They capture all the fun moments....

My favorite sound bite
When one commissioner proposed to disallow the burning of used oil in an asphalt plant the chairwoman responded:
"I'm no tree hugger, but burning used oil ...that's earth friendly!"

Top ten!
Since I have yet to upload pictures and I am bored and going thru internet withdrawals, I decided to do a quick post.
TOP TEN THINGS I LEARNED THIS YEAR AT THE BEACH
10. How exactly sandcastles are made.
9. How much food 18 people will eat.
8. Not to be stubborn and just wear the sunscreen.
7. Not to tell a little kid to go pee in the ocean because they end up barely going in the water and pulling their pants down to show everyone.
6. Not to trust Jake when he says he is turning up the swimming pool (to be a hot tub)
5. How much I really want an underwater camera (but I would hardly use it)
4. Not to wear sunglasses out while boogie boarding. You think I would have learned this one by now.
3. How much fun it is being a blonde.
2. Not to play crazy uno at four in the morning...AND LOSE!
1. What exactly Jake will do in the ocean. ( To be continued....)

TRAGEDY!!!!
At 3:14 this morning Bernice, a young mother in the area, fell victim to a violent hit and run accident. Witnesses at the scene report that a large black SUV came out of the darkness and ran her down. After being hit and drug for nearly 1000 feet and then completely run over; the perpetrator fled the scene at a high rate of speed leaving her for dead.
Her friends who were with her reported that although they were not in a crosswalk they were using a route that Bernice had safely crossed hundreds of times before. One socialite claimed that Bernice froze as the SUV approached ....LIKE A DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS! She leaves behind many children, a herd of friends and lush green forage. She will be missed.
..........
This just in ..... Man reports that Ranchhand grillguard spared his SUV of any scratches or dents after hitting a deer at 70 mph with a fully loaded trailer in tow. UNBELIEVABLE!

Kitty play
Once again, Jake brought home kittens on Mother's Day. (for the kids) This has happened before. 
McKay named her yellow boy kitten Phillipe, Kirsten name her girl cat Belle....
....and Cruz name his girl cat Jack. I find the black / brown on her face puzzling. 
Possibly the "Jake" in her????

I didn't believe it til I saw it.
They call her the Neighborhood deer.
There is no need to be afraid.
She has a baby that is also part of the pack.
All she wants is love and food.
She will even let you take a picture (with flash).
I still find it quite amazing.
While in Utah this past week, we came across the neighborhood deer. Jake thought he was pretty cool when this deer came up to him in the front yard. His first thought was to tackle it. But this cute thing came up to him and wanted to be petted before he had time to act. I guess this deer and her baby wonders around this part of Eagle Mountain and just wants attention.
Katanya isn't quite so sure what to think. I love her eyes and expression. Cruz is okay as long as he doesn't get any closer.
