Apache County Fair | Horse Races

So we didn’t get any pics or anything from the fair, but Amanda did get to eat the Navajo Tacos that she had heard so much about. I even got to eat the tacos that are ingrained into my childhood. Still the best! We bought everyone lunch (Tacos of course), and then headed home so Amanda could study for her tests she had. We’ll let you know how that all turned out.

SJ Football Game

We went to the RV vs. SJ football game last friday with my lil’ sis and my dad. There was not a seat at the field to be found so we stood on the track the whole time. I randomly went to the local paper’s site and looked at the sports page and there we were. Ya we aren’t in focus, but on the left of the picture you will see myself, Amanda, and my Dad.

*UPDATE: Just to clarify, i’m the one with the shiny bald head… In case you couldn’t tell.

Labor Day Rodeo

Real quick, here’s a few pics from Labor Day. We had a great time and hope everyone else did asd well. Amanada and I ended up in the Timer Shack running the rodeo. We gave out a ton of extra stuff that we had received over the season, so we were playing all sorts of games giving them away. We had a little roping at the end to have fun and here’s a few pics of it. Ya know you wanna click on ’em. Afterward we enjoyed hanging out with Clancey and Kody for the weekend. Clancey and I even roped on Monday morning before he took off back to the valley. We got about everything cleaned up on Monday and it was back to the norm after that.

School is in swing and we are trying to adjust. I think Amanda is doing much better than me in that department. Check out http://www.wonderfulwesterns.com to see the year end pictures from the Rodeo.

Two for the Road…

We made a trip down to the valley before school started (today, actually) for a few things. First off, and the reason for the trip, was that we went to Show Low to kinda have one last day away ((little did we know)) and on the way there our tire went WAY low. This was the other tire that Discount was supposed to have checked in Denver. Anyways we got a used one for it and decided to make the trip down to the valley and get it fixed.

We got down on Friday night and stayed with Aunt Mary. We swam in her pool which was awesome! It is a natural salt pool and feel great to swim in. Saturday we ran up to Crown of Life and I did some work for them up there including a new computer I built for them. After that we had lunch with Kody, and did a little work for Azstar. We had to get our wheels alligned so i hung out with the car and Amanda got to see Raelynn which was “muy bien”.

That night we went to Kody’s MCC football Scrimaage and then spend then evening with Riley and Shayla. Oh ya, and we bought a Wii Fit.

Sunday, we made the trip back to the west sided to see Jay Brownlow’s homecoming, and see Chad, Mindy, and the girls as well. From there we had lunch with Clancey and Kody at Texas Roadhouse which was awesome! It’s great to see that kid and get to talk to him. Miss him for sure. We drove home through Pinetop to get Luna where he was having his vacation at Green’s Peak. Arriving at home we hooked up the Wii Fit and found out that i’m Obese (thanks for the new news Nintendo), and played it ’til we decided we should head to bed. We both went to be with headaches and magically they both went away with the night’s sleep.

Fall Semester here we come!

Life of Pi | Work Review

So i’ve brought two books to work so far that i read in my down moments or when i’m building a new computer. After buying Life of Pi and wanting to read it for a long time I just closed it. I will admit it took me a while to get hooked on the book, but once it happened i couldn’t wait to get to work for those few pages i’d get to read. The ending is very, very interesting and left me wanting to have more to read on the next page.

Pretty much would recommend!

The Cuckoo’s Egg

Since i’m reviewing i’ll throw in the other book that I read so i’ll be all caught up. The book is a non-fiction account of an Astronomer’s account with tracking a hacker in his first job as a computer guy. I read it very fast because of the tecnical jargon and dated techonology that was being used.

I think we may have mistakenly gotten ourselves a parrot. She was just watching me work on my laptop, but i think the expression on her face is funny. Almost sour or something.

*update here’s our kittens. Amanda has been playing with them all day, and Luna has only been smacked a few times by Monster. In icanhascheezburger fashion, please leave what you think the caption for this picutre should be as a comment.
