Vacation Pt3.

Though it might be a good idea to put a couple pics of Cristy and I. Plus the last pic is how we all felt when we finally got home.

Vacation Pt2.

Here we are boating and with cousins. We also went to Silverwood, Id while we were up there. Needless to say, we all had alot of fun.

 

Family Vacation, Spokane Style

We went up to Spokane for a family gathering. It was Cristy's family first ever family reunion. It was a blast. We camped up on the Pend O'Reille river, went boating, hiking, and just plain had fun. We even did the cheesy requisite reunion games; 3 legged race, egg toss, etc. All in all it was a absolute blast. Really makes want to buy a place on a lake or river to get away to. Would be alot of fun!


 

Alex turn's 8!!!

Our big boy turned 8 on July 29. He's gotten so big that I can hardly believe it. He started 2nd grade this year and is doing pretty good so far although the waking up early is his least favorite part of the day. We had a fun party for him and his friends including a slip and slide in th efront. I tried it and I don't seem to slide like I used to.

 

Do NOT take a picture of a cop...

I can't believe this. There have been a couple of arrests recently for people taking pictures of a cop, or a police action. There are sufficient details about this on a variety of sites that I don't feel the need to include the full story but suffuce it to say that the Police are getting a bit uppity. Since when is taking a picture impedeing a investigation. Since when is video from a survelance system considered a violation of wire tap and survelance laws? Blame it all on the kneejerk reaction to 9/11. The terrorist truly suceeded if their intent was to creat panic and fear. The only problem is its the Gubment we should fear!

Utah Le Mans Grand Prix

I was actually doing some of the flagging and communications for the ALMS Grand Prix. It was awesome! I was right on the track and had a killer view of all the action. I spent most of the time on a very technical corner and got to witness some pretty cool driving... a few wrecks too. I've been racing for quite a while but obviously not at this level. Heck, I just think its cool that I was able to participate. Alex loved it too. He wants to get into kart racing. We'll take him out and see what happens. I've included a pic of me and some of my favorite cares. I also got to see, and sit in, a Bugatti Veryon. Only 1.5 mil if you have it!

Day Out With Thomas...Pt2

 

A Day out with Thomas

We had a day out with Thomas on Saturday. We went up to Heber City Historic Railroad and had a blast. The kids loved riding the old train all while being pulled by Thomas. Old kids had fun too although going through the Thomas gift shop could cause your wallet to shrink significantly. Most pics coming.

Soccer Man!

Alex has been doing wonderfully in Soccer this year with me, the Dad, as his coach. My goal was to get all the kids actually playing positions and since they seem to have mastered that, they have since been undefeated. I'm really proud of the kids and Alex in particular. He has been doing great.


 

MaxTurns 3!

We celebrated Max's third birthday today. It was a blast. We had a pinta, some of his kid frinds and a Thomas Cake the Cristy made. Max got covered with frosting, as you would expect, and played. he was out by 7:30 tonight.


 

Two Little Boys

The boys have gotten so big these days. I swear I blink and they grow a foot. Alex will be 8 in July and is already 4ft tall. It never amazes me how big they are. 

Lets Go Camping!!!

Alex and I went camping this last Friday and had a blast. We went a good ways out into the the Desert SW of Salt Lake City. The Butte in the picture actually has ALex standing on the top! Climbed up there by himself. We had a wonderful time together and can't wait till Max is big enough to come along. We took the telescope with us and were able to look at the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. It was fabulous! Cristy had a fun night at home with the chic flicks... Glad she enjoyed it too!
