I'm the rodeo princess!

So the tradition goes if your a rodeo princess competitor you tradtionally need to use 6.5 ounzes of Aquanet to primp for the big night. Last night was not the case when we had the pleasure of sitting next to Miss Rodeo Utah for several minutes. Jenna Whitaker (current reigning rodeo royalty of Utah) came and sat right behind us to visit with some friends or something. She was so kind to let Leah and Annie climb on her lap and make some little girl memories. I mean, who can resist Hot Pink Wranglers, Sequins with embroidered bumble bees and paisley, and what impressed me especially - No huge hair. This gal was classy, no frizz and no pasta sized curls past the waste. Fun night.
Check out the pix.

Experiment

I was messing around with an old fish eye lense, and here were some results.

Cheeburger Heart Attack

On July 7th I partook in what only America has to offer in the way of encouraging poor eating. Actually Rachel made the comment while we were eating at the famous Cheeburger down the street from our place. She said "only in America do we encourage eating like this.."
My cousins Crimson & Krista visited for the week and we decided to try this new place out. The menu was pretty cool, in that you can build your own burger with many tasty items. Then you pick the size of your creation.

Well this place offered the cholesterol bomb size portion of exactly 1 pound of beef (not including the massive bun, chopped garlic, and dripping ranch dressing). Holy snappers, this monstrosity actually mooed back at me I think. It was initially an intimidating sight to behold. But the darn thing was pretty good. I was really trying to show off for my now truly impressed daughters. Little Annie kept rubbing my arm and coaching me along as only she can do when it comes to tackling a larger meal. Rachel was going to throw up for me she said because she was pretty repulsed by this display.
I experienced such a blood pressure increasing sensation from the overload of meat that it made me wonder why do manly men do such things?
Answer; because it’s awesome! I dominated that damn burger and got my picture on the wall of one pounder eaters!!
So if any of you hippie skeptics who like to eat tree bark instead of a sweet juicy pound of American heart attack beef, please go to this address and behold my photo on the wall of Cheeburger awesomeness.

Game, Set, Match…

Back home in the city of lights!

Got back home last week from student teaching in Utah. Its so nice to be back with my girls. You know I think I am growing up a little bit. Here's why; You see I am a somewhat of a music nerd. I love going to concerts (the last count has hit aroud 150 or so) and for the last 10 years straight I have hit the Warped Tour in SLC no matter what. Well, this year things changed some. I missed my girls so bad I couldn't handle it. I was to stay in Ogden for student teaching to end for the week, and the last two days I wasnt needed. Instead of Rocking Out at would have been #11 Warped Tour in a row - I zipped home the see the real love's of my life - R,L, & A. I thought about the 11+ hour punk rock, sunburned, blow out mini vacation I treat myself to each year, and this time it just didnt compare to watching Leah kick around the deep end with her floaties, Annie eating stuff in the shallow end, and floating Rachel around with her big pregnant belly.
Its all ok though - because I'll be seeing Rancid next week at the House Of Blues with Jefferson Clayton.

Ogden Canyon Last Night

Jesse called me up last night and we headed to Windsor's cabin for a dip in the hot tub. Best I've slept in days. Just needed Rachel and the girls there.
Here Pine View dam ready to overflow. I've never seen it this high ever. Man, send some to Vegas!

Good one of the start of Ogden Canyon... Lovely Green...

What a weekend

Back in Utah for student teaching. It was hard to leave my girls (R,L,A) but have to do it. Today was crazy becuase I was so tired. I sat next to a doofus who snored the whole flight from LV to SLC, and I was all wound up from flying. I couldnt get to sleep unti like 2am for some reason. So, tonight after some home made meatball dinner of some kind, I'm getting to bed early. This is really for my wife to catch up on what I was up to today.
Anyway, I'm in an empty house going at it on this blurg, and getting lonely for my girls to play with. But you gotta to what you gotta do.
