Cletus Take the Reel!!!

Shift Happens

Pretty funny stuff.

Last but not least. Still Spring break

The last day of our trip we went to pt. Loma in SD this is where you can see the end of the world all of San Diego and also tour the light house and the small musem on all the spanish explorers and settlers. We saw the cemetary and saw a movie on whales and saw some fantasic sights. I know you bloggers are so amazed at how many pix I took of our trip and to know that all of this was done in 3 whole days. Thanks for the memories!

We also did some sight seeing and tourist kind of stuff. This is so perfect and if their wasnt the huge cloud of fog we could have seen the Whale pods as they move up north for the winter. Too bad. Really old men were hiking down this cliff side to go surfing in the ocean down below. I mean really old men!

Body Worlds, still.... Spring Break.

We went to the most fantastic display at Bal Boa. The human body is truly amazing and to see it with out the skin was so enlightening. My favorite was the display on the female body and the stages of birth. they showed all the stages of a fetus up until birth and even had a baby inside a mother on display. Pretty sweet stuff.




We also rode bikes down the breeze way. Mexico was just a few miles away. Brad is amazing. He loves to be out and active.

This awsome grumpy face is of Brad who has just lost to ME! Really, I am extremely overweight and havent played at all for years, he fought a good fight and then he lost! Brad is not a very good looser. I almost lost just so he would like the game and not throw a tantrum for the rest of the morning.




This is a resturant called Anthony's its off the coast in downtown and it has the best fish and cowder. Serious it could compete with Bostons! We walked sea port village and of coarse had to go see the harley store. Brad got this sexy dragon hat that he looks fantasic in. And if any one wants some new sexy leather stilettos. Harley has the CUTEST pair.

This pix needs explaining. Yes there seems to be couple who just feel like this need to get married on the beach. Weird that their isnt two witnesses huh? isnt that a rule? Yeah that is my FATHER is the background walking. He wanted to show this pix to his Marriage class to prove a point about the sanctity of marriage.

Trips to Cornado always have to have a few key traditions. Hotel Del is on of them. We always tour the hotel and see the HUGE flowers on display and walk the shops. The only thing that we could ever afford was the candy store and they shut that down years ago. Dont know why it was always packed!




On sunday dad let me teach the lesson. I went over my mish and some church history stuff because thats whtat we are studying this year. After we packed up a lunch and took off to Balboa park for a picnic at the park. We sat under the flight path for SD airport so every 30 seconds a HUGE plane was comein in to land. We can frizbees and a bunch of fun park stuff. And we also can forget the couple that made out for THE whole time we were their. wow. get a room... or a life...

Really we had such a blast this past week for calli. The family was kind enough to allow us to impose on there Calli spring Break. Brad isnt really a huge calli fan, only that he served his mish in Northern calli, but after the week was over both of us really didnt want it to end. We had only a few days to spen in calli so we played hard and had a really great time! These are some random pix of the USS Midway that is now as museum in Down Town SD. We did the tour and I took way to many pix. Also, a HUGE statue of a couple in the Navey Kissing. Linds was saying that she just learned about this stautue in school. Guess it has some importance and background to it.




These are the cute girls, that were fun to be with in calli. They spent the days getting burned and grooming... so that they could show off to all those rich retired navy people. funny girls!

Picnic with the poppies

It was such a perfect day and Brad was off of work early so we went on a fantastic adventure/drive through Usary Pass and up by canyon lake. Serious, so beautiful I think Brad is starting to change his mindset for hating and despising AZ just a little now that he has seen what AZ has to offer. Come on! check out the clouds?! and The flowers were everywhere! and really the desert is covered in Green! At least for now, IM sure when temps hit over 110 degrees I will be taking back all of this post!

How Much Trash Gets Thrown Away Each Year? March 20th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

“Each year, the typical American family throws out 2,460 pounds of paper, 540 pounds of metals, 480 pounds of glass and 480 pounds of food scraps.

All told, each of us throws away more than 1,200 pounds of trash per year, far more than people in most other countries.”

How is that possible? 2,460 pounds of paper? Ha, we know where that comes from, the junk mail that comes to your house even if you don’t want it. 80 percent of what is thrown away gets put into landfills, which makes it of no use to anyone but the earth, who really doesn’t want it. The other 20% is split in 2; 10% gets recycled and 10% gets incinerated. 10% is recycled? That’s a sad percentage!

Want some more statistics on trash? I know you do:

The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough to heat 50 million homes for 20 years.

Each gallon of gas used by a car contributes about 19 pounds of carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere. For a single car driving 1,000 miles a month, that adds up to 120 tons of carbon-dioxide a year.

About 110 million Americans live in areas with levels of air pollutants the federal government considers to be harmful.

Americans dump 16 tons of sewage into their waters — every minute of every day.

Americans throw away 25 billion Styrofoam coffee cups every year, and 2.5 million plastic beverage bottles every hour.

Americans throw away about 40 billion soft drink cans and bottles every year. Placed end to end, they would reach to the moon and back nearly 20 times.

Eighty-four percent of a typical household’s waste — including food scraps, yard waste, paper, cardboard, cans, and bottles — can be recycled.

Using recycled paper for one print run of the Sunday edition of The New York Times would save 75,000 trees.

America’s refrigerators use about 7 percent of the nation’s total electricity consumption–the output of about 25 large power plants.

Lehi Days Rodeo

While Brookies parents are out of town, we kidnapped the baby and took off to the yearly Lehi days rodeo. We had such a great time. We saw some family and Brookie got to play with some fuzzy cute animals. I am always so impressed with how young some of the kids are that participate in the rodeo. A four year old barell racing is amazing. We saw calf dressing, barrel racing, and the drill team. Brookie was so great and she loved being outside with so many fun animals!
