Woohoo

Three Must Watch Shows!!

I was sitting here thinking about my 3 favorite shows on TV right now! Psych on the USA Network is hillarious and I can't seem to get enough. And then Man Vs. Wild on Discovery Channel is off the hook! I love watching Bear Grylls eat all sorts of stuff, and showing us how to survive in the wilderness. I seriously got freakin ill watching him the other day. He found a bear crap, and showed that the bears body processes and expels food very quickly. So there were pieces of apple in the crap and he washed it off and ate it!! Are you freakin kidding me? But I guess if you had to survive.....ummm I'd find something else. And last but not least 24 on Fox! Jack Bauer is the man! He is unstopable, and just Hardcore! So there are my top 3 shows.

Oh The Joy!

So today I thought I would get started on all of the projects that are lined up for my car. These include things like, suspension, short shifter, gauges, bushings, etc. So I figured I would start with the suspension, the most involved of all projects. I started by taking off the front passenger side strut and coil. When I got my new coilover to install it....the camber plate (top part) didn't fit. Come to find out it is the part for an R53 (older MINI). So that means I won't have the correct part until the middle of next week. To add to that I started on the rear suspension. I am drilling a hole to mount an adjuster inside of the car. The freakin drill bit breaks! So after all of that I said forget it. I will work on it tomorrow. And of course to add to the pain, we had a church basketball game tonight. We were leading the entire game, and at one point were up by 14. When in the 4th quarter it started off by me hitting a 3 pointer, and then followed by the opposing team going on a 19-0 run. We lost by 9 points!! So what a freakin day!!

Wowzers!!

Ever since my mission, I have been rediculously allergic to cats. It came to my attention after we had met with someone we were teaching. She had 5 cats, and my eyes puffed up huge. The whites of my eyes when I would look to the side would fold over the colored part of the eye. It was disgusting. So here is what happened the other day. I picked up some tickets from a friend..you know who you are, and put them in my pocket. Later that night I reached in my pocket and soon after rubbed my eyes. This is the result. It was swollen for 2 days. Cats and I do not get along.

Addie!

While organizing pics, I also wanted to post some of Addie, and how far she has come along. She is a beautiful little pill. She is a Diva for sure, and likes what she likes and if she doesn't she has no problem telling you...or headbutting you, hitting you, etc. She is a cute little monster too, and once again I am glad to have pictures.

Kyler!

I was working on organizing photos on the computer, and thought I would share a trip down memory lane. It blows my mind to look at the picture of Kyler when he was so "little" and then see him now. He was a baldy, and a chub for sure. He is growing up wayy to fast, and I am just greatful for pictures. Without pictures I think I would have forgotten alot about this little monster when he was young.

Sports Illustrated!?!?

So I was kind of blah today, and sort of funky. I was working on organizing our pictures on the computer downstairs, when Christie comes downstairs. She says "Hey, I have something that should cheer you up!" Then she tosses the newest swimsuit issue on the desk. All I could do was laugh and tell her she is a freakin goof. My wife is awesome, and hillarious too. I haven't looked through the magazine yet(believe it or not), but the comment she made, brightened my spirits! Love ya babe, you rock!

P.S.  Christie wants me to post that I have a subscription to Sports Illustrated, and that she didn't just go and buy it for me.  

Comment Away People!

So today I received an email from my good buddy Dan, who stated that he was bummed that he couldn't comment on how lame I was for liking High School Musical. I also got a comment on our family blog relating the same problem. I was relieved to find this out, because I was starting to get a little bit bummed out that nobody was commenting on my freakin awesome blog. So I have fixed the problem and all are welcome to share feelings of love, kindness, and all things evil with me too. And before I say goodbye, I would like to mention the Grammy's were awesome last night. And seeing Neil Diamond brought back memories from my childhood. I was able to attend a Neil Diamond concert at the Salt Palace. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been too. No Joke! Hate on haters, but Neil Diamond ROCKS!!

Temple Night, Dinner, and Taken!!

Yesterday we had an Elder's Quorum Temple Night, and we attended the Salt Lake Temple. It was a good time. Little did we know that we would end up going out to dinner at Red Robin.....Royal Red Robin Burger Yummmmm! After that we decided to go and hit this show up. I enjoyed it quite a bit! I'm a sucker for action flicks, so this is right in that area if ya know what I mean. Needless to say we had to pay the babysitter for 7 hours, and didn't get home until 12:30 in the morning. It was awesome, I felt young again...like I had no worries in life! What a feeling. I didn't end up falling asleep until about 3 am, and then had Basketball this morning at 7:45. What a couple of days!! If you like action flicks you will probably like this show, so go and see it! WOOT!

Prepare For AMVIV 6

It is getting down to crunch time. On March 26-29 we will be attending the annual A MINI VACATION IN VEGAS. We will be among 150+ other MINI's and Mini's. The part I am really excited for is when we actually drag the strip all of us! Should be fun. So here are some pics of my car in it's current state. Some mods need to be put on before I will feel prepared. Waahaahaahaa!

STEELERS #1!!!!

Wow is about all I can say concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers win over the Arizona Cardinals! There were so many good plays for both teams in that Super Bowl that I think it will go down as one of the best so far. I am a huge Steelers fan!! The basement of our home is considered the "Sports Room." We have Steelers, Jazz, Iverson, Cubs, and even the Bears memrobilia down there. The picture shows a tiny bit of how awesome my collection in the basement is. The two jersey's shown were both Kyler's when he was younger. The mini helmet is signed by Willie Parker, and there is so much more down there you would have to come and see for yourself.

San Francisco #2

I had to post some pics from the helicopter ride I booked for the fam. The top pic is of our chariot. Next pic down shows a white house on the right, and the pilot said that sold for 68 million. And just to walk through it, you had to show you had a net worth of 85+ million. WOW! Some good ones of the Golden gate bridge, and a once in a lifetime chance to fly under the bridge. When under the bridge you are going 150mph and only 50 ft off of the water! SCHWEET!

San Francisco #1

A little bit of fun in San Francisco. Top is Addie after our Alcatraz trip...isn't she adorable? Kyler eating some ice cream...he is a freakin awesome kid! And last but not least the kids and I on the cable car..Rock on!!

Family Vacation = FUN #2

So here is the second post of Disneyland. Of course you have to have the pic of Mickey. The next pic is something new to DL. You actually go up in the castle and it's kind of a self guided tour of Sleeping Beauties castle. Pretty cool. Once again the next pic is how Addie enjoyed most of the walking. The High School Musical 3 show was pretty sweet. If you haven't seen the movies, you should check them out. A tad on the cheesy side, but catchy songs none the less. Next is Addie studying the park map. She really wanted to be part of the planning. And of course a shot of my hottie wife! Love ya babe!

Family Vacation = FUN #1

Here are some great pics from Disneyland. The top pic is of the two women in my life....gorgeous aren't they? The next pic is of my buddy K-Dog. He's a total stud. Next is a pic of how Addie enjoyed walking around DL. She was roasting me out with that blanket of hers. The following pic is of our kiddos, who really love eachother. They really don't fight, and I catch them all the time holding hands. So precious, it touches me every time I see it. And finally the kids following in my footsteps. I literally was the Lego Maniac when I was little and I am so looking forward to "playing" legos with the kids.
