Another week with a few highlights to report

In keeping with my fathers request, here are a few of my highlights.

On Friday I took the day off to let Kinsey rest, she was sick. I took the boys to a great toy store in Salt Lake, lunch at their favorite, McDonalds, then some fun looking at birds at the aviary.

Helping my wife get a party together for my MIL's 50th B-day.

Being finished with a priesthood lesson for another month.

Tune in next week for more exciting highlights.

Highlights

In no particular order, some highlights from my Week.

Going to the fair. I honestly don't think too much of the Davis county fair, but it's so fun to go with the boys and see them enjoying the animals and the other kid stuff. They don't have the fair food selection that I grew accustom to as a child if you were wondering why didn't love it.


Chocolate zucchini cake, I'm eating some right now.


Out anniversary. Here she is with the flowers I gave her, aren't they beautiful together!


BLT's! There's only a small window each year to have something so good as this with real tomatoes from your own garden.

The Garden is Alive

Our little garden is coming along. After one pumpkin plant failing once it was put in the ground the second one has taken over the garden. It has covered two pepper plants, the cucumber that wasn't doing much of anything and has extended past the tomatoes and through the fence to the other side . Most mornings the blossoms are filled with bees doing what they do best.


The tomatoes are coming along well too. After last years poor showing the plants have shot up and now all have some fruit on them. Here's the one tomato that is starting to get some color.


Our peppers are doing something too. I was afraid they were duds this year, but not so. I guess we might eat something from our garden yet.

This is dedicated to the one I love

Happy Birthday. I love you tons and I hope it's a great day for you. May we celebrate many more together.


I can only hope you look this surprised opening your gifts.

I've been outed

When posting about my birthday/fathers day my wife included a photo of me opening a gift, or more specifically a Lego set. I love Lego's and I am a grown man, there I've said it. I noticed that there is a new Vintage Minifigure Collection and the oldest are some very familiar to me.


I decided I would do my own little vintage collection, or time line. I have one that is very old and predates those in the lego set of the vintage guys. I felt this was representative of the minifigs I've had over they years and still love today (generic ancient figure, astronaut, firefighter, knight, pirate, Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones).
I decided to put all the minifigures I have together, at least the ones I have here at home. There is a Lego collection in Boise I think I might still be able to claim as my own. Take a look.


Of all those guys I have, most have been found second hand at thrift stores. In some cases I have found entire sets fully intact, the best example is pictured below. It came in the box with instructions and is out in the garage assembled right now.


Yes it might be childish, but I enjoy them. I have at least one brother that has collected some Lego sets of his own. Really my boys will be playing with them a lot in the next couple of years too, that's my real justification for collecting so much right now.

Fun was had

Here's a picture of the better looking family members waiting for the big show of the evening.
This is what some of them looked like
I hope Noelle had a good birthday on top of it all.
