Diary Entry from 12/30/09

Someting I forgot!
I was remembering a night a few weeks ago. I was woken up by some
strange noises in the attic. I tried to ignore it but the noises kept
on, so I decided to go see what it was. As I stepped out of my room
there was Adolf our cat poking its head out of the door to the boys
old room in the attic. I reached for him and he ran back up in the
room. I was too tired to chase him so I went back to bed. Just as I
was getting comfortable the cat began meowing like he was going to
die. So I got up and went out to put the cat outside. Just as I walked
out of my room Daniel walked out of his room, I was relived so he
could climb the rock wall and get the cat. Daniel looked up at the cat
then at me and said "that is not my fault, I did not leave that cat in
here!" Just as I was about to say go get the cat Daniel turned and
went back to bed and ignored all my protests. So I had to climb the
rock wall bare foot and get that cat and put it back outside.

My Stoger P350

We recently bought a stoger p350. It is a 12 ga shotgun. We bought it to shoot clay pigeons. Here we are using the gun.

Benjamin's Baptism

We are at the sage building for Benjamin's baptism. It was a good experience for us. Dave was there with his new wife and his parents. I think that it was a good experience for them also.

Flock Browser

I am trying out a new internet browser called Flock. It is based on the mozilla framework so it is like Firefox (my browser of choice for going on ten years now).  The difference of Flock is it is links to all my social media sites. So I have my twitter feed and Facebook feed on a side bar.  There is also a blog editor thus the blog post.  So far it has worked quite well and the social media is a nice addition to a browser.

Blogged with the Flock Browser

Here is a collage of the boating pictures that we took at Navajo Lake, near Farmington, New Mexico. As you can see we had fun. Daniel said that it was terrifying. Everyone else loved it.

Emalie's First Temple Trip

Can you see the smile on her face? Emalie was so excited to get to go to the temple. By the time we were done she wanted to go again the next day. She wanted to go so bad for her birthday. Partly because it was her birthday and she was 12 and also because both of her Grandpas were working in the temple that day.

Time to start a new year

Well it has been only a few months since my last post. Must be a record. Right now the kids are playing Star Wars Lego 2. So while I sat here I thought I would post to my blog. I have made it to church every month now for three months. I am glad to be fulfilling my goals.

In an atempt to feel better Lynn and I are doing a juice fast. It has been an experience and a half. Once the toxins start moving out my kidneys revolt and hurt a lot. Lynn has had a dificult time as well. We sure hope that it makes a diffence.

We are dog sitting for grandma Applegate. We think James will miss little girl when she goes home.
