I'm the kind of person who functions with routine. I get up at the same time every day without an alarm. I fall asleep the same time of day no matter where I am. I do the same thing on the same day. And I like it. It might not be the life for everyone but it is for me. Here lately though for some reason I'm am rarely in my own office and rarely permitted to maintain my routine. And I just don't

So I haven't posted here in a loooooong time. Mostly because there are so many other places to post parts of my life. It's like being a digital schizophrenic.

I learned finally how to make an animated graphic. I know I am very behind the times on this one. I dedicate this to Amy the woman who holds my heart.

Amy makes these wonderful year in review videos and then I come along and chop it down so it will fit on YouTube so we can share it with everyone. So here is our abbreviated 2008. Enjoy.

Here is a thought I had. What if we all have been given a gift to help us make it through the trials in our lives. Lets say that it has talents and skills we will never understand or fully posses ourselves. And at the same time we have had this gift for most of our lives without knowing it. I believe this gift comes to us in the form of siblings. It is hidden inside another person. And it

Very rarely do I get one up on my super wife Amy but this time I have. I know this looks bad but if you know Amy and you know me this isn't as bad as it looks. No I am not a twilight fan but my wife is. I do love the idea of the photos though. Look for my attempt at recreating the images.I enjoy when people can make fun of something that others take so seriously. Let me give credit the images

So I have finally admit to myself that I am very skeptical by nature. It isn't that I am not a trusting person, well maybe I am not, but I for some reason can always here the catch. Last Thursday I went to a seminar on business and photography. There were two speakers and one of them had a catch to what he was saying and the other didn't. My real observation was that the only thing in my life

1. Were you named after anyone? Yes. The son of a family my father knew when he lived in England. 2. When was the last time you cried? Every time I watch Amy and Liam love on each other. 3. Do you like your handwriting? Yes. I write well for a guy. 4. What is your favorite lunch meat? Cajun Turkey and you had better care. 5. Do you have kids? Yes One6.

This has been one of the themes of my life. For a long time now I have been motivated and sometime paralyzed by this emotion. Yes I know it is not manly by todays standards to admit this. It is something I work towards removing from me. I do so at a snails pace and only to help my children. I believe whole heartedly that statement to be true. The thing I have learned is that all men and

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment. The winner is number two. It only won by two votes. It was such a close tie that I think the finally version will be a little closer than one and farther away than two. Stay tuned for the end results.

Okay the most fun you will ever have is on a game system. Everyone can enjoy this system. It is no other than, you have got it, the Nintendo Wii. I was first exposed to the Wii last Christmas at my aunt and uncles house. They got one for the family and it was a hit. I couldn't believe how much fun I had. Not only that how much fun Amy had. It was a blast. It was easy to use and the

We live in an age where we take thousands of pictures. (I will have died and gone to heaven when this is true of me on a daily basis) We only print a very few select images. What are we doing with the rest? Well here is what I do. First I back all my images up on DVDs monthly. So at the end of the year I should have 12 DVDs and the last one will have everything that the first 11 have.

For the longest time I associated that particular with someone who was relishing in the savory bite of some decadent meal that had taken hours and a culinary team to prepare. Today I was reminded at one point in my life that audible noise was connected to a completely different thought. Today after I came home from work and Amy and I ate dinner I sat down at the computer, nothing new there

Capturing the moment is what I love most about photography. But it has taken some effort in learning how to stop motion. Here are a few things I have learned. 1. I always shoot indoors with as much natural light as I can get. Most of the people who read my blog know that I lived in a basement for the last few years so you would think that I didn't have much natural light to work with. That

Don't you just enjoy listening to your favorite song over and over until the words come as easily to your lips as they do to the performer? I do. I love to sing, though I have been asked on several occasions to sing a little quieter. I like my music to invoke a feeling of some sort. Music is always there for me. When I want to calm down and fall asleep I and turn on Cannon in D. When I want

So I have been thinking I need to put what I have learn about my camera down somewhere so Amy can take advantage of what I have learned already. So most of you might not want to read these technical posts. Sorry. First I want to go over depth of field. Depth of field is the depth in which things are all in focus in your picture. (Keep in mind I am trying not to use too many technical term

