Christmas time is here!!!!!

So we were a little late getting a yule tide brush this year... we went up past the loa dump last saturday and picked out the least scraggly looking trees we could find. We had a good time throwing snow around and drinking warm chocolate!

Found a good site to download music!

I found this cool web site called mp3panda, it offers songs for 5 cents a piece and entire albums for 50 cents. Its legit, and when you register you can refill your balance in order to download songs. Right now they are having a holiday special so when you add $20 bucks to your account, they will automatically double it for free. Me and len tried it out and we've downloaded 500 songs and we still have $20!... we cant think of anything else we want to download though. You just download a download manager ,its not a p2p site just direct downloads and it doesn't download any other garbage on you computer, just the download program. Then you can use your mp3 anywhere, you can burn them to cd or put them into itunes. anyhow, give it a try! It sure beats buying songs for a buck a piece on itunes! I posted a link at the top of the page.

Our weekend Trip!!!!!

on oct.24,2009 we went to nevada by lemans caves and pick pine nuts,its a long drive my goodness.the first day we pick pine nuts for 3 long hours and the second day we pick 4 more long hours.i think the first day it was fun for vince,ammon and me because is not very long but the next day they are not very good they keep shouting me and tell me that they are ready to go home.so i told shaun im done and im not gonna pick up some more so me and the kids stay by the car and wait for dad,mom and shaun to finish picking up pine nuts.so in short story we pick 30lbs and 60z and mom and dad they pick 30lbs and 40z so i think we did good.we had fun!!!!! but i dont know if i wanna go pick up some pine nuts again its a hard work.......

Len's new hair cut

I forgot to post a pic of len in her new haircut. I like it.

Then Ammon was being a kook and pulling his eyebrow trick so I snapped a shot.

It has been really smokey outside as most of you already know, so I tried to get a shot at the sun tonight while I was changing uncle Kay's sprinklers. It looked pretty sweet!

(uh, looks like the order of my pics is backwards sorry)

Happy Birthday Ammon!

So we went up north to visit our filipino "family" last weekend for Ammon's birthday. We stayed at Robert and Luisa's house, they are very nice and always spoil us when we go there. Friday night we had barbeque tri tip beef that was so good... I'd never had it before but holy cow I'm going to have to start cooking it. Then on Saturday we went to Yayeh's house (she's a filipino and her american husband Bob is a nurse) they are so nice and always cook tons of filipino food when we come. One of the other filipina's had this blow-up water slide that the kids played on for hours, then we sang happy birthday opened presents and had cake and ice cream and later that night we sang karaoke for a couple hours. It was just like we were in the Philippines again... and the kids had a blast playing with all the other kids. On Sunday morning I (shaun) went fly-fishing with robert, bob and another of their friends Mitch. We got up at 4:15 am and arrived at the Weber river around 6:30. So Bob is an expert fly fisher and on saturday spent a couple hours teaching me how to cast and everything to get me ready. He let me borrow waders, boots, and his very expensive fishing pole. It was a blast walking around in the river in the waders trying to catch fish (key word trying) everyone caught one but me. After we got home that afternoon we had another party for another of one of our friends named Sally who's husband went on a mission back in 92. By sunday night we were partied out and we finally got home at 12am.

Tyce

Last night we were board so I had tyce come over and take some glamer shots, so Shelby (tyce and lance's friend) put make-up on him and then I just let him pose away! He's pretty much a natural at posing cool so it was real easy to get some good shots. This is my favorite one. If you like this one you should see the rest... they're hillarious!

Big Rocks Trials Meet

So this weekend Cliff invited us to go to the annual big rocks trials meet just south of Loa, so obviously we went... It was sweeeeeeet. Michael and David rode awesome along with a few other guys from out of town. We had a fun time watching the pros hop and jump around effortlessly on the rocks. Kinda reminded me of when I used to be that good.... ha....ha.... Anyway here are some of the pics I took!

Ok, my new favorite article on the internet.... pls read

So for most of my parenting career I've always believed that if you expose a kid to good ol' dirt he or she will develop the necessary immunities that will help keep the kid healthy. I've always believed that if you insist on keeping children away from every unclean thing in this world they will probably get sick alot more... This article comfirms my hypothosis and I would like all viewers of this blog who have kids to please read this outstanding article....

Thank you.

Shaun and Lance are the coolest ice skaters ever.

Last Monday me, Lance, Mom and Dad went ice skating at fish lake. After skating around for a while, me and Lance decided to skate the whole length of the lake. The furthest north we could go was at a spot called Joe's Bush, because there was a crack in the ice and water was flowing from the north. We got out and started at about 12:45, the ice fishers looked at us kinda weird when we started and told them we were going to skate clear to the end. We had a nice northerly wind to push us along, it was nice. At twin creeks there is a fault line that runs the entire width of the lake where the ice has cracked because of expansion, so we had to scout out the best spot to cross the dark abyss. It was a little spooky. A ways past that we found the best ice ever possible. The ice was so smooth we just couldn't resist getting on our knees to feel it's smoothness. It was hands down the best ice you could ever skate on (yes it's like we could ever know that) So after skating around for a few minutes we continued on untill we got to the south end of fishlake. Then we went back to the lakeside parking lot where mom and dad picked us up. Oh, the last 100 yards was a race, and I won (of course). So to make a short story even longer, me and lance are pretty much the coolest iceskaters ever.

The pics are taken from the south end.
