Baseball

2011-03-10T13:50:00.000-08:00

Today I'm in Portland, OR. I'm enjoying my time and am excited to see my sister tonight. But Boston has a baseball game this afternoon in California. I'm very sad that I will miss his game. I hate missing the kids events. Here are some photos of Boston from this year...

Here's how I'm feeling today.

Whistler II

2009-02-26T22:08:00.000-08:00

It's been a great week so far. We woke up Wednesday to a few feet of new powder. That has been the best day so far for sure. We didn't stand in any lines most of the day. We had good visibility all day. There were times when we were alone on the runs. We hit some waist deep powder as well. It was seriously one of the best days ever on the mountain. Today we woke up to blue skies and a huge crowd on the mountain. We got some good runs in some of the back bowls, but waited in some long lines too. I can't believe the week is almost over... going home tomorrow. Enjoy the pics.

Action shot!

Me looking like Darth Vader. It was cold today!

Chris and Trevor on Blackcomb mountain, Whistler mountain is in the background. We spend most of our time in the bowls on the left behind us. Beautiful!

Looking down at the valley between Blackcomb mountain and Whistler mountain. There is a gondola that takes you from one mountain to the other. It's kind of freaky actually. They also have a gondola with a glass bottom. That really freaked me out.

It's been a while since I have posted anything here, but I thought this trip was a worthy cause. My friend Trevor and I take an annual ski trip and this year we are in Whistler, BC. It's so beautiful up here. I have posted a few pics of our trip so far. Today was our first day skiing and we have are pretty tired. We need to recover soon though, we have a guide tomorrow - hopefully we get to see some great spots. I have already fallen enough to last me the entire trip, need that to stop for sure. Anyway, enjoy the photos...

This is Blackcomb mountain. We haven't explored that part yet - probably tomorrow.

Just a cool shot looking up one of the lifts.

Looking across the valley while we were on the Peak to Creak run. This is a 3.5 mile run from the top of Whistler Mountain to the valley floor. Can you say thigh burn?

Coming into our village. Our condo is there on the left next to the gondola.

Bands

2008-09-17T16:46:00.000-07:00

Here is the challenge, and I know how you all like a challenge. Look at the picture below and see how many band names you can come up with. I'll give you a hint, one of the band names is B-52s. Let me know how you did.

And the first one to identify the band name represented by the scissors with bows on them get's a prize!

Trip 2

2008-09-02T18:30:00.000-07:00

For trip 2 we went to Reedsport, Oregon to ride ATVs at the sand dunes. I knew this would be fun but I didn't know it would be as fun as it was. Holy cow did I have a great time. The dunes are right on the coast and when you climb some of them you have a great view of the ocean (see pics below). Boston and Mason also had a great time riding the ATVs. Joyce, my sister, has 4 ATVs, 2 of which are Yamaha Blasters 250's. These are the bikes Boston and Mason rode (and shared with Joyce and Catie - my niece). The drive there and back was so beautiful. Boston turned out to be quite the rider. He went up and down some pretty steep hills. I was very impressed. I think their favorite part was "carving" the hills. This is when you shoot up a hill as fast as you can and spin a 180 at the top and shoot back down. If you do it right it gives you that faint little tickle in your stomach. I love it too.

Below are some pics for you to enjoy.

We had to drive my truck out to the sand camp spot. This was a little scary since the last time we drove it in the sand Merilee got it stuck. We made it just fine though. Good truck, good truck.

This is our awesome 5 star MOTEL we stayed in. Nothing like the Salty Seagull!

and the inside...

Trip #1

2008-08-24T22:00:00.000-07:00

We switched up our vacation plans this summer and decided to see the Northwest while we still could. So here is our first trip. We went to Deer Harbor, Washington, it is located in the San Juan Islands in the Puget Sound. The island we were on was called Orcas Island. We had to take a ferry to reach the island. It was beautiful. We didn't see any whales, but still a great ride. While we were there it was cloudy and rainy most of the time, but still relaxing. We did some swimming, played some golf, explored the little island towns. I am sure Merilee will post more about our trip. The best part was on our ferry ride back. We all decided to stay in the car and relax during the 45 minute ride. However, we left the key on to listen to the iPod. When we tried to start the car - dead battery. The ferry is fully loaded. We are halfway back on the side. How embarrassing! Luckily the crew of the ferry had one of those car jumpers. We had to push the van forward to let the people behind us off before we got the car started. Looks like it's time for a new battery!

