Happy 4th of July vroom vroom!

We had a blast this weekend. But we are so, so sore! We camped up Blacksmith fork canyon. We invited somefriends up but only Tiara, me my bro and parents came. So we had tons of leftover food and more fourwheelers and motorcycles than people. Oh well... we had fun!

Tiara's Machine watchout!

Pick your fun!

The suite!!! three rooms and we enjoyed everyone of them!

The two yamaha riders!

The view from up top! Mount Logan Peak around 9000ft!

Oh wow what a view!

We found out through one of the newspapers that Families of those who were killed in the USU van accident had a special family day to see a special monument that was created for a memorial. We didn't hear about it so we immediately contacted the sculptor. He told us he would make a special meeting with us so Tiara could see the sculpture.

It was awesome to see! Tiara got to do her part in the scuplting. It was amazing to see it up close.

When it is finished it will be copper covered then temporarily displayed in the Taggart student center until the new Ag building is finished then it will permanently be in the foyer of that building.

Arena Cross

Tiara and I took our nephew Wyatt to the Ogden Arena Cross a couple weeks ago. He has been obsessed with my motorcycle since I took him for a ride last year camping. He always asks me when I am going to take him for a ride again on my "scooter".

The little dude on the blue bike is a 3 year old racer. He was the youngest and the whole crowd was cheering him on. This is what age my kids will be riding their dirt bikes!!!

Fly, fly away...

So yesterday I was able to go and check out some helicopter flight schools I have wanted to look at. I am thinking about getting my helicopter pilots license! The school had a great program and the guys were really friendly. One of the Salt Lake Radio Stations was on site and had a raffle for a free flight lesson. Well Tiara entered me in and if any of you know of Tiara's luck you wouldn't be suprised to hear that I won!

I got to take the controls with the trainers assistance and fly for 15 minutes towards Kennecot Coppermine. It was an amazing addicting experience! I couldn't believe how touch the controls were and big movements with controls would almost knock us out of control.
It was better than any rollercoster I have ever ridden!

Wedding Day Slideshow

Lame ducks!

We just got wifi but it isn't quite strong enough to reach our house so we sit in the back yard like geeks!

Tough officer jackson has a soft side with his baby.

Wife beating husband with whip? Or wounds from thinking we could play basketball? So neither one of is steller at ball, we love the sport but just arent good at it. So instead of making 3 pointers in a hoop, we thought we would spice it up by chucking the ball into the cold river, to see who could fish it out! Well brett won that competition, as he dug thru a thorn bush and fell into the ice cold water up to his bum all in efforts of retrieving our ball from the water.

Basketball's are NOT life preservers!

So with my huge stick in hand I sturdied myself and reached out almost touching the basketball in the raging creek. Just as I grabbed the ball the bank of the creek gave way and I fell in up to my butt cheek. Luckly I grabbed the ball, didn't get my phone wet in my pocket and got out safe and sound. The neighbor dog(size of horse) barking at me the whole time and also the thorn bush I had to go through were no obstacles that could stop me from getting our 4 dollar basketball!

P-I-G

So TIara and I decided to go downtown Park City and purchase us a new basket ball for our basketball hoop in our driveway on the side of the driveway next to the creek. So we found a dandy one for four dollars brought it home and decided to play pig. I said Tiara you go ahead and take the first shot with our basket ball on our hoop. This is the first time someone has played basketball on it since we lived here.

So Tiara took the first shot and missed and then went to take her second shot and just before she let go of the ball I said, "don't let it go in the creek!" of course as soon as the words left my mouth the ball air balls and heads straight in to the creek. Which with spring run off is running very fast. We both scramble and start running down the stream until we got blocked by some trees and brush. So we took off running down the highway with Tiara in front and Brett close behind carrying a huge stick. Oh what the people must have thought with a boy chasing a girl running down the highway both of them screaming and one behind with a huge stick!

So we ran down the street and found the next bridge but no ball in sight. It must have been stuck in the brush on the side of the stream. So we started up the stream in the thick brush to find our 4 dollar wal-mart basket ball! Behold to our surprise it was stuck under a branch on the other side. This is the picture of what it looked like.

NO FEAR!! My sister Sevana, her husband and their kids came to kamas to visit their tewawa and bet! And since we live in the mountains and it snowed on wednesday we took them to the (inside) kamas pool! They loved it! But were very sad that uncle brett had to work. :(

Open terrain!

My brother and I took a ride today starting at mantua and ended up looking down into pineview reservoir. It was an awesome ride we tried to make it to the top of Willard peak but ran into snow. But then we found miles and miles of open trails. It was a good day!

What a nice day to get away!

What a day playin in the mud atop the beautiful mountains everything is so green!

What the...

Would this help your business sell cars by putting a 40 foot alien outside your car dealership?!

This is also the same dealership a couple weeks earlier that tried to make us feel guilty by saying he was a good family man and was a counsler for kids and provided community service and that's why we should buy a car from him... He didn't even tell us anything about how good the cars were! So avoid 40 foot alien!

A week vacation in jamaica and this is the result of not doing laundry before we left.

Jamaican Baby mon! No problem mon!

