Jaycee Growing

Jaycee has been busy growing and developing her personality of late. Here are a few photos over the past few weeks.


Here mother found baby, after dad was instructed to watch her during a Blazer game. The sling has come in very handy I must say.

Oh yes, I remember this one. I discovered out luggage makes for a pretty cool piece of transportation for Jaycee. I pulled her around in this for a while.

Here is mom and Jaycee with Sis Allred from the Branson Time Out for Women.

Pictured here is Jaycee telling Dad her picks for March Madness. She hasn't done too hot considering she had Temple winning it all.

Here is Jaycee at her happiest time, the morning. She loves waking up, getting a clean diaper, eating and of course singing!

Here is Jaycee doing her best to please both mother and father with her wardrobe.




These last four are some quality father/daughter time.

She is getting so big and growing so fast. Let us know if you want to babysit, we are always looking for ways to share our little bundle of joy with others.

Excitement in Oklahoma


Well as it does most years, selection Sunday fell the day before my birthday. This year Whit surprised me with two tickets to the 2nd weekend of March Madness (sweet 16). But then only a matter of hours later we discovered that the beloved Cougars would be playing in Oklahoma City.

Without missing a beat my good wife strongly pushed me into getting tickets to the BYU game as well. As a good, devoted and supportive husband I agreed, and we purchased some great tickets. In fact they were awesome seats (as seen in the photo below). We were the front row of the corner section. The only problem was we were the only BYU fans on that half of the arena.

We arrived about an hour before game time and took in the whole experience, for example; going courtside to watch warm-ups, Jaycee insisted she get a picture with Jimmer (as seen below), running back to the car because they didn't let us take our detachable lens in the arena, feeding Jaycee (as seen below) so she will be all ready for the action, etc.


It was a fabulous experience. We couldn't have picked a better game to see live: Jimmer dropped 37 points, Llyod Jr had 26 points, the game went into double OT, we got all kinds of looks because of a crazy screaming BYU fan (me) strapped with a 11 week old baby to his chest, broke the one and down curse and of course beating Florida is always a great experience no matter the contest.



We did have a little time to check out Oklahoma City. We visited the bombing memorial of 1995 (I think), drove down-town, had my wife tell me numerous times how she would never live in Oklahoma, paid about $20 in two days in toll fee's, and saw interesting road signs like "don't drive through smoke."

One other cool part about the trip was that on the way home Whit graciously drove and Jaycee and I sat in the back seat and watched live games as I streamed them onto my laptop. I thought there was no way driving through the middle of no where Oklahoma/Missouri it would work, but I was pleasantly surprised when it did.

My two girls are awesome, and I think they may have had more fun than I did. Thanks for a great birthday Whit, guess the pressure is on for May.

Problem Solved

Ev thought Jaycee had outgrown her PJ's, so this is what he did. Priceless.
