Can not seem to keep me away from the trails...

2011-12-20T13:29:00.000-07:00

Got 2 layers of wool socks thermals And gloves. Jack Frost still took a huge bite out of my face. Plus the water in my camelback turned to slush.

I think it was very cold.

I Blinked twice

2011-12-17T11:28:00.001-07:00

I Blinked twice and she grew up!

Two weeks no riding makes me sad.

2011-11-29T14:28:00.000-07:00

The amazing weather in Saint George made up for it today. Prospector / Church Rocks was great! Only thing that could have made it better was some friends along for the ride.

Anthrocart elevate completed!

2011-11-22T00:43:00.000-07:00

Awesome desk.

Anthrocart madness.

2011-11-21T21:04:00.001-07:00

Mark helping me try to put my anthrocart elevate together.

Any ride is a good ride, right?

2011-11-02T20:19:00.001-06:00

I rode up the 451, 452 and 453 ATV trails today. They are just north of the Lime Kiln historical sight in Richfield. They are surprisingly steep.

Rocktober 2!

2011-10-30T11:17:00.000-06:00

My girls look amazing!

Gooseberry ride with my bro!

2011-10-13T17:16:00.001-06:00

My brother and I took some time out to do a fun ride on the Gooseberry Mesa trail system. It is always fun to spend time with my bro. Spending time with my bro riding some great trails is even better!

Jessica and the Herriman high school band.

2011-10-09T09:59:00.001-06:00

Jessica and the HHS band went to Pleasant Grove high school and did very well. It is always fun to see Jessica march.

Mecdrox tie is ta awesome!

Make sure to buy stuff from Mark's zazzle

Catch up time. . .

2010-11-26T16:06:00.004-07:00

Kids did a concert.

We went to the most amazing concert of all time. Sometimes I think I am european stuck in an american body. :S

Played at the beach in Santa Monica.

Jacob played in the summer games for the Richfield soccer team.

Jacob went to Timberline camp. It was a very good experiance for Jacob.

We went with the ward to Martin's cove to do a pioneer trek experiance.

It was a very good experiance.

Kids did the 4th of July parade.

It was a fun, and very hot day. :)

The Sassy dog got shorn

It was a good summer.

Jacob did some more scout stuff.

We went to Mark's amazingly fun Rocktober party. Here is what was left of the "away team".

Danni Utah making friends and impressing people. WOW What an impression!

Mecdrox was so excited to get to meet Olly and Sifl!

There was a load of other amazing fun and great achivements and ocasions but for what ever reason they had not been captured in the lens of a camera.

Here Marilou and Jessica prepare for Christmas.

Much love to all of you! Your love and support has been life saving. Thank you.

SCOUTS!

2010-04-20T21:09:00.005-06:00

Jacob advanced another rank in scouts today!

We love you Jacob!

Lola came to visit!

2010-04-05T19:37:00.001-06:00

It was great fun hanging with Lola and the family!

Merry Christmas

2009-12-05T18:10:00.005-07:00

We tride to take some Christmas pictures with the self timer. Sorta hard to get it done right *sigh*

Ah well. At least Sassy is happy :)

She makes us happy to.

Save some freaking time!

2009-12-01T15:16:00.001-07:00

I love re installing my OS. But, I hate re-installing all the small stuff. Here is a freaking neat idea.

http://ninite.com/

Ninite installs apps with default settings and
says "no" to browser toolbars and other junk.

Ninite checks your PC's language and 64-bit support
to install the latest, best version of each app.

Ninite runs on Windows XP/Vista/7 and works
in the background 100% hands-free.

All Ninite does is install the apps you choose.
Not even Ninite is installed.

Saves a load of time.

Happy what day?

2009-11-18T14:57:00.002-07:00

This November has proved to be rather. . . blah.

I do however feel compelled to upload a new Photo anyway. So, Here is a pic I took testing a older thought to be broken camera. Thought it captured a odd look on my face.

36 years old. Not sure what else to say. . .

I'm trying to keep my news paper dry . . .

2009-10-15T18:10:00.004-06:00

Best band ever.

I will never get to see in real life. *sigh*

Thanks to the fine people (that can not seem to drive) mentioned in the previous post.

I do not know what to say. . .

She sure is cute!

Gears of War 2 is fun too

House fire

2008-09-19T20:45:00.007-06:00

Monday morning to our horror, our house caught on fire.

Here are some pics of the inside.

What we have been up to . . .

2008-07-03T17:20:00.002-06:00

It has been a busy summer so far. Working the fence.

The Vynal below the Brick above.

Then Marilou took Jessica and Branda to Girls camp!

They had a lot of fun.

THEN Marilou came back and went straight to a scout day camp with Jacob!

Super MOM.

We took some time to check out Jim and Granny's new home.

This is in the "crawl" space. Granny is sure excited about the raidiant heating.

The house sure looks nice. Hope it can handle the wind better then the shed has. :(

Granny's fancy horse and living quaters trailer. Its is nifty too.

Then we took off to see Marilou's Kuya. This is Jessica holding Reily. Romel and Kate's son.

Then we took some time to enjoy Temple Square.

Love Temple Square.

The Arnold Freeburg art gallery in the conferance center is great. Jacob and I really love this portail of Mormon and his son Moroni.

More to come!

Jacob can DRIVE!

2008-07-02T22:34:00.004-06:00

We went to Granny's to have dinner. (We ate some amazing home made barbacoa pork) Then Granny showed Jacob and I how to drive the Skid Steer. It is acrazy little guy. I imagine it is a lot like driving a giant fighting robot without the giant and fighting part.

ANYWAY

I took this video with our new LG Dare phone. Turned out rather well. It is a fun phone. I am still working over the touch screen interface part. It is kinda hard to deal with.

