Okay, you all know that I love YouTube by now, so check this out. I remember throwing some nasty junk as a kid, but this is just ridiculous.

Alive and Well
Fear not fellow bloggers (and blog readers), I am still alive. It has been awhile since I last wrote. We've been extremely busy, so here's a little recap of the past 2 months....
Jamie and I went with my dad, sister, and brother-in-law to Las Vegas for a week in the middle of August. Melanie found a rental house on the SW side of town that was perfect... and huge! It had 3 bedrooms plus a master suite as big as our house. But the best part was the pool in the backyard. We went downtown to the strip several times too. I didn't do any gambling for 2 reasons: (1) I'm too practical and I realize that the house always wins, and (2) I never win anything when money is on the line. So it was easy for me to not get sucked in. Melanie on the otherhand, well, she's got a problem. On the last day Jamie handed her a pamphlet she found in one of the casino's that read, "When the Fun Stops: What to Do When Gambling Becomes an Addiction." We all got a good laugh at that. Jamie's sister and brother-in-law came down from the Salt Lake area and spent a few days with us also. If you checked out the pictures already you'll see about 10,000 photos that Jamie took of our favorite little niece!
We also spent a lot of time while we were out there just site seeing. We spent one day and went to Mt. Charleston which is one of the highest points, if not the highest, around Vegas. We also went to Red Rock Canyon one afternoon. The big trip, however, was the full day trip that included Valley of Fire State Park and the Hoover Dam. It was a lot of fun, but let me share a bit of advice with you all. Never, ever, ever, ever go to Vegas in August. It was out of control hot. The day we went to the Hoover Dam it was roughly 125 degrees. Do be stupid like us, go in January.
