One of the coolest things I've done!

So... Jonnie, Nate and I are painting a mural for a pilot who's house is in the parade of homes this year. He wants a mountain scenenand so for research he took me and jonnie up in his plane. It was so much fun!! We even did ZERO GRAVITY! It was really neat because I was floating for about 5 seconds! This is on my list of coolest things along with:
-Rappelling in Cancun
-Petting sting rays in Grand Cayman
-Meeting Dave
-and skydiving




This is a little preview of the Mural so far... it's gonna get way better.

My Cute Little Yard!!!

So Dave & I bought our house in January and we have now landscaped it! I really love this house more than I thought I would! I like old houses, but when things are new it just feels so good.

Before: After!!!

The Day the Penis asked for a Raise

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:
I do physical labor.
I work at great depths.
I plunge headfirst into everything I do.
I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
I work in a damp environment.
I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.
I work in high temperatures.
My work exposes me to contagious diseases.

Sincerely,P. Niss

The Response :

Dear Penis:
After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:
You do not work 8 hours straight.
You fall asleep after brief work periods.
You do not always follow the orders of the management team.
You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.
You do not take initiative-you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.
You don't always observe necessary safety regulations,Such as wearing current protective clothing.
You will retire well before you are 65.
You are unable to work double shifts.
You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed assigned task.
And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.

Sincerely, V. Gina

Things I love about Ogden

Please help, my gnome has been kidnapped!

I can't believe the Wilcoxens kidnapped, I mean gnomenapped me! I don't know if I'll ever see this little guy again. I should have known those treats on my door last night were just a distraction so I wouldn't notice one gnome missing. Now I only have my red gnome, well actually I better go make sure he is still there!!!

Don't worry Wilcoxens I'll get you back, and lucky for me you guys have kids!! (oh just kidding, that would be messed up!)
