Family trip to California



Me and my family took a trip to California. We went through Reno to get to our timeshare in Winsor, CA (Wine country) Then we drove down San Fransisco, CA then San Jose, then San Simeon, CA then we drove to Marina Del Ray, then Pismo Beach, then through Las Vegas all the way home. Total miles= 1500+.

This is a picture of the pool at Hearst Castle. This Man decided to make a mansion on top of his favorite childhood hill and he based on castles he visited with his family. I saw a lot of greek art in his collection. The pools were my favorite part.


This is the indoor pool:


You see that gold color on the floor and the walls? 22 Karrot gold. This guy was loaded

Byu vs Utah State


I was at the game on friday and I sat on the very top row above the north goal. The game was great, it started out like the Byu vs Utah game, a lot of interseptions by the other team and fumbles, but later in the game we got our points back and then some. The final score was 35 to 17 in favor of Byu. Game highlights: Dennis Pitta caught his first pass of the game with 2:14 remaining in the first quarter for a 6-yard touchdown, tying the score 7-7, Luke Ashworth scored his first touchdown in a BYU uniform with 14:22 to play in the second quarter, bringing down a career-long 48-yard pass from Max Hall, and those are just a few.

My grandma's 80th birthday.


Last weekend I visited my grandma for her 80th birthday. She lives in Phoenix, Arizona. We flew out of Salt Lake City on thursday (with a busted knee). We had a great time while we were there, my mom wrote this poem for my grandma:

God has given us so much love.
He smiles on us from heaven above.
I feel grateful for my blessings in life.
I am even grateful for all of my strife.
I know the road has had its mountains to climb.
I know it has had moments of joy and sublime.
The world ever changes and is moving very fast.
Sometimes things feel that they won’t last.
The joy of some moments we want to hold longer,
is replaced by the next moment of life which is stronger.
Each moment brings some mystery and wonder,
We welcome it with our perception of the circumstances that we are under.
These moments of change flow like the current of a river;
ever pulling, never stagnant, forever changing, to shape us from the giver.
Like the stones in the bed of the river,
the moments of life smooth and change us to meet Spirit and see clearer.
I am grateful for consistency in these times of change.
There are some things that I know will always remain and never rearrange.
I know my Heavenly Father is the Father of us all.
I know our Savior delivered us from the fall.
I know a mother loves deep to her soul.
A mother is always there for you when you’re young and when you’re old.
You’ve sacrificed, and loved, and given from your heart.
You’re the element that calms the river and what consistency is all about.
You are the heart of the home; the a beacon of light
I thank God for you, my mother, I cherish you, I love you, I will always hold on tight.