Marilou made me do it.

2008-06-17T15:52:00.002-06:00

I know I am a fairly tall fellow. I am for the most part jolly. I might even be considered a giant in some places (Like the Philippines). I am how ever, not green.

Memorial Day

2008-05-26T18:30:00.001-06:00

Welp this means lots of cool new images an stuff for the blog!

Pet Shop Boys - Girls Don't Cry: A Veronica Mars tribute.

2007-12-22T14:07:00.000-07:00

So , you know the Pet Shop Boys put out a net album two years ago. They went on tour last year. The UPN/WB happened to can one of the best shows they have ever had. When I fist heard "Girls Don't Cry" (a B-side for the "I'm with Stupid" single), I knew it had to be made into a VM tribute. So . . . here is a stab at it.

Here we are eating like we where starved and skinny. YUMMIE!
Note uncle Tim there at the end with the white T-shirt on. Turns out he is not only good at welding, truck driving and world peace, he is an accomplished chef!

Man this is good. Look mine is all gone! See the super happy looks on all our faces. Thanks Tim. Best birthday ever.

Thanks again for everyone who came. It was really just wonderful.

If Al ever stops by your town I highly recomend going to see his show.

Here is a huge collection of photos during and after the fire out near the Blundell powerplant. There are just too many pictures to embed them all into my blog so I put them on the google web albums.

Milford flat fire 2007

I took only about 30 of the post fire images found there. The rest are a collection of people that live and work in or around Milford. I know time date stamps on some of the images are messed up.

Talk about scorched earth. For information about the fire see the Utah fire informational website here.

Superman Doomsday

2007-07-09T06:51:00.000-06:00

I truly hope this is not going to suck like Superman Brainiac attacks While I was super excited to have the original voice actor back. EVERYTHING else sucked.

As for the doomsday deal Bruce Timm has redesigned all the characters. Normaly, this is a bad idea in my opinion. Still once available there will be a copy in my DVD collection. I am a sucker for Bruce Timm and his super hero animated love.

*sigh*

The hits just keep coming.

2007-07-03T08:08:00.000-06:00

So Pet Shop Boys came to Utah. Some new bands are really cool, Shiny Toy Guns. And to top it all off Information Society is at it again. Here are some neat videos to get you going.

and

Ok so those where more of a tribute. Here is the new stuff.

Make sure to give them some money for some song love at amazon or their own shop on their site.

Make sure to check out the original InSoc website. www.insoc.org

There are a few other bands that are worth noting. Imogen Heap, The love makers, Hellogoodbye, Under the influence of giants, and while not new they are just too cool not to mention a-ha.

The family.

Jump a head a few years and this is my best friend Mark Richardson. I am not sure as to the date but it is just before or after my mission in the Philippines. *sigh* The horses are Nina, closest to Mark and the Black Stalion in the back in Coby.

Funny thing Mark has not aged much since then. *sigh*

The soft rains of April

2007-04-30T19:00:00.000-06:00

First of all blogspot ate a bunch of my pictures. GRRR! I was a sprunded poster for the month of April.

So they never recovered my lost posts and images but I fixed what I wanted and have moved on.

Pine wood derby!

Here is Jacob with the "Weeee little one". (It must be spoken with a Scotish accent)

The "Weeee little one" and its very sporty glow in the dark clover.

Took first place!

I did some video of it and stuff. But I will get my lazy self in gear and put it all together.

Also of note it is Jacob's little league baseball season. Look for video's of that too.

The love of my life

Great Grandpa!

2007-01-15T14:32:00.000-07:00

This is Margaret and Grandpa. They are amazing people.

We took the extra long weekend to visit them.
It was a long drive. The trip proved to be worth every mile we had to drive.
When I was young I would spend summers with Grandpa and Margaret. I learned a great deal from them. I am glad my children get to spend some time with them as well.

So, I am a computer geek. I would love Bill Gates as President of the USA. but these crappy voting machines are THE worst. Mr stokes here has made the case several times. I agree with what he has said and proved.

I hope Utah is listening to what is going on here.

By the way. I am very White and Nerdy.

This is a screen capture of the trivia card from the music video White & Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic

Bill Gates President of the United States of America

2006-12-01T14:24:00.000-07:00

Here is a neat idea. Get the richest man in the world to be President.

I have even put a link in the upper right hand corner of my blog.

w00t! VOTE!

Here is the new house. Wrapped in a snow storm.

Jacob at the front door in the snow.

So there I am. Covered in snow. Man is it cold.

Ahh the tranquil backyard. The snow is like a blanket of peace in this crazy world.

Sassy playing in the snowy backyard. No cats here.

The snow covered Sassy is looking for cats in the trees.

Here is the back of the house. Snow covered yard, deck and well you know everything.

What is that . . . THING?!

2006-09-13T18:27:00.000-06:00

Since moving to Richfield we have had a lot of fun. We have enjoyed being close to family and even finding cute things in our new home. But, What on this good earth is this? Anyone? Please let me know.

*UPDATE* My main man Mark let me know it is a "Jerusalem cricket"

Sure funky lookin' buggers.

We Just found it crawling around in the window well.

It's like a giant ant/termite/spider . . . thing. . .

Marilou chopsticks the thing into a mason jar.

Are you my mommy?

Phew, good thing Marilou is so freaking tuff!

Ultimate Frisbee

2006-08-21T17:02:00.000-06:00

Jessica filmed this video. I had hoped it would be longer but it was her first time using a video camera. It was hard to find any useable footage. In the future as our skills improve I am sure we will post better and more frequet videos.

Love the Ultimate Frisbee
