i cant think of a title so....

today i heard that amare stoudemire got poked pretty bad in the eye. i hate that. dont worry he will be fine. the bigger issue is that boris diaw poked him in the eye. for the last couple of months i have said that the suns need to trade diaw and kerr just wouldnt listen. diaw is notorious for poking people. usually its in the side or stomach after telling a joke that no one gets and he resorts to the poking technique to get a reaction, but he must have gotten a little carried away and got amare right in the eye. good might come of this. it is rumored that stoudemire might need to wear goggles for the rest of his career. imagine amare stoudemire with goggles and a frow, slashing down the middle of the court, getting a sweet pass from nash and then just dunking on tim duncan. he might as well wear short shorts, go completely retro. i guarantee he would be everyones favorite player if he isnt already. here are some pictures of the worlds favorite basketabll players, amazingley, they all wear goggles.

the legend.

the stallion.

the trash talker. (telling coach how it is)

bird man. ( i would also like to wish larry a happy birthday)

i cant think of anything else. i was hesitant to put bird man. these glasses are sweet and i think stoudemire should borrow them from ben.

note to readers: i hate to proofread. blogging should be fun and proofreading is no fun. so there might be errors in my writing but please look past them and open your heart to the message conveyed.

thank you, thank you, yeah i had a good time

We went to California this last weekend. It almost didn’t happen because several people almost bailed but everyone actually came through this week and we were able to go unlike the lake powell trip that never happened last week. I don’t think there is anything more peaceful than the ocean. We went during “Shark Week” on discovery channel and for some reason I like to think about “what ifs” when im in the ocean. If a shark attacked me I would straight punch that fish in the face, for reals. Actually I really think I would die of a hard attack (while rereading this post I realized I put “hard attack” instead of heart attack, I like hard attack better so im leavin it. my blog, my rules.) if a shark attacked me. Most interesting fact learned during shark week: sharks are more likely to attack some one in a red or yellow swimsuit and less likely to attack a black swimsuit. Remember that. Anyways, we got to Oceanside on Thursday night and stayed until Sunday. I brought a camera but didn’t take it out once. In closing, I would like to give several thank yous to some of those involved in the trip. Thank you ernie for sleeping the days away and then not sleeping at night. Thank you morgan for putting tanning oil on your body that hasn’t seen the sun all summer and then falling asleep on the beach, also for falling asleep with headphones on so there would be tan lines where the cords were. Thank you zach for dragging around 200 pounds worth of seaweed in the ocean, trying to put it on top of other people then just putting it on yourself. Thank you chandler for beating me at cards, again thank you morgan for the horrible job of shuffling. Thank you brady and nicole (yeah im giving you a shout out, I know brady reads this) for coming down for the day to hang out. Thank you gaslight district in san diego for not having parking for under 20 bucks, if it wasn’t for you we would have spent another 20 bucks on tickets to the padres and giants game, two teams that we cant name a single player who plays for them. And thank you sal masekela for always giving us some one to make fun of while watching the x games.

No Cutting Ronny

Last Friday we went to the Team USA vs Team Canada game at the Thomas and Mack Center. At first the game was pretty boring. Most UNLV basketball games have more highlights than the first half had. The second half was a lot better and Team USA looked more like the Harlem Globetrotters which was what everyone was hoping for. the game wasnt even close and Team USA won by almost 60 points.

Before the game Ronny Turiaf totally cut us in line to get tickets. Then he let Derrick Fisher back cut. Not cool guys. Most people that were there were Lakers fans (for some reason most people from vegas are) so they didnt care. We didnt really care either, the guy is in the nba, he can do whatever he wants at stuff like this


Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were at the game. also the guy in the white shirt sitting next to bill gates is Ludacris.


even though the way we play basketball is very similar, our shoes arent.

Family Reunion

every year on the fourth of july we have a family reunion up at brianhead, ut. every year we also go down to parawan and watch the towns fourth of july parade. i dont feel like writing a lot so here are some pictures

ty is sick of waiting for the parade, as was i.


after the parade everyone goes over to the park and they have kind of a town fair. they have races for the little kids. this is me coaching riley. she lost this race to her older cousin but it was an older division, she dominated the kids her age. everyone one of my nephews and nieces came in first in their age divisions, they had good coaches



by far the creepiest part of the parade

the camera loves morgan

morgan taylor is one crazy fan as you can tell from this picture. he claps like no other. its no wonder why espn found him in the crowd and had to put him on the air.

The bike i want
