Head Light Lens Cleaner

So recently Paul and I were driving around in his car in the snow and rain.  I've been saying this for awhile, but Paul needed to clean off his head light lenses so he can see at night or in bad weather when he is driving.  We went shopping around and watched a few videos to find out the best way to clean your head lights...here is what we found:

Turtle Wax Headlight lens restorer.  This is mostly everything that came in the box.  There was also a glove included and a final wipe that I didn't get in the picture.  The results were quite surprising....

This is a before picture

This is during the cleaning and scrubbing process.

Then you have to wax it and let it sit until dry.

Then you get this!!!  It looks soo much better!  So if you are looking at your head light lenses and think you might need to try this, its very inexpensive (I think we paid $8.75) and doesn't take more than an hour.  Give it a try

In Time

So this past weekend, Paul and I went and saw In Time, with Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.  I enjoyed the idea of the movie and kept me entertained.  Paul noticed right away the Liberal points, wealth distribution.  Putting that aside, over all I thought the movie was pretty good.  What did you Think??

Happy Halloween!

This year for the first time in my life ( i don't know about Paul) I didn't dress up for Halloween!  I didn't even have a costume or anything picked out!  But We did go over to Paul's parents house to help hand out candy and enjoy some cinnamon rolls, home made.  Paul's parents have a tradition of handing out candy to the kids and cinnamon rolls to the adults.  It's kinda fun.  Anyway, we did get to Carve a pumpkin together this year, so here it is:

Happy Halloween!

Home Sweet Home

So after a very difficult battle with our previous landlords, we have landed a pretty sweet new apartment.  It too is another basement apartment.  My Aunt and Uncle have moved to Arizona for 2 years for work, and offered us to move into their basement.  My cousins live just above us now, and we took over the basement.  We moved in the last day of September.  This is a much more comfortable place and.... basically SPIDER FREE!
 This is what we were living with before:

YES that is a hobo spider!  Sick I know, sorry you had to see!

Here is a picture after we had moved everything out of our old apartment.  No need to see the inside, just us leaving at the door! 

And here is the entrance to our new place:

A lot nicer and more open.  less dungeon like!

We'll have to add more pictures once I take them!

Home Sweet Home

LOTOJA!

Next up is LOTOJA.  This is a 206 mile bike race from Logan, Ut to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  This was Pauls second year riding this.  This year, his brother, Christian, rode along side him.  It was a long day!  Along the ride they have different feed zone where the support vehicles can stop and get food/water/goo to the riders.  Also a little encouragement, it can get pretty lonely out on the roads.  This is when my camera battery died, so I only got a couple of pictures to show the morning before they took off...

 Getting his bike all ready for the 206 miles!

 One quick picture with the wife before taking off...

Ready to go, getting in line for the take off time.

They finished in about 12 hours and 30 mins!  Great Job to Paul and Christian.  This is quite an accomplishment!

What we've been up to.....

Hello all...
So I officially am not a good blogger at all.  I will add that my camera battery has been dead for awhile, and I have no clue where my charger is, but I finally got it charged at my parents and could take pics again.  And for some reason I feel I can't blog with out pictures. Anyway, lets go back a few months...
September:
Paul and I went camping over Labor Day weekend.  We went up Logan canyon, we wanted to stay at Tony's Grove, which is where I grew up camping alot with my grandparents and went fishing there at the lake.  When we got there, all the campsites were full, so we continued to drive around the canyon for probably 4 hours looking for somewhere to camp.  We finally were able to find a spot off the side of the road and we called that home for 2 days.  Once camp was set up the first day was pretty much over, so the second day we explored around a little more.  Here are some pictures from that adventure:

This I Tony's Grove, where we wanted to camp.  We did come up here to go fishing.

After finding our camping spot, we went back up to Tony's Grove to fish.  I had already bought my fishing license for the day and I didn't want to waste it.  It did however, get very cold as the sun went down.  Sad to say, we did catch any fish.

 Sunday we went touring around a few sites.  This was at an underground spring that popped up in this cave!  You cant see the cave very well, but its kinda cool, the water just appears from no where!

 This was our picnic spot.  Our campground didn't have a picnic table or anything, (because it was on the side of the road) so we found this nice place to prepare the rest of our meals to eat at camp.  Paul also got some homework done.

This is back at our camp spot.  Enjoying the fire and the flies!  They were kinda insane for awhile.  Overall this camp spot was really great!

We had a fun time on our last summer get away. This was also party for Pauls birthday.  A pretty great time!

Hoggle Zoo

This last week I had a couple of days off and so Ann Elise, myself and her girls all went to the zoo!!  It was Laura's first trip to the zoo and she was just loving it! The other girls were having fun too, but mostly just wanted to go to the play ground...Here are some pics...

 When we first got to the zoo, Laura was just loving it and running around everywhere!

Riding the log horses! I think Savannah was the most excited!

 Giant Elepahnt tin thing...the end of its nose would spray out water every once in awhile. 

In the background you can see the baby elephant! 

 Mama Elephant (i think) trying to get some food

 This Gorilla came up to the window right in front of me and started pounding on the glass...scared me to death.  Just previously I had asked Ann Elise what she would do if the gorilla came and started pounding on the glass..she responded saying, I would run away.  When it did happen, we both just stood there in fear...we would have died.

 I remember this Lion Fountain from when I was little.  We had to take a picture in front of it...this was take one, Laura is pulling on Savannahs shirt because Savannah made her mad.  She kept pulling her shirt and punching it back into her back...Ann Elise and I couldn't stop laughing.

 Take 2

 Ahhh...the lion is eating meeee

and Ann Elise...

 I got to pretend I was a groundhog

 So did Emma and Ann Elise

 Emma and Savannah finally were able to play at the playground!

 We tried to keep Laura in the buggie, so we send her chocolate!  Yum Yum!

And Finally, a groundhog just sitting on his bum like nothing can bother him.  

The trip to the zoo was fun, but very hot!  We were exhausted by the end.
