I'm kind of liking this missionary week. With the TV off, my boys and I have played basketball, pool, worked in the yard, and just had a good time. On Wednesday Nicole made us this killer pasta dinner, and Logan and Hunter and I ate an entire pan. Then Diane and Tamara came in from Phonix to stay over at our house while traveling back up to Canada. Amber and Mitch called and their car broke down 100 miles outside of Austin on Tuesday night, so they had to get towed to Austin. It sounds like it's a cracked block or radiator, so I think it may be a bit of money. Amber was good about it though, even though it was the day before they left to Cancun. She said, "Well, now I guess I know what it's like to be a grown-up!" Hunter and I played pool and basketball, and Hunter beat me at both.
Thursday was a great day. I woke up, rode my bike with Kerry for 26 miles, worked, came home and talked with the neighbors and weeded the yard. The sun was out, it was beautiful, and I was nice to everyone! Life is good.

April 22nd through 26th, 2011 - 133rd through 137th Days
What a weekend! All my family got here either late Thursday, or on Friday. Kerry and I went to work and no one had called in for the first three hours, so we closed up shop! We decided it wasn't good to work on "Good Friday", so we spent the day with the family. Friday night we all got together at the park with the Huntsmans and we decided to play a touch football game. We divided up the teams by putting all the people 20 years and older on one team, and all those 20 years and younger on the other team. I quickly found out that people under 20 are much faster and in better shape than those of us 40 and older! Imagine that! I was gassing like a dog, and all the tweenieboppers were not even breathing hard. It didn't help that they convinced us they needed to have Mitch's dad be their quarterback. We relented and agreed. The problem? Mitch's dad was a collegiate quarterback and picked us apart all day. We had a bunch of 40 somethings trying to throw the ball downfield farther than their abilities allowed. So, two things happened. First, our passes looked like drunk, wobbling ducks, and we were intercepted about 500 times. All-in-all, we didn't do too bad, however, and we scored 21 points to their 35, so at least it was respectable. I think Kerry and I are going to stick to bike riding and let the tweenieboppers run the football field in the future, however. Friday night all the teens and post teens got together at Kerrys and talked until the wee hours, so I'm glad I was at home not sleeping, rather than over at his house not sleeping.
Saturday we woke up early and went to the temple. The sealing was amazing! We had all of our family and a few close friends in the temple with us. Then, we walked outside and everyone else was waiting for us. Amber looked absolutely beautiful. We then went to the church and had a fantastic luncheon and we got to say a few words about Amber and Mitch. I started crying before I even began speaking. I am such a mushy gushy. When we were done we had to head over to the reception hall and finish up the final touches. We started taking pictures at 5:30, and by the time we were done there were already people at 6:45 lining up. We stood in line and greeted people for a straight 2 1/2 hours. My feet were so tired they felt like noodles, but it was great to feel of all the love and support from friends. At the end, I got to have the daddy/daughter dance with Amber and we laughed the entire time. The song was about 45 minutes long, or so it seemed, so once my legs fell off, we ended the dance. I think I was supposed to cry, and not laugh, but Amber and I are a little different. We definitely laugh more than we cry, so why should it be any different when we're dancing? By the time we finished the reception it was about 10:00 and then my entire family came back and helped us clean up! It was so nice to not have to do it by ourselves. We were completely done and out of the hall by 10:45! WOW, what a day! That was one of the best days of my life.
On Sunday we started our youth missionary day. We challenged the youth to live like missionaries for an entire week. No cell phones, TV, music, etc. They are to be home by 9:00, in bed by 10:30, and up by 6:30. They need to do 30 minutes of exercise, write in their journals, and say morning and night time prayers. They also were called to a mission (like Russia, Cost Rica, etc). They were challenged to learn as much as they could about the mission, and report to their families. Should be a fun week. We'll see. I agreed to do it with them.
Monday and Tuesday were same-o-same-o. I already get up at 6:30, so Kerry and I got up and rode for 21 miles and then when I came home from work Hunter told us about his mission (Chicago), and Logan told us about his (Russia). We then had a great Family Home Evening. On Tuesday we were again up early and Kerry and I again rode 20 miles and half way through the day we went up to see Logan and Hunter play soccer in Cedar. The varsity actually lost to Canyon View, which is akin to losing to a team of 4th graders. It was quite humiliating. Oh well, afterwards we got to eat waffles at IHOP, it doesn't get much better than that.
Here are a few early pictures of the wedding:

