the Oscar for best use of a parachute in a foreign film goes to

Our posts will be out of order starting with the present.
This summer has been jam packed and that is just the last week.

We had the Boss Daniels family vacation in Park City, Utah

The Alpine slide. Harry seams to love this more than anyone. Walker not so excited to carry the cart.

Swimming lots and lots of swimming. much to Justin's dismay i have posted a pic of him in a swim suite. see above he is in total dismay

each family was to host a craft, or activity for the weekend. The Fritz family (Justin's sister and her Boys) had make your own Yo Yo as well as beading jewelery. Boss Daniels family (Justin's Dad, Chrissy& Harry) Had build your own rocket (the launch was delayed due to wind) The Child less family (US) had a game of Crockett. Unknowing that when you had a large group of kids with mallets it would then turn into a blood sport so our activity was very short and painful.

we had a happy baby most of the weekend. Ms. E. Clair is now 1 yrs old

NOW to the Rocket launch night. we had the children pose for their annual flag day photo.

this was the best one this year, every child in their natural pose. Grant singing, Harry getting ready to moon the camera, Jackson trying to find something to climb, Abbie being horrified by all these stinky Boys, Keaton terrifying Abbie and Walker texting like a mad mad teen. Un seen is Sammy (no relation) holding up his beating stick ready to whack unsuspecting kids (you think by now they would expect it)

The Rocket Launch at Justin's old stomping ground Eisenhower Jr High. This was a huge success. Only one rocket didn't make a successful launch, Justin's. My launch on the other hand was fantastic. I receive the award best use of a parachute.

Beautiful launch (this must be mine)

Why i am voting republican

It has been a long time coming but this ad made us see the light, and we are sure it will help you decide as well.

On a side note Maggie is happy that even if she is separate she will still be called equal.

I have been warning you for years

OK so it has been a while since I posted on this blog, but this was to important to not let everyone in on.

Tomatoes are bad

In fact they are killing people and this is not even the first time.


Apparently this is from a public service announcement circa 1978

I do not want to rub it in but i was right and all of you were wrong.

Beware the Tomatoes!!!!

So since it has been so long since I have blogged there is a lot to catch up on. First off my New Year's resolution of taken a picture of myself everyday has failed ( although i did last a lot longer then my usual resolution of counting how many times i use the bathroom in a year ). So here is the last picture i took in the series a picture of me everyday in 2008.

Also I just got back from Nashville, Tn. I never got to see Music City in the daytime but here are some great pictures of the view from my hotel.
The Country Music Hall of Fame

The Gibson Tour Bus

We also walked in the pride parade with the Young Democrats of Utah.

Alisha and Maggie walking in the parade

So sorry that I have not kept up to date. I will try to blog on a more frequent basis

Boys Dont Cry : The Cure

Break Out The Black Eye Liner Kids

As many of you know (all 3 of you who read this) I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CURE. I am mod or goth or what every you may call it theses days, deep down in my sole I have a black black heart. And you're never too old to go a Cure concert... If Robert Smith can go out on stage with out his walker I can certainly dust off my black crushed velvet corset and buff up my Doc's to go to the freak show.
I was so happy to see so many made up, yet familiar faces. We are all older and fatter but still manged to own mostly black clothes.
The concert did not disappoint the cure played for 3 hours with 3 encores. Playing most of my favorites. Brings me back to a simpler time when life sucked and disintegration was my only friend.
Justin the BEST BEST husband in the world was so nice not only to go but buy the tickets and smile the whole time. What a sweetie... but Justin what do you look like theses days? its been so long since we've seen pictures of you...

CAUTION! NOT FOR CHILDREN! NOFX - Franco Un-American

Teenage angst

Justin and I attend a Punk rock show last week. One of my Favorites NOFX and 3 weeks ago The Bouncing Soles Justin's favorite. This is our 2nd punk show in 1 month, this is a lot for us considering we are now "the weird old people" that used to creep us out at shows, but I have discovered that I am still filled with teenage angst. Maybe its because I live in my mothers basement again, or the fact that I think I'm among the weird old people, Or could it have been all the PBR I drank. Who knows but its was refreshing to fill so young.

Justin had been busy preparing for the Jefferson Jackson dinner and the Utah State Democratic Convention. Alisha has been suffering through my severe allergies I tend to have every spring. Maggie has been doing what she does best taking it easy.
