Getting Rad with the Nieces and Nephews

Two weekends we took a small trip to Salt Lake for a friends wedding with a bonus of visiting these guys who are just awesome. 

Also we've been letting this guy into our bedroom more recently.  Usually he just runs and hides under the bed but now he's decided he's taking over the top of the bed.  He even decided to take a nap on my Seersucker suit after church on Sunday.  My mom and dad came down to visit last week for a day and they finally got to meet him.  I included a picture for you guys to get a sense of how big he is now. 

To be fair though my mom is only 5'1"

The Franchise

Mike and I have talked a lot about things we could do with our lives. See, he is applying for different programs and has his whole graduate career ahead of him, and I...well, I daydream about doing something other than my current job (which is awesome! and I love it! and so grateful I have it! but maybe not something I want to do for the next 30 years of my life)...so we talk a lot about random ways to make a bunch of money.

It has come up a few times that we should just buy a bunch of fast food franchises a la the Tuohys. Problem is you need a lot of start up capital. Too bad -- so this remains a pipe dream. But anyway, this conversation happened today while eating IN and OUT.

Me: "Dude, do you know how fat we would be if we owned a Little Cesear's? "

Mike: "Dude, do you know how fat we would be if we owned any franchise, let alone many franchises?"

Me: "Yeah like adding on a Taco Bell"

Mike: "Oh yeah, double deckers all the time? Or a McDonalds? I would eat Big Macs all the time"

Me: "Hmmmm taco bell..."

Both: Laughter

No Time to Count!

To make up for my lack of pictures and post I went out and shot a bunch today.  Enjoy!

Another Rainy Day

Neglected

Last spring we got this bad boy.  Since the weather is so awesome here I had visions of me grilling all summer long.  For it's maiden voyage we'd thought it'd be nice to cook Whit's mom an nice mothers day meal.  Well unfortunately it didn't go exactly how I envisioned it.  The problem is that our deck is about an 8x5' box and the minute I started up the charcoal it created a nice 8x5' hot box.  The smoke wasn't going anywhere.  So I decided to bring out the fan and blow the smoke out.  While it helped somewhat it really didn't help all that much.  What I was really afraid of was someone calling the fire department since it really looked like our apartment was on fire.  Needless to say I've been hesitant to use it since so it has just been sitting there collecting dust.  Maybe I'll try to use it again this summer but probably not since the last thing I want to see is a firetruck pulling up in front of our apartment building.
