Taylor and Mom

A long night!

We all went to Taylor's school Trunk or Treat Friday night! It was fun... I got to run the Obstacle course for two hours. Sandi dressed and put make up on an ever excited Tay. We allowed her a little bit more freedom tonight. She and her friends went out on school property were the cars and fun things to do were. Tay won some delicious cup cakes at the Cake walk... We all left tired... Me especially. Try lifting a few hundred kids over a blown up obstacle course that is six feet high and they are all wearing socks. Ugh!

BYU 59 UNLV 21

Brigham Young University Quarterback Max "Mad Max" Hall took time out of his post game interviews to except hugs, congradulations and smiles from hoards of family members who attended the game. It was great to meet Max's lovely wife, and better yet for me to have a mini-family reunion where no one had died.. Left to Right- Max Hall, Mom, Sandi (my lovely wife) and thats me lurking in the back there!

Jordan Bonet's Birthday Party

Taylor prepares to toss a few bowling balls at Jordan's birthday party Saturday night!

Taylor and Everyone esle were able to sign Jordan's Gift Bowling ball after the party ended.

Not a bad night for the old guy.. three games 130. 170, 172.. Wii Bowling is paying off I guess.

Sandi played three games as well. She usually beats me but was having an off night!

Taylor, although under the weather for two days, was able to knock down a pin or two...

Shane (holding ball) discusses tactical moves before the toss at Jordan's Birthday party.

We all went to Jordan's birthday party last night, it was fun.. Taylor was a little under the weather. She still had a great time.. It was at the Strike Zone.. Sandi and I bowled three games. Looks like the Wii bowling has paid off.. There was a good turnout.. Everyone had a good time.
Pizza and cake was eaten by all.. A fun time.. Good to see everyone together...

"Girls night out"

Last Saturday, the girls, got together and went out to the Museum of Natural History, a show at Harrah's called the Mac King show that they all loved and then to a Birthday party that night. I was under the weather and got caught up with a few things and then to the NASCAR races..

Poor Taylor and her friends were just plain worn out...

Fun was had by all.. It was a nice break!

New Yard sign

I thought this would be much more effective than my ADT security sign.. Guess we will see.

Labor Day Weekend

Saturday, my Brother-in-law headed over to the Gun Show at Cashman field for several hours, it was much more organized than some of the other ones. We managed to load up another luggage carrier full of ammo in less than 15 minutes instead of the usual 3 hour wait. I picked up an nice new holster and like it a lot. We watched the BYU v. Oklahoma football team play Saturday night. Apparently the Sooner team we heard about all week never showed up.. Congrats, to my alumni... Go Cougars!

Saturday night I finished up "Culture of Corruption" the new Michelle Malkin Book, I didn't sleep well Saturday night... This country is in big trouble.

Sunday morning I got up early and headed out to the BLM land with my Bro-in-Law for some practice. five hours later we finished up and headed out. We took out everything we had, a proverbial truck load. After 4 hours and 300 rounds later, Steven lost his $145.00 Laser for his pistol and we searched for two hours looking for it. I missed church but caught up on well needed rest.

Coming home I was pleased to see that I-15 has opened up two more lanes in both directions. I began watching the conversion and upgrade in 1988 while on leave from the Marine Corps. It's obviously a Govt project as it still has another 10 years to go.

Saturday night, I suggested to the wife we go to Appleby's for dinner. We had the BBQ ribs and headed back home for the evening... Everyone was pooped. We watched (again) the Music Man DVD. Taylor is taking piano lessons now and is doing well. They finished planting the flowers in the front yard today.

Friday night we went to Mom's to give her the new School shirts we bought during her open house. I joined the PTA this years instead of just going and helping I thought I might have some input this year. Taylor has a great teacher and principal.

Labor Day was different this year. Sandi opened and worked at the restaurant all day, but got off early due to back pains... probably due to going out twice this past week and hitting golf balls.

