The Swimming Days are done...
The boys (Lincoln and Truman) had a great time this summer with their swimming lessons. They loved jumping off the diving board. Lincoln's favorite stroke is the doggy paddle although he sometimes goes backwards. Truman's specialty is the 'put my head under and don't come up until I have reached my destination' stroke.
A few weeks ago the State of Utah put a ban on children under 5 swimming in public swimming pools, due to some waterborne virus, so sadly our fun has been cut short. We can still swim with the dead fish in Lake Powell, but please get away from that filtered and chlorinated water.
Jefferson "swims" with these floaties on. He is easily the cutest kid at the pool. We had a contest to determine a winner and awarded him a ribbon and everything. 
Other things...
Brian and Me At Wicked! It was fantastic.
Lincoln thought it was funny to put this on Jefferson's head.
She Arrived Safe and Sound
Here are the first pictures. We had a video but the file didn't work out too well so we will have to get another one.
She was born at 1:30am on Friday September the 14th and was 7 lbs. 5 oz.
Her Name is....

Final Post From China
We sure have had a lot of fun here. Yesterday we went to the Chinese Silk Factory and saw how they got silk from a silk worm. Maegan convinced me to buy a pure silk Duvet Cover and Duvet. You all can come over and lay on it when we get home.
Speaking of Home, we are getting on a plane tonight at 4:55 pm here in China from ShangHai to Beijing and then from Beijing to LAX. We then go from LA to SLC and should be home around 11:40pm thursday night. We basically travel for 16 hours and get home 6 hours later.
We have had enough vacationing for now and are looking forward to geting back and playing with our boys. We hope they have had fun and created some memories of thier own. Below are a few more pictures that we have not upoaded yet. We have about 1000 more than this so if you ever want to be bored to eath with stories of China we can talk your ear off. See you soon.
Maegan Got Her Hair cut. We like it and it only costs $3.
Here we are at the largest Dam Dam in the World. It is blocking the Yantze River (the 3rd largest river in the world) and will provide 15% of the power that China uses on an annual basis. Crazy Big.
They have the funnies signs in China. "No Turning Over"? They try and translate stuff into English and get it wrong often.
Another Cruise Shot...
Man, we are tired.
We are here in Shanghai now after our cruise. Below are a few videos of them. We hope you all are having as much fun and making as much memories as we are.
See you in just a few days.
Wild Monkeys
So, on our cruise we saw some pretty spectacular stuff. Not the least of which was some wild Monkeys:
