Our Night at NASCAR


So this is Byron and I am making my first attempt at blogging. I have been giving Kim a hard time that she has not kept it as up to date, so I figure I would take my own advice.

A few weeks ago Kim and I decided to go to Vegas for the weekend to visit my family. It had been a while since we had been. When I told my dad we were coming, he informed me that he had been given some tickets to the NASCAR race (they were free - contrary to popular belief, not everything from Vegas is white trash. **please note: the pictures have been censored to prove this**). Kim and I of course jumped on that quickly (since neither of us have been). It was pretty. . . interesting. Kim was a real good sport about having to hang out with the boys that night.

It was pretty interesting, fun and loud. Unfortunately, Dallon was not as impressed. He fell asleep on the way out and was a bit grouchy the entire evening. Kim and I realized it was personal. As soon as Kim started giving him pieces of a hot dog bun and sips of Sprite out of the Sprite lid, he perked right up. Overall, it was a lot of fun (excluding the 3+ hours it took us to get out of the parking lot).

Beach Clean Up/ Ward Activities Gone Wild



Byron and I attended our first family ward activity this past Saturday--a beach clean up, a rather appropriate activity for Earth Day. Byron was so excited to go, and reminded me about it a number of times in the two weeks prior. So we got there, appropriately excited, (see above image) Byron's enthusiasm can be quite catching! To my surprise, five minutes into the trash collecting, Byron informed me that he hated it and it was "not what he expected." (I was never able to get him to explain to me what exactly "beach clean up" had meant to him...) But, Byron was a willing participant and happily held the trash bag as we collected 98 cigarette butts, 71 pieces of styrofoam and QUITE a few bottle caps. All in all, we left the beach with about a half pound of garbage and two hours less of our lives. And we definitely built character.

I never thought it would happen to me!

I had no idea it would be so easy to become a "blogger."
