James William Bramble

This picture was taken in London in 1961 by Ray Bramble. It is the house and street where my great grandfather, James William Bramble, was born.

Halloween Party

Every year my mom hosts a Halloween party for the kids but this year my sister Jessica held is Saturday afternoon at her beautiful new house. Tyler was a transformer, Kayla was a cat and Andrew wouldn't dress up (he takes after his dad). Kayla and Tyler each entered a jack-0-lantern into the pumpkin carving contest and won prizes. Tyler made what he called a "robot-o-lantern" and Kayla a "cat-o-lantern".

Kayla Soccer

Kayla is back in soccer. She plays a game every Saturday morning. Here is an action shot.

Beautiful Family

The family at Chelsea's wedding. I am missing as I was at convention. I made the wedding ceremony but could not stay for the reception.

Kayla

Kayla lost her first baby tooth last night. She was a little freaked out about it but was excited to know the tooth fairy would be coming.

Kayla's Birthday Party

Kayla invited her grandparents to dinner for her birthday.

Happy Birthday Kayla

Happy Birthday to my sweet, smart, talented, beautiful Kayla. I remember several years ago we thought we were likely done having children and Jana knew there was another one she was supposed to have. I am so very glad she was so in tune because otherwise we would not have Kayla who brings so much happiness to our lives. I love you Kayla.

Kayla's Chinese Immersion Program Presentation

We went to see Kayla's Chinese class perform their presentation this morning. I can't believe how these little minds learn to speak another language so freaking quick. They are so smart. Here are some pitcures of Kayla, one of her two teachers and her friends Abbi Oldroyd and Julia Booth.

Lindsey

Congratulations to my sister Lindsey. She has been accepted to the SJ Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah. It will be fun to have a fellow lawyer as a sibling. Lindsey is one of the smartest and hardest working people I know. She was on the wait list for the U and just found out she got in. Congratulations!!!

Happy Birthday Andrew

Happy 15th birthday to my awesome son Andrew today. I can't believe I will soon have a son in high school. Andrew is the ideal son and we are very lucky to have him as part of our family. Below are some pictures of him over the years. It is quite a feat that I found so many because he runs and ducks at the sight of a camera. I love you Andrew. I hope you have a perfect day for your birthday.

Kayla and Tyler

On Saturday Tyler and I went to Farmington to my sister Lindsey's house for my nephew Nicholas' birthday party. All the boy cousins were invited. My mom took the great picture of Tyler below. He is such an awesome kid. Then later that night Jana and Kayla went out to Stansbury Park to my sister Jessica's house for a wedding shower for my niece Chelsea. At that party my mom took the black and white picture of Kayla below. She is such a beautiful sweet girl and I am a lucky dad.

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary this week to my beautiful wife Jana. It seems like yesterday we were married but it was 18 years ago that we were married and went to Ensenada for our honeymoon. Thanks for sticking with me all this time (which is certainly not easy I know) and for giving me the best family ever. I love you still today.

Genealogy

My brother Jason recently discovered that we are related to James Dean, Grace Kelly and Lyndon B. Johnson. I guess with 6 degrees of separation we are all related, right? You can see it better if you click on the image.

Kayla

Every once-in-a-while I will not be able to find my phone. When I find it later, there is always a picture like this on it. Kayla takes the phone and takes pictures of herself. Funny.
