Parker's 1st Birthday
Friday July 25th was Parker's birthday... he's 1 year old! We had a little get together with dinner and cake. He loved making a mess of the cake.
Next week we're having a big bbq and another party with extended friends and family.

We are the Biggest Losers...
Melissa and I joined a group of 10 people to be in a "Biggest Loser" contest. We started March 1st and went for 13 straight weeks. On June 30th at the final weigh in she'd lost 34 lbs and I lost 60 pounds. We took the $1,000 we won and went on a cruise from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas.

4th of July / Birthday Weekend
As always I milked my birthday and turned it into a 4 day event. Thursday the 3rd Brendon, Jasmin and I went to the Real Salt Lake game and saw fireworks afterwards. Thursday the 4th was BBQ, waterfight and fireworks with Grant Thomas and his family. Saturday... more chillin' and grillin'. I had a guys night out watching a little UFC with my friends from SLC and one visiting California. Finally, Sunday was more food and family with Jody, Dave and the cousins.
For my birthday Melissa pimped my ride. She suggested getting my windows tinted and having my red rims put on. It might look ghetto, but I like it! No, I love it!

Happy New Year
Happy New Year.
Just to update you all, Melissa is doing much better. I took several days off over the holiday to enjoy time with the family. We had tons of fun. On New Year's Eve we had some awesome steaks BBQed on the grill, it was a freezing 15 degreees outside, but the heat from the grill kept me warm. So much meat was leftover that we hadn't cooked so I ended up grilling the rest tonight. End 2007 and start 2008 with some BBQ... now that's a good sign!

Vertigo
I wanted to fill everyone in on what happened on Monday December 10th.
Around 8 o’clock this morning just as I was about to leave, when my wife Melissa began calling me in a panic. She was sitting in a glider chair feeding the baby when she began to feel disoriented and extremely dizzy. I helped her to the floor thinking she was just light-headed. Even once on the floor she felt as if the world was spinning around her and then nausea set in, her entire body trembling. The symptoms became severe enough that I called 911 and an ambulance took her to the AF hospital. While the EMTs strapped her to the gurney, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was falling and had no sense of direction up or down.
I got the kids situated and quickly caught up with her at the hospital. We spent over six hours in the hospital while they performed several tests including a CAT scan. The doctor diagnosed her with a several case of what he called Peripheral Vertigo. She is back at home now and the medicine they gave her at the hospital has kept her heavily sedated most of the evening. We’ve tried to give her the prescribed medication (for nausea and dizziness) but she’s having trouble keeping them down.
For now she’ll continue to rest; I’ll monitor her Monday and Tuesday. I have made arrangement for Wednesday and Thursday to have someone stay with her each of those days as needed.
Please keep us in your prayers!

Band Wagon
After very little time and consideration I have finally decided to start a blog. I honestly am not sure what the fascination is, but I'm sure I'll soon find out... or not and give up the whole thing. The truth is I'm just doing it to impress girls (Melissa and Jasmin of course). Plus blogging is another excuse to not have to shovel snow off the driveway.
