This is what it looks like getting caught red handed taking pictures of your wife while she isn't looking and 1) she doesn't want you to, and 2) she doesn't want you to. #busted #adayinmyshoes

Almost like being at church. #mormonnight @angels #summer

My Saturday plans! This is the FIRST TIME while we have been married that @ellabledsoe doesn't have statistics homework!! Even on the freaking honeymoon it was buttloads of statistics homework. Needless to say she is a happy camper. #adayinmyshoes #sunsaturdays #summer #danakai also let us in early! (at Dana Kai)

Happy Father's Day, dad! There is a lot to say, but I'll keep it simple. You are the #smartest, most #charitable, #thoughtful, hard working, and decent man that I know. I'm #proud to have you as a father and I cherish the friendship that we have. Your continual thirst for #knowledge and improvement have always inspired me. Your dedication and determination through struggles and adversity have always been an #example of strength and motivation. I wish you the best of luck your last 6 weeks in Law School, I know you'll do great! Back in 2003, you invited me to come work with you and move from Central California to San Clemente. I was slowly but steadily brought back into the church and my life has been #eternally #blessed ever since. I owe everything to you and your example, and hope for many years more to show my gratitude. I love you, Dad! #happyfathersday #dad #livecleansurfhard @amileel81 @teribickley @jessiethaakid (at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)

What a beautiful day for America's favorite pastime!! #AtTheBigA #GoHalos #ilovemywife #adayinmyshoes @angels @ellabellaxoxo11 (at Angel's Stadium - Section 341 )

In the last week I have finished some of the most amazing stories of amazing men of their time. Its hard to believe the tales of courage and determination from people with humble roots facing overwhelming obstacles. The Boys in the Boat: the 1936 Olympic gold medal team from Washington University. The Luckiest Man: the life of Lou Gehrig, his amazing baseball career and fight with ALS. and Fighter Pilot: Memoirs of Robin Olds, a WWII Ace and Vietnam vet. About 2 years ago I set a goal to finish about 1 book a week (thank you Audible.com) and in about 100+ in so far. I highly recommend these three, you will not be disappointed. #adayinmyshoes #thirstforknowledge

I'm ready to go back! #honeymoon 😘 @ellabellaxoxo11 #puntacana #livecleansurfhard

Last night was a very special night. @ellabellaxoxo11 #ldstemple #newportbeachtemple #covenants #blessings #eternity this might be a little personal, but my future wife is the most amazing women I have ever met. She has done nothing but be a loving and encouraging example of when it means to be selfless and charitable. She is always putting other before herself and always looks to improve her life and grow in her understanding of eternal truths. Ella, you have blessed my life in more ways that you can ever understand. I love you.

#HappyBirthday Momma Bear! "You know... You're not that old... For a tree!! " 😜😜!! It's hard to express the love that someone has for their mother, so I won't try, but needless to say I'm glad I get to call her mom. I'm thankful for the lessons that she taught me while I was young, and the great friendship that we enjoy as I have grown up. Im very lucky that not many days go by that we don't talk on the phone or share a funny text. #tbt to the week I graduated from college and the whole fam came to visit, this by far my favorite picture we captured ❤️👍 I love you mom!!!!
