This video is so amazingly sweet!

This is the video for the Christian the Lion who reunited with his human parents. I think this video is amazing and I love it. I can't post here for some reason but please do link to it.

Damn the Foxtails!


Okay so our little Clyde has had some problems the past month or so. Joe is always saying were going to sell or put him down. Joking of course! Our little "Anteater" named that because all he does when he is outside is walk aroung with his snout in the ground. He eats anything and everything especially if it moves! Grasshopers are a fav.

So any way he has went to vet twice now and been put asleep to remove something in his mouth. Both of those times were because of foxtails. We have had a hell of a time trying to get rid of these.

Glad to report he is yet again on the road to recovery. If anyone has a cure for these please let us know.


The damn Foxtail or Cheatgrass.

Ok so tonight Joe was outside on the front porch talking to Pammy. And I hear Joe say "Way to go Alan!" So he comes in and tells me to grab the camera and come out here.
So out I go and I see that Alan and Brevick in their driveway riding Brevicks new Power Wheels Corvette. Well some how the whell came off and Alan was putting it back on. Then Brevick said "Lets go Joes" so they came and saw us. And yes Alan was driving, showing the boy the ropes I guess. Brev did just turn 3, so he's still learning.
Anyway we just thought this was too funny.

Lake Mead '07

Ok this is from last year but I was just going through stuff and found this. This is a video David P shot while boating. We had just arived at Lake Mead and the water was way ruf. Really choppy. Any way me and Tera decieded we wanted to tube anyway. You can hear David coaxing Joe to dump us. This video doesn't look as bad as it was. Just after the video shut off we flew off the tube. We went like 10ft into the air. Poor Dave didn't get his shot. We have only went boating once this year so no photos to post. Sorry.

RMR


On the 12th of July we had a race at RMR here in Salt Lake. It was way hot of course being in the middle of July I believe it was like 97. Anyway poor Joe has to wear is 3 layer driving suit plus another layer of long sleeved fire retardant thermals. O so hot plus the inside car temp is like 115 degrees. HOT! But this is his hobby and I love it but o it's hot. Can we say lake here I come.
We did okay all day we were just a little bit off. It was a crash fest. I have no idea what is up with the racers in our series lately but it's gotta stop. We usually never have a crash fest in our series but this year is different.
We made it through the night with no major damage. The only way is by Joe being so experienced other wise we would have been toast for sure. We finished 12th I believe out of 20 cars. Not great but we don't have to replace body panels or the car.
Unfortunately Nathan wrecked his car in practice and we didn't get it repaired in time for the main. And yes he is ok, just a little sore.

Drive In


Well one weekend Tera, I and Miriah went to the drive in movie to see Narnia Prince Caspian. We took Clyde because he wasn't feeling well and I was worried about leaving him alone. Besides since when didn't a night out with popcorn and Pepsi fix everything?
So we took the truck with chairs and the futon mattress and lots of popcorn. It was so relaxing and nice. Even poor Clyde had enough spirit to eat some popcorn with me and lay and watch the movie. Which he was very interested in, I have never seen a dog so interested in a movie.
