A mix of events

Who said it never snows in the desert? That person is an idiot!! It all started with me getting two text messages at work, one from B.J. and one from Alisa saying it was snowing. This is the most snow we as Nevadans have seen since 1979.



For my beautiful kids (pictured below) it was the first time they had seen this much snow in Henderson. Mallory couldn't get enough of the white stuff even though she was frozen like a Popsicle!

I just had to take this picture of this stupid palm tree! I hate palm trees and don't think that they belong here at all! I was hoping that so much snow would fall to take them all down. Speaking of down, some trees (including my neighbors) broke under the stress of the snow.

Our backyard




The boys and myself went to the off road race out at the dry lake bed. We drove the Polaris ranger all the way out there. We met my old friend Bobby Joe Davis out there who brought his daughters. I thought B.J. was going to lose his mind with those girls there. You should have seen him trying to be cool and not let his big grin with those braces get in the way. Anyway fun was had by all.


The truck below is driving by us at about 100mph. It gives me such a rush to that close to the action! At one point two buggies went by us, one trying to pass the other almost hitting me. Another 5' and I would've been toast.







B.J. and RL with a truck in the background going off the jump.







These vehicles going about 10' in the air and going about 60'















B.J. has become quite the stud here lately. We all woke up to B.J. yelling "look out front!" Low and behold someone had Tpd our house. A bunch of girls that have a crush on B.J. did it.












RL and Kellie helping out! Kellie in the tree and RL just yelling because he was too embarrassed to be out there. Alisa and I just laughed and thought about how cool it that someone would do this to our house.










B.J. with his plate of goodies that was left behind for him to eat. And to answer your question he did not share with us.







Well there you have it! Hope you enjoyed this blog!

Just a quick note!

Here is a quick note to let those of you out there who actually check out this sorry blog to read what is going on in this price home!

Alisa went to the Dr. today and she is diolated to a 2! The Dr. does not think that she will make it to her due date of the 30th of this month. She (Alisa) called me today as soon as she left the Dr's office with excitement in her voice as she told me the news. Although I know the excitement in her voice was just to have the baby out of her so she can breath!! You know us guys, I'm thinking, one more tax deduction!! Although on a sad note about the baby coming I have been thinking about a comment that my brother Jim made about the baby being with my mom! I know it sounds kind of corny but I do believe that my mom is holding this baby and loving her before she comes to us. I must do my best to teach the kids ( all of them) what a wonderful person she was.

Well, with Christmas just around the corner it's actually starting to get a little cold outside. I was starting to think that it would never cool down. It was really starting to make me mad! I Prefer the colder weather (probably because I'm so fat) but the heat just kills me anymore. The kids are all very excited about what they are not getting....haha!

Work is still going for now. I don't know how much longer I will have this job, but I feel so blessed just to be working right now when so many are not. The Lord has truly blessed us this year.

Well, tonight is Kellie's band concert and she has a solo. So I must go get my stinky butt in the shower so I don't embarrass her too bad.

Hope you enjoyed this little note.
