Amateur Wedding Photographer

My younger brother Trevor was married today. He and his new wife Amanda were married in the Richland, WA LDS temple. It was a beautiful ceremony. It was so cool to be in there with them as they were being sealed. I was reminded of the covenants that I made when I was married to Jeanie. I am so happy to be married to a wonderful woman who loves me so much. I know that Jeanie, Jewell, and I are going to be together forever. I love my family so much and am excited for Trevor and Amanda now that they are starting their own family. I nominated myself to take some pictures for them today. I have included a few of my favorites in this post.

One Month Birthday!

Jewell is one month old today. And just as cute as ever. This is a picture of her that I took at Trevor's wedding today. We had to leave her with someone else while we were in the temple for the ceremony. It was the first time that Jeanie and I have both left her. As soon as the ceremony was over we rushed back outside to be back with her. Happy one month baby Jewell!

Dr. Mario

I have found a new name for addiction and it is Dr. Mario. So yesterday I was fooling around on the internet. (In case you don't know that's a thing that Al Gore invented.) I decided that I wanted to get some more ROMs for my Nindendo emulator. So I found a site that gave the top 100 NES games to get some suggestions on the best games to download. One of the games on that list was Dr. Mario. In the last 24 hours I have played Dr. Mario for at least 6 hours and maybe more. (That might not seem like much but I don't exactly have 6 hours to spare.) My sister Tiffany and I spent all of last evening playing. And I can't stop thinking about going and playing some more right now. I believe that Tiffany has caught this addiction also. Her eyes lit up when I mentioned that I might bring the Xbox (modded with NES emulator) home with me this weekend. Just the mere thought of playing some more Dr. Mario glazes my eyes over and all I see are little pills falling into a bottle. Kind of ironic that a video game about drugs falling into a pill bottle is addictive isn't it?

Aunt Tiffany

Jewell's aunt Tiffany came to visit this week. She came from Tennessee for my brother Trevor's wedding that's on Friday. So she flew into Seattle a little early so she could come see Jewell.

The Baby Mohawk

I love doing this with her hair now. I don't think I'd be a big fan of it if she decides to keep the look when she's older. She wasn't in the best mood when I took these pics. Probably because she's been sick the last couple of days. (It breaks my heart every time I hear her little cough.)

A Walk in the Park

The weather in Seattle has been amazing for the last week! Unfortunately I have been mostly cooped up inside. Normally I would have been out climbing but I am still recovering from a tendon injury. So I was planning on going to a Mountain Bike park in Seattle proper that I just found about. But that didn't happen. So the extent of my outdoor activity for this lovely weather has been... A walk in the park! (There are no pictures of me because I'm the family cameraman.)

26 Years Later

Jeanie pulled out her scrapbook the other day and showed be a photo of her with her old baby quilt. It just so happens that we still have that quilt. So at her request we did our best to recreate the picture of her when she was a baby. Jeanie(mother) is on the left and Jewell(daughter) is on the right. The photo of Jeanie was taken in October of 1981 and the photo of Jewell was taken in February of 2008.
