Le Baja

Charlie's senior design project this year is a Baja style off-road vehicle.  He is working on it with nine other guys and they are going to Washington State to compete in May against 100 other schools.  His part on the vehicle was the suspension and steering.  It has been a really fun project and he will probably build his own now that he knows how.
P.S.  They built the thing from the ground up.  It is awesome!

Head hunting for houses

We got a house! Just a ton of paperwork left and we should be moving in by June. It is in Roy. Don't ask why Roy, we don't know either. Charlie is also graduating in May so things are going well. We hope he gets a job up there somewhere, but Salt Lake isn't that far away if he ends up down there too. Erica is still working away to put Charlie through school and she is going to be really relieved when he is done. How exciting!

Robot Wars

In school this semester Charlie is making a robot. It is way sweet. Just look at it. He spends most all his time working on it so he never even updates his blog. Anyone who want to come see it in action should come to the U on design day, April 29th in the morning.

So things have been going well for Charlie and Erica! We went up to Hamilton, Montana for thanksgiving to visit Charlies sister and her family. His brother Jed, his fiancee Aubrey, and his parents were there as well. Then December. Bring it on. We went to a lot of ward and family and friend Christmas parties, did Luminarios on Christmas Eve (visiting relatives grave sites and putting candles on them to remember them), went to Erica's parents for Christmas morning and ended up dead tired by the end of everything. The highlight for Erica was the Nintendo Wii that Santa gave us so now she had something to do while Charlie does homework during school.
We then headed down to St. George the next week for New Years Eve at Charlies brother Zacks and his family. While we were there we watched the Utes smash Alambama in the Sugar Bowl !!! Go UTES!!! School is now back in session and we are back to our good old uniform life.


(p.s. I would get some more pictures up, but the camera cord has gone missing to download them to the computer)

Jededed and Ahhhhhubrey

Just in case you happened to look at this blog before Zack and Alisha's, Jedediah Benson Alvey Sr. asked a girl to marry him. Her name is Aubrey... Alvey. He proposed on November 16th (Erica's birthday) at the Timponogus Temple grounds. Please be nice to them. I told Jeded that now that he's got enraged, he has to start a blog so everyone look forward to that.
