A tribute to the bro's Part 1



To start, this is my first official posting as a blogger, yes this is Dan. I am going to start doing a weekly tribute to the Bro's, a look back at how cool we used to be. A little history, I dug these out of my old mission book today I don't remember what dance we were going to. I believe it was the spring of 1998, yes almost 11 years ago. This picture was taken in our South Jordan living room. If I remember right it was Andy and Ryan's first High School Dance and my last one; Andy and Ryan were trying to make a lasting(forever) impression and wow they did it. This really brings back memories of how big of studs we were, and still are. I especially think Ryan hasn't changed much. I bet everybody else would agree with that. The glasses are a classic, I am sure Ryan is thankful that contacts have been invented since then so that people don't have to wear such fashionable spectacles. His Erkle pants are also quite classic I love the fact that his suspenders are cinched so tight that his pants are ridding his belly button line. If you were a parent what would you think when this young man picked up your daughter for at date? "Whew I was worried my daughter was going out with the school jock, but instead I got the chess champion, boy do I feel relieved". On the other hand there was Andy and I, both of us with deep fashion sense me with my "Lady killing" smiley faced tie and suspenders and Andy with his suave smile and his debonair hair. What really has changed? I still have the tie and suspenders, Andy still has his good looks and Ryan well... were glad he has changed. I love my brothers very much and I hope they will forgive me for the next couple of weeks of reminiscing about our cooler days, I am hoping that this will inspire some courtship for Ryan. Luckily for Andy and I we are already married or we might not have been if our wives saw these pictures before we were married. If anyone is looking for a hot sexy date the man on the left is very available! Call for more details!

Sand dunes in Moab









We went to Moab AGAIN this last weekend for some MORE family fun! We ended up most of the weekend at the sand dunes riding four wheelers, motorcycles and the rhino! The kids had a blast with their Uncle Jason and cousins. Besides Christina pushing Ethan out of the truck and Jason hitting on Ryan's woman, the trip was a success!

New Fireplace and the first snow of the winter

This past week we finally got our fireplace put in. It is SOOOOO cold here in the winter that without it, we are paying WAY TO MUCH for electricity (yes our house is all electricity). We don't get natural gas in our area. So, we put in a fireplace ourselves. Next year we will do some rock and pretty stuff around it, but we just did n't have time to do it if we wanted to get it in before the first snow happened, which was TODAY!

Memories

Okay, so I saw this on my friend Becky's blog and I left a comment on hers and I thought that it was so fun!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I (or Dan) have had together. It doesn't matter if you know us really well or just a little.. anything you remember!

2. Next, repost these instructions on your blog (if you have one) and see how many people leave a memory about you! If you leave a memory on mine, I will assume that you are playing and I will visit your blog and leave a memory for you also. I made it so that anyone can make a comment even if you do not have an account. Just post under the name/URL or as annonymous and leave your name in the post! It is way easy, give it a try! Have fun!

We have had a busy past week. We went camping Monday-Wednesday for Ethan's Birthday. On Friday Dan's Uncle Jared and his family came and visited for the weekend. We had a really great time 4-wheeling and fishing on Friday and Saturday. We love it when people come and visit!
Happy Birthday Ethan!

Congratulations Erin!

I just wanted to say congratulations to Dr. Erin Arthur! My sister in law just graduated from Medical School this past weekend.. what a babe! She has worked so hard for the past 4 years (and even more) to get to this point in her life. She is an amazing person and will be such a great physician. I wish the best to her and my big bro Jason as they head off to Alaska for her residency. We will miss you guys!See a video of her hooding below.
