my 3.5 year old gymnast

I know this is crappy cell phone video but its cool anyway. I came home from work today and walked down stairs to deegan just running around in circles. Then out of the corner of my eye I catch him jumping of the couch with a full twist and landing on the luv sac.

The worst thing that could happen

I was sent an email, by a really good old friend of mine, that i have heard before. But when I heard it I thought it was probably true except for it would take a lot longer than the prediction said it would take. But now I see clearly that unless a large portion of people in this nation grow a spine, stop with the politically correct garbage, and live in reality; those same people are going to wake up to a much much worse reality than they are now refusing to reside.
Im talking about the people that think the government in the answer to most our problems. The ones that think that the government should provide them with most every necessity goods, and a large number of luxuries. The ones that think that soon as President Obama takes office, that things will magically get better. If these people would man up and take responsibility for their own life and stop trying to tax me and my wife to pay for their collage and trips to mayce's, we would see this nation take an about face in right direction very quickly. Please listen to this audio. Sorry i had to put one of my photos with it to put it up here as a movie, because Bloger don't allow just audio.

For those who do not already know

I am sure all who read this blog know already that Heidi, my good wife, is pregnant with our second and last child. She is due on my Fathers birthday, April 23, 2009. Today was the day that we found out what we are having. My wife and pretty much everyone else but me and dad thought she was having another little boy... She had the name pick out and everything.
Allow me to digress for a moment... When Heidi picks names they are all so so horrid sounding that when she comes up with one that is half normal i have to just say okay. that one is not bad. But then she'll start to combine the name that I okay into one name, figuring that the two names together will be okay as well.
So she picked out ---- ----- -------. (I had the name written out here but she said it was still confidential and could not be revealed.) But it wasn't to bad. Just not normal.
As you can guess we are not having a boy. Heidi is very upset about it, and cannot explain why a girl is so bad. But her and Deegan both just cry when its mentioned.
Back to names, for a girl I have wanted to name her Linnéa. (li-NAY-ə (English)) I have wanted to name our kid this since before we know Deegan was a boy. Well back when Heidi was sure this kid was another son, she never said anything against this name, but now that is will be a girl, Heidi is not so ready to acquiesce.
I went to the ultrasound today with her, and I am glad I went. I was there to hold my sobbing, broken hearted, wife in her time of need. I stayed home for about 45 min longer than I should have to talk to her about it. She really is kind of crushed about it all. I don't know why though.
AND! I think that Linnéa is a super sweet name for a little princess. It is a swedish name. "From the name of a flower, also known as the twinflower. It was named by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus, who named it after himself, it being his favourite flower."

this is important.

No matter what your political views are, its important that you fill out this survey. Dr. Diane Medved is writing a book about the definition of marriage. She is gathering data on the subject through this survey.

She is also saying that she needs more people that are left leaning to take the survey, so that she can get a realistic view of the USA for the data for her book.

Also if you would link to her thread http://brightlightsearch.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-do-you-mesh-roles-of-husband-and.html

This is a real survey, you don't have to answer thousands of questions about products, or sign up for this or that.

Just a Cool Boy

It just occurred to me

I thought that this country righteously fought a great civil war on the principle of being able to keep the fruits of your own labor. And now a person, that is of the very race that was among the greatest beneficiary of that war, wants to take away a greater part of the fruits of all of American labor, including you and me. Ironic I think. Pay back time, i guess.
I know some of you are thinking, but Josh, but Josh, he's only going to raise taxes on people earning over 250 grand a year. Thats true. But guess what else he is going to do? He is going to let the bush tax cuts expire. That will result in a tax increase for every single American across the board. And guess what, he don't call that a tax increase. He just gives some dumb justification on it.
Barry also just declared soon as he gets into office he will sign an executive order
to stop all domestic drilling. He singled out Utah in that bid. Guess why? Because all the trucks driving on the dirt roads out here in the dry desert kick up dust, and then the dust lands on the rocks. Yup he want to shut down drilling, and my job by the way, just because the rocks that are outside in the dirt and going to get dirty.
I thought in the campaign of the president elect that he was all for the undereducated and the poor. Well where else other than the oilfield is there going to be a whole corner of a state full of the high school educated and the drop outs going to get paid 50-100 grand a year? He is just going to make poor people poorer.
A good public agenda seeks to make poor people rich. Barac seeks to make rich people poor. He said its all in the name of fairness. I don't think that is very fair. He wants to spread the wealth, how do you do that if the wealthy are not rich any more and there is no longer wealth.

Lucky me.

I took my camera to work today to take some pictures of my sled that was down at the shop, and on my way to work I seen some rather awesome sights. Since I had my camera I took some pictures. I also found this new program from adobe caller light room and I love it. I have the free 30 trial version right now, the real version cast about 300 bucks. So if anyone wants to donate to me so I can continue posing beautiful photos, I am open to it.

All of these were taken this morning heading south toward bonanza from vernal. This fog is caused by the green river. Click pictures for larger images.
