March Madness

This is going to be the mother of all posts. We are taking what easily could have been three posts and combining all of it into one.

Our adventures started at the first of March. March 6th was my birthday. My wife decided to surprise me with an activity. Little did I know that this activity consisted of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at 13,000 feet.

After we got ready in our awesome jump suits, we got a little training and before we knew it we were walking to the airplane. After a plane ride to 13,000 feet, the door opened. It is a feeling that we both cant even describe. All I can say is that skydiving should be on everyone's bucket list. We intentionally and successfully jumped from an aircraft while in flight thousands of feet above the Earth thus joining the elite group of humans who actually do the things they have always wanted to do instead of just talking about them while sitting on the couch watching TV.


To add to our adventures, over spring break we decided to hike Angel's Landing In Zion National Park. If you don't know about this hike, all I can say is it isn't for those who are terrified of heights. The ridge below is the ridge you hike to get to the top.

The beauty of success!

After taking our lives in our hands, we decided to take a easy hike to the Grotto. It was a chain of beautiful waterfalls. It was a nice relaxing hike compared to Angel's Landing. All I have to say is that Angels need to rethink their landing.

Ms. Frances Susan Williams

To top off the month of March, we had the opportunity to meet France Susan Williams.

Rich, Julie and the girls were back in Utah for a week. We were able to go up to Logan for France's baby blessing. It was nice to see them all. I couldn't believe how cute France is and how much little Ruby has grown!

Needless to say, March has been an awesome month!

Happy Birthday Mom!

There are a few days throughout the year that have some bitter sweet moments connected to them. A year and a half ago March 1st became one of these days. It is a remarkable day because one of the most charismatic women I know was born. She is the true meaning of a "woman". She also served her purpose as the perfect definitions for a loving mother, wife, friend, sister, and teacher. The day in my mind now has a shadow cast long and dark over it. The bitter side is that I cant share this big day with one of the most influential women in my life. I truly miss her, but I celebrate her life today. Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Dad!

My dad came down for the weekend and Chelsea and I had the opportunity to take my dad out for his birthday.



We started our morning off by hitting up Zion National Park. The weather was beautiful and the scenery was even more spectacular.

Being the slower season in the park, we were able to take our own car up in and take our time. We stopped at every little pull off and enjoyed the views. We also did a few little hikes.

After the park we headed to St. George and shopped a little (Chelsea's Idea).

We then went to eat at Texas Road House (Dad's and Micah's Idea).

We ended our day with a some Olympics and birthday cake. It was an awesome day. We are glad we could be with my dad throughout his big day! Once again...Happy Birthday Dad! We Love You!