During the unpacking phase of our move I made a self discovery of sorts. I collect of all thing electronic cables. I love them to death and I love some more than others. Why else would I have purchased several of the same cord. I had cables in just about every box with my stuff in it. So many cables in fact I could fill an entire bin with nothing but cables. Now let me tell you that most of

Amy and I unpacked all of our stuff finally. In the process I came across a picture a kid drew for me on my mission. I just thought it was cool and wanted the world to see it. The kid would draw sacrament meeting out in comic book style. I would try to set near his family every Sunday just to see what he had drawn. The one on the right is suppose to be me. I inverted the color just to make

So it has been awhile since I have made a peep on this blog. I can say that now that most of my family is blogging this is going to be a lot more fun. I have been in Texas now for about a month and a half. Amy and Liam finally joined me about two weeks ago. I got crazy the day I was suppose to fly back to Utah to drive my family and all our earthly possessions that I left work early and got

I have now been in Texas for a couple of weeks. I really enjoy how I am working with at the new job. I found the apartment we will be living in for the next 12 months. The only thing missing is Amy and Liam. I miss them something awful. It has been more difficult than I thouhgt it would have been. I really hope that Amy, Liam and I will quickly find our routine here in Texas. As for the

Today the weatherman called for snow. Now being from Texas that could be anything from sleet to a real light dusting of snow. The ladies at work took me out to lunch. When we went to leave for lunch it began to sleet. The ladies were completely enamored with the weather all through lunch. We finished with lunch and returned to the office. we were only there for about an hour when the snow

safe and sound. I woke up this morning in Utah at 4:30 AM. I got to the airport and found myself in a sea of missionaries flying out to there missions. The plane was small but I had a seat on the exit row which made things bearable. I landed got my luggage and mom picked me up. I am exhausted and completely wiped out. Once I got back to my sister's house I unpacked a few things and then we

This year I went out and made sure that I capture my experience in Hollywood. I was there only one week after the Academy Awards. I got to shoot the entire weekend on the loading dock of the Kodak Theater. Cheerleaders are the most energetic people on the face of the planet. I LOVE IT!This is the obligitory picture of proof that I can take a picture of a sign that says Hollywood. I thought it

Well tomorrow I am headed to Hollywood California. I will spend the rest of the weekend photographing teams of cheerleaders at the Kodak Theater. Last year I went and didn't take a single picture of Cali. I felt like an idiot when I got home. This year I am determined to record the memory. Last year I was entranced with the freaks on the Hollywood blvd. Though Amy told me that I could pay

God does work in His own time. I got back from Texas with nothing to show for me time or effort. I can say it was a good trip because I got some really great help with making my resume stronger. Before my resume read like an obituary of my past jobs. So with a renewed spirit for the job hunt to continue on in Utah I sat down at the computer and began combing the internet for position that I

It has been a week or so since I lost my job. I think Amy and I are over the anger. I know I am moving on to proactive. I really think this is a good thing. The last few months there had been very difficult. NACT has a long way before they will make it out of the clear. And people are beginning to throw one another under the bus to save their own necks. Not a great work environment. So I

I need to sharpen my photoshop skills. The idea came to me that I can practice by making banners for my friends blogs. So here is my plea if you would like a fun and unique blog header send me a photo to play with and your favorite color. I will use your favorite color as the color scheme. I will take the first five people to leave me a comment on this post. Thanks for the help. (Amy you are

Yes Amy and I are in the er right now. (6:50am mst) Amy began having stomach pains late last night. So here is what I like about the er and what I don't. First I like that it tends to be a quiet place whenever I am here. Second I don't like that the lights are always set on max stun. Seriously I don't think heaven is this bright. I like that anything you touch is yours but I don't like that

This morning I got up with Liam and this time after he finished his bottle I put him down and watched him play. I enjoy seeing his play is really learning. I am so amazed at all the things he learns. It is like getting a new child every few weeks. He reminds me that even at my age I can learn something new and I will grow from that knowledge. Everything is an exploration. Everything is an

Well today I turn 31. I am grateful for so much this year. This year I learned that it really is fun to be a dad. I don't mind changing diapers and feeding Liam. As a matter of fact I love that I get to feed him every morning before I head out the door for work. It's like I get a chance to charge up on love before I have to go and get yelled at all day long. I love how his face lights up

