Joaquin Phoenix

Check out this AWKWARD interview between David Letterman and Joaquin Phoenix that aired Feb. 11th.  What's up with Joaquin???!!  Maybe I'm wrong to judge but, it makes me sad because I really like Joaquin's movies and I think he is a great actor.  I just can't believe he would go off the deep end like this.   Do you really think he is going to get a good film maker to film him when he is sabotaging his own career?  Again I am probably wrong to think that way... Hollywood does do things that sometimes shocks us all it seems and it wouldn't be the first time they hired an actor/actress that went off the deep end. (Push pause on the music first.)

 

Kody Wrestling

Over the weekend we had the opportunity to go watch Kody wrestle.  He did awesome!  We are so proud of him.  He missed the lower weight group by 3 pounds that he tried so hard to shed.  So he was bumped up a weight group and I could sense he was a little worried that he wouldn't do so well.  By the end of the night, he almost made CHAMPION but was barely beat by a hair and came in second.  Way to go Kody, YOU STUD- we still think you are a champion!

Jake, Tracy, & Kody

Jake, Tracy, some of Tracy's family, Kody & his girlfriend (sorry can't remember her name)

More Snow!

Sledding again! Shelley called Monday and wanted to get together for pizza & sledding. So we got together for lunch with Jake & Tracy's family and Trevor and Tiffany. Jess and Rick had to work that day and Jake had to get some rest before his night shift so he wasn't able to go sledding but we had a blast.

Take a look...

No offense Brooky but, Kolten was wondering if you are part Bigfoot?

Hang on Tracy!

Darn...
I don't know how many times Kaden got pushed/pulled/carried up the hill. I was quite jealous when nobody would carry me up the hill.

I had a hard time guessing who's head belonged with what body when Kolten and I first looked at the next four pictures. For a minute I was thinking Shayne's head (on bottom) went with Erika's body (squooshed in the middle). It looked a little awkward an uncomfortable the way I had it pictured.

Not only is Brooklyn part Bigfoot... She's part Vampire too, look at those fangs. It's a good thing she so cute.
Wait for Kolten!

OH NO!
Wait for Kolten - Again!

Check out the air Erika gets on this one!

Tracy tried to get some air on this one but it didn't work very good.

Poor Shayne! She is getting choked and stretched.

Nerd Alert!!!!!

Just Kidding.

How cute is Brooklyn?

Cat fight!
After everyone was almost done and I was about of room on my camera for more pictures, Tracy grabbed the camera and it was my turn. Someone had the brilliant idea to put the slippery sleds under us for speed. It worked. Poor Brooky went with me down the hill and got bounced out at the first bump. It doesn't work very well when you have one big fat girl on one side and one tiny little girl on the other. I noticed the pictures stopped as soon as Brooky flung off. Tracy must have been worried. She ended up ok though, luckily. This is us below...

Mommy and daughterly love. This butts for you Trace.

Kolten ended with a BANG!

There were so many photos to choose from, somewhere around 700. We got a new camera and it can snap a shot every quarter of a second or so. I had a hard time choosing which ones to put on plus it is so much better looking at them on my apperture picture program because the way you can flip through them makes them look like they were almost taken as video clips rather than pictures. I hope you are able to see the sequence of them as if they were taken as video. It's funner that way.
