Utah Jazz

The season is over for the Utah Jazz. It has been a frustrating season this year. The worse part is they lost to the hated LA Lakers (although the Lakers clearly out played then).

New Floors

We are having the wood floors refinished in the kitchen and entry way. If you understand the layout of our house, you realize that we really can't go anywhere. Last night we had to sneak up the stairs from the front door. Today, Ron the floor guy is going to be putting down multiple finishing coats on the whole thing, including the stairs. We will need to be off of it all day. The dogs will have to live in the big room for today. I guess we will work out side and perhaps go see a movie. It is looking good. Pics to follow.

Mother's Day

I just want to let my wife know how much she mean to me and our family. We have over 21 great years together and I wouldn't change any of the them. I hope you have a special day.

Love you.

Utah Jazz

Go Jazz!

Hunting in Utah

I have hunted in Utah pretty much every years since I was 12 years old. The application process now cost $10.00 for each Application that you want to submit. So far this year I have applied for 6 different hunting opportunities. I just received my results for the general season for this fall and I did not draw anything. Not even a general season tag. For the first time in my life, I will not have a chance to go deer hunting in Utah. I am getting tired of the system in Utah. I am tired of giving hundreds of dollars for a chance to do a hobby that I truly enjoy. Perhaps this is a sign. . . . .

Diarrhea and Birthdays

I recieved a phone call from the president of my fan club saying that I haven't updated my blog in a while and I need to get busy and update it right away. Sorry it has been so long.

Today is Brit's Birthday. He is 15 now. Wow where have the years gone?! A couple of weeks ago, he had some friends over for his birthday party. He has a friend who live in Las Vegas and he was in town so he had his friend party then. We went shopping for his gift about 3 weeks ago and found a wake board that he really wanted so we got it for him. He commented a few time that it does really feel like his birthday. I guess when you spread it over 3 weeks it should be ok.

This morning we woke up and Brit opened his remaining gifts. He received, a wake boarding helmet, a wake boarding shirt, a video game and a hammock. After that we all went to brunch together at Johanna's Kitchen. Next we had to stop at Costco to get his cake for the family party in the evening. When we got home, Brit played his video game while the rest of us clean the house. Family started arriving at 6:00. We played Rockband on the Xbox and had a good time.

Happy Birthday Brit, I hope you had a nice day.

The last 3 days Kim and Kaylee have been sick. Kaylee has been puking and pooping on everything. She has not eaten anything until today. I guess that is a good thing when you can keep anything down or up.

Kim has had the same thing. Hers came on a day later then Kaylee. She hasn't been puking but well you know the other symptoms.

Brit and I have been Ok so far. Hopefully it will continue for us.

The Utah Jazz are up 3-1 against Houston. Their next game is on Tuesday. Hopefully they can finish things out and then get ready for the Lakers. Go Jazz!!

On another note, we found a really good frozen yogurt place. if you haven't been to Red Mango yet, you should check it out.

I received an email from Quinn Frazier this last week. He said that after 9 years of living in Asia, they are moving back to the states (Georgia). He is still with UPS. Somewhere there is a picture of Quinn and I dressed up like the Blue Brothers.

Things that make me laugh

What makes you laugh? Here is a list of things that crack me up:

• Comb overs
• Butt cracks hanging out
• Mullets
• Men driving mini vans
• Old ladies trying to get as much soft serve yogurt on a cone because it is only .99
• Old photos (I prefer the 80's)
• Quarter in the butt
• Rumors taken as truth
• Women who can't backup a boat trailer
• Husbands who yell at their wife's for not knowing how to backup a trailer while he is on the boat
• Custom T-shirts
• Swearing Nuns
• Dog's walking people
• Crop Dusting
• Saturday Night Live
• Loud noises when no one expects it

Weekend

What a wild weekend this has been. I had an appointment on Friday morning that lasted a couple of hours, then off to do some running(post office, hair cut, bank). When I arrived home, I was told that one of the mother goats had died sometime last night. We took the Daisy down to the pet Mortuary to have her cremated. We are having our neighborhood clean up on April 30 so I have a bunch of stuff that needs to be taken out the curb. Scott came over and helped me with some projects. We cut down one of the pine trees that had died and took off my swamp cooler and installed a new one. Thanks for all your help Scott! After all that, the family sat down and watched Juno on DVD.

Saturday we drove down to Payson to have lunch with Kim's Grandma. She made us chicken with rice and brocolli. It was very good. We then played Apples to Apples with her. Kim won. In the evening, I watched the Utah Jazz take out the Houston Rockets in game one. A very good start for them.

Sunday and Kaylee and I are going to head out to bruch and then just take it easy today.
