Jack Hammer

Jack has picked up the pogo stick recently and is all over the place jumping to his hearts content. He went through some dirt like a jack hammer today. Sorry, I am falling asleep and must needs call pass pu.  Sorry all, I can't keep my eyes open. Must sleep.

Hobart Hernia

I should have taken a picture but that didn't happen so I will just have to explain it.  When we moved into the restaurants current location 3 years ago we inherited some equipment. One of the items we got was this rather large Hobart mixer. It doesn't actually work and it was not something the repair guy had a lot of hope in fixing. We finally asked the landlord about it and he said we could get rid of it if we wanted to. Today Tyler and I tried to move it. We got it over to the door but had no hope of getting it up the stairs. Some genius that writes a daily blog had the idea that we could tip it over on the stairs and slide it out on its back. That genius should stick to writing his bad blog posts because this idea was anything but genius. It was a disaster. After a few hours, a major machine oil spill, removal of a few parts I finally borrowed a floor jack and we managed to get it standing back up and out of the door way.  I don't recall if I have ever lifted something that heavy. Oh my.

Flags and things

This morning started early as I had to be up the street to help take young men around to set up flags for the holiday. It was cool outside and the sun had not come up yet. Anyway, we had a small group this morning but we got it done.  I do like to see the flags out on the street. Our street is completely covered and I love it.

Took care of a couple really old projects that involved some painting. It was an old secretary and a chair.  Nice to be almost done.  Had go cart projects that were fun

A Stroll to the Temple

We had a little time this evening so we took a little stroll to the temple. We enjoy the temple and It is fun to see the progress. I wasn't supremely confident that the kids would make it from our house, not without a lot of complaining. We drove up to the folks house and walked from there which worked out well. There was minimal complaining. We also visited with the folks and played with Sam for a while. Good times.

Baptism, Ordinations and Backsplashes

We got up early this morning and set out on the road to Springville for the baptism of one Anna Fontano. It was a great baptism. Following the baptism Jayson and Jaykob received the priesthood and were ordained as deacons.  Pretty dang awesome. Afterwards we went and hung out at Jay and Sara's for a few hours.  We enjoyed lunch and visiting and ping pong cup basketball because we have to find something like that to do whilst visiting.  Anyhow, I always enjoy hanging out with the fam. 
Tonight I had a little spare time so I got the first coat of epoxy on the backsplashes.  I am looking forward to getting them done and installed.  I've attached a pic of the backsplashes.  They will look great when they are finished and installed.

Friday Night Football

Had a great time tonight at the Cedar High vs Canyon View football game. The game was excellent.  I love working the sidelines and this should be a fun year.  Holy cow though, I can't stay awake.  Must call it a day.

Back In

I'm not sure what happened to last nights post. I just got on to do today's entry and it was showing up as a draft. I went ahead and fixed that.

Today I am back in school. The summer break was wonderful and I am not quite sure how excited I am right now to be back in but it is what it is.  I guess like other first days of a semester I experienced the gut rot at the thought of the work load. It all just seems so painful.  Hoping things get easier as I become more aware of the goings on at WGU.

Anyhow, we are back in school. It is a good thing
