Fort Building 101

So last week I got to spend the weekend with Bella. I had a blast seeing her again. I took the weekend off of work so I could head up to Orem. Krissy dropped Bella off on Friday night at my dad's house, where we stayed all weekend.

One of our funnest* activities was the fort building that we got to do in the living room. As you can see...here's the little goofball sticking her head out the door to the fort.



While inside the fort we decided to take some pictures. Well Pam had this light-up toys that Bella had fun with so we got a little creative with our photos. :) Here they are. Starting with her trucking down a bunch of toys to put in the fort.



Here she is inside the fort:



Here's where we get a little silly with the photos.













One last picture (She's such a poser):



We ended up moving that fort up into her bedroom, so she could sleep the night in it. :) She had a great time building forts. It made me think back to all the Super Forts that Bryan and I used to build in dad's basement back in the day. We were pros at those things.

As for what I've been up to this last week after seeing Bella...My life has been consumed by a video game (shocker I know). This game is called Fable II. It is a game of choices. These choices affect how the world around you changes. I played through once as a "good" character and I am now playing as an "evil" character. It's amazing what happens in the game with all the small decisions. Whole sections of the main town are completely different. In the "good" version...the section where you grow up will become a pretty decent living area with nice houses and nice people. Same place in the "evil" version...is a slum with beggars, call girls, and thieves. The buildings are rundown and everything. They definitely improved on the "decision=consequence" gameplay that they tried to get in the first one (which I was also a major fan of. I recommend this game to anyone who has a xbox 360. I think my brothers would both like it a lot, but neither of them are in possession of said xbox. :( Anyway, I guess I should go to bed now. It IS 1am.

Much love,
Chad

*For those who don't think "funnest" should be a word. LOL!

Myka's Blessing

I know my post is a little later than it should be, but I figured I would post two pics from Myka's blessing day. (For more photos visit Mike and Erin's photo page)

Here is one of Bella and I. She looks so pretty in this picture. I love it. :)



Here is the whole family. It was good to get everyone together again. It has been awhile since that has happened. Myka is a great addition to "The Girls" as they are called. She looked very cute in her blessing dress.



Hope all is well with everyone.
Much Love,
Chad
