HAPPY NOVEMBER

I have no idea what I am doing being a blogger...I am just so silly at it. I don't know what to do or what to say...but I have to say something right?

What has been going on you ask? Well, it's been busy. We have been just doing the everyday stuff. The weather has been cold, hot, cold, hot...so I think I am just trying not to get sick over and over. It was really cold in the middle of October, but by the week of Halloween it turned really nice. We had a nice truck or treat at the church, but missed all the neighbor kids. Half of us dressed up, Jen put on the green make up again for her wicked witchness and Zack was Batman. He loves that costume. I was able to get out of the house this morning because I found that mask, put it on him and sent him upstairs to play the wii.

I am really looking forward to this weekend. Jen and I achieved 13 years of complete bliss this week and are heading to San Diego this weekend. He have been totally SD deprived for the past couple years and are really excited to head back for a couple days of fun and relaxation.....that's right...no Zack waking us at 6am wondering where is chocolate milk is or to get some help on the wii playing SuperMario 3. It shall be great.... The iteniary is still a surprise, so will give the details on my next post....

END OF MY BIRITHDAY WEEK

It is now the end of the week that I refer to as my birthday week. We have just finished the cake and the party is over. I had a great week though. Starting last weekend I was able to get up to Nephi and visit my brother, Tom, and his family. The reason for the visit was a surprise from Tom about my new car. A silver 2001 Volvo S40. It has been a great car so far, a couple little issues, but my brother Ian will take it next week to get the kinks out. Looking forward to that!

Jen and I bothe took the my birth day off and ran down to Anahiem for a quick trip to Disneyland. I got in free, and so we thought we would go. We had a great time. We went on Indiana Jones, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Thunder Moutain, had a quick bite (shared a roast beef sandwich and some fries), Materhorn, Space Mountain and Buzz. It was a great time. We finished the night with a trip to my favorite restaurant, joined by the in-laws. We then went over there and picked up the cake. We were too full to have more than a couple bites of ice cream, so the cake was sent home with us. I was able to drive most of the way home that time. I probably would have been able to make it all the way if I wasn't stopped by the best CHP ever. He doesn't give tickets on your birthday, so I just have a fix it ticket!! Awesome!!

The next day, back at work, my desk was covered by a metallic rainbow of decoration. It was a little much but the peeps at the office made me feel ever so special. I was taken out on Monday and Wednesday by two groups of co-workers. It is nice to be a co-worker again. Being the boss sucks.

I was able to get caught up with most of the work thank goodness, but I am still a little bit out of it when talking about school. Thats why it took so long to get back to the blog. Anyway, had a nice time yesterday going to the movies and then picking up my iPhone. We spent the rest of the night with a friend that was also celebrating birthday week!!

THE CHEATER

Well, I feel like I am cheating on my blog with.....Facebook!!! I just started to FB and feel bad because it has been months since my last post. I feel horrible. I also need to get taking more pictures more often.

So it has been months....well all of summer actually. I can't believe how crazy it's been. It was supposed to slow down at work, but not. I was booked all summer with appointments right after another. It was good to be busy, but yikes. Not that it takes all that time to put up a blog. I mean really. As I review the calendar, there isn't anything that really stands out, just a lot of little things. A lot of hours, a lot of traveling, school, a ward swimming party, teaching, jen to girls' camp, harry potter, meetings with the attorneys, country line dancing, trip to idaho...you know what I mean...

Anyway...I am going to try and spend equal amount of time with FB and the blog...I promise....

thanks for listen...or whatever you call it...

SANDY HALLOW

Thanks to Uncle Tom, we had the great opportunity to go ride the new razor, which he tells me is the coolest. I am not in on the new and exicting of the 'dune' world, but it was quite a load of fun. He was there a couple weeks ago and we met him for the evening. Thanks to Diven and Merry I had something to drive while Jen and Brenden were kicking up the dirt of the Hurricane desert. I probably should know what I was driving, but it was automatic, red, pretty bulky, fast enough and a great ride.

We probably should have went earlier so we could leave before the sun went down, because the 2WD on my car was not sufficient for me to feel confident enough to get to the paved road near by. I was unable to leave the same way I came in, drove through someone else's camp and had to hit it a couple times while driving through some lose sand. But I made it to the road without anyone needing to come pull me out of the sand.

Thanks again to the Beitzel's and the Douglas' (grand rock version) for a great two hours at the Dunes on a Thursday night. Well worth the drive, and willing to do it again. (Hope you felt the same, so we will get the next invite :)).

EASTER FUN!!

We got to spend the day with Grandee...although she had to be at the hospital with Nana most of our visit. On Saturday night, we colored eggs and Zack had some fun putting stickers on. I was amazed at the level of color that are available for eggs now a days. It is amazing to see the bright eggs. Brenden was the main colorist of the eggs, and as you can see, Zack did the stickers. He had a great time and really didn't have a problem crackin' 'em open and having him some hard boiled egg. We were yelling at Brenden the other day when he was offering Zack just the yoke, but that boy just put 'em down. We were suprised that Zack didn't complain, but I guess it was because his mouth was filled with yoke :). But we went back for seconds...that kid can eat.

SUMMER IS HERE!!

Come one, come all!! It is now time to swim in Vegas. Please make your way over and get your dippin' on! No one knows how long the pool might be available, so you better come quick! If you don't know why I say that, let me give you the 411. We are looking for an investor to buy our house (with the pool) so that we can rent it back and stay there. We currently have it on the market, but hoping it will wait for our angel of mercy. Now we are good to go whereever we need to be, but it sure would be nice to stay. Anyway, so spread the word. If we get someone to let us stay, you will have more time to enjoy the water :).
