Working out with Lily

I start off working out like an animal and end up cuddling my angel baby so she will stop being grumpy and just take a nap.

I just love the holidays. Spending time with family is the best! Merry Christmas this week everyone.

Lily is now rolling over. When she's in the mood for it.

Lily's second roll over. Caught on video for all to see.

Hey everyone, check out this YouTube page with one of my final projects. It's about leadership: http://goo.gl/C2Cae

Why do I consider it a success when Lily goes to sleep before 3AM? I'm convinced she's really a cyborg.

You know what I think is stupid? Charity parties. Are people really so vain that they have to waste money on a party just to give money to others? If you want to have a party, just throw a party. Don't pretend it's for the sake of the charity.

Today's National Opt-Out Day folks. Show the TSA you won't put up with their insanity: http://www.optoutday.com/

Dear TSA, You are a complete waste of money and time with your "security theater." And I notice you continue to disregard the fact that every security expert says the same things about you and you just ignore them. Way to go. I love it when people pretend to be doing something productive and there are actually no results from their actions. Is there no end to your frivolity and waste and corruption?

When Lily smiles or grins or giggles, my heart just melts.

Lily with a fading smile.

If anyone wants to write my brother Blake while he's working in Washington for the next 2 years as a full-time missionary, here's his address: Elder Blake Redfearn Washington Kennewick Mission 8656 W Gage Blvd. Ste. 205 Kennewick, WA 99336

We couldn't wait any longer! The Christmas lights are officially up! Just ignore the window corner that is sagging right now. :)

2010 Christmas lights on the house.

Lily is so much fun I can't even stand it!

Lily out for a walk.

Well I think winter is really here. I like it, but I always forget how dang cold it gets in Utah!

Congrats to my cousin Brittany Brooks who has been called to serve in the Brazil Parana Londrina Mission. She leaves in March.

Well Californians, u really ruined r future with ur crappy voting yesterday. I'm about 2 give up on ur ability 2 make good choices.

I'm just going to say it, Lily is just too cute for her own good!

Lily in a new dress.

Nothing like a good old fashioned Sunday nap with her dad to make Lily happy.

Lily and dad napping together.

I went to sleep with two shirts on last night and woke up with only one still on. How did that even happen? I don't remember anything....

Lily has seriously slept all day for the first time ever. But that probably means she's going to be up all night long now. Dang her cuteness!

Just dropped Blake off at the MTC.

Elder Redfearn @ the MTC

I just dropped Blake off at the MTC. It was short and sweet but I have to admit that I'm actually a little envious if him. Work hard Elder!

I can't stop kissing Lily on the cheeks and telling her how much I love her. She's just so darn cute!

I can't believe Lily is two weeks old, but all that means is I have to stop playing around and get back to work now. :( And with the same amount of sleep for the foreseeable future.

I've now got a new Samsung Fascinate and it is freaking awesome! And not to mention that General Conference is better every year!

Lily & Val

Here's our little Lily Nicole Redfearn with mommy, taking a little nap with her bow in her hair, around 3AM this morning.

Lily & Brady

Here's our little Lily Nicole Redfearn with daddy, taking a little nap with her bow in her hair, around 3AM this morning.

It's official ladies and gentlemen! Lily Nicole Redfearn, 9 lbs, 1 oz., 20.5". Val did an amazing job and Lily is beautiful! Pics 2 come.

Epideral in, water broken, but not halfway there yet. Hats off to you ladies, I don't know how you do this whole "having a baby" thing.

We're at the hospital now and Val is being induced. Looks like Lily will be arriving soon!

If you don't already have car insurance through USAA, then you better try to get it. It will save you a bajillion dollars a second; seriously. https://www.usaa.com/inet/ent_utils/McStaticPages?key=sweepstakes_auto_2010_main&bpjs=false

Windows Phone 7

Got to play with a Windows Phone 7 last night at a Microsoft meeting. It looks REALLY good!

For those of you who haven't been to Temple Square in the last few months or would like to see inside the temple: http://bit.ly/cOMB7Q

Congrats to my brother Kyle and his new bride Alyssa! Now with the weekend weddings down, let's hope that Lily decides to come see us soon!

So now that it's official, hats off to Joe & Holly for getting married today! It was a beautiful ceremony at www.redbuttegarden.org/

I think Dave has the same level of man crush on Chris Harrison as I do. LOL.

I need some help on which rims to choose: http://bit.ly/ar34Va

School is off to a great start. I'm really enjoying graduate school and can't wait to meet our new baby (whenever she decides to come out)!

If you plan to donate, use the following address for Clay Sannar's family: The Sannar Family Trust Fund, PO Box 3328, Visalia, CA 93278

For those of you who would like to help Clay Sannar, here is a way to donate to his widow and boys: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/12975

We just got the sad news that my cousin Clay Sannar was shot & killed today at church. We'll miss you, Bishop. http://bit.ly/ckbAtO

My brother Blake just got called to the Washington Kennewick Mission! He leaves Oct. 27. I'd totally go again if I could. :-)

Been awake for 36 hrs & a lot has happened. Val is basically bedridden until Lily is born, Chloe was just born, & my web page still sucks!

I hate that during Education Week all of the teacher lots are enforced, but none of the student lots are. Talk about second class citizens!!

It's been 2 years since I built a web page. And it shows...

Just got back from a half-week in Baltimore, MD, followed by a week in Carpinteria, CA. Now I have to come back to reality.

