Sponge Bob is funny, no doubt there. We had to get Alan a t-shirt on our vacation to Utah and he insisted on a Jango-Fett shirt. Julie didn't want it, but he wanted it so bad it was almost funny, so we got it for him.

Ruth is going to make a fortune at the show. I only hope she has enough stuff. Maybe she should enlist some of her relatives to help? Julie and the kids wear theirs all the time. It's just cool.

Hey all. I have really enjoyed getting more frequent updates from Jacob. He seems to be working really hard and trying not to get too antsy about coming home. I guess his trip home won't be too eventful since Gigi dogged him on the Spain trip. I guess I would have chosen a boat over a trip to see Jacob as well. Gigi, feel free to choose any aspect of me or my family to criticize, I deserve it now. Ruth and I went to Denver last weekend for the firm party. Dinner at the Cherry Hills Country Club and toodling around in a Jag (rented of course) was pretty relaxing. We managed to make it up to Ben's to have dinner on Sunday and then promptly missed our plan going home so spent an additional few hours at the lovely Denver International Airport. Those little weekend getaways are priceless, especially when the firm picks up the tab. All you married folks out there, try it at least once a year, even if its only a trip to the in-laws cabin. It is therapeutic. We did get to see some of the Blue Angels at Ben's and as we drove home and they are awesome. Work is fine and pretty busy and playing in a few golf tournaments. I was on the committee for a tournament we had yesterday down in Alpine which went really well. Our scramble team shot 11 under (first place was 14 under). I also was invited to play in the Pro-Am for the Utah Open next week so I better get practiced up so I don't embarrass myself. Ruth is getting ready for Swiss Days in Midway, UT a giant crafters type fair. Apparently around 250,000 people show up so she is hoping to sell some of her Jewelry. I have learned from master Obi-Ben and started to ride my bike 3 or 4 times a week. It's a blast and I feel in better shape, although I still can't quite keep up with Lance but if my heart it healthier, I am happy. Corbin is wearing a Sponge Bob Square Pants yellow shirt today that just makes me laugh. Parents shouldn't le their kids pick out their own clothes. All is happy here in Zion, anybody that has any free time or vacation should come down and visit us. Later.

Hi There, Whiteheads. O.K. I have to admit the term "Blogger" was a little intimidating..and I didn't have time to research it out(Call Ben and ask) and so I am slow getting on. Seriously, I am so busy these days. I opted to not drag my kids to Prosser for piano lessons thru the summer because I wanted to take it easy. Kip bought a boat that he intends on using several times a week. He ususally leaves me and Ben since boating isn't "productive." So then I can stay home and clean up or take care of candle business. I thought I finally had my ducks in a row when I got a new calling. I am now the Relief Society President and I think this is what they call Baptism by Fire! I have a very large ward and so it is really a big job. I will figure out what they do in Relief Society now...for the next three years. Everything else is going well here. Mom just left a few minutes ago, she came up to paint a tree and tree house in a friends house. I helped her work on it all day yesterday, it was so cute. I won't do it justice trying to describe it, but I am working on getting a portfolio together for Mom and maybe Ben can make her a web page so that she can make extra money in the summer. Today I am leaving for Pheonix for a business conference. I am excited to get away for a little while to think straight. See you all later! gg

Pictures of the airshow are here. Not recommended if you have a slow connection, it's several megs. It was pretty good, but everyone I knew that went was disappointed because the traffic was so bad, taking at least two hours to get there (all in the last three miles). We had a different experience, we rode our bikes to the airport. It was sweet. Jordan had a blast motoring past all these cars stuck in an endless, unmoving line. I think he really caught the vision of what it's like in those rare moments when you beat cars at their own game. I live for that. Anyway, it took us about 20 minutes to get there, and we were smiling the whole way. When we got to the parking area, the traffic directors just motioned for us to go straight on in, right past the road blocks, where the cars had to turn left or right to park in some dusty field. Actually, getting there and back was the best part of the day. It was so unbelievably crowded and hot. There were not as many planes that flew as we've seen at other shows. Moral of the story: ride your bike.

Tyler came over to visit on Sunday. We had a really good roast. We had lunch together and watched the Blue Angels fly over our house a few times. Tyler rented a Jaguar (pronounced jag-you-ar by those who make them).

Hey everyone, We had a pretty good week. Andy got his clubs on thurs. just in time for the weekend. We went to the driving range a couple of times and did some chipping onto the green. He is really liking them. Brock is crawling really good. I now have a little shadow. I really like Brock's age it is so fun to watch how their brain is constantly looking for something to learn or try and then they just pass out from sheer exhaustion. Abby has learned how to sing the whole first verse of I am a Child of God it is really cute. We had to talk today in church. Since we live in such a small branch it seems like we have to talk every couple of months. I guess we will be a good public speakers by the time we leave this town.
Ben I am looking forward to those pictures. Andy is going to video a blast up at the mine one day and we will post it for you. They are pretty cool I got to see one when I got a tour one day. Well we will check back later.
