Dogs Gots Places To Go Too

I came across this story today about dogs in the subways of Moscow. Smart Little guys aren't they? ;)

CALLED TO SERVE (FOR CARREN)

I adore Janna Banna! She has one of the strongest testimonies and is such an example to me. I couldn't be happier for her than I am right now.

Anyway, the big reveal! You can deal with the length of the video. I didn't edit it so big sis' could feel like she was there. ;)

Pat's BBQ in SLC!

There's a great little BBQ joint up in SLC punk called PAT'S B.B.Q. Kendall had been wanting to go there for the longest time so finally one day he just made the trip up and we met for lunch.

I've never been to the south, but this was a sampling of what I imaging the the South feels like.

Great live guitar and harmonica music from a man with a very cool raspy voice


Cute old men up in the corner of the joint just enjoying the scenery like he's been going there for 50 years
Oh and the food.... oh the food.
I was full for a week!

My Sis' is Bad A!

My sis made a commitment to herself to be crazy this year and do a couple Triathalons and a half marathon. Along with her other 5K's that she does. ;) She competed in the Woman of Steel Tri in May in American Fork to start the year off right!

She was all smiles with nerves of steel
Go 182!

This is one of my fav pics. Jess lookin like she's walking on water :)

I love the Moon in the background of Jess' 2 biggest fans, her boy Dylan and Grandpa Smith

Jess said she really like this Tri as her first because it's in a pool rather than a lake or pond so it's not quite as intimidating!

Dylan showing me how his Mom does the back stroke

Her second lap and she's even smiling!
It was nice that she had a blue helmet and red shirt. She wasn't too hard to spot. It also helped that Aaron was timing about the time that she should be riding past us. :)

It's a race to the finish and Aaron is getting it all documented like a true photographer!

It's a close call, but I think Jess won! ;)

And of course she's still smiling!

The Happy Family :)

My Nephew Ian is like, Totally Cool!

And he had a cool new deck to go along with said coolness.

We were in Salem yesterday

Here's our proof:

Test no. A

Snow in Spokane, Sunny in Seattle

Yesterday I was in Spokane where it was cold cold cold and snowy...

Today I woke up to sunside in Seattle!

Don't mind Tenaya eating Space Needle. It's just... something... she... does... nevermind.

To celebrate the Sunshine I bought new Kicks :)

(...don't tell Kendall I bought more shoes) o_O

Love You Scottie

Tonight I love the dog that became a part of my family 16 years ago and, even though he is now gone, will stay in my heart for ever.

I love you Scottie.

I Almost Died Yesterday (review)

Imagine being in a tree... losing your grip... and falling... backwards. Good thing I knew there was a giant limb there so I didn't die. Bad thing that there was another giant limb by my leg that tried to amputate me and leave me legless from the knee down!

This is a picture story of how I almost died yesterday. For the in depth story click here.

Just Millie (the dog) and Me climbing a tree to rescue her toy

I know it doesn't look that high cause you can't see the ground but I'm higher than the fence and only half way up to where i was going!

Careful Millie! Don't look down!

I just fell backwards in a tree and cut up my leg. At least I didn't DIE!
Next is to dodge that power line and get the rope.

Minor Flesh wounds... should I go to the hospital? Na, I've got two roomies to help... oh wait, one of them just fainted.

My nurses station

Not the prettiest, but I'm all bandaged up and ready to climb more trees!

SIDENOTE: I did get the toy rope from the tree after almost dieing and dodging a few power lines!

Calling All Cans for a Great Cause!!!

You say you hate throwing your cans away without recycling them, or you just don't know where to go? It pains you to see all those little coke can mouths staring at you from the trash can at work? Well, problem solved! Give them to ME!!! :)
Kendall's dad had a great idea to collect soda cans and at the end of the year recycle them at a place that gives you money per pound and put all the money from them into a missionary/college fund for their one and only grandchild! I know, great idea right?! Soooo I'm calling for all of your soda/aluminum cans to donate to the great cause. C'mon don't be shy. I won't make fun of how much soda you drink by how many cans you contribute. At least not to your face.
I announced that I'm collecting at work and in 2 weeks time I have a full laundry basket of 'em. Yes they are in a laundry basket... don't ask why.
Announce it at work, to your friends, and your family and let me know when I can stop by to pick up your cans/aluminum!!!

We're not in Utah anymore.

We're in Iowa!

Friends, Family, and Tornado Shelters.

Uno... Attack!

I would just like to announce that K and I just got done playing an hour and a half marathon of Uno Attack. I won the first and the last game. And really those are the only two that matter. Everything in between is just mush so.... thanks for playing K, but next time BRING YOUR "A" GAME!

Love you, K ;)
