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....

Alex's New Caravan

Today we picked up our new (to us) Dodge Grand Caravan from a dealership in American Fork. The Van is a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan with 83k miles, it is marron, has the normal power features which includes a DVD for the boys, all in all its a great find. The reason for the new addition to our family was that last week Alex was in an accident the left her fine (although a little sore and shaken up), but left the car totaled. Was searched high and dry for a great deal for what we wanted and found it. Alex does a great job on the net finding those hidden treasures. Great job babe! Here are a few pics. -Matt
p.s.-The second pic shows the custom b-ball hoop out the top of the roof. That is not error, we got it installed so that we can shoot hoops on those long drives to Cali. Sweet huh?

The Yard

Here are the before and after pics of the yard. We finally laid sod this week on Tues 5/19, it was the hottest day of the year (90 degrees) but it was great to have it done. A neighbor and Big Al helped in the afternoon and I was gratful since I had been by myself for the previous 5 hours (the sod gets pretty heavy by then). We still need to work on the flower beds but we do have some of the plants for them. Alex after the sod was down said, "the yard looks so much bigger". It does look larger and the green to me seems so vibriant. Anyhow enjoy the pics.-Matt
