Pictures of Kendell Mae Prisbrey

Alright, I am feeling terrible that I had a baby five months ago and did not post a single picture of her. So, here I go. This is officially my first post on our blog. I'm not sure if it will be my last, but at least it will get rid of my guilt for not posting about having another child!!

She was born on May 1, 2009.

Utah Jazz Player Look-A-Likes

Because it is playoff season for the Jazz there's a lot focus now on how they will do against the lakers.. blah, blah, blah. Let's face it, they have no chance! But what they do have are a few celebrities that resemble some notable players.

The obvious AK and Ivan Drago. "I must break you"


There was a show on TV years ago called 'Freaks and Geeks' and one of the stars who played a nerd on the show looks exactly like D-Will. His name is Samm Levine.


When the Iraq war started there was a lot of publicity on Saddam and his two sons. Around the same time, the Jazz were looking at Carlos Boozer. I remember thinking Boozer and Uday Hussein could be twins.


We've all heard it a million times... Korver looks like that Ashton Kutcher dude. Perhaps a little. For the longest time I couldn't quite put my finger on who he reminded me of until the other night when I was almost a sleep... ITS CARROT TOP!

Man Trip 2009

Recently, a few us got together and headed up to Matt Aardema's cabin in the Uintah Mountains for the ‘The Annual Man Trip, 2009.’ This "event" began as an annual overnight backpacking trip on a Friday night; somewhere far away from civilization, where cell phones were unnecessary added weight to a carefully packed backpack. Slowly it has evolved into a semi-annual, three-day trip (could very well become quarterly) to a cabin, fifty yards from a major highway, equipped with most of the amenities needed for lot’s of Halo, rock-band and plenty of Will Farell movies. (Oh and a lot of farting)

The last two winter sessions of the trip, we began to deviate – albeit slightly- from the usual routine of playing Xbox all day and night to spending some time outdoors in the surrounding winter beauty. We brought some sleds and tubes and found a hill nearby. Luckily, there were no serious injuries.

Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year

The title says it all.. We are the world's worst bloggers.

Our yearly average of 1.083 posts per month (13 in 2008) doesn't seem so terrible. But when your last post was in September, you officially suck. So, as we were recently discussing New Year's resolutions, "not sucking at blogging" came right after losing Holiday weight.

As we began discussing why we suck at blogging, we noticed a few things:

1. We are as bad at taking pictures as we are at blogging
2. When we take pictures, we forget that they can be downloaded to a computer (a crucial part of blogging)
3. We may have forgotten our username/password once or twice
4. When you don't post regularly, it's difficult to go back and summarize what has happened over the last six months.

So here are a few pictures of what has been happening with our family since Eli's birthday.

Labor Day at Bear Lake

The fam at the campsite at the Bear Lake KOA. It wasn’t really a campsite, it was more like an RV park, but for small tents.



Tired boy! This kid never lays down, unless he is sleeping in his bed. Here he just wanted to lay on the grass and have Dad rub his feet.



The boys loved playing in the sand. After this trip, we just might invest in a sand box.



Owen constructing a super highway.



Got the whole family together for a photo on the last day.

Time for an update!

So not much has changed since the last posting, exept for: Michael came home his mission, Dave left his job with Otsuka Pharmaceuticals after almost five years, Courtney came home to visit few weeks during the middle of his Afghanistan tour, Nate came home from his mission, the Prisbrey family hosted the Sneddon family reunion, Karen passed away and Dave and Steve turned 33. Other than that, things haven't really changed:).

This summer has actually been very busy. It all started off with Michael coming home. He was in Raleigh, NC. He has been home for a few months and recently made Weber State's cheer team.

Shortly after Michael came home, Dave left Otsuka and took a job with a company called Biohorizons, selling dental implants. Changing jobs is not fun, although Dave is really beginning to love it. Randy, Dave's dad owns a dental lab and has helped him better understand the industry. Steve, Dave's twin brother works for Colgate and also sells to dentists. Part of Dave's job responsibility is to go into surgery and explain to the surgeon how to use their surgical products. One of his concerns was that he wouldn't be able to make it through a surgery without getting queasy. So far, so good.

In late June the Dave, Steve and Anne hosted the Prisbrey reunion. It was nice seeing everyone there. Donna, Vern, Bill and Jennifer drove up from California, while Uncle Russ, Lance and Luke came up from Florida. The rest of the gang, Karen and her family, and Wendy and her girls came from the Utah County area. We had a great time playing water games and visiting. The fun and good feelings were short lived after a couple weeks later that Karen, who is Dave's cousin, died. It was very sad. She was in her late thirties and has four children from 18-12 years old.

Nate came home from his mission too. He also looked great. During the same week, Court came home to visit for two weeks before going back to finish his Afghanistan tour. His wife Amanda and his three boys stayed for almost a month with Sarah's parents. It was fun having everyone home. Candice and Bryant even made a surprise visit on the 4th of July. No one knew they were coming. On the morning of the fourth, Candice and Bryant showed up and rang the doorbell. It was a lot of fun having everyone there.

It has been a busy, but fun summer. We are hoping to do a few more fun summer things before fall comes. It won't be long before we have our Halloween parties at Stacy's and Steve's houses.
