Mormon Helping Hands


Well thanks to my friend Liz, I was able to steal this photo and post it. Last Saturday our ward participated in a state wide service project called Mormon Helping Hands. Wards all over the state of California spent the day cleaning up, weeding, and beautifying public parks and recreational areas. As you see we were fortunate enough to get to wear sweet yellow vests- which totally reminded me of the ones we had to wear during P.E. in middle school...yah.

Happy Birthday to Taylor






You know, I'm not sure why I even have this blog. Everybody that looks at it has probably already seen all of my updates on Facebook. Anyway- Taylor turned 26 on Friday April 30th! He feels like he has passed through the "young adult" phase into the "adult phase", and I have to agree. Graduating with your masters degree and getting a real job sounds pretty adult to me. (how depressing)

To celebrate the passing of youth, we took the train into the city for a Giants game. The train was an experience to say the least. I was thinking that it would be like the trains in New York...wrong. It was a double-decker, jammed packed with boozing screaming Giants fans. When I say boozing I mean people busting out 12 packs, passing around flasks, smoking joints(seriously), doing body shots, and puking all in full view. Note to self, do not take trains into the city on Friday nights. At least the Giants played a great game. However, the highlight was the over zealous fan that jumped onto the field. He was of course body slammed to the ground by an enormous police guard about .5 seconds later, but it was pretty sweet none the less.

Happy Birthday honey- even though you're an old man, at least you're a hot old man. That makes all the difference!

Dickson Family Visit

My Family came to visit and do the Stanford tour last weekend. The parents stayed in a hotel across the street, while Heather and Brooke were lucky enough to get to sleep on a blow up camping mattress in our HUGE apartment:) So here we have various photos of the Friday night sleepover party. Saturday the parents went golfing with Taylor and the girls got shopping and sweet pedicures(courtesy of the Deborah) Hooray for parents who still pay for their grown up children!

Here we have some typical photos. Me trying to rouse H&B and them pretending like they can't hear me. I finally just jumped on their mattress.
