Lisa’s 1st day of truck driving school

December 11th, 2011 by Lisa

I had quite the surprise on Saturday! Our neighbor Stephen (“Opa” to the kids) told me to come over at 8am for my birthday present. When I showed up he said, “I’m taking you driving…in my truck”. My birthday present was that he was going to teach me how to drive his semi, something I’ve always wanted to do!

We went to “the pit”, which is an old quary where he parks his trailer, and hooked up the trailer. He made me do all the work to get ready and then walked me through how to actually drive. Then for the next 10-15 minutes he talked me through driving the full semi and trailer around the pit!

While I could tell you more details, I think I’ll just let you watch the video…it was the experience of a lifetime and I couldn’t thank him enough!!!!!

Dust storm that came through town

July 6th, 2011 by Drew

Justin and I got hit by a massive dust storm right after he got out of swim practice. I managed to get some video, though the first one skips a bit. Still pretty amazing. Driving in it was a bit of a chore though…

Justin’s Swim Meet – 6/25

June 29th, 2011 by Drew

Justin did great at his swim meet! He swam in 4 events, got 1st place in 3 of them and only missed 1st place in the 4th because they were racing a 12 yr old in his heat as there were no other 12 year olds for the older class. Plus, HE BROKE THE TEAM RECORD FOR BUTTERFLY!

Here are the videos.

25 yard butterfly:

50 yard freestyle:

100 yard freestyle (the endurance race):

Our Hoover Dam Trip

February 27th, 2011 by Drew

Breaking the silence with a video. This is the project our family created for Justin’s school assignment. His assignment was to do a 3 minute presentation on something in Arizona. He wanted to do the Hoover Dam, so we made a weekend trip up North and this video is the result. Be kind, as all video and pictures were from our cell phones… ;-)

Justin’s friend Sarah came over and the kids all made gingerbread houses this morning.  While our boys will likely have tummy aches from eating the candy, I think the end result was great…and quite tummy looking! More pictures after the break…
