Help Mason fight Heart Disease and Stroke!

Most of you know that my youngest Son Mason was born with a congenital heart defect call tetralogy of fallot. He had his first open heart surgery at 6 months old. He has also had two additional open heart surgery to replace his pulmonary valve. He's currently healthy and doing great playing soccer and having a great time as a 7 year old. He is raising money for the American Heart Association. Please click on the link below to see his progress or to donate. Thanks for your support.
Love,
TJ

From Mason:

Dad,
Hi! I’m joining in the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope For Heart event at my school. I will be jumping rope to help the
American Heart Association raise money to fight heart disease and
stroke. Can you help me by making a donation? Thanks!
The American Heart Association's online fundraising website has a
minimum donation amount of $25.00. If you want to donate less,
that's ok. You can just send the check right to me and I'll make
sure the American Heart Association gets it.

Christmas with Michelle in Salt Lake City!

Well as most of you know I spent Christmas in Salt Lake City with the Evan's family. They have a condo in downtown SLC. There is a picture of the Temple lights to show the view from the condo. Michelle made it a wonderful Christmas. I had such a good time we decided to extent our vacation an entire week. I was able to go to dinner with Jessica and Sky while we were out there. We went Snowboarding twice. (Park City, Snowbasin) I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Brandon's Birthday

I was able to go to Denver this year for Brandon's Birthday. We had a great time! Brandon got a Payton Manning Jersey, $100, some video games and a digital camera. What a lucky kid. Here are some pictures we took with his new camera.

A Night Out!

Michelle, Mark, Tracy and I went out to dinner and a movie on Saturday. We had a great time. We ate dinner at one of my favorite restaurants The Cheesecake Factory. We saw Dan in real life and from what I was told by how much I laughed I like it.

Happy Halloween!

I made it to Denver this Halloween to spend some time with Brandon and Mason. I was able to get an early flight out from Phoenix and made it in time to go to their school parties. Brandon was dressed as a Wheaties Box and Mason was a Punk Zombie. We had a great time as usual. We went and saw Game Plan with the Rock. We also were able to play glow in the dark golf with their step dad Chris. After golf we were going to see the Bee movie but Mason felt a little sick so Brandon and I were just able to go. Off and on during the time I was there Brandon and Mason were struggling with a cold. Luckily I did not get it :) I'm not sure if you can tell but Mason lost one of his front teeth. As you can see Michelle didn't make the trip but if you see her blog you can tell she had fun without me.

California knows how to party!

My Trip to Cali!

Well Michelle and I decided to go to California last weekend and visit with her parents. We also took Nick and Jen along for the ride. It was a great trip! Except.........Friday night we were headed up to Newhall from Beverly Hills and 15 minutes before we were getting off the highway there was a major accident involving 15 big rigs which exploded in a tunnel under the freeway. Worried about structural damage to the over pass our great CHP decided to shut down the freeways. This was the where the 405 meets the 5 and merges into the 14. We spent the next 4 hours sitting in traffic before finally making it to Michelle's parent’s home at 4am in the morning. We did manage to go back out the next day to Santa Monica's Pier and the Griffith’s Observatory. What really made the trip was the scooters and of course Michelle's Dad let me take out the Harley. Don't anyone stare at my Ed Hardy high tops.....I know you're jealous.
