Up close and personal with the fans.

Do you think Ruvell Martin expected this kind of celebration with his Lambeau Leap into the crowd?

Check out the fan grabbing his, UgUm "pants".

Youtube Friday

Its Youtube Friday again.
This weeks featured video is another cover song. This is Chris Cornell doing Billy Jean by Michael Jackson. I love his rendition as it completely changes the feel to the song.

Bonneville Salt Flats

Janies parents are in town. We always have a great time when they are in town and we usually try to get out and show them different parts of Utah. They have always wanted to go out to the salt flats in western Utah. We have always tried to put it off and show them something a little more interesting than a barren wasteland of salt. This time we decided to take the drive out there and see it.
Just like we thought. A barren area of crusted salt. Although I must admit, it was alot more interesting than i thought it might be. We spent about half an hour out there looking and running around on it. One of the most interesting things were the mirages in the distance that looked so much like water was covering the ground. We then went out and drove on it. We didnt put the MDX to too much of a speed test. It was different driving out there and felt like we were driving much faster than we actually were.

I love Pandora

I love pandora radio.
A friend sent me a link and i have been hooked ever since. Pandora is an online music service that allows you to enter a song or a band and then pandora plays songs that are similar to this type of music. You can then provide feedback on each song by either approving or disapproving of the song which then is taken into account to give you better music selections. You can create different stations depending on what mood or style of music you want to listen to. Its saves me when I am stuck in the office writing reports or entering data.

Cancer Sucks

Image by DAN

4 Years ago today my mother died of lung cancer. What a horrible time in the life of our family. Last year my brother Lynn wrote an account of her battle with cancer and how it all ended with us flying her home on a medical jet from our vacation in Hawaii. I thought it might be nice to read through it to remember my mom. I opened it, flipped through the pages and had to put it back in the box. I dont think I will ever want to relive the experience again.

We miss you Mom.

Halloween

The kids are the perfect age for Trick or Treating, especially Isaak. All day long he would ask if it was time. Usually daylight savings has already occurred but since this year they pushed it back a couple weeks it seemed like it took forever to get dark. Trick or Treating in the light just isn't the same (I always wondered why they went Trick or Treating while still daylight in the movie ET). Finally it was time to go out..

These are the girls nails that Janie put on the witch and vampire.

Jacie was a princess witch.

Abby was a vampire.

And Isaak a fighting Power Ranger.

We were in such a hurry and so excited to get out and start knocking doors that we were on our way down the street and realized that Isaak didn't have any shoes on. the girls groan as we have to run back inside to get his shoes and socks on.

The kids got so much candy and some really good candy. It was amazing how many full size candy bars and big packs of candy they got. At one house the guy was giving out Playdough. Isaak was running a bit behind and the girls yelled "playdough"! Isaak got up to the door and said in his most pathetic voice "I dont want a potato".
