This is fishing at the enterprise reservoir. Im not in this picture but I did the exact same thing in the exact same place. I like fishing alot, its so relaxing and you fell good after you catch a fish and then you get to celebrate by eating it. Thats also a place were me and my cousins would cliff jump. The cliffs there were a lot higher than the ones at sand hollow. I still got fish blood on one of my white shirts to prove it. Some of the cliffs there were 60 ft high. I never jumped off that one but my brother did and 2 of my cousins. They said when you hit the water it was like hitting cement for a split second and it felt like at was tearing you arms off. So I never tried it, also it was a long way to get around to so thats also a reason. We went camping there once too. It was funny because there was a drunk guy with a few sober friends next to our campsite and he was hilarious.
This is the shed at the flat on a stormy day. I love storms in hurricane and I dont know why, I just do. We would often get really stormy days down there with lots of lightning and thunder. Sometimes we would get blankets and tie it to our hand and ankles and try to walk down a hill while the wind is blowing us the opposite direction. Its really hard because it would get really windy. One time I took a nerf ball I got for christmas and when you throw it, it makes a wistle sound. So when I threw it against the wind it was almost ear piercing. Another time there was a huge dust devil in the middle of the farm throwing chickens everywhere. It knocked over a few things but all in all the farm was fine.
This is the pond at the flat. Its a fun place. sometimes there are ducks in it sometimes not. haha is this boring you? well one time we filmed a movie about a stuntman named jared. It was after we had watched hot rod. And sometimes the pond would be full sometimes it would be empty. But this time it was shallow. So jared would get on a bike and ride full speed off of the dock as shown in the picture and straight into the water. But as soon as he hit the water is bike stopped he went head on into the clay and a tone of mud shot up from the water it was hilarious.
This is cliff jumping at sand hollow. The cliff we were jumping off of was unique because it was diagonally shaped so you could jump off at different heights depending on how manly you are. The first time I went I started at the lower parts then worked my way up to the top. But you didnt know for sure how high you jumped because the water would often rise or fall. Im not sure why it does that. We also went tubing here for a high adventure I went on its a great place. I got a really bad sunburn spending two whole days on the lake. The cliff was estimated to be about 40 ft tall.

This was christmas 2007, me dallin and rick were dressed up as the wise men. That was the year I got my first Ipod. It was a third generation nano. I also got an airsoft gun a bunch of clothes a football a basketball, and Get smart. It was a great year but I think the christmases just keep getting better and better. Maybe Its because im getting older but I think the fact that rick is on his mission Is why my favorite year was 2010. Christmas is easily my favorite part of the year. Summer is really good too, I guess the difference between them is the weather and school. But christmas probably beats it.
This is in disneyland about 4 years ago. I dont know why we havnt been back because my parents go on a cruise like once a month and that it twice as expensive as the whole family going down. My favorite rides were definately soaring over california, space mountain, indiana jones, california screamin, and the grizzly ruchin river. Most people dont like that ride because it spins alot and you get wet so there isnt a long ride. One time we would go on it get off and go on it again because there wasnt a single person in line or on the raft, we did that about five times. I estimate going on space mountain 10 times, indiana jones 10 times. grizzl ruchin river 10 time soarin over calforni 5 times and california screamin 20 times. It was a blast.
This is at green river utah. This is where we went for our high adventure. Whats unique about green river camp is that the entire camp is surrounded by a golf course. The only problem is all the nuclear mosquitoes. After one would bite you, you could acually see the bite form in a matter of seconds. And it itched like crazy. Those things were every were. There was an entire infestation of them but the thing was it was only in the spot we were camping not on the golf course. I guess thats because we were near a river. We spent about two days there played a round of 18 holes a day which took like 8 hours came back, had dinner and just chilled. Every once in awhile a train would come so we took some pennies and placed them in the track when the train came by again the pennies were smich out abou an inch and a half, it was awsome.
This is at grandpas surprise Louio. We went to Shelly and Codys house because there backyard is saweet. They have a massive wall of rocks that you can climb on. And then after that they have another huge wall of rocks you can climb on. The food there was great. Me and my cousins had to spend all day setting up chairs and tables. About a year ago we spent three hours hauling sawd onto there yard and ill tell ya that stuff is extremely heavy. Grandpa was really surprised we had a bunch of hawaiian stuff there and some fire dancers, but the best part of the whole thing was the Pina Colada
This is New years Eve 2010. That was probably my favorite year. At the beginning of the year we went on a cruise which was awesome. Then I went to ruby Inn with my friends in the ward and we snoshoed. Then in june our family went to moab to hike arches national park. Then from there me and my dad went to green river for high adventure to golf. Then we went from there to hurricane and had grandpas surprise louio. After that I went to EFY wich was a blast. The week after that I went to Youth conference up in manti. Then after the fourth of july(wich was sweet) I went to CEU football camp wich was probably one of my favorite activities all summer. Then I just chilled all july, and at the end Our family took a week long vacation to florida. Then after that football season begun and I went to practice every morning at 6. Then school started. Then a week after school started anna abby and my parents went to rome and I had the whole house too myself which was the best. Then football ended and basketball season begun. Then Halloween. Then thanksgiving up in hurricane. Then Christmas which was my favorite christmas ever, and last but not least New Years Eve.

