The Epic swim battle 2014

A clip of Joey and Josh racing in the Lake at the Hill. It started with this and will end with a sprint triathlon next year. The challenge has been made 

Kanarraville Falls Hike

Joey and Emily and the bunch are down visiting this weekend. We went exploring kanarabille canyon. A very Zion-esque hike with 15 minutes. 

4-eyes of pure intimidation

McKay just got some glasses, and it is clear he is not the dude to mess with on the soccer field. He played midfield and was on fire in the second half. 

Chickens poo

Due to the fact that out chickens have been popping all over out garage, it was time to build them a coop. Handy skills are genetic, but Dusty seems to have taken the lions share from papa price. Regardless, josh set out to make a coop on his own.  

Here is the progress of the madness:

Getting started

Feeling pretty confident

Beginning to realize my plans have flaws, but forging ahead anyways

Starting to look like a real coop

Relocated the coop outside. Set up the lamp to keep the chick-a-dees warm at night. There are two fold down doors. One on the side for ventilation and one on the front for access and cleaning. 

All closed up and ready for some new tenants. 

Seems like the chicks like their new crib. 

Chickens

Let me introduce you to our chicks

This is Matt (aka speedy, flappy). He is is notorious for hopping outside of the box and perching himself somewhere outside of the box. Can you see the evidence? <owner: Matthew>

This is cock-a-doodle-diddy. He was the first bird to eat worms. <owner: josh>

This is Xzazan. He follows Matt as they hop out of the box. McKay has also given his guy flying lessons by simply throwing him in the air. Turns out Xzazan does not know how to fly yet, but McKay is determined to teach him. <owner: McKay>

This is Harry Potter. He magically apparates outside of the box. He also will be the toughest or die early do to the handling of his owner. <owner: spencer>

This is Hobbes. He's the runt of the litter. <owner: Calvin>. Get it?

Spring Break

Enjoying spring break in the sand... At the park. Would be way cooler to have an ocean with the sand. 

I hate plumbing!!

This sink sucks!! The moving in situation is unique as we are purchasing the home on a short sale. As such the current owner doesn't have much to fix some problems. Namely this sink. 

The hot water does not shut off all the way (it would have been nice if the inspector noticed this). So I took the sink apart and went to the local plumbing store and was able to fix it (needed new spring and pad in the cartridge). 

I got it all hooked back together and the hot water faucet works great. 

But now he cold water faucet won't even turn on. I dosconected the faucet and turn on the water....nothing. 

This sink sucks!!!

(No solution yet, may update when that happens.)

A better reaction

Mckay really does enjoy his present, lack of sleep, gentics, teething, and other reason can be attributed to his less than appreciative attitude. 

The following video was this morning.
