Oi,
Just in case anyone cares. After a long and arduous delve into the world of digital video encoding, decoding, embedding and converting I finally figured out how to get blogspot to transmit the sound on the videos from the last 2 posts. If you would like you can go back and watch them now with sound. I think it makes a big difference.

Easter in Images and a Few Words
Howdy all,
We had the spoil me rottens come up for Easter weekend. We went to a city park for an Egg hunt, spent a ton of time outdoors because the weather was superb and generally had a good time. There was also a lot of time spent in various hats. Both of the kids love hats for some reason. If you are wearing one they want it.
Here is the egg hunt. Just imagine Kirks story but with out the part about flailing around on the ground like a crazy dude.
Some lady tried to sell her kittens at the event. Z loved them, and terrified them.
This is what it is like to try and take Z anywhere with open space.
Lastly a few more random shots. Including some of Sam, the long forgotten owner of this here blog.
And A Z video.
Till next time-

More Famous!
We went to the California Poppy Festival last weekend. This was the only thing of note that occurred.
Here are some pictures. See if you can pick out the one that Z will be most happy with 14 years from now.
We have lots of Easter stuff to sort through so stay tuned.

Grandpa G at work.
So,
I've been working on some home improvement stuff as you know. This last week I had some tremendous help. Grandpa G came up from Monday-Wednesday morning and helped by clearing the weeds out of the yard and helping install a drip irrigation system for our new planter. He was incredible. He worked like an Ox and hung out with the kids. We really liked having him up here. Here are some pictures.
First Z helped open up the system and measure everything out. (she hung out with him outside the whole day.)
We dug the trench and removed the necessary bricks.
The we laid the line tested it and covered it all up.
I bought some more mulch to hide the line and walla! Perfect planter.
We celebrated by sitting outside admiring our work and cooking up a tri tip.
RANDOM A SHOT!
Later Gator.

Topsy Turvy Fail!
Turns out the Mojave desert isn't the greatest place to grow tomatoes. It's not the heat that ended up doing it in. As you can see here my plants have been snapped off at the stem. Since the Topsy Turvy hangs the plants the 50mph gusts of wind snapped the plants clean off. I think it's a losing proposition since it's always windy out here so I donated my setup to the spoil me rottens (who have a successful topsy turvy of their own) in the hopes that when it produces I can reap the spoils.
Till next time-