Today I just wanted to post about the things I am full of thanks for. First I must begin with I am thankful for a Father in Heaven who loves me so much that he gave me the most precious wife a man can have. When I look at her I think I can see eternity. I can see what beauty and joy she brings to the world and in to my life. God must really love me to bring her into my life. God must also

Just look at this picture. How can you not love Amy? She is by far the reason I am every bit the man that I am. Her gentle nature leads me aways from my most terrible rage. She exudes confidence, it virtually pours off of her. She is kind and compassionate when I am hard hearted. She is the epitome of

Thanks to a great opportunity to Highlight Sports You can check out more of my sports work out there. Here are a few that I thought deserved to be shown off. I just can't get enough of this. It makes me excited for the day Liam is playing out there. Hopefully

I have become a Photoshop junkie. I have found so many useful tools in Photoshop that I am finding myself addicted to learning something new everyday. Thanks Susan for pointing me in the right direction. I have been learning to grunge up a picture. When I perfect my look I will show them off. Here are some more photos of Liam. I will let you all in on a little secret Amy took these pictures

Most people know that I am a romantic sucker. I was watching a movie and one of the main character defined why she thought people got married. I think this is definitely one of the reasons I married Amy, but just one. Susan Surandon said this to the question "Why do people get married?" "Why is it that people get married? Because we need a witness to our lives

Amy and I went on a small adventure. Amy has been craving fall family pictures. So I have carted the family up the canyons twice now with the intent to satisfy her desire. Although I think I failed both times due to the lack of fall foliage. But we do keep getting some fun new pictures to add to the collection. I was going through the 300 pictures of our last trip and found this one. I

It is true you can learn anything on the internet. All the credit goes to Seth McAllister I found him by way of Blaine Franger. I love the supersized photos. What do you all think? P.S. Susan I liked your idea of the grunge effect on the pics of Amy. Can you point me in the right direction? I don't know where to start looking to learn to do that. Thanks

We took Liam to the park for the first time. It was all Amy's idea. She wanted to get out and have some fun with Liam. I couldn't resist taking my camera. What I enjoyed the most was the fact that Liam had to stare at every new thing around him.This is a smile only mommy can get from Liam. I love his little belly hanging out. Liam and I were watching a street sweeper cleaning the street

If I would have had a daughter(like I was suppose to) She would have been as beautiful as my cousins daughter. My cousin that is so much like me. I enjoy hanging out with him. He can make me laugh like no one else. I think we are the same person just in different bodies. Angle. Need I say more? I asked to take his picture and he didn't hesitate for a second. So I asked him to take a bite

Here is my first attempt at a fun night shot. I took this on a overpass near our house at 12:30 in the morning. I thought it was a good first attempt. Though I know that I can certainly improve this. I think mostly with time.

In tribute to the release of the final installment of Harry Potter...Amy and I didn't get into Harry Potter until the fifth book came out. We were living in Texas and Amy talked me into going a getting it at Midnight at Barnes & Nobles. We got there and qued up in line and we were surrounded by people dressed as witches and wizards.

I am going to get a Utah drivers license and as I was thinking about it I was reminded when I got my first drivers license. I was so excited and I thought I was the coolest teenager in the world. Now looking back i was just a awkward little kid. I have always has a Texas drivers license and it has been really hard making myself give it up for a Utah one. But there are so many advantages to having

Okay this was the toughest book for me to read because it was written so well that I really hated certain characters and that Harry seemed to be all alone. But this was my favorite movie by far. It was great a great adventure and the characters were brilliant. I mean brilliant! Delores was so vile that you wanted to beat her senseless with Grandma's slipper. Seeing the characters on screen

So last Wednesday when I posted my sweet dear wife ask me why I didn't post the memory trip on Monday, because it sounded better. So from now on my trips down memory lane will be on Monday. I remember the first time I met Amy. We had planned to meet at the Wendy's in Orem on State street. I was there ready to go. She and her friend were late. I was about to get back in my car and leave but

I was driving to work this morning and this song was on the radio. It reminded me a a great memory I have. We were on one of our parent's famous lets jump in the van and drive somewhere trips, I think we were going to Yellowstone. Jordan, Amory and I were in the back of the mini van. I don't know who started to sing but quickly we all joined in. It was a song that was popular when Amory and

I haven't posted much lately. So I thought I would give a good rambling. Amy and I have paid off all of our debt minus our new car. We are cash poor right now but that will change in a few months when we will start saving for a house. So keep us in your prayers. For so long Amy and I have only talked about getting out of debt and now that we have to talk about how to spend money it has

I couldn't resist doing this to Liam. I never thought someone would melt my heart like Liam does. Just look at that face.