So let me tell you about my wonderful Thursday... It all started at 2:30 in the morning when the alarm went off in mine and bretts hotel room. So i rolled out of bed and packed my bags to climb onto a bus that had to drive an hour and a half to the montego bay airport. I then had to wait at the terminal for an hour or more for a plane was to take me to miami. As we hit the soil of florida i looked at my boarding pass for my connecting flight which read departure time 11:15a thinking im making good timing beatre my phone said 10:00. I make it thru the hustle and bustle of immigration and customs. Now on to baggage claim where i wait and wait and wait... And wait! No bag! I look at the clock and its 11:00! And i still have to recheck my bag and find my gate. Finally at ten after my bag drops down. I grab it and run! I looked like i was trying to sneak across the border sprinting with a paniced face! I check my bag and sprint across the three day hike of the airport and get my terminal at 11:29! Crap i had missed it for sure! I take a seat to catch my breathe and keep from crying or laughing because my emotions we mixed up from being so tired...when a voice from heaven sang down to me saying, Now boarding flight number 1518 to nashville tennessee! Yes! I hadn't missed it after all. The plane was leave coming in. So in celebration i go grab me more airport food and go take a pee. Its now 2:00pm and im in nashville waiting for my next flight to chicago and then from there finally to home! Where I will arrive at around 9 or 10. Oh and did i mention that i am alone and have been from the time i stepped onto the bus, because brett had to stay in jamaica and finish work. This is the first time ever i have had to fly and handle an airport alone! By the way brett i love you, but you are never booking my flights again! :)

Breakfast of jamaican champions!... A tasteless muffin that who knows how old it is because it came from an airport vendor in jamaica at 3 am!

Leavin on a jet plane!

Flight 654 on its way to Jamaica...everything is irie mon!

Uh what who is Tiara Parker?!

So we got up at 3:30 this morning to get to the airport to catch our flight to Jamaica. Way to early with only three hours of sleep! So we get car parked and get ready to check in and realized we had booked Tiaras ticket with her married name and her passport says her maiden name! Crap. So they told us they would charge is 100 bucks to do it if they could. I winked and smiled and said ok. Luckly she was able to and didn't charge us anything. I know it was the wink!

Start of memorial weekend!

Today we visited Tiara's fathers grave. We got a cool little John Deere tractor and put some dirt in the bucket(dirt was my idea!) it was a nice day. We laid back and watched the clouds go by. We saw a dragon, a kangaroo, and a cow playing the guitar! Tiara found the guitar playin cow... She is so creative! One day before our trip to Jamaica!

Do you have tickets to the gun show?

He knows how to melt the girls hearts!

This is my stud of a nephew wyatt...he's so adorable they want him in abecrombie and fitch mags!

She makes fun of my mask!!! But really she is the princess monkey always preening me! Rest well my little sweet princess monkey!

Pick a new name for our car!

What should we name this blue beaut!? Leave a comment with your favorite name we should pick for our car.

Good bye exploder

Happy 3 month anniversary Tiara! Today we traded Tiara's blue ford explorer or "exploder" for a nice new Aggie Blue 2007 Chevy Cobalt! Man I hate spending on big ticket items! It took us weeks to decide! We drive salesmen nuts. Good thing this one was patient! More pictures of the new blue beauty to come...

No i think he is ZORO!

I think im married to batman?! And if not then he is just pampered!! SHH... Dont wake sleeping beauty!

Get the life rafts out! This river is a ticking time bomb!

Plantin our herbs with our green thumbs!

The snow has finally melted... At least for this week. So Tiara and I started our garden! The picture was a little dark but we plan on doing some more green thumbin tomorrow! We have no idea how well a garden will do this high in the mountains, but we are bound to try.
PS how come she gets to plant and I have to do all the diggin!! ;)

I love my job! Im getting said to look at this guy all day!

Starting a little early with their truck driving days!

Latin bus!

So this is the line of Hispanic kids that we waited 10 minutes for them all to load. In another place it took two buses to pick up all the kids! This population is the backbone of our city and many other cities throughout the US! What would happen if they were all deported... Our economy would die without them!

Stop the insanity!

So we were going to plant flowers today for fhe... Can't do that very well with a couple inches of snow on the ground! There was no snow when we went to bed and the grass was green and the trees were starting to bud. But oh well maybe summer and spring will come next week. :(

We did have a nice weekend. We went to my families on Saturday. Then Tiaras family on Sunday. We went to church with Geoff and Sevana. While at church I was holding there youngest baby and we walked into church with them into Sunday school. I was playin with the baby and we walked in late and I thought Geoff and Sevana sat up front and I sat down next to who I thought was Tiara, after I sat down I looked over and realized I had sat next to Tiaras sister. So I stood up embarrased and said oops wrong wife. It was pretty funny. All I saw was blond hair and a bright colored shirt! I thought it was my wife?! Lol.

I never know what My students are going to show up looking like for school!

What the...snow!

So its the first of May right?! I thought it was till I awoke this morning and found 2 inches of snow! It was nice warm weather when I got home from work last night, the grass was green and I even got to do some yard work making the yard nice and beautiful... Or attempting! So I guess I will get the cars snow brush off and freeze my butt off scraping that snow I thought and hoped we were done with!
