Here is a short video (1 min/30 seconds) of pictures that were taken by Beau and Seth. While we were mad that they took the camera without asking, we thought that they took some pretty good pictures. We may have to get them a camera for Christmas. If you are wondering, the other boy in the pictures is our nephew Benjamin. The song is from an old Lance Armstrong – Nike commercial.
Redneck Saturday
These past few Saturday's have been kind of rainy and gloomy, but we have made the most of them! Last Saturday we were hanging out on the porch at Connie and David's house and then we fired up an old riding mower and one thing led to another. We started out by pulling the kids around in an old Barbie Hot Wheel Jeep. We found the jeep in a garbage pile on the side of the road! David then pulled me in the Jeep and then I pulled him around on some cart thing. After messing around with the mower for a while, we realized that it could do Wheelies! We didn't get it on film, but when he first started doing the wheelies, David tipped the mower and fell on his back and the mower almost landed on him! Near the end of this video there is a clip of the boys and me running around in a warm summer rain. When it comes to that clip just watch Seth. He’s crazy! As for the song, I know it's cheesy, but I thought it was good for a Beastie Boys song!
Rainbow at the temple.
In the past few years, The Community of Christ started doing a "Basement to Bell Tower Tour." It's pretty cool because they take you underneath the temple and in all the little hiding places around the temple. They took us up the bell tower and they let us climb up a ladder and take a few pictures from the top of the temple. The picture below is taken behind the fence at the top of the temple. It's a picture of the cemetery across the street.
I took a few pictures of this friendly cat. It was following us around and laying on all of the tombstones. The below tombstone has Joseph and Emma's twins that died at birth. I think the cat is a direct descendant of Joseph Smith's cat!
Mike clicking his heals in Historic Kirtland.
Here's another video of all our little adventures. We had Koby's baby blessing in June and Mom, Dad, David, Sarah, and Cory's family all came down for that. I also included two pictures of my father-in-laws motorcycle after his accident. If you didn't already know, a drunk driver pulled out in front of him and he T-boned the car and flew over the car about 30ft. He broke his wrist, scapula, pelvis, some ribs, and tore some other things. He's doing a lot better, but he still hurts. For those of you who know Bryce Hansen, I bought the bike from him and then sold it to Robert about 1 year ago. I was kind of attached to the bike, but now I see what kind of damage 1 little accident can do to you.
I also messed up on one of the captions for one of the pictures. It was supposed to say, "Run Owen, It's going to get you!" on the picture where he's running away from the large ant. I didn't want to resave the video and upload it again, so now it says it on a picture that Beau & Seth are in. Anyway, enough about that enjoy the video!
