THERE WERE A COUPLE PEOPLE THAT DID NOT GET TO MAKE IT . MY COUSIN ED AND MY UNCLE ARLIN. YOU WERE BOTH MISSED VERY MUCH. MOM AND DAD HAVE WORKED VERY HARD THIS WEEK AND WEEKEND TO GET EVERYTHING READY FOR TODAY. YOU BOTH DID A GREAT JOB. EVRYONE BROUGHT GREAT DISHES TO SHARE AND THE FOOD WAS AWESOME. HERE ARE A FEW PICS OF MY GRANDMA. IT WAS A GREAT DAY.

ANOTHER PIECE DONE

THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON ONE OF MY PIECES OF CERAMICS. I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO THIS PIECE FOR A LONG TIME BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. I GUESS I WAS NOT IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND. TONIGHT I FINISHED IT. I LOVE THE WAY IT CAME OUT I JUST HAVE TO DO THE EYES. I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED DOING IT. HERE IS A BEFORE AND AFTER SHOT.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PIECE

MOM AND DAD GAVE ME ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PRESENT TODAY. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL INDIAN PIECE THAT I SAW IN A CERAMIC SHOP. IT IS SO AWESOME. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART MOM AND DAD AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

A DAY TO REMEBER

AFTER MY HORRIBLE NEWS YESTERDAY I WAS JUST LOST FOR WORDS. IT HAS BEEN A VERY STRESSFUL COUPLE OF WEEKS. MOM AND I CRIED AND CONSOLED EACH OTHER A GOOD PART OF THE DAY YESTERDAY. SO I DECIDED THAT WE NEED SOMETHING TO LIFT OUR SPIRITS AND TAKE OUR MINDS OFF OF MY NEW CONDITION. FISHING CAME TO MIND. SO I TOLD MOM THAT I WAS GOING TO GO FISHING ON SATURDAY AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO. MOM AND I WENT TO WALMART THAT DAY AND WE BOTH GOT OUR LICENSES. MY LINCENSE WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM MOM AND DAD THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. SO THIS MORNING I GOT UP AT 4 AM AND GOT READY AND HEADED OUT TO THE LAKE. I GOT THERE AND GOT OUR FAVORITE SPOT SAVED FOR US. MOM CALLED ME AT ABOUT 6:45 AND TOLD ME THEY HAD TO MAKE A STOP AT WALMART AND THEN THEY WOULD BE OUT. THIS MADE ME VERY HAPPY. I WAS GOING TO GET TO SPEND THE DAY WITH MY PARENTS DOING ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALL MOST LOVE TO DO. BY THE TIME THEY GOT THERE I HAD ALLREADY CAUGHT MU FIRST 2 GOLDEN TROUT FOR THE BEGINING OF THE SEASON. WHAT A DAY IT WAS AWESOME IT IS THE FIRST TIME IN AWHILE THAT I GOT TO FISH WITH BOTH OF MY PARENTS AT THE SAME TIME. THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE MISSING AND HOPE THAT WE WILL ALL BE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER AND DO IT AGAIN REAL SOON. WHEN OUR FAMILY GETS ALL TOGETHER FOR A GOOD DAY OF FISHING IT IS LIKE A GIFT FROM GOD. OF COURSE AS ALLWAYS MOM OUT FISHED US BOTH. THANK YOU MOM AND DAD FOR THE AWESOME DAY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE TO COME.

AND THE CRAZINESS BEGINS FOR THE SEASON

HERE IN TWIN FALLS WE HAVE THE ONLY BRIDGE IN THE U.S.A. THAT IT IS STILL LEGAL TO B.A.S.E JUMP FROM. ON MY WAY HOME TONIGHT THEY HAD JUMPERS ON THE BRIDGE SO I DECIDED TO STOP AND TAKE A COUPLE OF PICTURES FOR YOU ALL. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. A FEW YEARS AGO A FRIEND OF MINE AND I WERE ON THE RIVER WATCHING SOME BASE JUMPERS AND WE WATCHED ONE GUY JUMP AND HIS CHUTE NEVER OPEN. THE GUY WAS 23 YEARS OLD AND THE SAD THING WAS HIS MOTHER WAS ON THE BRIDGE WATCHING HIM.

TO CATCH A THEIF

I GOT THIS PICTURE OF AMY LEE IN THE ACT OF TRYING TO GET THE SOLES OUT OF MY BOOTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH HER AND SOLES IN SHOES. SHE LOOKED AT ME WHEN I TOOK THIS PICTURE LIKE WHAT DAD I AM INNOCENT. HOW CUTE IS THAT.
