Congrats little bro- u did it!

Happines and releif..with just a touch of 'can-we-go-now'.

Celebrating.
Grad & Dad.

Can we handle the excitement? Not Miles, nor his cousins- only too happy to help hold the sign.

Grad +16 Elated family members.

A proud Isaac. His Hero: Dad.

*Karen, I was sooo tempted to put the sob-a-thon image up 'cause it's so sweet. But, I reconsidered since I figured you wouldn't love it as much as I.
No thanks nec.

Best o' the Best

Not sure u've ever read the'Best of Craigslist', but u are missing out on at least a chuckle, at most some belly laughs. 'Best' Browser Beware: screening is a must for those with delicate sensibilities. Since I am made of coarser stuff apparently, let me do the preview for u. This is the best of April, thus far. Read on, and ready your laugh mode:

FREE: Giant Lawn Ornament

FREE: BACKHOE ATTACHMENT
I have 1 free backhoe attachment. Approx wt. 1000-1500lbs. It has been sitting in my yard for the last 4 years. It came from someone else's yard for 8 years prior. Time for it to go.
Be the envy of your neighborhood with this in your yard. Put it out on the front lawn, that way everyone will see it. Your neighbors will be envious, and you will be proud.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF USES FOR THIS ATTACHMENT:

Have a neighbor who pisses you off?, Put it on the property boundry, that way he will have to look at this every day.
Need a place to tie the dog to for the day? He'll never move this thing.
When you have your 4th of July BBQ, This is a great conversation starter. You can brag how you will strip it, paint it, and how well this thing will work after you put all that work into it.
A lovely place to hang your tarp! Makes a unique cooler for that 4th of July party or trellis for those rambling briars. Bragging rights - yup, worth mentioning twice.
F.A.Q.

Q: Can u load this on my trailer?
A: No my wife is a wimp. It will have to be partially dismantled. I have a loader that can lift approx 500-700 lbs.
Q: Can u hold this for a couple of months till I decide I don't want it?
A: NO; 1st person to arrive gets it.
Q; Do u think my wife will be pissed if I came home with this?
A: No The only thing about this that will upset your wife, is that she did not find it first, that way she could surprise you.
Q: Would you be able to deliver this fine piece of equipment?
A: SURE; why not, if you like, I can also dismantle it, strip the paint off it, repaint it, lubricate it, deliver it, reassemble it, and make sure it is in fine working condition, all for a GEE, THANKS ALOT MAN.

In closing, this is free, you need to move it, it needs alot of work, it does have a value, but not to me. (THIS IS NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART, IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT THIS, NOT SURE IF YOU CAN FIX THIS, OR NOT SURE YOU HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS, DON'T BOTHER)
THIS COULD END UP BEING A GIANT LAWN ORNAMENT IN YOUR YARD. We've enjoyed it - now it's your turn.

Girl Time

Sorry ladeez- but these are the only fotos i got o' the occasion, and it must be documented for posterity, and myself when Alzheimer's/senility (whichever hits first) sets in. Sadly, we were few in number, but loud in voice, high in spirits, and to the regret of the employees, late in leaving. After all that, none of us are giving Napolitalia high marks foodwise. Seriously, that's the best pizza Utah County has to offer??

Happy Birthday Miss Jen (what? 29 again? Me too!)

I see everyone got the memo- Nice color conformity.

It only comes once a year...which seems all too often lately.
Livin it up anyway.

- luv ya!
