Fish!

It's been about a year now since we got our pets... fish! No, no huge puppy as big as Harlene or small and feisty has Karyn's cat... plain old ordinary fish. Actually, we have gone through about as many as we have now over the year. We have a 10 gallon tank and today we replaced 1 dead and 1 dieing with 4 new ones. Go figure! It gives the kids something to look at and they are quite calming when you just want to look at something that isn't demanding anything from you. They do have their own personalities though... they know that when the light is turned on in the morning, it's time to eat! Kinda like a bunch a kids... open a bag of chips or start cooking hamburgers and they come running! Kraig even has started to come over and see what I have when I open a soda can! We certainly know how to train our kids.

Changes to Blogg

Well, I took down the music player today! I figured that you all have heard enough of my music tastes. I guess I took it down too because it's something else that has to be maintained and updated once in a while and things like that take time to manage. With everything else that has to be done to manage a blog, the music player is one less thing to worry about.

Anyway, did ya get to see the pictures from my trip to Panaca yet? I posted some at Webshots (user name Shambuck23) and on my FaceBook account. If you do not have a FaceBook account, let me know and I'll send you an invitation. I posted pictures of my family there. In order for you to see them, you have to have a FaceBook account and be one of my friends!

TTFN!

Pictures from Panaca

Well, I've started posting pictures from my recent trip to Panaca, NV. There is a couple of slide shows below that are from the trip. I bet your wondering where the pictures are of the family! Well, they are on Facebook.com! Here's the link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=24807&l=2d50c&id=630082884 I have also posted the pictures from the slide shows below on Webshots and here is the link for those pictures http://community.webshots.com/user/shambuck23 There are many other pictures on Webshots that you might enjoy also. I'm keeping the family pictures on Facebook until I can figure out another way to show them in a slide show here on my blogg. I know there is something out there, but I havn't taken the time to look. If you know of a good blogg slide show product, let me know.

The Middle of Nowhere!

Well, Panaca isn't really in the middle of nowhere... Austin, NV is! LOL! Katie and I went out and spent the weekend in Panaca to be there for the blessing of my newest niece, Ella. Grandpa (dad) performed the blessing while mom and dad (Mark and Tammy) watched. This was also the first time in as many years that all the sibs were together.

Dad wasn't fast enough for the camera! Here's the other...

Chris and Harlene (cousins) also came down from Utah to visit. Chris and Karyn took us down Rainbow Canyon to go hiking around the canyons looking for petroglyphs. Katie took some pictures of what we found. I think it's a miracle that they have survived this long.

Katie and I also spent some time in St. George and Las Vegas. Katie enjoyed the time spent with her Dad... well, she said she did anyway!