Here are some pictures...

The latest...

2008-07-11T22:59:00.000-07:00

I was going to focus this blog on what I did today, but when I imported the pictures from my camera there were some other cool things too. So...

Sidney, Mason and Lincoln

This picture was at the house we rented when we went to ride 4-wheelers at the beach. I hear it was a fun trip. I was in bed the entire trip sleeping with a nasty cold/flu. I did make it out to the dunes for about 2 hours for a fun ride.

The dogs playing at the beach on the 4th of July.

Megan and Ruben were there too.

Fireworks... we went to Gearhart and drove out onto the beach - our minivan and Tom's minivan. Both of us got stuck trying to make it back off the beach. It took an hour and 3 different cars to pull us out, plus about 20 people pushing. It was an adventure! But I think Tom had a good time lighting off fireworks (the good kind) at the beach. It really is an amazing experience, one that everyone see at least once!

While Mother is away the boys will play!
Merilee is in Phoenix this week and Sidney is spending the weekend at her aunt Joyce's house (she would much rather be there than here that's for sure) so I took the boys golfing. We went with some guys from work. We had two foursomes and ours won by 1 stroke! That meant each of us won $5.00. The boys were very happy when they realized that each of us got money. I think they may be hooked! Both of the boys played well, much better than I did when I started golfing. Boston has a special talent with golf - he hits the ball straight! This is their second time out, but I have been informed that this must now be a weekly or bi-weekly event. I guess I can handle that.

We all played in style - collars popped!

I guess that's all I got - time for bed.

SYTYCD

2008-06-06T06:48:00.000-07:00

This post is dedicated to Brian. Last night when I got home Merilee was laying in bed watching TV. I walked in and she had some reality show on. Come to find out it was Brian's second favorite show! SYTYCD (that's So You Think You Can Dance for you non-SYTYCD maniacs)!!! I watched a few minutes. Just a few thoughts...

1. I can't believe they kept the breakdancer instead of the guy who really could dance!
2. How come they have so many judges?
3. The contestants seem a little overwhelmed with emotion each time they hear what the judges have to say. Is this because they are dancers, full of emotion, stressed to the gills or just lame?
4. The girl at the end, she really needs a PR rep. How could you say to the judges that if they cut you, you won't be back. Duh! And, they kept her anyway???

On a different note...
Mason had a baseball game last night. He played well. He has been pitching really well the last few games. In the 3rd inning I go by the dugout and he shows me his mit. It had ripped in the webbing. He said "Dad, I need a new mit, mine ripped." I asked him if he could even play and he said yes, he wasn't going to sit out of the game for the last few innings, that's for sure! His team won pretty handily. They have won 3 in a row now. Quite suprising actually. I think they have 3 or 4 good players and 3 or 4 players that should be playing a league or two down. Anyway, a very fun way to spend an evening. Tonight we get to see two games. Boston plays at 6:00 and Mason plays at 8:00 under the lights. We need to remember to bring our blankets, these nights games are pretty chilly.

Peeps

2008-03-28T06:57:00.000-07:00

Last week I took Merilee and the kids down to Arizona to spend spring break with her family. The trip was good, we had a fun time while I was there, but I was ready to come back to the cool weather of Oregon. It was like 87 degrees one of the days while I was there! I was happy to be home where it has been in the 40’s and 50’s. I know Merilee and the kids are enjoying the warm weather though.
While I was gone some people I work with decided to have a Peep wedding on my desk. I have become the de-facto Peep guy in our office, even though I hate Peeps. About 3 years ago while I was out of the office during Easter my co-workers thought it would be funny to decorate my office with Peeps. I had Peeps everywhere! Over the last three years I have “collected” (read “been given) Peep paraphernalia, I guess my office was the perfect location for the Peep wedding. Enjoy the pics.

