Aaron's 7th Birthday

Well it is Aaron's 7th birthday today, and he woke me up with a "guess what today is mom?" I mumbled "Happy Birthday" and rolled over and went back to sleep. I did get up a little bit later and make him breakfast. He was so excited for his birthday, he had to keep reminding us.

He got to have navajo tacos for dinner... his favorite, and he wanted applesauce cupcakes for his cake.




He was excited about his presents. He got Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (when he gets done reading it, he can see the movie,) Star Wars legos, a Pokemon game, more Pokemon cards (like he needs any more), and a Gamecube Game (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door).

MS 150 Cycling Event

Hello everybody, we just got back from the MS 150 up in Logan. Sean and Cody (a buddy from work) rode the entire 103 miles and Kirsten and I rode 75 miles of the course. It was a blast. We'll tell you more about it later, but in the meantime here are some pictures.

Okay Bryan, I'll post it over here too...

Bryan, this is what Spencer was referring to "My Jesse Venture Look".



It is originally posted over in Mindy's Blog.

Spurs Won!!!!

We were nervous after the last few games, but the home team pulled it off. WAHOO!!!!!

Does this picture work?

Here is Isaac trying to walk around in my shoes and pull dinner off of the table at the same time.

(we are experimenting to see how to post pictures)

I'm getting a new Mac

In September, my old G4 Tower will be 6 years old (I bought it in 1999)... so it's time to retire it as the main machine. It'll still be used, but Mindy and the kids will be the primary users.

So what am I getting?

One of the 20" iMac G5 with a 2Ghz processor is one its way here.



It has a 128MB video card, DVD Burner, and built in Wireless Internet and Bluetooth. Since its got Bluetooth, I took the option for the wireless keyboard and mouse. That's going to be such a blessing. No wires on the desktop!

Plus I'm getting a new printer (The Epson R1800) that can print images up to 13" wide (and as long as 44" long). Mindy's looking forward to be able to print her 12" x 12" scrapbook stuff.

In addition I also got an iSight. So now Bryan and I can have better video conversations (if he's ever online). Now if we can get Mom, Jared and Sean to get one...

Anyways, since this machine is small and semi-portable, I'll be bringing it to Utah with me so that I can get some work done while I'm there.

Hopefully this machine will last me another 6 years.

Hey, this is pretty cool. I've never been a blogger before. Maybe I'll get addicted. Kirsten and Ike and I are excited that you guys (Mike and Mindy and kids) will be heading to Utah. I should hopefully have my thesis wrapped up by then (keeping my fingers crossed) and I hope to be able to hang out with you guys instead of staring at a computer screen for about ten hours a day.

For "Chuckles"...

Happy Father's Day!!!!

Just wanted to pop in and post a quick shout-out to Dad.

Here we go...

Hey everyone. We're counting down... a little over 3 weeks and we will be able to see all y'all in Utah! Can't wait!