Doctor/hospital were supposed 2 reimburse us over $600 2 months ago. After an hr. of complaining, I think they've got it 2gether now. ARGH!

It's so hot outside right now it's like looking through a shimmering jet engine.

Here it is ladies and gentlemen! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4651250&l=837a75b4a9&id=500882913

Graduation Announcement

We've finally graduated from Brigham Young University this year! If you'd like a physical copy of this mailed to you, let us know.

I've been sent this link a few times today, but I haven't watched it until just now. You will love this, I promise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ArIj236UHs

I've had daily headaches now for the last week or so. I'm not sure why, but I think it's Couvade Syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couvade_syndrome

I just finished giving blood. If you haven't done it in the last 8 weeks, go today! They always need it and it's nice to save people's lives. :-)

Spent all day with Rama Myers from http://www.seeingmachines.com/ VERY cool stuff and we've got another day of it tomorrow!

I REALLY want to build a straw bale house. Something like this one, built in Santa Barbara in 2008: http://www.buildinggreentv.com/files/u2/ext500.jpg

The place: Costco Gas; The car: In park for 5 mins; The victim: Our Pathfinder; The culprit: An asian girl without license plates who couldn't speak English; The result: we got rear-ended.

I lost our camera over 2 weeks ago, but I finally found it today! Yay! I missed it a lot.

What a tremendous blessing: http://www.jkcf.org/news-knowledge/press-releases/jack-kent-cooke-foundation-announces-2010-graduate-scholarship-recipients/

Just got home from a week camping at Bullard's Bar. I love the outdoors and visiting family, but hate driving to/from Cali. It always makes me sick.

Val officially finished her degree yesterday. I'm so proud of her.

It's 2 weeks late, but congratulations to Roz Savage, the first woman to row across the Pacific Ocean ALONE! http://rozsavage.com/

Happy Flag Day! Don't forget to remember how wonderful it is to live in the United States of America! (if you don't, be jealous)

After 5 days of NO Internet, I am VERY grateful to have it back. Once you have 15 Mbps down & 5 Mbps up, there's no turning back.

Well, you really messed up on Prop. 14 California. Welcome to moderate-politician-ville.

If you haven't voted today, please make sure you DON'T vote for Orly Taitz. Seriously people, she's straight-up insane. I wouldn't trust her with a weed.

OK Californians. Don't forget to vote Tuesday. Especially if you're voting absentee like me. It has to be in by 8PM on Tuesday.

Happy Anniversary Wifey! I can't believe it's been 3 wonderful years already. I love you. ;-)

I don't know about other counties' primaries this year, but mine is ridiculous! 60+ candidates in a single ballot! And 7 offices are completely unopposed!

What the heck is going on outside!? It's almost June and its been snowing ALL morning!

We went to Mario & JoNeal's wedding today. I can't believe Mario's married!

Just gave a 2 hr. presentation to ParentLink by myself. That was exhausting!!! But I think it went okay. I guess you would have to ask them.

Diploma

I finally get to see what my diploma looks like! It won't arrive for another week, but at least I know it's real. Yay!

lucyphone.com - Seriously the best new web service I have seen this year. No more waiting on hold listening to that annoying music!

I wonder if it's finally going to stay warm here now.... The cold & rainy weather is really ruining my cruising plans. ...seriously ruining it.

We just found out that we're expecting a girl!

i'm using a 52" Samsung touch screen TV right now. This thing is huge and so dang cool!

Just got back from a weekend in St. George. I like going other places. But now I must go back to work. Alas....

Happy Earth Day everyone! Don't forget to recycle and take care of our Mother Earth.

I just turned in my last undergrad assignment. I am now officially graduated! Huzzah! 4 months until grad school starts.

Don't drive to Cali for 24 hrs and then come back the next day. It really messes with you. But the baptism was worth it anyway.

Just had a great Senior Capstone Project presentation. We got lots of compliments and people liked it. Now I can finally sleep this week.

I just got a call and got the Graduate Scholarship from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation! Yessssssssssssss!!! Thanks Uncle Jack. ;-)

Question world: Is it worth buying a lighter aluminum floor jack or should I just stick with heavy & stronger steel?

Happy Easter everyone! It's snowing right now, but hopefully I can enjoy some spring-like weather again sometime soon.

General Conference just started today and I'm loving it!

T-minus one week and counting until Capstone presentations. Better start praying now, since we got creamed last semester....

Anyone bored? Help me with another quick HCI survey: https://byu.qualtrics.com/SE?SID=SV_82Oria7UclodIaw&SVID=Prod

I love Spring. And when I say "love," I mean it. I could just sit on the porch all day today. In fact, I think I will do my homework outside today. :-)

It is so gorgeous outside today! Why don't I have a motorcycle or a convertible?

Dear BYU, Please stop forgetting how to play once you're ahead and then finally winning the game after double overtime. Love, Brady

Happy St. Patty's day! And what do you think about a '71 Pontiac Firebird? I'm going to look at one today, methinks.

Consider yourself notified: Val is 12 weeks pregnant now.

For the sake of humanity, you have to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyGJXLxtVEo

I GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL AT BYU! YES! Seriously, I'm so freakin' excited right now!

I really want a project car. I've been dreaming about nothing but cars for weeks now and its just getting worse. I'm officially taking donations now.

The rumors are true. I'm 26 today. Thanks to everyone who's extended a message of courtesy on this, the day of my birth.

Almost time to start our web hosting seminar! Come to 240 CTB if you're on campus still!
