6-18 Something We Don't Know About You

In 1987 I was bored and wanted to learn something new. I chose scuba diving. I took all of the lessons, both classroom and pool. I went to Lake Powell and got my Open Water Certification. Then I went to Bear Lake and got my Advanced Open Water Certification. Believe it or not, that was the last scuba dive I did. Never pursued it again. Wish I would have but that is an expensive sport and I couldn't travel because I didn't have the money. So I spent time and money for something I never pursued.

6-17 What's In The Bag

Today is Father's Day. At church the Primary gave fathers treats...My choice M&Ms. Then each of the Primary children made ties to give to their dad...Trail Mix. I love them both and I love being a dad. Thanks Melissa for making me a dad.

Steel Curtain Rising: Tomczak to be Pittsburgh (Power) Offensive Coordinator

I remember Mike Tomczak and was glad to have him as the back up for Neil O'Donnell and Kordell Stewart.  I, too, thought he would end up as a coach and I am glad that the Pittsburgh Power will have him.  Maybe he can be a head coach some day.

6-16 Out and About

Today we took a little time to replace rose bushes that we planted last year but didn't survive the winter. We got two different varieties; Mellow Yellow and Pumpkin Patch. I really think the Pumpkin Patch is going to be a beautiful choice. The brightness of the Mellow Yellow stood out at J&J Nursery so we chose that one. But after looking over all of the other available bushes, I am happy that we got Pumpkin Patch.

July 2010 we were invited by Melissa's sister, Lindsey, and her husband Marc to enjoy a family reunion at his family's ranch in Montana. What a great week we had. We did some horse riding, fishing, and the kids even got to ride and drive ATVs. Ashton, Jaxon and Seattle were on this yellow ATV having a great time just going around the compound.

Coda. Ashton picked up Coda for free on a night drive to Duchesne. He has been a great addition to the family...except for last week when Venus was in heat. He lost weight, and did nothing but follow around Venus. Inside, outside, upstairs, downstairs...what a pain. But we love him anyway.

June 11 Photo - Door

Sorry this is a day late. June 11 is supposed to show a door. Well, here it is. This is the door for Jean Brown Research. Ashton had his wisdom teeth removed on 6/11. I dropped him off at 6:00 am and didn't see him again until 11:25 pm. What a day for him. It was finally after 12:40 when we got home after picking up his medication. I feel sorry for him, but he got his teeth out for free and no hit to my insurance. Get well soon Ashton.
