A Little Catching Up

Here is a picture journal of some of the fun things we've done in the past few weeks......

Gator Baseball......We had to bundle up on this night, it was like 50 degrees outside!! The Mighty Gators took 2 of 3 against LSU over the weekend......sorry Rich :)



Magic Kingdom with Bowen.....

Huge turkey leg....mmmm.......

Dozer Days with the boys.....This was a hoot! Bowen had the time of his life checking out the huge tractors and trucks.....Bryson was just glad to be out of the house.....



Real Florida Alligators......This is a place on the other side of Gainesville called Paines Prairie. There are literally hundreds of alligators in the water and up on the banks. They really don't do much but lay there but they are fun to look at anyway.
Hangin' with Mom & Dad in American Fork at Christmas time.....Hopefully we will be able to move closer soon so we can visit much more frequently.........
Last of all, Shawny B gets attacked by a pack of wild bejan frise puppies......

It's Spring!!!!!!!!

I love spring! We don't necessarily get all four seasons here like most places do but even still, there is a freshness in the air, like everything is being reborn and started back up again.

March Madness is in full swing and the '08 tournament is not disappointing. Even though the Gators won't be three-peating as National Champs (I guess they could still win the NIT?!?) the games have been fun to watch. I had the Stanford Cardinal winning the whole thing...but that dream is now over after getting whooped by Texas last night. Although I am all for the little guy (Davidson), I think the best final four to watch would be UNC, UCLA, Kansas, and Memphis. That's right all #1 seeds, baby.



This morning I made my annual trip to the Gator's practice field while Marie and the boys were at the gym. It was a beautiful day and I had front row seats. It's hard to know just how massive these athletes are until you are right next to them! The play was a little sloppy but I'm sure they will tighten things up before the fall. The Orange & Blue game (which is really just a glorified scrimmage between the offense and defense in the football stadium) is on April 12 @ 1pm EST. And it is now official...the crew from ESPN's College GameDay will be in attendance to kick off their season. With Heisman Trophy winner QB Tim Tebow returning and a slew of talent (albeit young talent) surrounding him, a bunch of returning starters on D, and another great recruiting class, ESPN has the Gators ranked in the Pre-Season top 10.
