The Homestead

We spent the last few days at the Homestead Resort in Midway, UT (near Park City). We were there for a summer conference for Edward Jones (Matt's work). The work part really wasn't much of the time up there and that was even enjoyable! The sad part is we took the camera, but didn't take a single picture. I tried to get one from the Homestead website, but they are all on slideshows, and I don't know how to pause them to copy the pictures. Anyway it was beautiful and the boys and I spent most of the time playing on the playgrounds, swimming and "going on adventures" (as E says it). We really didn't do anything really exciteing, but we got to meet some great people and relax.

We have so much going on the next few weeks! Two family reunions, another trip to colorado, and Matt has a hike in Zions and a work training trip. So hopefully we will be able to update soon enough with all of what happened between now and then.

I hope the 4th is great for every one!

Ben's request

Here is one of the angles of the front yard makeover, a cool reflection picture of A playing in the gutter after a car wash. Look for the flag in the picture. There is also a nice pic of E. Enjoy!

p.s.-Lots of posts tonight, dont forget to scroll down. Bye!

Happy Father's Day

Alex got me this really cool bathroom mat and I had to show it off. Can you tell what it is? Now before I hop in the shower in the morning I can catch a few sets (waves). If I get good enough again maybe I can compete on the local circuit. Jealous anyone?

Tribute to Mom Y

I was strolling down memory lane tonight so I had to jot it down. So, here it goes: One evening while I was weeding just above the back yard brick wall Mom came out of the house and asked with a slight smile on her face, "Do you want to go and get a new pair of shoes?". A sort of odd question but the real thought on my mind was she probley wants to get me some wierd sale shoe from Payless or something. I was in the 6th grade and fashion was becoming more and more important to being "in" or socially accepted. In either case, I was nervious about what shoes she might have in mind. I must have seemed hesitant because Mom clarified what she had in mind by dropping the words "Nike Air". Now she had my attention. At that point in my short life I had dreamed for a Nike Air shoe. All of my friends had Jordans ($120) or some other cool Air shoe. Mom went on to say that she saw an ad and to come and see it (Hence the Big 5 ad). I saw the ad and I was jumping up and down inside-they were perfect. They were mid-tops, white and gray, swooshes on the side and "AIR" in large letter on the back of the shoe. I remember going to school the next day to find another kid just got another pair of new Jordans ($150), but it didnt matter. My Mom somehow knew that a $39.99 pair of shoes would last me more than a few months, the memory of how My Mom loved me would last 15 years. Thanks Mom-Love Ya!

8 is not enough

This post is especially for my Sister in Law Allison, who reads new blog posts at the speed of light... so here goes. Baby Yrungaray #9 is on it's way... we are due December 19th. (for those of you who don't know us that well, I am not having my 9th... it's my third, but it is the 9th for their side of the family) I am feeling fine, I'm actually into my second trimester and I can't believe how fast life is flying by this time around. E and A are way way way excited they talk to the baby all the time and give it snuggles. My side of the family has known for a while now, (cause I'm a reallybad lier/fibber and they figured it out) but we wanted to tell they Yrungaray side until Mom and Dad got here so we could tell them in person.
So here is the challenge, Allison, you have to get pregnant before we have our baby so that there is a Yrungaray girl pregnant at all times for the next while... like a crazy relay race... what do you think? (that means your next after that Steph) LOL I love you girls and I hope we are all blessed with lots of kidos!

Congrats Bri & Kevin

Sabrina and Kevin are the proud new parents to a beautiful baby boy. He was born Saturday 5/31/08 @ 6:30 am. Congratulations! He is so cute!!!

Surf's Up

Happy Birthday John (May 16th, 1960-j/k) and thanks again for inviting us to come along with you to the new FlowRider (stationary wave) in Ogden, UT. It is very similar to the wave we used to ride at Pharo's in Redlands, CA. My buddies (Aaron, Ben, Brian, Mark) and I used to be able to do dropknee, dropknee spins, cutbacks, belly-spinners, rolos (although kinda lame on the flowrider) and I even pulled off a dropknee board shuffle (180). We used to have such a good time when the waves at the beach were small to nothing. It was the perfect summer alternative to small beach waves. Memories, memories....