This is my AF Rec basketball team playing another AF Rec team at AF highschool. I am number 3 because I number 3 is the best and am always number 3 because number 3 was also my football team and its my favorite pool ball. We are playing juniors and they were really good. One guy could dunk it without even jumping I swear he must have been bigfoot in humans clothing. When they had the ball The pointguard passed it to bigfoot and he charged in and i jumped up to block the shot and his elbow came down on my hip. Luckily he missed the shot and fell and I swear the entire school shook when he hit the ground.

This was on our cruise to mexico last February. Our ship was the royal carribean mariner of the seas. We were playing mini golf on the boat. Rick was winning but I wasn't far behind when I made an amazing shot. It bounced of the green hill, hit the stone thing standing behind the rock, curved left hit the rock wall in a way so the ball went up, hit the white wall and was heading for the hole when it decide it wanted to go right instead of straight so I missed it and lost the game. It was an awesome week. We went to Cabo san Lucas then we went to mazatlan and then we ported at Puerto Vallarta. Most of the time we just swam and ate and went to a few shows. That was also during the super bowl and the saints won against the colts which was sweet because I am sick of the colts. It was pretty much the coolest thing ever.

This is in Hurricane Utah at my grandparents house. What we are doing here is parkour. Its basically to get from point A to point B as creatively as possible. But as you can see we are not that good at it. This was during thanksgiving 2010. I probably ate more food than I ever had there because it was amazing. We did alot of cool stuff that week. Like shooting some pigs and then skinning them. It took like 3 hours. Then we had to chop them up and put them in categories. Ham, ribs, sausage, pork chops, etc. Then we had too grind up the sausage three or four times. After all that hard and exhausting work we could finally get back to our video games, but then grandma came downstairs and said we had to go out and pick up an entire truck full of corn that was left from the cornfield. It was an awesome week.

This is me making a tackle as a linebacker against the Pleasant Grove Vikings. One game we were playing PG and On the first kickoff we scored a touchdown then They fumbled the ball and we scored another touchdown. So we thought that we had this in the bag. But at halftime they came back and before we knew it we were tied and the game ended. So we went into overtime. Each team gets 4 downs to score at the 20 yard line. So on the second down we scored. But when they did it we stopped them until the 4th down then they ran got tackled and the guy carring the ball jumped stuck his hand out, and barely made the touchdown. then we socred again, and they scored again. now we were in double overtime, but this time they went first and we barely stopped them, then on the 4th down Erik Ostrum ran around took 3 hard hits and made the touchdown. It was one of the most intense games of my life.
