My brother Rob

Im very proud of my brother Rob. He is a Capitan in the U.S air force and has worked very hard at everything he has done for them. Just recently i visited him in Vegas where he was doing a special training. I cant explain everything they did there but all you need to know is that only 12 people in the whole air force get picked to do this training and it is real intense! Out of the 12 only 10 made it through and it was a 15 week long training in Vegas. Since we are just a drive away i cruised down their with my sister to see him graduate from the training. Way to go Rob. Ofa lahi atu.

Jack Johnson is the shiz

So last night my sister watched the kids (all three of them! Thanks sis) and Mandy and I went to see Jack Johnson at the Usana Ampetheather! So much fun. That place is huge. Holds easy 20,000 people. Before the show there where booths to visit around the venue that taught you about being "green" and saving the world...that type of stuff. One of the cool things they had there was a photo booth where before you take a picture you have to push a button where you commit to do something. Honestly i cant remember the commitment hahaha but we took a fun picture. Wish we could have gotten a copy but the next best thing did happen. They picked a hand full about 20 pictures from the day and flashed them up on stage during the show. Mandy and I totally got our picture shown up on the stage! Can you say FAMOUS? LOL!

We had so much fun, singing along, and dancing. Jack was epic. He sounds so solid live and the stage lights and videos where amazing. Very inspiring and just what i needed. I didnt have a decent camera so we got camera phone shots of the night. I'll spare you the bad photos and just post one :). JACK IS THE MAN!!!

Bucket List

Check out my grandpa jumping out of an airplane.



way to go gramps :)

Silly rabit keds are for...um...anyone?

Sorry lame title i know BUT pretty dang cool website. Check out: Keds.com (thanks for the tip Lindsey). Now i've never worn a pair of ked shoes but what i like about this site is that it allowed me to create my own design and look on a frikin shoe! Way easier then drawing on one i'll tell you what! :). So im just getting started on this site but here is a look at what my first run was. Feel free to tell me what ya think?



So i designed them loaded them up and placed my design, i even saved it and loaded it to a store somewhere so if you want to get a pair or start designing your own check out THIS LINK. I think someones got to approve it or something. At any rate, it was fun and if i was ballin enough to pay 60 bucks for shoes that probably wont fit my tongan wide feet i might actually buy one :). For now im just liking being able to design on a cool canvas. Aloha

Jakeys First Day of School

Jakeys pretty excited about starting school. He only goes for 3 hours but he is all about doing school and hanging out with little friends :). We took him to school this morning. All the Kindergarten kids lined up and met their teacher. They got name tags, made a train line with hands on each others shoulders, and made their way into class. Man i cant believe my little boy is starting school! I'll post later on how he felt about his first day too. Heres some pics for ya too.

Guess Whos Going to Coldplay!

I got tickets to COLDPLAY!!! They are hitting SLC in November. Still aways off by my seat is solid and im totally there!!! My life will be revolving around these tickets in November thats for sure. Mandy and I will both be going and we will have wonderful baby sitters. Cant wait. Next up is Jack Johnson in two weeks from today! Super siked cause i always said the three bands i have to see before i die (knock on wood) are Jack, Coldplay, and Dave. If you know know me well enough you'll know who Dave is :).

Enjoy this new music video from my favorite band.

1 year in 2 mins

Alright. So if this actually loads and plays for ya let me explain what it is. It hell air re us!!!! Go figure on the last day of my security job i find this video editing software that allows me to make videos! Wish i had found that months ago when they shut down the internet at work haha. Anyways, so i quickly grabbed some of my favorite moments caught on camera and put it together in tribute to my security job. This basically runs through my long day from getting to work in the early am to trying to entertain myself hahaha. Fun stuff and i hope you enjoy it.

Breakdown

- I get to work before half the city even wakes up.
- Turn on all the lights in the building.
- Make Coffee (i dont drink it though) :). Its for the workers. Kind of gives us something to do when we get there.
- I walk around and act like im looking for anything out of the ordinary.
- The bulk of my day is sitting at the front of the building with NOTHING to do but stay alive and stay awake which believe it or not is harder then you think LOL.
- Randomly i might catch a lady fall on her face or get to make copies and do a little penguin dance haha, but most the time im just trying to do something dumb in front of the cameras and not go crazy.

It was a good year, the company was great, but i am super stoked to not being doing that any more.

YEE DOGGY!

School Starting Weekend

This weekend we have Mandys mom in from Billings and Mandys Niece Emma hanging out with us. Jakey had his screening for kindergarten on Friday. He had fun and the teacher didnt seem worried about anything. Jakey said he messed up on numbers and letters but he said he really liked rhyming. Thats my boy. I'm all about having creative kids :).

We did some school shopping this weekend too. Got Jakey hooked up and fresh to def thanks to some help from Grandma Rae. He got some new shoes and to try them out he pull a sonic the hedgehog and ran around the store at full speed haha. He is very excited for school and hit new kicks and cloths.

I on the other hand just hope he has so much fun. My little boy is going to school!!!!!! Crazy. Pretty emotional for me actually. It'll be fun to watch and help him go through school though. Your the man Jakey Boy!!
