TUESDAY NIGHTS!!!

How could you not love them knowing this is what you get to go watch!!!!

Every Tuesday night we find ourselves at the Cottonwood Complex watching Parker play in a men's fast pitch softball league. Its great!!!

And when I say men. . .I mean MEN!!! The average age of the league being around 30, but there is Parker out there, easily the youngest at the age of 14!!!

He almost won his first game last Tuesday. . .maybe this Tuesday will be the day!

Under Attack

It all started with these guys:

Our neighbors have bird feeders in their backyard and we have ample trees in ours. Naturally the birds eat the food there then come over to our backyard and relieve themselves. My parents were not big fans of this whole bird equation, so in order to put an end to the bird poop frenzy that was taking place on our deck they took action and bought some hawks and an owl.

A few weeks later and we find ourselves here. . .with the eagle

Just imagine yourself driving and seeing some birds flying off to your right wondering what they are, when all of the sudden one of them comes right at you, your mom in the passenger seat ducks and squeals, you, driving, press on you breaks as this giant Bird is flying straight for your windshield!!! Well that's exactly what happened to us as we were driving to Montpelier, Idaho. I had visions of this eagle breaking the windshield of my car and its beak hitting me right in the chest, life ender!!! Luckily for us it pulled up at the last minute and came within a few feet of that blessed windshield.

That brings me to this:

Go ahead and wonder, take a closer look if needed, and you will see the largest bird poo to ever have been!!!! This beauty happened yesterday on my way home, going under an over pass to get on the freeway!!! It was literally a palm size splat on the same blessed windshield that the eagle almost hit!!!

Its because of events like these that I believe my family and I are under attack. . .or it just proves that birds are crazy and poop a lot!!!!
You choose!!

WELL. . .

I decided that I don't like titles. . .coming up with them takes me forever and often time keeps me from posting. Its funny how silly little things like titles can keep us from doing things like this. So tonight after being told by my mom to post something I'm going to and I don't even care what the title is!!!

In my moms office one of the walls is covered with pictures. . .old and new, some that I like and others I wish she would take down( the ones of me), but there they are, up on a wall.

Tonight while out at my grandparents house I was looking at a photo album that one of my cousins had put together, in it was old and new photos. Its amazing how things change as well as how fast they do. Pictures give us a time to reflect, to really sit and look and think back to that day, that moment, those feelings.

Time is a funny thing and it makes me happy and sad at the same time, and to be honest I think its the only thing that can really do that.

So here are some pictures that I found! Some old. Some new. But all great!!!!

FINALLY. . .

On this blessed day Parker finally got dressed at 11:45 am. . .yes it was a struggle. . .after him giving me puppy dog eyes for a half hour and me trying my hardest not to completly die of laughter, I finally gave in and picked him some clothes out to wear for the day. . .I'm just glad I didn't have to help him get dressed. . .eww!!!!! Yep this is how I am spending the days of my youth. . .picking out clothes for my fourteen year old brother to wear!!!!!

but looking at this picture I know what you are thinking. . . fourteen????

In other news. . .

It is finally shaved ice season. . .and for me that means afternoons and nights hanging out in a blessed trailor known as Shavy Jones!!! No this is no regular snow cone and upon first mention of snow cone i tremble and become slightly offended, this is SHAVED ICE PEOPLE!!!! But with much self control I am quick to correct those innocent people who call the place I work at a Snow Cone Shack.. . . .ITS NOT!!! If you don't believe me come try it!!! We are located on the patio of Mountain Mikes Pizza(delicous) and 10400 South. . . I work tomorrow night!!! Our hours are 4-9 M-F and 12-9 on Saturday, come for a visit!!!!

April Fools. . .

Well my roommate and I were 'pranked'.. if you can call it that we didn't even get it all figured out until april 9th!! You see it all started out about a month ago my roomate (amy) was walking past a dumpster and noticed a large object in it. Come to find out it was a shopping cart. . .so what did we do about this shopping cart, just what any other responsible twenty year olds would do, we take it out and clame it as ours!!!!! We take it one rides, at night of course, and try to keep it as hidden as possible i think that we have told a total of 8 people. . .Well apparently our other roommate(whose name will remane untold for safety reasons haha) told our neighbors who then decided to pull a prank on us. .. how would one do that you might ask???? Well lets just say they took our wheels, literally took em'!!!! Our wheels to our beloved shopping cart, the gateway to our childhood!!!! Don't worry we got those wheels back!!! Now we just have to put them back on the cart!! Anybody got any tools????