2008-03-11T14:20:00.000-07:00

I have nothing new to post other than I get to see my wife again! Her wedding is now over and I am hoping to spend a little more time with her now.

Here are some old school pics...

Boston was excited about something...

Our first winter in Oregon, not sure what Merilee is doing - probably directing the camera to take the picture like this, wait no like that, hold on go back to the other way...

Mason and Sid, they sure have grown!

Some other crazy family photo

work day

2008-03-07T08:31:00.000-08:00

Today may end up being the best "work day" ever. I am working until around 10:30 and then me and the COO of our company are going skiing. Does it get any better than this? OK, I could get picky. I could ask for 12" of new snow and bright blue skies, but at any rate a day skiing is much better than a day in the office.

Music

2008-03-05T08:56:00.000-08:00

I find it interesting how important music is to us. It can change our mood just from listening to a certain song. The emotions that are tied to certain music - I just find it amazing. Sidney has inherited a love for music from Merilee. She has this uncanny talent where she can remember the lyrics to a song she has heard only a few times. Merilee can sing along to 90% of the songs on the radio. If you don't believe me, just ride in the car with her and turn the radio up. So, I thought what better way to bring back some good memories than with some 80's rock! Wow, I didn't realize what I would remember.

A few (that aren't too embarrassing to admit to - or are they?):

- Watching MTV with a group of friends every morning during the summer of '88
- "Laying Out" at Hyrum Damn - summer of '85, '86, '87
- Skiing with my two brothers at Brighton
- High school dances
- Driving around Salem in my sister's Volvo cranking G-n-R and Skid Row - summer of '88 and '89
- Camping in the Wellsville Mountains with our group of friends at our secret camp spot - '85, '86, '87, '88, '89
- Multiple scout trips

The embarrassment of growing up in the 1980's. Oh the shame, the shame...

Baseball in Oregon

2008-03-03T07:06:00.000-08:00

Saturday was baseball tryouts for Boston. I can't believe baseball is already here, where did winter go? Anyway, the weather has been very warm here the last few weeks - in the 50's and mostly blue skies. (I am not really sure why Merilee is complaining) Saturday rolls around again it's pretty nice out, but it is cloudy. I take Boston to baseball and as soon as I check him in this happens...

(yes, that is hail in this one!)

ugh...

2008-02-28T11:16:00.000-08:00

I have realized that I have been very grumpy lately. I would like to take this moment to apologize to all that have felt my grumpiness. I will try and change. I love you all!

Plus, Merilee and I are having a date night tomorrow. I am sure that will make everything better too!

I think the pic below will cheer up anyone!

Back to Life, Back to Reality

2008-02-20T08:01:00.000-08:00

I am back from my trip and regular life has kicked in. Work, school, kids, etc. I think I was really ready for it though. I had a hard time being gone for that long, even though I had a great time. I can't believe it's almost the end of February. That means that Boston will start baseball soon, Mason is halfway done with basketball and Sidney is saying she wants to play baseball this year too. Looks like spring is going to be busy!

Happy Birthday Dad! My dad turns 73 today.

Friday

2008-02-15T20:15:00.000-08:00

Well my trip is almost over. It has been a great trip except for my friend Trevor being sick Tuesday - today. He is feeling better now and even made it up for an afternoon of skiing. While here we met some Germans that are staying at the same resort we are. We have developed a friendship while we have been here. Today I skied with them all day (or at least until 2:30). We hit some great runs. Today the weather was really great, blue skies and very cold. When we came home from dinner the temperature was 14 degrees. I don't think it made it much over 25 degrees today. This morning I saw a fox running outside our condo, this fox was out last night too. The funny part is that both times I have seen it it peed on the same little tree. It must be marking its territory or something. We didn't see any moose today and Trevor is getting upset about that, it seems that he has missed all of the wildlife except for the fox. We ate a great little burger joint tonight. Just a counter that wrapped around the cooking area. There was grease everywhere and it was VERY unhealthy, however it was very good. That's about it, enjoy the pics below.

