This is "keeping the dream alive" by Münchener Freiheit a German pop band. I have always loved this song since high school. I Ran across it on You Tube and thought I would share. Enjoy.

Ode to My Toyota. :(

It was bound to happen, and it did! I finally rear ended somebody. I have never ran into someone before. The sad thing is that I wasn't even driving distracted-which I have unfortunately done before. I was going like 30mph and just couldn't stop in time when the car in front of me slammed on the brakes to avoid the car in front of him. I also had about 12 boxes of 18 inch tile in the back, which comes out to a little more than a thousand pounds. So, the front end wasn't the only thing that got damaged.

The Good News is that our insurance company gave us 15,444 and change for the truck after they totaled it. So, we are going to probably buy a Toyota Tundra Double Cab. That way we can fit more kids more comfortably. :)

I am not sure why but the girls love to play in enclosed spaces. One of there favorite places to play is in the kitchen cupboards. At our new house, because the kitchen is on steroids, we actually have some empty cabinets. For some reason they love to play in those. Anyway, here is a pic of Haddli up at Grandpa's house. She found a cabinet to hide in. So, cute!

Grandpa definitely loves his grandson! We went up to Snowflake for the football game and it was my Dad and Grandpa who held Hayydn the whole time. But, again how can you resist this guy, he is adorable!

Now that is one good looking kid! I can't wait to be able to do man stuff with my son. Not that I mind doing the girly stuff, but a little variety will be quite nice.

One word - Beautiful!

I have to say that I am pretty proud of how crazy my daughter is! Is that a bad thing - to encourage your daughters to jump off of stuff? We jokingly asked her to do a front flip, then we had to make sure she didn't actually try it. :)

Halloween at School

Hannah's class was allowed to dress up, but they had to be a character out of a book. Hannah was Sleeping Beauty. They then paraded around the school so everyone could see their costumes.

I don't know why, but I love this tree! It is close to the Paper Mill west of Snowflake, AZ. This past weekend as we were coming into town in the late afternoon there were some great clouds in the sky. I had to pull over and photograph it (even though my wife said absolutely not :) ). I am glad that I did because I think that the results are outstanding. It is interesting how anything can be beautiful if placed in the right light.
