September has been the "Biggest & Greatest"
On the 21st I took a day trip to Reno "The Biggest Little City in the World". I had a blast I won $9 on the craps table at the Eldorado Casino right before I had to leave. So I cashed out bought 2 Red Bulls and a souvenir poker chip for Raquel and caught a flight back home.
On the 26Th we went and saw "The Greatest Show on Earth". It has been years since I have been to the circus. It brought back memories of going with my grandma who passed away a few years ago. Caden loved it but was a little distracted with his crazy light toy that he had to have.

August
August is hotter than Hades The 4th we kicked off august with “Crepe’s & The Cave”. We started early at our house with a luscious Crepe’s breakfast with different fruit combinations and Brazilian Strawberry Limeade.
After breakfast we got ready to hike up to
the day than we planned and had to wait about an hour to get on the trail. We ended up hiking up in the middle of the afternoon. Th
e hike up was like climbing out of Dante’s Inferno it was so fetching hot! The hike was awesome once we got inside the cave it was nice and cool (45 degrees) which
My son Caden (4 years old) did really good but was wiped out on the way down and had to be carried.
All in all it was a blast we might have to do it again.

On the 14th we emptied Caden's Bank. he has been saving all t
he loose change around the house to fill his bank (an old artichoke jar). After 8 months he filled his jar so we emptied it and got him a roll of silver quarters.
Later that day my sister courtney & I went to the American Fork classic car show. Plenty of great photo opportunities.
On the 27th I got on a plane and headed for the "Windy City" Chicago is truly my kind of town!! We ate at Hot Doug's I had a Kangaroo Sausage and Crawfish dog. They were both great. We walked around down town saw Millennium Park & The Mag Mile.
On the 30th we all piled into a Subaru wagon and drove from Chicago Il. to Ann Arbor Mi. to watch the Running Utes hand Michigan Their asses on a silver platter in the Big House.
On the 31 we returned to Chicago to watch the Cubs play the Phillies in Wrigley Field. Sitting in the bleachers felt more like sun bathing with drunks than watching a baseball game but I had a great time.

July
July has been awesome so far:
On the 3rd I went to the Poison concert and afterwards went to "Club Mint" and "Green Street" Pretty sweet. It was good times.
On the 4th Caden Raquel & I went to a picnic at Salem Pond. Then we watched the Thanksgiving Point fireworks with baby Ashton and the Glodowskis.
On the 12th we decided to go have a midnight jam with our guitars up American Fork Canyon. It was all pretty groovy till a mama bear came out of the bushes and told us we were being too loud for her sleeping kids. I took some cool pictures of embers coming off the campfire.
On the 13th we went to the firework show at Weber State. I got to meet Lead Belly he owned 7 of the cannons that they light off during the 1812 overture. To bad the only cannon I ever had was a potato canon that smelt like french fries every time I lit it off. Thier cannons were really cool I might have to go see them again up at Deer Valley on the 19th.