April 19th through 21st, 2011 - 130th through 132nd Day
On Tuesday we played Hurricane in soccer and it was a great match. Both teams were doing well, and Logan was having a great game. It was the second overtime, and there was only a few minutes left. We got called for a penalty, and Hurricane got a penalty kick, but it was on the 50, so we didn't worry much about it. The ball boucned high, however, and Logan misjudged it and Hurricane scored. I felt so bad for Logan, he was just devastated. We lost the game 3-2 in double overtime. It's kind of how are season has gone. Logan doesn't normally get down, but he really took this one hard. By Wednesday he had bounced back, but it's hard to be a goalie's parent sometimes. I told him I still think he's the best goalie around.
Wednesday was clean the house and fix the faucet day! I never realized how much junk get clogged in faucets. Logan and Mitch and I were replacing the faucet and I thought Mitch was going to throw up when he saw all the hair/gunk, etc. He had that gag reflex thing going, and I thought he was going to spew all over the floor. I was really tired by the time I got to bed.
Thursday was great. At 3:00 we went over to the barn to decorate for Amber's reception. It was A LOT of hard work, but we had a ton of friends to help. Kerry and Kim, the Macllelans, Bonnie Jones, Sherrie Reeder, Tonya Neilson, Kelly Anderson, Mitch and Amber, Kaylee and her friend Halie, and my two boys, were all helping. We had to clean the chairs, put on the chair covers, put on bows, steam the tablecloths, hang pictures, hang banners, put up spot lights, and do about 1,000 other things. I never knew it was so hard to set up for a reception! However, it looked fantastic! I couldn't believe how nice it looked. We worked from 3:00 to 10:00, and then we all came home exhausted. We finally got to bed at about 1:00 in the morning. At about 4:30, Nicole was restless, so I work up as well (I'm a light sleeper). I said, "Why are you awake at 4:30?" She said, "I'm just so excited! My brain is going, and I can't get back to sleep!" I can honestly say, I don't think this happens to guys! I told her that if she didn't get back to sleep, she was going to crash and burn on Friday, but I still think she stayed up a while. I have to admit, it was exciting to see everything come together. However, it wasn't so exciting that I couldn't sleep. I think the only time I couldn't sleep was after I got my Pinarello, and even then, I think it only cut into about 4 minutes of sleep time. Getting good sleep has never been a problem of mine, I could sleep standing up if there was a pillow attached to the wall. Come to think of it, I could sleep standing up even if there wasn't a pillow attached to the wall!
My family all gets in on Friday. Keith got in last night. Should be an exciting couple of days! Things I learned today: 1st, Mitch is a weenie! (just kidding Mitch). 2nd, It's hard to see your kids have heartache. 3rd, Setting up for a daughter's reception is akin to setting up for the Superbowl, only more difficult. 4th, Setting up for your daughter's reception is much more rewarding than setting up for the Superbowl.

