Final of doom.

So, finals are coming up and i've gotten my nose in my books. I just finished my study guide for the final test for my Oceanography class and it is 10 pages long..... I mean really, i have 3 study guides for a total of about 25 pages that I have to memorize before august 13th (the last day of my final). This is for one class that is supposed to be an introductory freshmen level class. I think that there is something wrong with this picture.

Anyways, after I'm done with this semester I am DONE thats D-O-N-E forever with school pending any crazy ideas of graduate school. I think that Shelly is the most excited person around when it come to me being done with school, I have to admit that I am a little excited to spend some more time with my family.

Hope everything is good you you. love you all!!!

Fun Pics and Owen's B-day

This was us at Owen's B-Day party, he got his first pair of shoes that actually fit!!! Thanks G and G. We had a lot of fun with lots of friends and family.
Owen was starring down his friend, you can see the hate in his eyes because his fire truck was stolen.
Owen's first cake, he actually didn't like it very much because he has never had something as sweet as that.
Owen's B-day cake, he loves fire trucks so Shelly and I made him this cake, it was lots of fun. I wrote the "Happy B-day Owen" can't you tell?
My brothers and dad playing Mario Bros on the fourth of July, it was a blast, anyone wanna come over and play???
Owen loves to give kisses to mama.
Owen just hanging out at the Freedom Festival in Provo.
Owen giving more kisses, gross!!! He hasn't quite figured out how to give closed mouth kisses yet. Maybe next week.
Isn't he sweet, this is the only time the little dude stays still.

If any of you wanted to check on up on my dad's status, here is the link to his blog.

Hey everyone, Owen and I are home from church because he wouldn't take a nap this morning, which in turn made made him very grump for us in sacrament meeting. I thought I would take some time and share with you all my thoughts and feelings this moment. Yesterday, my nephew Noah got baptized along with two others in his ward, I had the privilege of being a witness to that baptism, it was such a special experience to see all 3 of those kiddies go down into the waters of baptism and make a promise to their heavenly father. It made me reflect upon my mission and the people that I had the opportunity to baptize. I know that some of them have fallen away from the promise that they made that day, others have served missions and are serving as branch presidents in the church. I sometimes wonder why those people who fell away fell away from the church, I know they were prepared when they were baptized. Anyways, I think I just wanted to say that that we all need to be aware of the small decisions we are making in our life, they may lead us to make big decisions that are incorrect and will lead us to inactivity in the church. I am so grateful for my dear Shelly and Owen, for the examples they give me every day.

We love you all and are grateful for your friendship. Have a wonderful day!!!


Nate, Shelly, and Owen.
