"THE WALL" - minus Robby

We had so much fun watching the BYU vs. UCI games. They were very intense - although I was much more relaxed without my son on the court!! - not as exciting but not as intense for Scott and me. It was very strange to walk in and see them warm up and not catch sight of my boy. But it reminded us of the fun we have ahead of us in a couple of seasons.

Julie had the guys (Russell Holmes and Yvan Perez) pose for a "WALL" shot minus Robby. The three of them at the net were quite a threat to be reckoned with!! On Saturday we went to lunch with the players at Julie's home in Laguna Beach. It was really fun to be able to catch up with them.

Jordyn is holding her favorite rock of the day.

Tonight I get to babysit my little preciousness for Valentine's Day. These are a few shots of her from one of our recent Gigi-Jordyn moments.

Dan was mad dogging it with a 'martini' of cold milk and cookies.

Of course we never ate at this table - there were way too many fun restaurants to try.

P Day

Robby sent a disc of some pictures. LOVE IT!!!! I can't believe what a thrill it is to see my boy. It looks like his zone gets out to some incredible spots for their p-days. It truly is paradise.




This is Robby's first comp - Elder Rascano


It looks like one of the Elders climbed up the tree to pick coconuts!


Robby has mentioned how drinking coconut is one of his favorite things. In fact he sent us a cool picture last time of him in his kitchen with a machete knife and a coconut having breakfast. Problem is - he was sitting there in his garments and nothing else. So that one's not going on the blog :)

More to come later. There are a ton of cool pictures. I'll do a few at a time.

Robby - this one's for you!!

Robby sent us some pictures of his expanding gut. He's enjoying the pastries a little too much :)

So just to inspire you with your morning sit ups Robby - here's the six pack that we all love to be envious of!

New York New York

Love is in the Air!!
