Halloween Costume

Miranda: I know...a witch is sooooo original. hee hee. That is the best I could come up with since I spent so much time helping Kerry with his costume. We had a great halloween!

Miranda: Well, here it is... Kerry's departments' theme this year was Ghostbusters. So, Kerry decided to make a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man costume. After LOTS of hours and TONS of white duct tape, he won 1st place for the costume contest out of approx 500 people. Not bad huh! He's walking on 5 gallon buckets and so he towers over everyone. He had lots of fun this year for halloween if you can't tell. And of course we can't forget our super sweet fireman.

Kerry: This picture was after about 7 hours of being in it and walking somewhere around 1.5 miles total. Way fun! Sore muscles? Yes.

Pirate Laws, Arrrrrrr!

Really funny...

I thought this image was funny...

Have you ever had a bully? Or someone that thought they were always right? Share your story of how you overcame that bully.

Here it is!

Okay, I really like the game Guitar Hero but I don't consider myself one of those people who detach themselves from all civilization just so they could be attached to the game 24-7.

I like it and I probably play it realistically 1-2 times every 2 weeks. I'll usually sit down and play a hand full of songs then carry on with my life. Well tonight I dueled a guy on the game called Lou (Lucifer?). Remix of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia".

He's the last dual to win the game. (See, I knew I'd sound shallow telling you this.)

Anyway, on my way to winning the game our neighbors came over to watch a pre-scheduled movie. I was so wrapped up in the game that they (needless to say) ended up standing on our porch for a couple minutes before Miranda finally heard them and opened the door.

And as another fine point I got a cool blister from jamming!
The funniest thing of all was that Miranda didn't think I should post this on my blog for fear of making it look like I was a Guitar Hero Nerd. Well, I think I did pretty well of dodging that bullet....

...huh?

....don't you?

...You what?!?

You're right I'm pathetic. :)

Short funnies

When a woman goes to her closet and says, "I don't have anything to wear," she really means "I don't have anything NEW to wear."
When a man goes to his closet and says, "I don't have anything to wear," what he really means is "I don't have anything CLEAN to wear."

You admit having broken into the dress shop four times?" asked the judge.
"Yes," answered the suspect.
"And what did you steal?"
"A dress, Your Honor," replied the subject.
"One dress?" echoed the judge. "But you admit breaking in four times!"
"Yes, Your Honor," sighed the suspect. "But three times my wife didn't like the color."

Have a great day!

I've been nominated!!

Roses are red, something else is blue and white and black...

This last weekend I had the honor of attending a wedding for an awesome couple, Craig (My Brother) and Whitney. It was extremely beautiful and you could tell that they really love each other and that they are willing to do whatever it takes to be together forever. I wanted to share some fun pictures of their wedding and the joy that they/we all had.

















Yes, yours truly gave the toast. Best you've ever heard. ;)





And they lived happily ever after (Honeymooning in Hawaii...)

Bee Vs. Praying Mantis

So Logan has been watching a praying mantis for the last couple days hang around one of our outdoor driveway lights. When he goes out to ride his bike he checks to see if it's still there. His fascination has grown ever since I caught one for him and put it in his bug holder. It has an attached magnifying glass. When you look through it, it looks like you've got a 500lbs. mantis on your hands, okay 750lbs. for a guy Logan's size.


Come to think of it, it's probably the same one that we caught. Anyway, as I looked I noticed that there was a honey bee buzzing the light. This caught my attention. Now from what I gather in the animal kingdom bees are NOT something to be messed with (believe me, growing up as a grandson to a huge bee keeper it was all fun and games until one shot like a bullet up your pant leg destined to teach you a lesson), but from what I've studied neither are praying mantis' either, probably more so. So I decided I'd hang around to see what was going to happen, I could tell that something was going to happen because of the way the praying mantis' head was locked on target to that bee. As it kept flying around, his head would spin around and watch it without flinching or missing a beat at all. Then all of a sudden Whamo! The Praying Mantis shot out and latched onto the bee mid-flight and started enjoying honey dipped shishkabobs.
(The end, good night kids try to have good dreams...he, he.)
Yummy






I'm just wondering, do you think that to the mantis the bee is like a honey flavored dessert?

Anybody wanna see my new Project?

Let me know what you think. 

The site is temporaryily under construction. I'll let you know when it's back open. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. 

Please keep in mind that I'm just gathering info for now and that it's a work in progress. 

I just love boats and boating so much that I thought it'd be fun to have an informative web site built for Utahns.

 

That picture's hilarious!

I'm alive

I made it! Well the dentist didn't kill me. Actually I'd recommend the Dentistry to others. The dentist and his team has done great so far. They were very courteous to make sure I was comfortable and completely numb (reference to Pink Floyd?). Currently, I have a temporary cap that I'll have for about 2 weeks. It's not bad, or painful and honestly the worst part about the procedure was the initial shot to numb my mouth. (Ironic?) The most I took were a couple ibuprofen right after and that's it. The crown really isn't extremely smooth and because of that I find that I'm rubbing my tongue on it all the time. Practically wearing my tongue out on it because it feels slightly different. Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that I'm alive and my teeth look pretty good. :) I even ate a burrito 3-4 hours after. Yee Haa!

Jessica, yes I think I do grind a bit. (I decided a mouthguard at night would be a good idea.) lol

Today's Entry - (I know it's not original!!)

Sooooooo, I have thought that for the last couple days that my mollar tooth upper left all the way in the back has been sensitive and when I bit down on things it would hurt a bit. So I told Miranda that I probably had a cavity and that I would like to see the Dentist. So far i've been so lucky to just have two. She called and they scheduled me as soon as the dentist's found that I was in pain. (Green light huh?) Anyway, I went right in within 1 hour's notice. The doctor took x-ray's and used a pressure treatment tool that pushes down on the tooth at different angles. Well, come to find out I have a fracture in my tooth and I'm supposed to be dead within 24 hours...(Just checking to see if you were listening) 

Anyway, he wants to do a Crown. I told him I was flattered but I'm really not royalty. So I get to go in to the Dentist's office tomorrow and see what amount of damage I can tolerate to my face...

Can anyone tell that I'm not looking forward to this? Does anybody have any good story about this happening, because if not I'm in trouble...The worst experience of my life happened at the Dentist's chair. If there are enough requests I'll bore you with the details.

Anyway if I don't post anything else ever again on this blog please know that I intended to, and that if I'm missing please check the Dentist's office. :)
