Welcome Home college girls!

Christi and Kelsey are home from college. Blob has graduated from BYU in history and is looking for a job if anyone has any hookups. Also, just some cute pix of the doggers. His first fire hydrant and also his first vacumming experience. Yeah didnt like the blue monster so much!



The whole family together at gecko grill! man that place is amazing. Thanks family for a great Birthday dinner!

Happy Birthday Bethany!

So I am posting these pix so Beth can steal them!. We had a great time and Cameron absolutely suprised you girl!


Bauer as in Jack Bauer

He sleeeps, and he LOVES gecko and he had his first car ride, and Bauer already has a best friend named Jack! they also come from the same Dad!



Bauer as in Jack Bauer

Well as so many already know last week, our puggle Hayden got out of the yard and was hit by a car Wednesday night. He had some brain swelling but survived it with only a broken femur on his front leg. So SAD but with the surgery costing over 2 thousand dollars, and then another 2 grand to keep him stable and alive for the night, we had no choice but to put him under. So I have finally learned why people have pet insurance now!!! Talking to the nurse at the pet hospital she told us that she was a nurse before a pet vet and she uses the same equipement for dogs as she would people?! does that amaze you are what! That explains why its so rediculously expensive, its like having a family member with no insurance having to go in for surgery, but its a retarded dog instead! Wow, so I ahve to admit the hardest thing about loosing hayden was the lack of routine. Waking up to him whinning so we could let him out, having a friend to walk in the morning, closing doors so he wouldnt chew up my whole wardrobe etc. Brad was not a happy camper the last few days and what really is the best for him was jsut to get a new doggers to replace the old one. My sister Ray and Brad ARE so sweet, they took Brad and I to go get a new Beagle who we have named Bauer. He was born the middle of March and we just love this little guy. He sleeps on my collar bone at night to keep warm and he has this beagle bark/ whine when we are not right by him!

Miss America 2009' My country and my family...

So correct me if my details are a bit off. But I was laying in bed venting to myself all the horrible thoughts of why this world is evil and disgusting. Now normally its just horrible venting I guess but I get to a breaking point where I must vent and vent i do! I didnt actually watch this past weekends Miss USA pageant( which by the way is no other program other than people judging women 100% based on what the woman looks like) but it was my Father who filled me in on the drama of what had happened to Miss California. Miss AZ was asked a political question, to which she didnt even answer, then a question was directed towards miss CA. Now maybe a gay judge can be partial to not being affected by a womans beauty and thats the justification for having a gay man on a 100% woman dominant program, who knows. But WHY is it okay for Miss CA to get voted down and scorged in front of the whole US at least because she can say " my state and my family belieive that marriage should be between a man and a woman" The gay judge looking for some kind of allowance or encouragement for his immoral life, rightfully got slapped in the face and now is being vindictive as he licks his wounds and writes his gay columns. ALL I CAN SAY is Miss CA you should have WON and you should sue that fag for all that he is worth. How dare he put a person in a situation that HAS nothing to do with the actual program at ALL!. This may sound ugly and cruel, but when they can do it. Things need to be said and positions need to be held. And thats all for now.