Here is our little fox.

View from the top of one of the runs. Note how far down the condos are on the left, that's where we take the first lift to get to the top of the mountain a difference of about 4,000 feet.

My new friends (from left to right) Leo, Karo, Michael and me.

Trevor finally made it up to the mountain today after being sick for 3 days.

Some spectacular views.

It's almost Friday already...

2008-02-14T21:09:00.000-08:00

Where did this week go? I can't believe it's almost over. Today was kind of a downer of a day. My friend that I came to Jackson with has been really sick since Tuesday afternoon. He didn't ski at all Wednesday so I went up alone. Today I stayed home to give my legs a break and give Trevor some company. We had breakfast and sat in the hot tub and steam room. We also watched some movies. Other than that we didn't do much besides a few snoozes. I missed out on a great day at the mountain I bet as it was blue skies. Tomorrow should be the same though. Here are a few pics from the last few days.

A view down one of the runs.

Me on the slopes Wednesday, the snow was awesome!

The view outside our window this morning. The Grand Tetons are on the right, aren't they just beautiful?

On the mountain

2008-02-12T20:48:00.000-08:00

We now have been up to the mountain two days. Monday the weather wasn't so good. It was really windy and the snow was kind of icy. Isn't this what we have at Mt. Hood? It was still so amazing! The mountain is gorgeous and the views are spectacular. Tuesday the weather was superb. We had good snow, especially the upper half of the mountain. It snowed all day today, which I am totally fine with. There is a new storm on its way and should dump a lot of new powder! I am very sore tonight, I hope I can continue to ski the rest of week, the legs are hurting.

Here I am ripping it up!

Look! A moose is on the slope! This was amazing, it was literally 20 feet from me.

Here is the picture I tried to upload earlier. This picture is of a resevoir on the boarder of Idaho and Wyoming. The whole lake is frozen over. Isn't it beautiful!

We made it (version 2)

2008-02-12T20:28:00.000-08:00

Blogger was freezing so I had to make a version 2.

On our way through the Tetons we saw some really beautiful scenery. This picture is of a frozen resevoire on the snake river at the border of Idaho and Wyoming. (This won't publish, I will try later)

Here is our condo, I thought I rotated it, but oh well, sorry.

This picture is of where we ate breakfast. The funny part is we have breakfast included in our package at our condo. So we ventured out Monday morning for breakfast and found this location (Amangani - http://www.amanresorts.com/home.aspx?id=290) instead of our restaurant The Granary. We sat down to eat and we kept thinking "Wow this is really nice". During our breakfast the waiter came over and asked us for our name so they could charge it to the room, well they didn't have our name so we had to pay for our breakfast. Luckily it wasn't too bad - $20.00. I guess this is where people like Penelope Cruz stay. It shares the same driveway as our resort.

We made it!

2008-02-12T19:20:00.000-08:00

We made it to Jackson Hole safe and sound. The drive was actually really nice. The roads were clear and dry until we made it to Jackson. We left Saturday night and drove to Ontario, Oregon and spent the night in a hotel, it was clean and comfortable. Here are a few pics of our drive to Jackson.

I'm going to Jackson

2008-02-04T14:36:00.001-08:00

This weekend I am going to Jackson, Jackson Hole that is. I can't wait! Needless to say my mind is elsewhere this week. Here are some pictures showing what I am going to be seeing next week! I feel like a kid leading up to Christmas.

The Grand Tetons - I will be skiing at the base of these beautiful mountains.

The Decemberists

2008-01-24T12:34:00.000-08:00

Last night we (Merilee, myself and my niece Catie) went to the Decemberists concert. It was a great concert. However, I am seriously paying for it today. My legs ache from standing for 3+ hours. The opening band Psuedosix was a little too mellow for a show starting at 9:00 pm. That could be that I am just getting old!
The Decemberists show started a little slow. I didn't even recognize any of the first 8 songs. Halfway through the show it turned. The energy started coming, the music started beating faster, the crowd started moving - that's when it started for me.