I love this guy. I first saw him between commercials on MTV. I found his album and I can't get enough of him. First he sounds like Robbie Williams, mostly because he is English and second I love his lyrics. Listening to this guy makes me happy. That junior high out of control kid in me just comes out and has a jolly old' time.

Amy and I had our first child on Thursday. To our surprise it was a BOY!

Tis the season to have family around. I have really grown to love Amy's family but that only makes me miss my own that much more. This CHRISTmas Logan is near and I hope to be able to go hang with him for a while on CHRISTmas day. This Saturday is his birthday and Amy and I are going to make him some cookies and go hang out with him. Hopefully he will make some time for us and work us into

Blessed, this isn’t a term you hear most latter-day saints use but it applies to me. Do you ever just feel like you hit the blessing jack pot? Well I did this month. Last week I was made the employee of the month at work. I was completely taken back. I really love my job and what I do. Talking to angry vendors, who want money, has become on of my strengths. One I certainly never thought I

Okay Amy out did herself. Last night she had over some friends and threw me a Texas party. She made brisket, armadillo eggs, cheese biscuits, and baked potatoes. And the Meyers would be proud of the brisket she made and the armadillo eggs were great. We could actually have called it a Meyers style birthday party. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. It was awesome to meet Jacobs girlfriend she is so

When I was a little kid I remember walking in on my Mom and she would be sitting on her bed and just crying. I would timidly approach her and ask if I had done something to make her mad at me. Her response was "No these are happy tears." I can remember thinking that if mom cries when she is happy then I always want to make her cry these happy tears. Well it has been a few years since that

Here are a few of the pictures I took while the family was together. I know that I had a very good time with all of my brothers and sister. Looking at the pictures makes me want to get together more often.

This is shaping up to a great birthday. So far I am getting a count down to the day. Amy is giving me 13 presents. This is so much fun. Amy is the greatest wife I could ever have. The thing that is the most fun is that she gives the gifts to me in different ways. Like on the third day she gave it to my little brother to give to me while we were in the car driving. She wasn't anywhere near

Well I am surrounded by all of my brothers minus one and it is great. We are all getting ready to take Logan to the temple.

Tomorrow Logan is going to the Jordan River Temple to recieve is endowment. I am so excited. Most of my family is in town for this event and I am looking forward to the whole crazy proceedings. It makes me remember when I went to the temple for the first time. It was just like my PBlessing said. I knew everything that was being taught to me now I just was making promises to most of the laws

Today I had the oppurtunity to talk to several fathers about being a dad and raising a family in todays world. It was interesting. One father was really honest with me and siad that he really doesn't do anything with his children because he is barely making it by now. It got me to thinking what kind of dad am I going to be. I want to be one that is envolved in my lives of my children. I know

I love the holidays! I love all the traditions that we have created over the years. Here are some pictures of this years festivities. We couldn't get every body to look at the camera at the same time so this was the best we could do. Being around family has been so great. It has been a quick visit but loaded with fun.

Love is the capacity to withstand all emotions. Within true love we find tolerance to all mankind’s negative emotions and expression to all of his affirming feelings. Love withstands hate, malice, any negative emotion and reflects back tolerance, patience, kindness, understanding and all the positive emotions man has to offer. It is in true love that we find beauty in the world around us and

Last night Amy and I were watching television and I really wasn’t into what was on the TV so I do what I do from time to time. I watch Amy. I noticed that she was playing with her stomach and then letting go and staring at her belly. Then form out of nowhere her stomach had this bulge that slid across her belly. I shouted “WOW!” Amy was so tickled that I finally saw the baby move. I was

Saturday night Amy & I went out to see a movie with some friends. We saw The Guardian and much to my surprise, I liked it. I knew that it was a story about a Coastguard cadet but not much else. I was surprised because the story was a well thought out motif of life and death. Normally I find the bad acting gets in the way of good scripts and this wasn’t the case. Kevin Costner performance was
