Birthday Joke

What is the difference between God and a Doctor?



God doesn't think he's a Doctor!!

Birthday Wishes

How mean of me to tell you to call so we could sing to you and then not even be around!!! Happy birthday. We hope you had a great day. We were camping and weren't home. Anyway, thanks for being such a great example to us and for teaching us all you did.

My Daddy MD

My Daddy M.D.

Whenever Daddy signs his name he always writes M.D.
So that people will all know that he belongs to me
For M.D. means "My Daddy" or something just the same
And that is why he always puts these letters in his name.
Some letters in his name are small but these are not, you see,
He always makes them big like that because he's so proud of me.

Happy Birthday Dad/Grandpa

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
hope you have a great day and hope mom bakes you a delicious cake that doesn't make her lips taste like metal

we love you and miss you

Bangalore Bombings

I was on a plane to Singapore and am fine. No damage to the office and no staff harmed. More of a small nuisance bombing to try and disrupt the economy. Will have to wait and see what the impact to business will be.

Here are some photos of Asha and Bubs.

Newport Beach

We had a great time in California with Brett's family. We had a house close to the beach and were able to play and have fun. We should think about doing this sometime again (like San Diego). Anyway, just wanted to share a few pictures in case you haven't seen any. We even went to the Newport Temple, which was absolutely beautiful...

A Very Belated Birthday Wish

I meant to get this on sooner, but I have been busy--and was gone. But Happy Birthday to Johnny!!! I can't believe you are 15 and are probably close to getting your license-everyone stay off the sidewalks. Just a reminder that Dad's Birthday is coming up next ...

To my Brothers

Who stepped up and helped out during a very difficult, tragic situation and to their supportive families.... THANK YOU!

To the rest of my family. I love you guys! Sorry for being such a sentimental sap, but life is fragile and at times too short and you need to let the ones who matter most that you love them.

As I am having a new little one.

I thought this article on products to traumatize you new baby pretty funny.

Today we left the house to a mama moose walking down the street with her two babies. The kids were pretty excited. Well later that evening I was babysitting my niece Brinley and she wanted to see the dogs(suzie and daisy this week). So Alyssa and Logan took her down to the back yard on the east side by the deck. About 1 min later Bro. Hyde came by with his camera and asked if a saw the moose go down into the back yard just minutes before. I took off running down back after the kids. They were down by the dogs and the moose and babys were down in the raspberries. The mother was staring at us so I just picked the kids up and got out of there. The moose stayed around for a couple of hours eating cherries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, and much to Truman's dismay the grapes. We made a bunch of noise but they weren't going anywhere. I had some neighbors on the deck taking pic's with us. I'm not sure were they went but currently found their way back to the moose garden of eden and I am afraid by tomorrow (when fish and game are going to move them) there will be nothing left. It really is quite inviting, we have water, fruit, and shade. I do wish they would just eat the raspberries instead of laying in them. Christian is going to be sad come harvest time. I cannot find my camera and so all I have is my phone camera. When I get the pics off of it I will post them. I tell you between the skunks, deer, and now moose, I may as well be camping up here. I am grateful to the skunk who has sprayed all the animals for taking mercy on Chet last week when he met him right out the front door. He flipped his tail up but did not spray. Lucky Lucky man

Baby Name

We are thinking of naming our new boy Matteus. So how many of you can pronounce this (ma-Tay-uus) with a soft u (uuus or ooos not us)? Ivana is in a little maternal bliss frenzy. She has organized all the baby clothes in the lower 1/2 of the changing dresser and throughout the closet. She gets all twitterpated when she opens the drawers and stares longingly at the little shoes, onezies and clothes. Lucas looks at and thinks "Hey that is all my old stuff" and demands to be dressed in clothes that haven't fit him for a year.

Happy Birthday Ivana

I Love you babe! Thanks being you, and for the love you have for Lucas and I.

Facebook - To all parents

Parents,

Suggest you remind your children that everything on Facebook is able to make it's way into the public. Univrsity Admissions, Recruiters, Companies etc are known to look at candidates Facebook sites as part of thier background checks. More than once postings that were meant in jest or fun have come back to haunt the individual. I've already had a word with Boo about his Facebook site that he is letting Kyrie and her friends complete. Suggest the rest of you have a word with your children as this is the lattest missive I came across " i be a ho on the shmo" If you're fine with your child referring to themselves as a ho then more power to you.

Fly fishing with daddy

Took Lucas out on the South Channel of the South Fork above Twin bridges for lunch today. It is almost entirely de-watered and there are pods of rising (mostly white fish) in some of the deeper holes. He landed 3 white fish on a size 16 parachute pmd dry fly. He was using my 9 foot 5 weight. I think for next season I will get him a little 6 foot 3 weight of his own. We are looking forward to floating the South Fork on the daddy son trip in a couple of weeks.

In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.
