A few weeks ago me and Marcus went to the U of U football game and left Marek with my parents. He was so excited to stay with them that when we left he did not even cry he said bye bye mommy (first time ever)! He was a little excited because grandma told him she was going to take him to get a book at a fun little book store in Bountiful called All Tucked In - any book he wanted. Well he got some fun books that we have been reading non stop and then they went to another store and apparently he would not let her leave the store without this "honkin" di-na-snore...thats just how he says it! So here is it. He drags it everywhere, shows everyone that comes to our door it, and loves it to pieces! Thanks Grandma Jone & Grandpa John :)
So this is about the saddest post I have posted yet. In May I had the chance to buy myself a brand new car, 2009, Subaru Outback Sport. I love my car, I had been saving for quite sometime to get a new car and was as excited as a little boy at christmas time. So this morning, like all Saturday mornings in the Fall I have to go to work for about an hour or two. On my way there just about the end of Sardine Canyon, I work in Logan for those who don't know, I hit Bambi. Maybe it was Bambi's mom, I don't know. Let's just say that hitting a deer going 65 mph is not good for your car, whether it be new or old, and not so hot for the deer either. I saw the deer out of the corner of my eye and my first thought was, thank goodness, don't swerve, thanks for teaching me that Dad and Mom. I probably wouldn't be here if I did! My next thought was to BRAKE!!!!! But there was no time I hear a loud thud see Bambi go flying in the air doing flips my hood coming towards me, smoke start billowing out of the hood and my car shutting down. I pull over to the side of the road to realize what just happened. Oh no, the story does not end here. I sit and contemplate for a minute what is going on, then I realize my car is toast. All that money I saved, the great deal, gone! I look in front of me to see Bambi trying to stand up, well without all the graphic details lets just say that wasn't going to happen. Two men pull up in a truck to see if I'm alright, one decides that because the deer was still alive that he was going to shoot it, and so he did, with a pistol! Wow! Another guy pulls up a little later, shakes his head about the first guy and grabs the dead deer by the legs and pulls it in the weeds, wow wow! Did I mention this guy had a handle bar mustache and a cowboy hat and his parting words to me were, "you need one of these", pointing to his Ford F250. So, be that as it may, I still don't have a Ford F250, and at the moment I don't have my Subaru and Bambi is dead, how's that for a Blog!
So I hear Marcus outside laughing hysterically and he is saying "are you kidding me" he comes in the house with these 2 babies...apparently they were hiding under our huge zucchini plant and have been growing for some time. Marek posed for the picture and then they went straight to the garbage...I have been shredding and freezing zucchini for a month now and I did not want to even try to cut those suckers up. Every time Marcus brings one inside I ask Marek what it is and he quickly responds Zucchini bread! The kid loves the bread so we make it often. We have had lots of fun with our garden this year some things worked and some didn't but all in all it has been yummy.
