Turkey Ball or Basket Turkey?

This morning I again woke up early for the annual tradition of playing basketball with old friends. It was a celebration of getting old while still thinking that we can play like we used to in the old days. We were also hoping that running around so much would help us loose some pounds and make room for the pending turkey surge. It was fun!
The group that showed up were: John Thorpe, David Thorpe, Mike Maynard, Paul Stokes, Chris Nordfelt, Lantz Nordfelt, and their families of course. Thanks guys, it was a fun pre-Thanksgiving ritual!

Ball and Chain

Well, this year for Halloween Melissa got the chance to call me her "ball and chain." We went to our annual Ward Carnival and had a picture taken with the family. The kids were dressed in their Halloween best and the photographer said we had to look the part so he made sure the witch was looking over us and had the chain wrapped around my neck. Now, Melissa had full control of me and I had no where go, but I seem to be enjoying it and the kids did too.

The Carnival is always fun, especially tasting everyone's favorite dessert that they choose to bring. The Pumpkin dessert was really good, THANKS Jon! Mmmmmm.

Let's face it..

Well, lets face it. I’m not good a keeping a blog but I do like to update it when I get a chance. So, since it has almost been a year I thought that I should write something. I have been keeping up with Facebook, probably because I don’t have to type to much. Facebook.com has become an addiction for me, but I love finding people and staying in touch with people that I haven’t seen in 20 years. So maybe, this addiction of trying to keep up with friends will give me more of a desire to blog… or maybe not.

Since the last time I wrote.. I lost 40 pounds, celebrated many family birthdays, took several golfing trips, our family went to our condo in Midway, Utah, had a couple mini reunions with high school friends, Andrew broke his elbow, I got a new job, the boys started school, Melissa’s bow business has taken off, and I finally updated this blog. Wow what an exciting life.

Let’s see how long it takes me to update this time.
