Kathy wants it to be clear that Levi wrote this so I put it in the title.

I want a chicken. Not just any chicken. Some guy on craigslist has some Malaysian Serama chickens for $30. I am trying to decide whether I should buy his chickens or order some eggs online and put them in a bator (in my studies I have found that people who raise chickens don't say the full 'incubator').
They are so rad. They look like a bantam chicken, the kind you see on a farm, but they are miniature. They are also the friendliest chicken there is. I don't know exactly how friendly a chicken can be but it seems like these ones really like people.
The biggest obstacle to having chickens are the two dogs that prowl the yard. They go all kinds of crazy when I pick up my BB gun because they think that they are going to get to run down a pigeon. I think that I am going to get a cheap chicken and try to train the dogs not to eat it before I invest any real money in Seramas.
Kathy thinks I am pretty weird. But when I told my Dad about it he thought it was great. I bet that my brother thinks it would be cool too.

STRESSED OUT!!!!

As you all probably know we are trying to move out of our stinky apartment and find somewhere new to live and I am stressing out about it. It all started about two months ago. We told our managers that we were putting in our 60 day notice and we found a pretty nice apartment to move to. We signed all the papers and gave them the deposit of $130. Well something else came up where we had the opportunity to possibly move into a house. So we told that apartment, that no we wouldn't be moving in there and we lost our deposit money. Now we have been waiting on this possible house to move into. Well here we are two months later and not much has changed, still waiting! We have to be out of our apartment on the April 16th. I guess it is about time we take some action or we will be out living on the streets. It has been really hard to find somewhere to live because all the apartments are only open the time I am at work. I finally talked Levi into looking at one without me and if he liked it I would have to take an afternoon off to go look. So he found one and we both checked it out today and we signed up to move in on the 12th just a couple days before we get kicked out of our stinky apartment, and by stinky I mean our neighbors smoke about 3 packs a day and some how the smoke travels into our apartment. STINKY!! So anyways hopefully all will go as planned and we will have a place to live and we won't lose another deposit!

Trip to Utah

This last week Levi had spring break and I took the whole week off and we decided to take a road trip to good old Utah to see friends and family. We stopped in Vegas and stayed with Art and Jamie for two nights. We had a great time hanging out with them and of course playing with our niece Addison. She is so cute! When we were leaving she wrapped her arms around Levi's neck and wouldn't let him go even when Jamie tried to pry her off of him. She must love her uncle!! Then we headed up to Utah and had a good time seeing our family and friends. One of the days my dad took my keys and started working on my car so of course we went out to help him. We ended up working on it for just about six hours, thats my dad for you! But I sure do love a clean car! It looked great, Thanks dad! Levi and I both got a hair cut on this trip. Levi needed one so bad; he almost couldn't see because his hair was getting so long and I got some highlights. On Wednesday we had a family dinner. It was fun to see everyone. Danny brought over his Nintendo Wii and of course Cory wanted to play it all night long. We got a video of him rockin' out when Craig and I were playing guitar hero. It was pretty funny. On Friday and Saturday we had a BBQ and a game night with a bunch of friends. We had a great time seeing everyone! Now it is time for everyone else to come see us.

Snow... it looks good, but sometimes it stinks

We took a trip up to Pinetop last weekend to get out of town. A snowstorm made the trip an hour longer than usual, and we were greeted with a four foot wall of snow when we got to the cabin. It took over an hour to clear enough snow to get the car off of the street for the night. In the morning it took another hour and a half to dig the car out from sheet of ice we had parked on and the snow built up by the plow. Kathy took what I'm sure was the longest nap in her life after that. We made a snowman, played some SNES, and sat around. We were too tired from all of the shoveling to do anything real ambitious. I made Kathy promise that we have to have a 4x4 if we are going to come up in the snow again.


Isn't Kathy so angelic?
After shoveling all day, playing in snow doesn't sound very fun. Kathy wanted to, so we built a snowman. I put a Hatch crack on the back of this snowman but Kathy didn't want to take a picture of it.

I'm going to make Kathy keep her promise about the 4x4.

Out for a hike.........A long hike!

A few weekends ago we decided to go for a hike. We went to a place called South Mountain in Phoenix. Side note from Levi: South Mountain is the location of the largest municipal park in the US. Anyways there are a lot of different hikes to choose from and we decided to do a hike that was around six miles long. We got to a place called fat man's pass (because you have to shimmy between the mountain to get through). Well I guess we went the day the boy scouts had a hiking outing because they were all over the place and of course blocking the sign where we were suppose to turn around to hike back. So needless to say we hiked in the wrong direction about another mile and a half. Then of course another mile and half back to fat mans pass where we got back on our trail. So we started hiking again and we got to a point where the trail split in two directions and of course just our luck there was a post where a sign should have been but of course was gone. So we picked the more traveled trail and what do you know we ended up in a totally different parking lot than our car. We had to look like idiots and ask these guys for a ride around the mountain to our car. Well we ended up hiking about nine miles instead of the six. We still had a good time but since then we haven't been out for a hike.This chipmunk saw us from across the wash and he knew exactly what to do....... we watched him jump from rock to rock to get near us to beg for food. So of course Levi pulled out the goldfish crackers and fed him. Then when we got home Levi had to look up how to keep chipmunks as pets. It is possible but would take a lot of work!
