Won the Pumpkin Carving Contest with Maddy

 Meet Scarface

 She won some purple socks which are the exact ones she said she wanted when we started.

Maddy's dad Rodger was out of town so I joined her for Daddy Daughter night.

Guess who lost at Skipbo?

Has this ever happened to you?

 You beat Michelle at a relatively innocent card game.

 Then, she throws a fit?

If so, you are not alone.

 There is help.

The pumpkin died

Its pretty disgusting. It lasted about a week. What the dealio? This isn't coolio! I feel like the foolio!
In other news, Michelle and I are KILLING in our ward. We're getting a lot of laughs. In our Family History class we make everyone laugh. Wish I knew what killed our pumpkin. This picture looks like a scene from CSI if instead of mysterious deaths of people they investigated pumpkins.

Quote of the day:
The Prophet Joseph Smith stated, “The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead” (History of the Church, 6:313). He also stated: “This doctrine was the burden of the scriptures. Those Saints who neglect it in behalf of their deceased relatives, do it at the peril of their own salvation” (ibid., 4:426).

Sushi

Went to a Sushi place for Vicky's birthday. 

This sort of looks like some interactive art theatre or something.

I found this weird picture of my dad with two wiener dogs on his lap. Its weird because who would be that excited enough about "End Tab Folders" to want a picture with them?

First pumpkin carving in years

A visual update on whats new with Nick and Miguel

Well I guess what happened to Michelle isn't really new. Unless you consider that its the most painful kidney stone shes ever had. Thats saying alot.









I sold my art at the Farmer's Market. My booth was next to the face painting. I'm not sure if it hurt business. I did scare people. As I was sitting I'd see people kind of jump once we made eye contact. Even scared little Gibson who refers to me as Joker anyway.

Seacret

I was in the mall, bumming around, and this Dead Sea Scroll Jew stops me. Starts shinning my thumb. Then asks me to pay 60 dollars for a bottle of lotion. I decline and say "Seacret? Like Seacrest?" She didn't know who Ryan Seacrest was. I said "You're not from around here are you?" She said she wasn't and I was like "Did you get shipped in with these bottles of lotion?" Finally, I escape and say I'll bring my wife with me later.
Against the odds of that really happening, it did happen. Shell hadn't ate and so we decided to eat at the mall. I though for sure the Jew from the Dead Sea would be gone but she wasn't. I quickly recognized her big sort of ratted hair and had to think quick. I had Michelle go on one side to distract so I could sneak on the other. It didn't work. Plan B, just run away. She came toward me so I just ran away.
Although, I do enjoy my encounters with them. I used to be offended by their blunt disgust of my skin but now I enjoy it because I think they're funny. But, I could see how that might not be a successful selling strategy to most people. Wish I could go to Israel and sell "Salt Lake Seacrest Lotion" and just be like 'You're all ugly! Look at how beautiful this man with highlights in his hair is...his name is Ryan.'"
That would show them.
