X-Man

I didn't want to leave Xander out. As I was looking back through the posts I realized that I failed to mention Xanders birthday. His big day was the end of March. He is 4 years old now. He also finished his first year of preschool a couple of weeks ago. He's enjoying sleeping in. He must get that from Erika because I have a hard time sleeping when the sun is up. Xander likes to tag along to Jakson's Tee Ball practices and games. He usually tries to tackle the other kids. He's good at teaching the team concentration. It's hard to focus with Xander around, but he's a load of fun! Oh yeah, he threw up last night.

Slackers-R-Us

I am really getting bad at this! There is so much going on to consume my time that it's hard to find time to write anything on here! So, what has happened....Jakson had a Birthday. He's a big 6-year old now! We went to Bear Lake over his B-Day weekend with Erika's family. We go up every year for memorial day and it's always a great time despite being cold. It usually rains while we're up there and nobody dares get close to the lake for fear of hypothermia. One year it even snowed when we were there. Come to think of it, it snowed a little bit this year! We always bring home some yummy raspberry something or other. This year we got some Raspberry honey that would make a great piece of toast even more delectable!
Jakson also finished Kindergarten. Time for that boy to get a job! I kid, I kid... He is definitely excited for Summer. He made a bunch of friends through school and is excited to hangout with them over the break. He's also in the middle of Tee Ball season. He's one of the better players on the team. What would you expect from Joe's boy? Xander is also happy to have is brother around as well. He would get bored in the mornings with nobody around to beat him up.
Let's see, what else? Spencer graduated. I'm sure he paid off a few teachers to do it, but he made it! Skyler is donning the metal shackles next month. I think that's it for now. I'll have to add pictures later.

Congratulations! Screw you!

We made an offer on a house we loved back in January. We listed our house for sale about the end of January as well. After many months of waiting we get a call saying that our offer has been accepted! Unfortunately they said we had 2 weeks to close. We hadn't even sold our house yet so it wasn't looking like it was going to happen. After talking to a few brokers we figured a way that we could get the house. After a lot of thinking we decided that it would be too much of a pain and too stressful to have to worry about both houses. Long story short, we are still in the same house and someone else has moved into the house we love. We were a little bit upset about it at first, but we are confident that we can find other houses that we will like just as much. Life goes on and we have plenty of other things to worry about. In fact, it's almost like a weight has been lifted because after waiting and worrying about this new house for so long it's suddenly not an issue anymore! Lemonade my friends...lemonade.

Wham-O!

So after I got off work I picked up the boys from my Mama's house. They were hungry, as was I, so I took them to Taco Bell. On the way home we came to a round-about. I hate these things anyway. What is this? Paris? So, we stopped in the circle of death because the car in front of us stopped for someone crossing the street. We were stopped for about 10 seconds and just as I took my foot off the break....WHAMM-O! Apparently the girl who hit me was looking down another street and didn't notice we were stopped.
Luckily everybody was OK. Xander cried for minute because it scared him. The crappy part is that I was in the Mercedes at the time. It ended up at the shop for about 3 weeks. The shop did a good job, but we had to take it back like 3 times because they kept missing small things and leaving important parts of the car unplugged, like the radio antenna. If you need body repairs in Provo, Utah there are better places to get them done than University Collision. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the damage. Progressive was the company that was processing the claim and they did a fantastic job. The end.

B-Dogg, Susie, introducing Nate-O

It's been a while fo sho! We got a nice visit from some of our best friends from Cali. We got introduced to Nate Do-O-Double-G for the first time and he definitely lives up to the pics we've seen. He's a good lookin', healthy fella. Just like his parentals. B represented on RockBand and showed us how it's done. Susie could be the next American idol. And we'll lend them Jakson to be their bassist and throw Xander on the drums. It's always great to see old friends. Especially when they're Brandon and Susie!

Time to roll out!

We have officially listed our home for sale! If you know anybody that's looking for a nice home in the Provo area send them our way! We love our neighborhood, but it's time to move on. We only planned on being there for a few years. Since I work in Lehi and Erika works in SLC we thought we'd move a bit farther north. Since we're buying new gold rims for some guy in Saudi Arabia we want to try and cut back on gas usage. We won't be going too far though. We're planning right now on moving to the Lehi/American Fork area. We have an offer on a home in AF right now so hopefully that will work out. If not there's other fish in the sea. We figure it's a lot harder to sell right now than to buy! You can checkout the listing of our home on UtahRealEstate.com or BlueRoof.com.

Also, I've been wanting to post more frequently, but things have been crazy at work and that's usually when I try to throw some quick posts on here. More to come!

Rock out when you clock out!

I've added a little Guitar Hero 3 tribute to the music section. I wasn't sure what to change the music to since valentines is over. I added a few of my fav songs from Guitar Hero 3. I'm not saying I'm good at this game because I'm not...yet. I just don;t have time to play games. Jakson can kick my butt. Xander probably can too. I'll have to practice up a little bit and show those suckas who the king is! Bigg Poppa gonna represent! I'm gonna take these kids to school, the school of ROCK! I gotta teach 'em a thing or 2 about shreddin' a guitar. I might even bite the head off of a bat. You're right, I would never do anything like that. Ozzie didn't even mean to. He didn't think it was a real bat or something. Maybe he just said that later in life because he realized how disgusting that really was. You've got to have I dark soul, I'll tell you what! Anyway, enjoy the Guitar hero songs and don't forget to make any requests!
