Our cousin Jeff flew in with me to be Nate's patient. Nate did such a good job!!! Way to rock it Nate.

This past weekend I went to Ohio to help my brother with his dental boards test. I was just supposed to go and Curtis was going to take care of Ocean. Curtis and Ocean suprised me on the plane and ended up coming to Ohio with me. The funny thing is that when I saw them on the plane the first thing that popped into my head was "oh Curtis forgot to ask me something about Ocean's schedule" Yeah, the last time I checked they let people on planes for that type of stuff. I wasn't really able to spend tons of time with them because the majority of my days were spent at the dental school but it was still way fun.
Curtis was able to spend some time with Brooke and the kids. One of the days Curtis and Brooke took all five kids to the mall. So there were five kids under five. Curtis said that there were tons of people that were staring at them. Even though Ohio is fun and beautiful we are really excited to have the Nate Tobler family back in Utah where they belong.

Mod squad is in full effect

What is a mod you are asking yourself. Everybody who is anybody is riding a mod these days. Here's what you do. Go into the garage and steal your kids trek mod trike and "modify" it. My brother-in-law Nate works at Mad Dog Cycles and him and his friends started to modify the trikes and race them down a large steep hill. We stated to race them in the basement at work and now we are all hooked. Whether you want to try and kill yourslef down a large hill going 35mph+ and doing crazy 360's or cruise around the neighborhood we highly recommend "the MOD"

Ema cruising around the neighborhoood. Looking good Em

Even Ocean loves the Mod rides

Here is what the Mod looks like before Mad Dog Cycles gets a hold of them

The Box of Fun taking all the mods to knarly hills of Orem. The more the merrier

Curtis is a smooth talker



Today we decided to go out on the Mods and hit the old Wordperfect hill because the girls and kids wanted to watch us. It took about five minutes for a "rent a cop" for the area to show up. He told us that it was a public road so he couldn't kick us off and he immediatly called the police. As we were cruising down the hill for the second time a po-po showed up. Curtis pulled a 360 right in front of him and the cop motioned him over. He told Curtis that an anonomys phone call was made (rent a cop jerk) and that we needed to leave. Yet in the same breath he expressed how cool the mods were. He said that when the call came in that there were "adults on big wheels cruising down the hills of orem" he had to take the call and check it out. He suggested a better hill to try and met us there to watch the guys ride. Thanks Orem Police for being so cool!!! At the suggested hill his sergant came to watch us ride. What a great time.

Remodeling the home

Here are some pictures of what the home looked like before we bought it and also some demo pictures. This week we were able to get the wall down in both the front room and the master bed. Liz the piano isn't ours and our house isn't near complete. We still have to do electrical, sheetrock, flooring, paints and some other crap too. It has been really fun the be able to work on it together.

Curtis watching Ocean



I found a couple of pictures of Curtis and Ocean spending some quality time together. They are so cute. I am shocked that I couldn't find any pics with sportscenter on in the background.