Freaking Government

Brad here I know I don't write often but I have to get something off my chest!!! The secretary of Homeland Security and the worst Governor of the state of Arizona has ever had, Janet Napolitano, Issued a warning about rightwing extremist saying anybody worried about the economy, worried about gun control, or is a veteran of the current wars on terror is considered to be a top recruit for rightwing extremist groups. Now I guess that would include a lot of people say like most of the population!!!! Freak in this little warning it has a definition of right wing extremist and its this "Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration." Ok lets go through this little definition of rightwing extremism first of all it says hate oriented based on hatred of particular religious groups. Well I didn't see any posts from home land security when all of those people that supported prop 8 and 102 were being persecuted and hated for what they believed, didn't see government agency stand up for any of the LDS, Catholic, or Evangelical people when people started protesting and hating them???
"Antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority." Lets see here in the constitution (which is the supreme law of the land) states that the States have the power not the federal government to enact powers. The tenth amendment states that " The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." So basically the States have the power not the federal government.
Last but not least Groups of individuals opposed to abortion or immigration. Ok let see here I'm opposed to abortion and I'm opposed to illegal immigration so I guess thats makes me a rightwing extremist, and basically every, LDS, Catholic, and Evangelical!!!
Come on people can't you see what is happening this leftist socialist government that is in control is just trying to scare people that don't have their point of view, and thats how a lot of bad governments have started like Nazi Germany, Russia and other communist countries. Wake up people and start holding to your beliefs, your values, and your morals and stop letting the media and government tell you what to think and believe. Stand up and be heard!!!! I believe that the constitution was inspired of God and that our Founding Fathers were inspired of God to make this great Country!!!! The Constitution is the Law of the land and that the people NOT THE GOVERNMENT has the Power we just need to stand up and take the power back!!!! I'm not proposing anarchy, I'm proposing by living by the constitution and living by my values and beliefs. Stand up and be heard, live your beliefs and values and obey the law of the land which is the Constitution!!!! I love you all!!!!!!!

Diamondbacks vs. Cardinals7-6

We got to ride the light rail from the hotel all the way down to the stadium which took about 20 minutes. It is AWSOME and for 3 bucks we didnt have to walk far or pay for outrageous parking! It really is the way to go!


Diamondbacks vs. Cardinals7-6

Brad's Grandpa's only wish in his life was to be able to go to a live baseball game where the Cardinals would be playing. So Brad's mom and family got gpa some series tix where the Cards played the D-backs. Gpa, uncle Ron and Colt made a whole trip out of driving down here for the games. The last few days have been fun for Brad as he got to spend time with the boys golfing, eating, and of coarse watching the game. Gpa was in heaven as he ate his hotdog and a beer.... which he HATES beer but thats what people do when they go to games as well as shuck the peanuts and have the popcorn! Really the middle of the game was rediculous but as we went into a 10th inning things got crazy exciting and then we pulled it off 7-6.




These little treasures are called Garlic Fries. yep those chunks of white is garlic which we ate all of and still reak of even 3 days later.

New movies.


Does any body else feel like the movies out have been lame and that it really is not worth the almost 10 bucks to be disapointed. Really Brad and I should be working on better more creative dates rather that relying on a dinner and a movie, but we are both looking forward to some great movies coming out!. Twilight is filming both the second and the third movie together which I think is brillant with a new producer and hopefully a bigger budget it should be better then the last movie which I really thought was okay. Second, x-men, Transformers, star trek and Harry Potter. We shall see and it only means that school is coming to an end, the lake is warming up and that summer is here!.

Happy Easter/ 60th Wedding Aniversary Gma- Gpa Killian

We had such a great time this past Easter at Moms house. She once again threw the best party. The food was amazing and the company was awsome. Grandpa Baird, Uncle Ron and Cousin Colton all drove down for the week of Cardinals Baseball against the Diamondbacks. They made it just in time to celebrate Easter with us and to spend much needed time with Brad.

Paper, Scissors, Rock!

Um I win! Sitting around the other day i was checkin out the hubbys brows and thought. um I need to wax mine, why not his as well! I finally got him to agree to a game of paper rocks scissors in which the looser would have to subcome to the wax machine! He was SO confident that he could win when Brad so lost! I waxed the catterpillars off his face and you should have seen him yelping. I put all the strips on so that he wouldnt get away with only one pulled off. Poor guy. it was alot of hair and now he can partially understand what women go through.

Easter Weekend!

So our first run with these baskets was a complete failure. This idea was given to mom from super sister gail who loves doing this every year I guess so we tried it. When you put a soil/ syrofoam filler in with hard white wheat and you water, the seeds actually grow grass. We thought it would be so fun for a basket filler to have grass with rolls and cookies. the first one rotted because the wheat was dead and the second one didnt turn out becuase we started it to late. Next year we will not make the same mistakes. But here is a heads up on what you can do for some cute Easter baskets for gifts!
