How To Carve A Pumpkin

I did the sketching, josh did the carving, and jack tried to eat everything that came out of it..

I'm Ready For My Close Up Mr. Deville....

Jack is sort of ALL Hollywood- which goes really well with his new attitude he has of being quite demanding and throwing fits when he doesn't get when he wants...

So as I was frantically driving back from West Valley- (because I don't know where anything is out there and rely strictly on the grid system to get OUT...) I passed this festive looking restaurant called "Parrothead Island Broiler". It's on 4700 S. just west of I-15. I came home and googled the thing, and found that it's a franchise only in Utah. It looks absolutely delicous..especially some of the Pupu's... (appetizers).

Any of you who have been, please give a report. Those of you who haven't...call me and let's have a luau.

For those of you who are interested, we are having our now annual Halloween Party. All who came last year, have been blessed, and may return for more blessings. Those who are new to the event, are sad. Cause they missed an awesome party last year. The date has been determined, and we are planning on Friday, October 26. Most likey around 7. Yeah, 7:00pm sounds good.

Requirements are as follows:

Please come in costume. It's the whole point. If you don't have a costume, put a hat on, draw something on your face, or write something on a tee-shirt.

Bring family and friends. The more the merrier.

Please come.

I hope to see you all there. Here are some of last years attendees:

God Bless Dora

For some reason..because I don't quite grasp it, Jack has fallen in love with Dora. He gets so excited when it comes on and yells "DOOOOOORRRAAAA" (alot like Boots does, frequently on the show.)

In grocery stores I will all of a sudden hear "DOOORRRAAA" and Jack will have spotted her in some crazy spot like on paper cups or something.. and it happens other places as well.

We have been blessed with Comcast On Demand, and Jack can now watch Dora WHENEVER he wants, even if it is the same episode over and over...

My favorite is the Halloween one, when Boots is a Fire Chicken.

Rotten Neighbor

Though our neighbor problem has been MORE than solved, I found this site and decided it isn't too late to "report" them. There is so much to say really, from the constant stomping, to the running, and the screaming, and the foreign yelling, and the disgusting smells that flow into our apartment, and the LATE NIGHT fights......

I figure that if anyone is planing on moving into the "Triton Heights" community, they ought to know what they are getting into.