We have decided to go and get back into the game now that fall is upon us. It's been way too hot and I'm getting too old for the heat, although age is good for the golf game, I think!

Sunday night were cooking burgers on the grill.... R&R then back at it again tomorrow!

"DISNEYLAND"

Well, it turned out not going to the Condo in Vail, Co. wasn't all that big of a deal this year. Since we did get in several fishing trips in So. Utah at the property this year, Disneyland was on the Agenda. It's not the same in Vail with out my Father-in-Law who passed away a few years ago. Fishing is always good but never the same. I lucked out in the Mother-in-Law department. They don't come any better than the one I have... She's the best. I wish she could have come with is this year as she spent the week before we left visiting with us up here. I felt bad not attending Mass with her as I usually do. Next time.

We headed down to Disneyland Friday evening and I had to use GPS instruments (IFR) the entire way due to the fog and traffic, got checked into the hotel, and decided to get started right away. The night flew by and we decided to get up around seven a.m. to get a fresh start on the day. Disneyland was much more fun this year than four years ago, it wasn't nearly as crowded and the place was much "lighter" than the last time, mostly with European tourists, and alot of Asians as well. I was able to strike up a short conversation with a Viet Namese immigrant in the "Raiders of the lost Arc" ride (in Viet Namese) as he didn't speak a word of English. The ride was well worth it. We spent 5 hours in the morning, went to the hotel and ate and slept then returned for the evening and six more hours of walking and riding.

The next day Sunday, we went back at the "Magic Morning" at Disneyland where for the second time in four years, "Splash Mountain" was not operating...then to the California Adventure Park again for the day. I didn't ride much but enjoyed the sights. We went on the water ride twice, got soaked, the Hotel of Terror or whatever they call that place, (It got my attention) but the most fun was the "California Screemin' roller coaster... What a trip, as this contraption catapults you from ground zero (Electromagnetically) to 80 MPH up this incline in six seconds. Reminiscent of being catapulted off a U.S. Aircraft Carrier in an FA-18 Hornet... OMG... I also got to talk brush up alot on my Spanish while I was there as a lot of the help were bi-lingual.

We watched the "Parade of Lights", what an over all blast for the three days... Money seemed to be no object with Taylor and Sandi. I was more frugal and only purchased the little pins that go on their (I didn't get one, see photo's) admission necklaces you received when you get the package deal. We were all exhausted, I felt really bad for Taylor, nearly 15 hours of walking in three days... She and Sandi were spent and slept the entire way back... It took me four days before my legs to stop aching... Back to my mountain bike training...

Were going to Sea World and Universal Studio's next summer...

"Kennedy Dead"

Edward Kennedy, the "Lion" of the Senate? Yeah, right! Go pound sand up someone elses..........

The angels descended upon Massachusetts today and Flushed a Toilet full of 47 years of crap called Edward Kennedy... AOL on their pop up page asked the question? "Who is going to step up for Ted Kennedy"? Well I went to Disneyland last weekend and talked with Goofy and he said he wasn't real busy due to the economy and would be willing to "Step Up" in Teddy's place with the following "Caveat":

He wouldn't be giving anything away to the illegal aliens infesting this great country, sopping up our education, medical and prison systems in the future. He insisted he wouldn't degrade our brave Military personnel in harms way, ie; "Abu Ghrib". He wouldn't be interested in giving all the deviant queers, gays, faggots et; al the title of "Married" but would offer counseling to all of them. Goofy also promised that if he accidentally drowned someone at Splash Mountain, he wouldn't wait 17 hours to tell anyone...or disgrace his religion by being pro-abortion killing innocent lives and finally he promised to not rub in the "Little people's" faces his riches and successes afforded him by all the ignorant moron's living in California by re-electing him over and over in order to get handouts of decent taxpaying citizens hard work.

Thanks Goofy, we will definitely look into your Senate run.

I've often wondered how long Mary Coppechanee suffered as she drowned. Well, let's just hope that this cesspool senator's lasted the whole 17 months...

Good riddin's dirt bag!
