Brittany is craaaazy....

So I came home from a Fire and EMS meeting last night to find my wife, laughing her head off walking around in my fire gear. She's pretty silly some days but thats what makes her awesome. Here are some pics of her trying to look tough as a firefighter.

here are the pics...

California Trip!

Ok! So we really are BAD at this blogging thing! I keep telling people that once we have the baby i'll get better at it, but who knows, i should probably stop making promises! I'll just say that i will try to get better at it! So it's been awhile, i am now 21 weeks pregnant, more than half way!!! Scary!!! And incase you havn't heard we are having a BOY!!! Wohoo!! We are SO excited! Both of us really wanted a boy first, so we are stoked!! My dad did an ultrasound at 14 weeks and he could already tell that is was a boy, but we did another one at 18 weeks, and it was still a boy! So we are safe! Now we just have to start preparing for him, which is the scary part for me!! Anyway, baby aside we went to california last weekend for the 4th of July weekend! My poor husband hadn't been back for a year and a half, so it was a much needed trip for the both of of us! We had a blast! We stayed with family friends the Wares in San Clemente! Clay surfed pretty much the entire time and i relaxed and watched him pretty much the whole time! It was great! We were able to visit with alot of friends we havn't seen in too long, and we relized yet again that we really want to end up back down there ASAP!! Here's a few pics from the trip!!

Brit and Clay Pregnant

Here's a pic of our bumps, ok so we are sticking out our stomachs a lot, but it's still funny.


On a side note, I had a bad day on Saturday. We took the boat out Saturday afternoon/evening after I spent the day installing some wood floors at the in-laws house. I was really excited to take it out on a nice day of working hard and enjoy some wakesurfing. As soon as we got out, the motor was acting really weird, ended up dying and we were towed back in. I jumped in the water (shoeless) to help keep it off the rocks and get it back on the trailer. I took a step and realized I just stepped on something very sharp. I was just thinking it was a little cut until I got back on the side of the boat and looked at my foot, and could see straight to my bone on the middle toe. Turns out, the cut had actually cut a flexor tendon, and it started to bleed really bad. Luckily Dr. Porter sutured the tendon back together then stitched up my toes. so now I am stuck wearing this stupid foot thing, that looks like a really ugly teva or something.

Last night Brittany and I were lucky enough to see this movie. It is absolutely amazing. One of the most touching films ever. You will laugh really hard and then the next scene tears will be falling down your cheeks (not mine cause I'm a big tough guy). Seriously such an inspiring movie, I wish there were more films like this. And it's rated PG. Go see it, it's worth the $8. If you are in Utah, it's only playing in Salt Lake at Braodway theaters.

Graduation and .......

I have been waiting and waiting for Brit to give everyone an update but it just hasn't happened so I will step in. I have to remind myself that I did marry a girl that rides the technology short bus but that's okay, I still love her. Well I graduated from Fire academy and received my state certifications as Firefighter1 and Firefighter 2 as well as hazardous materials awareness and operations. It was definitely a bitter sweet moment. I made some good buddies and will miss lighting and fighting fires with them. I just need to get a job now. I have a lot of testing opportunities coming up, and luckily, it seems there are a lot of departments hiring or about to hire.

Me and one of the guys in my engine company (AKA Rex- He has little arms)

I'm not going to lie to you, that's me, slaying a fire.

One word- Unity. haha. I asked the Instructor to make these guys hold hands.

Another shot.

Here's a video I put together at the last minute for the class.



And finally, I know most of you have heard the rumors......Yes Brit is PREGO! Just a little crazy, but we are very excited. She is just over 11 weeks. We were able to hear the baby's heart beat a few weeks ago and so far everything seems healthy. It's a little nerve racking for me, becoming a dad. I don't feel like I am old enough yet but I am very excited at the same time. So any advice is welcome, feel free to comment away.

Flash game!!

Last weekend we went to the Flash game with our friends Candace and Nate, it was a great game, we won in overtime!!! I had to show this picture of Clay i took when he got home from school today!! I guess they fought fires today at school, cuz his face was black and covered in dirt!! Hehe, i guess it something i'll have to get used to, huh?
