I wish there where less months in the year.

I wish there where less months in the year but the same amount of days. I was thinking the other day my next pay check is pretty much gone after Tithing, Student loans, Rent, Car Payment, and other things as well. See if the months where longer then I would not have to pay rents and other things as often.

Fishing trip.

This week I was able to go fishing once again and I caught a fish, but sadly I do not have a picture of the fish. I might be able to get one and put it up later. We went down to Provo Canyon where a group of friends and I went hike the other day look below to see pictures of it if you want.

Family Home Evening!

As you might know there is a little things each week called Family Home Evening that happens on Monday around 7ish depends on what we do that week. Well this week we made tin foil dinners up in some canyon. There was all types of stuff we can put in it. Some types of soup, carrots, meat, potatoes, pickles, and some other stuff. People making their dinners. Emily you need to cook it first! That is my tin foil dinner before it was cooked. In the fire pit. Guess which one is my if you guess the small one you are wrong. Yum the pickle was good. Emily, Jessica, and Amy with there dinner. Adam with his dinner
I think if you have a todo list before you die you need to put eat a pickle that was cooked in a tin foil dinner on it.

Thanks for your Vote.

Just wanted to say Congratulations Zach, and let everyone know about Zach winning the Livestrong Challenge. I also want to send out a thank you to Josh Woodward, a musician who let us use his music when LIvestrong had us change it so it could potentially go on the youtube homepage. You can check out his other music at joshwoodward.com And finally, thank you to everyone who voted and got their friends involved in sharing Zach's story.

The Last Days Of Summer!

Well yesterday a few friends and I went on a little hiking trip up to Stewart Falls that is somewhere in Provo Canyon. It was a lot of fun and the leaves for what every reason thought it was fall and they where turning into all shades of yellow, red, orange, and other colors as well. That is me if you could not tell with the trees turning colors in the background.
Emily and Moose with the niece view.
The hike was pretty fun, So on the trail there was this part when everything around us was red then all of a sudden yellow which was amazing and what not.
Here are some images of the water fall. The Jeffries. Emily and Amy. And one of me being silly! The next photo is a pretty fun one. It just looks pretty funny to me a least. Moose was a good dog he was a trooper and was able to go up most of trail with no problem at all. Sadly to say I had a little fall and my leg got cut up a little bit but I will live I think. My leg.

No Duh

The State Fair or some redneck thing.

So last night i went to the State fair with some friends and as I was writing my last post I thought man that was a pretty redneck thing. You might asked what is so red neck about the fair and I will tell you.
1)The deep fried thing you could get. From candy bars, cookies, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches yes that is right a good ol p&j sandwich deep fried. I should start to try to deep fry some things and sell them. Like a deep fried pasta salad, or maybe deep fried tofu for those people who like to eat healthy. Any other ideas just leave as a comment if you wish.
2)You could get anything on a stick. The deep fried foods, pork chops, steaks, and pretty much any type of food there could be on a stick.
3)There was this guy with a chainsaw craving things out of wood.
4)And last but not least the truck pull. You can't find something more redneck then that.

David I want to know what you been up to.

Well It has been some time since I David Oakes has told my many readers what I have been up to so where it goes.
1)I have been working for 2 weeks now and got my 1st paycheck on Friday and those dirty bums took a 1/4 of my paycheck. But work has been going well and it is picking up more and more. So so far so good.
2)There was a ward camp out the other week and it was fun. I got there a little late with just shorts, shoes, socks, and a shirt on and people looked at me and thought I was crazy and told me that I was going to freeze to death. Little did they know I like it cold and that I have spent many years wearing just that. So I was fine and I was one of the 1st one up the next morning and was just chilling around where the fire was waiting for others to wake up. I would of started the fire but there was no hot coals left or anything around to start the fire with. Then I was one of the cooks because no one else was willing to do it but a handful of people who said ok I will cook. Then after breakfast we went up to a lake that was near the camp site and on the way there someone got someones else car stuck in the road. We hit a big rock and then went over it. Picking up the car to get the rock. The Rock. The Lake. A moose.
After all the fun a few of us stayed behind to fish in this small creek that was near where we camp out. I asked one of the people who stayed behind how they where going to fish. She told me she was just going to let the line in and go here fishy, fishy and then she caught one. Emily with the fish she caught. Amy with the fish she got.
Sadly I did not get one

I hate Paying Taxes

So I got my paycheck the other day and they took a 4th of it out for taxes. Can you believe that I work all day and the government takes it away. I say it will be ok if some government worker comes in and works for me a 4th of the time. That will be pretty neat I think.

I was going to post this a while ago.

So a while ago I was on espn.com voting for some things and this question came up. I did not know that there was a Team call Yes and a Team called No in baseball so I voted for team No. Sadly to say I did not pick the team most people thought will win.

On a side note.

I find it a bit odd that I still get contacted by companies after I took a job somewhere else. I think I had a least 3 or 4 calls that I had to say that I am no longer on the job hunt. Oh well.

The 1st day.

I had my 1st day of work today and it was a slow day. We sent the 1st part of the day setting up are computers so that we can work on them when it is time to work on them. Hopefully soon.

For those of you who do not know I got a new job. I am a JR DBA at 406 partners. After I get a feel more on what I will be doing I will let you know. They went over it with us but it might be a little easier to say what it is when I do it. I have a good idea what I will be doing as of right now.
