two of the girls from the office took us to this cool outdoor market. Even though it was snowing they still had it open. They sold all kinds of souvenirs for cheap. They had tons of stuff from the Soviet era.

I haven't put a lot of pictures on here and I feel like a slacker. I have posted all my pictures on my Facebook page, but I understand that not everyone wants to have a Facebook page just to look at my pictures. So here are a few more pictures from my trip.

This is the grocery store next to our hotel.


This is a picture of the building that our new office is in.

since I can't bring back a real gun I will have to settle for this lighter.

Here is a picture from Red Square. You have Lenin's tomb on the right and behind that is the Kremlin. In the distance is St. Basil's Cathedral.

Here is a statue of Lenin

This is the hotel that we are staying in. It is a very nice hotel.

Another McDonalds Moment.

Today we went to the office and waited till the equipment was delivered. We got things arranged in the server room. The server room is the only room in the entire office that is almost complete. There is still no power, so we had the electrician bring in some temporary power. The rest of the office is still under construction. The building is nice, so it should be a good place for business.

I was just looking on KSL and they just announced that President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away. I'm interested to see the reaction of people.

Today I wanted to go check out a building that was done in the Stalanist style. This is the Hotel Leningradskaya. There are several buildings around Moscow that are built in this style.


This afternoon Chris and I went with Natalia from our Moscow office to Red Square. We went on the Metro. When we got close to Red Square I took a little video. In the video you can see another building that is done in the same style as the hotel above.

So this morning after we got checked into our hotel we went over to McDonalds to get lunch. They didn't take credit cards so we went to the bank to change our money. So I hand the lady at the bank my money and she starts asking me questions and since I don't speak Russian I had no idea what she was asking. I felt pretty stupid, but luckily the lady next to her understood that I wanted to change my money. The lady that was helping me was very disgusted that I didn't speak Russian. I wish I did, I was embarrassed. So we went to McDonalds to eat lunch and I a little bit easier time ordering food, but there was still a language barrier. After lunch I went back to the hotel and took a nap. I ended up sleeping until about 8:00 at night. I woke up and went over to my travel buddy's (His name is Chris also) room to wake him up to go get some dinner. We went down to the hotel restaurant, but they wanted like $58 each for dinner. We went back to McDonalds. Here is a video inside McDonalds. We were eating in the upstairs dinning area. This place has been crowded both times we went there.

I'm here in Moscow and I just woke up from a long nap. I just posted some of my pictures here. I will be posting more of my pictures on my Facebook page.

Well, I'm in Moscow. It's cold and snowy here. The flight wasn't too bad. I will post pics and such as the week goes on.

Last Saturday we Celebrated Analise's 1st bithday. It was a lot of fun. Analise loved her cake as you can see in the pictures below. I can't believe it's already been one year since she was born.

I 'm heading out of the country again to Russia in a week. I will post pictures while I am there.

Last night we had our church Christmas party. I think A.J. asked for a Ninja Turtle from Santa.

Well, it was the first day of snow for this winter and A.J. was begging to go out in it. Here are some pictures of his little adventure.

This weekend I went shooting with my neighbor. It was fun, but it was cut a little bit short. Laura went with my neighbors wife to take the kids to Thanksgiving Point. On the way there their car broke down. We went out to Draper to see what was going on with the car. The car was having some serious problems and they had to call the tow truck. So we gave them the car we were driving and I had my brother come and pick us up and take us to my parents house. Then my Mom took us out to Danny's house and we got his truck. We went and looked at guns for a while.

It's 5:46 AM and I am getting ready to head off to work. I just added some links to my homepage. I still can't get my guestbook to work. I'm goin got have to figure a different way to do it. I have lots of pictures of the kids that need to be added.