April 15th through 18th, 2011 - 126th through 129th Days
Friday we had a soccer game and Logan was Awesome! He was blocking shots all over the place. We were playing Desert Hills, one of our main rivals, at home. It was 0-0 and there was only a minute and 30 seconds left in the game. Then guess what happened? Right, another foul by our player in the goalie box, and they get a free shot. We all started chanting, "Logan, Logan, Logan!" Well, they scored and we lost 1-0. What a bad way to lose! But, I was proud of myself, I didn't yell at the refs, or even raise my voice. Whenever I'd get mad I'd just say, "Kerry, yell at that ref"! Hey, at least it's a start!
Saturday was a big day because we got to take Amber through the temple for the first time. The temple is so quiet and peaceful, it was a great way to start off the Saturday. Then I came home, and went shopping with Kaylee at Costco and we were nice to everyone! I then called Ken Sheppard up and we went for a bike ride. At night we went to Kaylee Reeder's wedding reception out in Toquerville. It was really nice. We got so busy with everything that was happening in the day we forgot to pick up Logan's corsage for the Senior ball. The place where we ordered the corsage from, Bloomers, had already closed, so what did Nicole do? She made one for Logan's date. And, no surprise, it was gorgeous. Sometimes I think there is nothing my wife can't do. I think next week I'm going to have her make me a suit out of cottage cheese. I'm sure she could make it look fantastic, although it may be a little hard to dry clean.
On Sunday I had a nice, peaceful day. As I've mentioned before, it's always easy to be nice to others on Sunday. I was able to go to church, read, and sleep for an hour or so. At night we had a leadership meeting and learned about bringing the lost sheep back into the fold. It was really nice.
Monday was a busy day. I worked, then came home, made salsa, cooked dinner, cleaned up, and then went to a choir concert my son, Logan, was participating in. The concert was nice, but I have to admit, it was kind of long. One song was 30 minutes. Now, I appreciate music as much as the next guy (and my son's choir was incredible), but listening to one song for 30 minutes is akin to standing in line at Disneyland for an hour when you have to go to the bathroom. You get just a little ansy! I also began organizing my 25 year mission reunion. I started a group on Facebook, and within an hour 34 people from my mission were part of the group. It should be really fun seeing everyone again. We're going to have a nice dinner, a little program, and a slide show. It will be a little bit of work, but I called a few of my mission buddies and we have a little committee going that should help out.
This week is going to be an adventure. My daugther, Amber, gets married on Saturday, April 23rd. I can't believe I have a daughter old enough to get married! I guess that means I'm getting kind of old Oh well, at least I haven't got a big beer belly yet (just a little soda pop can belly at the moment!).

April 13th and 14th, 2011 - 124th and 125th Days
Wednesday was clean day in preparation for Kaylee coming home. We were all so excited, that it was pretty easy to be nice to everyone, but I still find I'm a little tense for some reason. Could it be that my daughter is getting married in less than a week? No, that's probably not it. So we cleaned and cleaned and cleaned some more. I dusted, and dusted, and then dusted after I was done dusting. Every time I dust I think of the fact that dust is made up of dead skin cells, dried feces and dessicated corpses of dust mites! Great thought, huh? Well, I think I wiped out my fare share of dessicated corpses Wednesday night, I'll tell you that! I'm sure the live dust mites were running in fear as the giant bald guy with the can of funiture polish and the humongous rag was moving in for the kill!
Thursday was an awesome day! The entire day until 5:00 felt like it was a week long, however. We took the family and drove down to Las Vegas to pick her up. Logan couldn't come, because his soccer coach has a rule--you miss practice the day before a game, you don't play the next day. When Kaylee got off the plane, hugs and tears were flying like dessicated dust mite corpses! It was so great to see her.. She had been up for 24 hours, so she was very tired, but she wanted to eat American food so we took her to Cafe Rio and she ate an ENTIRE pork salad! Kaylee eating an entire pork salad is akin to the normal person eating an entire cow! She must have been hungry. I've heard the Englishmen don't have very good food. That's why everyone says, "I'd rather eat an American rock then an English steak!" (I'm not sure that everyone actually says that, but I'm sure it's true nonetheless). In fact, Kaylee kind of proved it when she engulfed the pork salad. Maybe the saying should be, "I'd rather eat an American pork salad than English liver." (P.S. Kaylee wasn't so fond of the liver they served her).
When we got home, Kaylee gave us our presents. She gave Hunter a very cool leather soccer ball, Logan an English hat, Amber and Mitch some noodles from Italy, Amber some lingerie, Nicole a hat, and me some chocolate. However, she also gave me something else, and it was the best present. For the last three months she's been taking pictures of "NO Cyclists" signs all across Europe. Then, she put it to music and had a really cute message at the end. It meant a lot to me that she would put that much effort into something for me. It's been so fun to have Kaylee back home!

