Baby update

The latest from the doctor's this morning...All is well.
Cute little kid so far, huh...?

Thanksgivig fest

Logan, being a kid.

Logan, enjoying his "sucka".

Logan, doing that sweet dance move where you hold on to one leg and jump over it.

And a pregnant shot of Terri (because she's not in the room to sensor my postings.) She looks great pregnant no matter what she thinks.

latest work from the office

This is a project that I'm working on for Park City Mountain Resort.
Should be pretty sweet.

Makin' room for baby!

Out with the old (office)...And in with the new (nursery)!

We painted the room white (Sherwin Williams "Snowbound").
We wanted a clean, classic, and modern look.

The dresser will also serve as the changing table.

The office had to move to our bedroom.
We just picked up the frames today which is why they are all still in the packaging. Soon they will be filled with lots of baby photos!

Bouldering

Got out to the Hidden Forest area of Little Cottonwood this last weekend with CB and Talvy. This whole Daylight savings scam is cutting into our usable after work/school climbing time. But at least there are only a few more weeks until snow will cover most the boulders and I'll be skiing instead.

Winter Prep

Ahh, the joys of owning a house...all the things your parents used to pawn off on us kids(raking, mowing the lawn, picking up dog crap) we have to do now. But hey, I guess there are a few good things to come out of it...sneaking pictures of pregnant Terri, Denali looking all crazy, and some nice textures and colors with the gravel border around our yard.

pAtato

I just found out that people didn't fully realize how funny my previous post was. Please look carefully at the sign. I am not just in love with potato chips.

Arches National Park

Delicate Arch

At Albertsons today...

This is why we usually grocery shop at Super Target or Wild Oats:

Haaappy birthday, happy, haaaaapy birthDAY!!!

It's Terri's Birthday today!!!Terri's birthday present mountain. (Thank you everybody)

Terri's requested day before bithday dinner from Nicole and Doug. Home made risotto. The sausages were an added bonus.

Terri's first gluten free chocolate cake in a long time

Ultra sound

Here he is in his movie premiere. You might need to be an ultrasound expert to make things out because I compressed the movie to make it quicker to download.

Moab trip

We took a trip down to Moab with Laura and Chris this weekend. It was nice to get away for the weekend, but the wind down there was pretty vicious and was blowing sand everywhere. It was a little like being in a sandblaster. Denali even went as far as to cover her nose all the time with her tongue to keep the sand out.

It's official...

...we're having a baby boy. Once the ultrasound tech dangled the knowledge in my face, I just couldn't resist. He is going to wear boots like this; although, if we had a little girl, she would too.

Park City Panoramic

Terri and I helped out DesignBuildBluff this weekend by volunteering at the Green Home Tour. This was the house that we helped at. It was decent. Very sustainable, but not very striking.
On another note, some people might wonder "Why do Terri and Tristan work in Park City?" For those that have not been here, this is why...This house that we helped out at sits atop the mountains that are on the other side of the basin from Park City. So what you see is an overview of the fantasticness of the PC area, including The Canyons ski resort, some of Park City Mountain Resort, and if the lighting was better probably some of Deer Valley Resort. It's a pretty decent area.

Fall stream

We took a short drive up Lambs Canyon this afternoon to try and find some fall action. We were not disappointed. I hope that these photos do not disappoint you. We had never been up Lambs Canyon, which is an exit somewhere about half way between home and work, but had always wondered what was up there. Mostly its just a nice narrow drive up a canyon with a few cabins here and there. It was nice, since there is only one or two trail heads and no big parking areas, and most of the land is privately owned, so it wasn't busy at all. Plus the colors are really at their peak or close to it. I love Fall, but ever since moving here school had always made me too busy to get out and enjoy all the colors and cooler temps. I always seemed to find time to get out with Terri just after peak in the past, when only a few Aspen still had a few leaves remaining.It's been nice getting to drive by this scenery everyday to and from work and being able to watch and track the progression of color.

Typical fall commute

A nice thing about Utah is that we get an extended Fall of sorts. While the trees have been starting to change up in the mountains, the trees in the valley have yet to begin their chromatic shift. So, this is what our commute to work has looked like for the last week or two, plus a shot of the view out my window, and in a way, Terri's window since her building is the one across the street and her office window looks out onto the same mountain side.

today is a great day

today is Talk like a Pirate day.

My pirate name is:

Iron William Flint

A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Britten

I don't want all the motorcycle buffs out there reading this to think that Terri doesn't have good taste. Not that the Honda Cub she so thoroughly enjoyed wasn't sweet. This handmade Britten, out of New Zealand, was her second favorite bike, and it was a beauty. This bike sat in a crate for a few years, untouched and unridden. But when the rider took it out to the track, he got schooled by a Ducati. Really, what's the point in having such a sweet bike if you're not going to ride it how it was made to ride? You'd think if you're able to afford this bike, you'd be able to afford to fix it after you lay it down in a tight corner.
