Clifton Labrum We had a little family outing last Saturday night at Red Butte Gardens up above the University of Utah. It's a small, well-designed collection of gardens with plenty to look at for a couple of babies who don't have any trees at their house. Here are a few photos we took. The kids loved it there, and even forewent eating (which they never do) to have more time to stare at plant life and listen to the crickets.

Aside from the brief encounter we had with a rattlesnake (I have Jenn's surprise/horror on video), it was a great night out. We look forward to taking the kids to other vegetation-intensive places where they can stare at trees, smell fragrant flowers, and listen to insects.

]]> Ella sure loves sucking on her hands these days, and she's really good at making it look like her entire fist is in her mouth. I think she's actually just got her fingers in there, but sometimes we think we're going to have to call the fire department to come extract her hand.

For whatever reason, Ella has been putting her hand on the back of her head all the time these days. It's pretty funny. You're gorgeous, little Ella!

Clifton Labrum We put the kids in their own room last Saturday and their sleeping habits have suddenly improved. Maybe it's because we can make it darker in their room than we could in ours. Anyway, they slept 9 hours straight last night before needing to eat. This is great! I hope they can keep it up.

]]> I haven't been excited for a specific video game to come out since I was a kid. The last one I can remember being stoked for was probably Wonder Boy in Monster Land on the Sega Master System (yes, it's been that long). I first played Tiger Woods PGA Tour on the Wii at Six Flags in Texas. I thought it was cool, but didn't really give it much more thought. But recently, Jenn's family came in to town, so we rented a few Wii games, including Tiger Woods 08. Needless to say, I really enjoyed it and I knew I was hooked.

This golf game is much more realistic than the golf included in Wii Sports both in game play and how you swing the Wii Remote. If you turn your wrist the wrong way, for example, you'll introduce a hook or slice into your shot. It's also pretty realistic when it comes to chipping and putting. The graphics are a step up, too, with tons of different courses and playing options.

Tiger Woods 09 comes out August 26th and I even delayed getting a birthday present so I could justify getting this game on release day. I'm particularly interested in this version of the game because you can now play online against friends and family, which means my brothers-in-law and I will be starting up golf tournaments that are just as intense and crazy as our Stickball league.

While I may not have tons of time to play with other life responsibilities, I still plan on improving my game by strutting around the golf course as Mike Weir (yep, I'm a lefty). You'll have to come over some time and give this game a whirl.

]]> My coworker, Kaleb, brought me a present today. It now hangs on the wall of my cubicle. Sorry for the low quality camera phone shot, but you can probably see the resemblance of Dwight Schrute as a kid to me as a kid.

]]> My sister, Hayley, recently took this picture of us at my Grandma Thomas's 81st birthday. Ella sure is a cutey, and I need to shave. As a quick update, we took the kids to the pediatrician for their 4-month checkup, and they're both doing great. Luke weights 14lb. 10oz. and Ella is at 13lb. 2oz.. The kids are getting bigger, smarter, and louder. :)

]]> The little ones turned four months today (8/8/08) and both are doing well. They go to the doctor on Monday, so we'll be sure to report their health status and weight. We're consistently getting 7 hours of sleep at night these days, and the kids are hitting all the traditional milestones.

They had their first vacation and flew to Arizona to meet more of their family. They did great on the plane and enjoyed interacting with their 16 cousins.

We're thrilled that they're healthy, strong, and happy—and it doesn't hurt that they're sleeping longer at night and starting to eat cheaper formula. Things are improving and it's making everybody happy.]]>