April 11th and 12th, 2011 - 122nd and 123rd Day
I wanted to plant my garden on Monday, so I headed to Home Depot in search of plants. I didn't realize there were 4,000 different kind of tomato plants! After doing the ini mini miny moe to pick the tomatoes, then I decided to buy some peppers. I found out there are 5,000 kinds of peppers. Well, this went on and on, until I finally just picked a few, then grabbed a bag of seeds for cucumbers, cilantro, onions, and Anaheim peppers. By the time I got home it was 8:30 and dark, but I was determined to plant. Logan held the flashlight, and I dug the holes, then I held the flashlight while he dug the holes. We then planted about 25 Anaheim seeds, so I'm sure I'll have Anaheim peppers coming out my nose. I didn't even get to plant the other seeds yet, so I'll have to do that later this week. The lady at home depot was very helpful, so she was easy to be nice to.
On Tuesday my boys had a soccer game, and I'm embarrassed to say, I was not super nice to the refs. I really need to just be quiet, but they really were not very good. They seemed to be calling the game very one sided. Of course, it probably didn't help that we were playing Dixie and they are just better than us. Logan is our goalie, and he had made 12 saves in the first 8 minutes. It's one of those times in sports when you really don't want your son to touch the ball that much! Dixie wears white and blue, and the ref was wearing blue. At one point, I said, "Ref, just because you're wearing blue doesn't mean you have to give all the calls to Dixie!" I shouldn't have said that, so on the way home, I made a committment to just not say anything to the refs. A few weeks back, I decided to not say negative things about any of the players when they're playing like old women with arthritis. That helped my attitude, so this next game I'm not even going to tell the refs that they need glasses. It's going to be a challenge. What do I do if the refs are reffing like old women with arthritis! Kaylee comes home on Thursday. I'm more than excited.

April 7th through 10th, 2011 - 118th through 121st Days
After riding hard with Kerry on Wednesday, it luckily rained on Thursday, so I got a bit of a reprieve. By Friday the wind was howling and it was 40 degrees outside. We had to go to a soccer game that night, and it was cold. When I say cold, I'm not talking St. George cold, I'm talking real cold, like Canada cold (OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it was very cold)! We brought a little propane heater to the game and sat it on the ground in front of us. I was afraid that someone was going to touch it, burn their skin off, and sue me for $100 (well, at least that's all they'd be able to get out of me at the moment!) It definitely provided some warmth, but it was so cold that Kerry and Kim bought pizza from Costco and you had to take it out of the box quickly, and eat it like a jack rabbit (I'm assuming jack rabbits eat pizza very quickly). Pineview dominated in the game, I think we shot 5,000 times and missed all but once. Snow Canyon, however, shot 4 times, and made two of them. The result? Snow Canyon 2, PineView 1. I think maybe our guys eyelids were frozen shut and they couldn't see the goal. Either that, or we're just not very good. I'm going to go with the eylids frozen shut. After the game, I was so cold I had to go home, make a hot bath, and thaw out. I must have pinched a nerve or something because my back was killing me! I'd never had sympathy for people with back pain before. Now I do. I couldn't even roll over without moaning and groaning. I think my wife must have been thinking, "Good thing he didn't have to have the babies!" I took three ibuprofens and rubbed that Bengay stuff on my back, and I still woke up at 2:30. Then, I tried to roll over on my stomach, and it felt like someone stabbed me with a very sharp needle. On Saturday, I woke up to clean the garage and I couldn't even bend over to pick anything up. I kept having to ask my boys to pick up anything heavier than a screwdriver. I felt like one of those city managers who lean on their shovels and tell the other guys to get to work. By Saturday afternoon I was feeling a little better. I went to the state baptism at 5:00 and there were 700 people there! It wasn't bad, however, and I was only there about an hour 1/2. At 6:30 Nicole and I went to the HP party and they had baked potatoes and salad. We then had a counselor, Mark Clayton, come in and talk to us about communication. It was fun, and I actually learned something about communicating, which I wasn't expecting to.
On Sunday I had a dream about my mission president and his wife. I woke up and it was 2:30 in the morning. I decided I needed to plan the 25 year mission reunion. So, what did I do? I planned the entire reunion from 2:30 to 3:45. Then, I went back to bed until 5:15. Guess what? When I woke up, my ideas weren't near as great as I thought they were at 2:30 in the morning. Why is it that ideas that seem so fantastic at 2:30 seem so dumb at 6:00? Well, the rest of the day was great, and I made salsa for Bishop Walker and Brother Neilson. After delivering the salsa, we went home, played some games and went to bed. Four more days until Kaylee is home! In the last four days, I was nice to everyone I met, and didn't even feel like getting grumpy, so it was a good weekend.

Why is it that ideas that seem so fantastic at 2:30 seem so dumb at 6:00? Well, the rest of the day was great, and I made salsa for Bishop Walker and Brother Neilson. After delivering the salsa, we went home, played some games and went to bed. Four more days until Kaylee is home! In the last four days, I was nice to everyone I met, and didn't even feel like getting grumpy, so it was a good weekend.
