Tyler's First Post

I know that Becky normally does the blogging, but she insisted that I do it today, and since I don't have the excuse of homework, I guess I kinda need to do it.

School has been out for about a week and it has been super nice to be home and just spend time with my wonderful wife and sweet son. It's a little weird to not have a homework assignment haunting my thoughts, but nice too.

There are a few things that I really love in this world, at the tip top of the list is my family. Here are some pictures of Jack. We got new phones a while ago and have been taking pictures with them like mad, and 99% of the pictures have been of Jack.

This first picture is of him a couple months ago before we headed out to church.

This next one is him a couple nights ago in the tub, people have said that he has slimmed down a bit, but it is hard to tell that from this picture.

We got some family pictures taken a little while back too, and here is one of my favorites. One of my buddies took the pictures, and I think he did pretty good. Jack's face is pretty much hilarious.

All in all I feel like I am pretty much the luckiest guy in the world. I also love the gospel, climbing, and little cars. Simple ones. Like this little Austin Healey Sprite.

And did I mention climbing...?

Climbing wins for so many reasons. First it is just way fun, and challenging. It is physically demanding and mentally as well, like a puzzle. Plus you get to be out in nature, hopefully away from all of the pollution. And, as an added bonus, it is great exercise. That picture is at Mount Graham last summer, which is pretty much the nicest place in Arizona.

But with that I've pretty much covered my bases, except for this picture of the world's gnarliest Nacho Cheese Dorito.

Yes that is copious amounts of cheese powder. One of my co-workers bought a bag which had 5 chips and one big cheese ball in it. He ended up complaining to Frito-Lay and getting 2 coupons for free chips. I ended up taking a little bite of this. It wasn't as bad as you would think. I do think that my heart stopped beating for a moment, but I felt better after a couple hours.