Turned out to be a great show, they played for 1:50 minutes. There is not much better then going to bed with that ringing in your ears. I love it!

Basketball

2008-01-16T09:43:00.000-08:00

Tonight I have basketball practice with Mason's 4th grade team. I have volunteered to coach his team and I really love it. I enjoy watching the kids progress throughout the season. What I enjoy most about it though is spending time with my kids. I have coached each one of them and I love it. Even if I don't know much about the sport I really enjoy interacting with the kids. Does this mean that I am at the same intellectual level as 4th graders? Merilee - don't answer that!

Anyway, here is to another season of basketball. I hope I am not too tough on the kids. The first practice we ran suicides and I think I got a few evil eye stares from some parents. We will be running again tonight so they better get used to it! The downpart of me coaching my kids is that I think I may be too hard on them. I am sorry Boston, Mason and Sid. I love you guys!

Only 5 fights...

2008-01-14T07:02:00.000-08:00

On Friday Merilee had some party to go to where they were watching that lame movie Pride & Prejudice. I think the movie is like 7 hours long or something. First of all, who could even sit through a boring love fest movie for that long? Sounds like torture. Plus, there are too many things that need done to just sit in one spot for 7 hours.
Because Merilee was gone I had the kids. I was trying to think of something fun to do with them since we don’t have a lot of “without Mom time”. Should I take them to hotel for the night? Movies? Ice skating? Chuck – E – Cheese?
I decided to take them to a hockey game. I also let them each invite a friend to go with them. So we piled in the van – all 7 of us – and headed to Memorial Coliseum for a game that started at 7:00. We were going to have a very healthy dinner of whatever would be available at the arena so we left early – 5:00’ish. We got to the arena at 6:00 and found a perfect spot to park. We noticed that the parking lots were pretty empty – weird. When we exited the parking garage the plaza looked like a ghost town. Did I look at the date wrong? Was the game really Saturday night? No, we were just an hour and a half early. The game really started at 7:30. We had 30 minutes to kill before we could get into the arena. We bought our tickets and I let the kids run around a little bit.
The hockey game started and it was looking like Portland was doing ok. End of the first period score was 1-0 Spokane. The second period looked a little better. Portland scored their first goal and the first fight was on the books. Third period got a little out of hand as Portland lost 6-2. The third period did have 4 fights. All 6 kids loved the fights. They would rush the boards and pound and yell as the hockey players dropped their gloves, removed their helmets and started to bob and weave.
Overall a great night. All of the kids had fun and they were very well behaved. I am so grateful I have good kids who also have good friends.

Last Week

2008-01-03T08:25:00.000-08:00

We spent last week in Rhododendron, Oregon at a little (emphasis on little) cabin with my sister and her kids. We had a great time even though the space was limited. We had snow for the kids to play in and a hot tub to relax in after the day skiing/snowboarding. Merilee even stayed with us for a few nights. She went from one extreme to the other - hot AZ to cold OR. Not a bad way to spend New Years. Here are some pics...

Christmas 2007

2007-12-24T10:40:00.000-08:00

Another year has come and gone. I can’t believe it’s almost 2008. Where did this year go? Oh, I remember…
Work, grad school, kids activities (hockey, baseball, basketball, soccer, dance, skiing/snowboarding, school activities, cross country, scouts, etc.), family vacations, Merilee’s multiple trips to AZ (why does she need to go 4 or 5 times a year???) and our everyday life just seems to get busier and busier.
This is a time of reflection, especially as I am turning 35 tomorrow. As I sit in my office today I can’t believe where life has taken me over the last 14 years or so.

