Really?

$100 bet gets Calif. man stuck in child swing set | ksl.com

"VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) - A 21-year-old Northern California man was left hanging at a playground swing set overnight after he got stuck in the diaper-like seat for nine hours.

Vallejo police say the man made a $100 bet with his friends that he could fit into a child's swing at Blue Rock Springs Park on Friday night. With the help of liquid laundry detergent, he managed to slide his legs into the seat.

Authorities say that's when he got stuck _ and his friends took off.

A groundskeeper found the man screaming for help the next morning. Firefighters cut the chains off the swing and took him to the hospital, where a cast cutter was used to remove the seat.

The man's name has not been released."

My favorite part, He got stuck in a diaper-like seat for NINE HOURS! lol

Re-Post: East Coast Trip!

Correction on the stars.. There are 4,048 stars. not 400.

This trip seems like it was forever ago. But, I didn't post any pictures. So here's a taste of what we saw on our trip, which just happened to be a couple days before the earthquake that cracked the Washington Monument. 

Washington Monument.
I wish we could have gone up to the top before the earthquake cracked it!

Flags around the Washington Monument

Die-hard tourists.  It poured the whole day!

This is the WWII memorial.

WWII Memorial Quote.

My horrible attempt at a panorama.  I think you get the idea though.  :)

WWII Memorial.
This was amazing. I thought there were a ton of stars to start with, But then I saw the plaque to the left (picture below) that says each star is one-hundred american lives lost or missing. There are 4,048 stars on this wall.



WWII Memeorial



We got to this memorial right as the sun was setting and the rain let up a little.  It was perfect conditions for pictures. I'm so glad we got to see this.  Again, the picture does not do the size of this justice. It is huge.

Such reflective stone. (they did that on purpose)  I love that all the monuments are so planned. Almost everything about them is done on purpose for some other deeper meaning.  so cool.

The White House in the pouring rain!

This is at the national archives.  I made jake stand infront of the door to get a refrence for how friggin huge this thing is!

Everything was so detailed and beautiful here.

Me and My Jake at the Capitol Building. 
I want to know who mowes the lawns and how long does that take???!

Random Pictures...

From the last month or so.

This was after Tessa's aunt so rudely :-)  got her out of bed after grandpa and grandma put her to bed because she wanted to play. I heard her crying, so I went down to see what was wrong. From the corner of the dark room I hear a little voice say, "I hab a boooger." haha.  We took care of that and then she said, "they didn't give me any food" haha. Apparently grandpa and grandma starve their grandkids?  lol ya right! so uncle jake and I got her some cottage cheese. Just cuz I wanted to have more time with her. But, she sure does love Jake. :)

I hadn't seen this type of scooter before. While Lincoln was at grandma
 and grandpa's house, he got it out to show us. I'll try to post the video,
because its much funnier, but Jake and I had to try.
To start going on this thing, you shake your legs
side to side, which ends up just looking like you're awkwardly dancing.

I opened the door and she jumped in the drivers seat, this has never happened before.
After a long day running around the ranch,  irritating the guys working,
eating weeds, attacking a frog, running along side the atv, learning how to jump in the back of a truck, and
getting chased by a herd of cattle, she was ready to go home.   I don't blame her. :)

Robo Cop! Ok not really, but I think he is smart for all the gear he is wearing.
Why don't more people do this?

Grandma and Grandpa with most of their grandkids. Minus Zaylor and Carter. Cute kids!

So we are getting new carpet, and brought home samples of the carpets we liked. Riley immediately layed down on this one and tried to fit her whole body on this little 1ft by 2 ft rug.  It cracked me up. Its even more funny that this is the one we picked.  :)



We went to Oktoberfest this year at Solitude.We had a great time. :)
(Not sure whats up with the gray at the bottom) 



This is a picture of the sunset a week or two ago on my drive home from work. I love it, its so beautiful.  

My mom turned down a serious offer to drive this car!  :O  For those who don't know what it is... Google it. Just kidding. Its an Aston Martin. Made in England, low estimate base price is $222,895. Pocket change right? My mom will never live this down. :) Love ya mom. 



and just for fun, this is what I'm currently studying. :) It a little crazy to me that someone, well lots of people, figured this out.... umm wow.  It didn't come with a manual like it does for me. Someone studied and researched this so the knowledge could be passed on. So cool.



Heaven

I love this picture. It looks so relaxing. :-)
