A Touch Of Tyrell

 Here are the images Jake came back with this year!

I should probably have Jake write this post (but since it will take him weeks to even read it) I'll do my best to re-cap :) Fact #1 He got to go to Utah THREE times this year and I have asked him to move us there AT LEAST 300 times this year #truestory Fact #2 Guys are so much cooler than girls. In fact, I sent him a text message while he was there that said something to the effect of "I wish I were a guy" Fact #3 Jake and Kevin flew to Utah to meet up with Sean and Adam. They went mountain biking the first day and then drove to the dunes later that day to camp and ride for the remainder of their trip.  Fact #4 I was jealous of the whole trip.  Fun Fact #5 Jake framed that house with all of those windows.  Fun Fact #6 Jake posed for this lovely picture and then immediately fell off :) Fact #7 I still wish I were a guy sometimes. For all of the obvious reasons like: They care less about a lot of stuff They can...

Last Saturday night Jake got back from his annual boys trip.  This year they went to Hood River Oregon and went gliding, to a car museum, camping, golfing, hiking, and even did a little surfing behind the boat... they did it all in about 30 hours  Of course he had a blast and of course I wanted to go... so we're going to go back and do the same things for our anniversary!  An awesome video was made of their trip.... as usual

For the last 3 years Jake has been invited to the dunes with his friends. He looks forward to the trip every year and I look forward to the video afterwards! They went to the dunes in Oregon and rented a house/cabin instead of camping (Jake was headed to Oregon as I was headed home from my race). . Well, here is the video! Jake is the one with the black quad, black/white helmet and gear, the one flying the kite, oh... and yep, the one with his shirt off. And I think there is a swear word in the music so don't get offended because I told you so... AND make sure you watch the very, very end- so funny! Dunes Trip 2011 from ernie lay on Vimeo . Boys Trip 2010 and 2009 (P.S. Ernie, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the videos you make. It totally makes 3 days without Jake worth it!)

Aren't you curious to know what Jake was up to when stinky and I were in Colorado? This is what he was up to..... with his "brothers" He is the one in the solid black shirt, the white shirt with black sleeves, in the raft, and the one in slow motion. His butt still hurts. It might take a minute to load but it's worth it.

As you can see from earlier posts, Jake doesn't have any brothers. There was a family in his ward growing up that had 7 brothers and he hung out at their house a lot, broke their arms, and had a lot of fun. Well, he is somewhat adopted into the brotherhood and was invited on their annual "boys trip" to the dunes. A video was made...you can watch it. He is the one with the orange helmet, orange shirt, and yellow and black pants.