Below are a few life changing moments...
- It started when I moved to Phoenix in 1994.
I met Merilee, Elise and Marcy in the fall at a Single's Ward FHE (that is so weird).
- Merilee and I were married in August of 1995. We were so young and we didn't know what we were doing. I think it's a miracle we are still married sometimes.
- Boston was born June 16, 1996. We had a brand new baby boy, how are you supposed to raise a child? At this point we really had no idea. (I am not sure if we are better off now though)
- In December 2006 started at Gould Electronics. Even though this was a crapper job I somehow am part of their retirement plan and I get $500/month when I turn 63 or 65.
- In May 1998 Mason was born. He has added so much personality to our family. Go Mas!
- In March 2000 Sidney was born. She completed our little family. How sweet it is to have our little Sid. I love it when she comes and gives me a big hug!
- August, 2000 I start school at University of Advancing Technology. Merilee becomes a single parent for the next 3 years. I think I averaged 14 credits plus a full time job. Nothing like working from 5 am to 5 pm and then going to school from 5:30 - 11:30 at night. Good times...
- December 2001 I was laid off at Gould Electronics.
- July 2002 Ruben got me a job at Lex Solutio - and the eDiscovery adventure begins.
- April 2003 I graduate from UAT.
- May 2003 I start at Solutions @ Law.
- September 2003 Fios, Inc offers me a job in Portland, OR.
- September 2003 our family moves to Beaverton, OR.
- January 2007 I start graduate school at Willamette University. Working on my MBA, I have really enjoyed this one. It has been a great experience, but again, Merilee is a single parent.

There are so many things that have happened since we have lived in Oregon, but I can't really list them all. I am so grateful that we are here. I believe living here has made my marriage stronger. I am so dependent on Merilee that I don't know what I would do without her. I believe our family has a stronger bond now than we ever have. I love having Joyce and her family so close. Sharon is such a wonderful Aunt, it's great. Chris B. is close so Merilee can have her family over too. (Although, we don't see him much)

Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays!

We made it!

2007-12-15T16:30:00.000-08:00

It took me a while but I finally made it up to the mountain. It was pretty good. We actually went twice this week. I took the kids up Wednesday night after school. We left at 4:00 from my office. The traffic was so bad, we didn’t make it to Meadows (www.skihood.com) until 6:15. Since Merilee didn’t go I had to get the kids ready all by myself, which takes about 25 minutes. We then had to go inside to get our pictures taken for our season passes (we got passes for Christmas!). By the time we actually hit the slopes it was almost 7:00! But, we did get some good riding in. We stayed mainly on the little slope. I did leave the kids once and went to the top to get at least one good run in. By the time I made it down my legs were burning! All in all a good warm up to the season.

Thursday I worked and the kids went to school – we were all exhausted! I came home from work and crashed hard for a few hours – sorry Merilee.

Friday, I took the day off and kept the kids out of school and we went up to the mountain again. We met sister Joyce and my nephew Zach. It was really a great day.

Sid was doing really well. She made it down some blue runs ok, but was really doing well on the green runs. She no longer snow plows on the easier runs. The boys were happy to hit the parks to try some jumps and the half pipe. Meadows has a mini-pipe that Mason was killing!

Sidney was even cruising down the pipe. Boston went to the other side of the mountain with Joyce and Zach to cruise some of the natural half pipes that are available. The kids are pumped and ready to go again! Now if we can just get Merilee up to the mountain that would be a lot of fun.

1 month off!

2007-12-12T07:13:00.001-08:00

The title is a little misleading. I do get 1 month off, but not from work. I am back in school working on my MBA and last night I had my last final of the term. I am half way through, by this time next year I will be done! It was a good semester but I am glad it’s over. I am excited to be able to come home after work every night. I won’t have to worry about homework, study groups, reading, etc. I am worried that Merilee will be ready to ship me off to school again after spending so much time with me.

However, I sometimes still feel like this...

The Mountain

Have I mentioned that I just can't wait until I make it up to the mountain this year? Why did it warm up? It is like 50 degrees right now! Doesn't the weather Gods know that it is December and we should have 8 feet of snow at the mountain - not just a lowly 4! Come on and snow already!

Two Minutes

Last night I was hit by things I need to do better at. I could make a list that would last longer than two minutes but here are a few...

Work - excel at work, don't just get by.
School - since I am spending so much on grad school I should work at this to get as much out of it as possible.
Family - take the time to enjoy the time we have with each other.
Life - Focus on the details.
