Later on we got the chance to go see our extended family of cousins and 2nd cousins and played, which was a blast, I was just glad to have the day off.<br /><br />We got invited to an Easter egg hunt the day before Easter by a little neighborhood boy, and had a great time doing that. There were a lot of children his age, and the hunt was well done as a scavenger hunt too. There was a lot to snack on, and we both were glad we got the chance to go<br /><br />The past few days we have been enjoying the weather by playing out back a lot more than usual, washing my car, and visiting the park. I personally have been able to ride to work which I love and hate. I have been doing some night jogging with my new Zombies, Run app too which is fun, as you get chased by zombies.<br /><br />During spring break my mother and sister and niece went on vacation to L.A., so it was just my father and I here holding the house down. We decided to take Atticus to the the new local aquarium in hopes to see a lot of exciting new stuff. When we first arrived, it was noticeably busy, as it WAS spring break. We decided to tough it out anyways. Inside there was some really interesting stuff from the sting rays, sharks and octopus, yet it was hard to really get a spot up against the tanks to see the exhibits. I was really expecting a lot more stuff, yet the place is still new and growing. The experience may have been a bit different if it had not been so busy.<br /><br />We had his brother and sister over for two days during spring break as well as a way to help their dad and Danimum with child care and as a way to get the kids together to play. Atticus was so happy to have them over, to show them all of his things, and mostly joke around and just spend time with them. It was great for me because I was able to do some stuff I wanted to do around the house without having my little shadow constantly on my heels.<br /><br />I got the chance to go enjoy myself with my friends and see some live music for the first year of the annual Treefort Music Fest which took place here in downtown Boise. It was a lot of fun, and it is nice every once and awhile to leave Atticus at home with my parents while I get out and do some Kyle stuff. I had a blast dancing, visiting with friends and meeting new people, and am excited for next year's Treefort.<br /><br />I decided to go with a new haircut style for Atticus during his last trip to the barber. I went there with the intentions of having her just shave it all off but after she completed shaving the sides, and while the top was still long, I was looking at him and it hit me that this was an awesome way to keep his hair. He was doing a duck face pouty kiss thing with his lips and looked like a male fashion model. Maybe this was all in my head I decided, but I asked the lady cutting his hair; 'Maybe it's just me or does his hair look really good like it is now?' She agreed, and after she cleaned it up just a bit her and I both really got a kick out of it. Only hard thing now is where before I rarely ever combed his hair, I now have to use a lot of product to keep his hair looking good, as he has that strong swirly calic.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jm_O-uolkOI/T4ZpXssTgvI/AAAAAAAADaQ/u2-GzXKpRjE/s1600/IMG_3358.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jm_O-uolkOI/T4ZpXssTgvI/AAAAAAAADaQ/u2-GzXKpRjE/s400/IMG_3358.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730383431730430706" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k9XmxGYcNLw/T4ZpXQfGOsI/AAAAAAAADaE/KW32xFzj--U/s1600/IMG_3404.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k9XmxGYcNLw/T4ZpXQfGOsI/AAAAAAAADaE/KW32xFzj--U/s400/IMG_3404.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730383424158841538" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g-eaU96jlvo/T4ZpW-HxJ_I/AAAAAAAADZ8/EqqWF7wcVYA/s1600/IMG_3435.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g-eaU96jlvo/T4ZpW-HxJ_I/AAAAAAAADZ8/EqqWF7wcVYA/s400/IMG_3435.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730383419229153266" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dOPsf7GKk4c/T4ZpWSE9mgI/AAAAAAAADZw/ldmWM00QqBc/s1600/IMG_3443.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dOPsf7GKk4c/T4ZpWSE9mgI/AAAAAAAADZw/ldmWM00QqBc/s400/IMG_3443.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730383407406225922" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TNi3RcWUZec/T4ZpYLMd8GI/AAAAAAAADag/pElLPlBLtwA/s1600/IMG_3357.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TNi3RcWUZec/T4ZpYLMd8GI/AAAAAAAADag/pElLPlBLtwA/s400/IMG_3357.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730383439918395490" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r-5r_EAuc3E/T4ZqaIWW9JI/AAAAAAAADas/QcbiLN1IZkE/s1600/IMG_3298.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r-5r_EAuc3E/T4ZqaIWW9JI/AAAAAAAADas/QcbiLN1IZkE/s400/IMG_3298.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730384573025940626" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-57148059279113869552012-03-06T22:27:00.002-07:002012-03-06T23:06:48.337-07:00MarchWe had two days of beautiful weather the past two days, I had to work those two days, then my day off today and it is freezing! Atticus and I stayed busy today with indoor activities though.<br /><br />Seems a lot has been going on, not sure if I remember everything. This last weekend Atticus and I got the chance to go see Noah and Madeline at their dads house for a bit which was nice. Some times Luke and my schedule don't line up, and it is hard to get the kids together to play, so it is nice when we do. Speaking of which, this Saturday I will be 4 years sober and I invited Luke to bring Noah and Mad over for a playdate with Atticus in his big backyard and maybe have a BBQ because it will be 60+ degrees this Saturday.. Just a coincidence to have them over, but I think it will be a nice way to remember being sober. <br /><br />A few days ago Atticus and I went and flew his kite on this really windy day at the local park. It was so awesome! My mom bought him a really nice kite a few years back, and it works great. We both loved watching it up there in the sky, though he eventually got bored but my enthusiasm lasted as he played on the playground. I tried getting it as high as I possibly could, and I succeeded in getting it to new heights. I seriously had so much fun, I think it is the ability to be in control of something so far away. It took forever to bring it back in when we left.<br /><br />I drew him some summer shoes at work, and a guy at work is drawing him some super fresh custom Mario Bros. Vans slip ons. Atticus should have his style on lock this summer. Speaking of that Atticus and I went to the kid clothing store in the mall we use to frequent to buy matching clothes, because I could fit in the older kid clothes. We hadn't been in awhile and when we returned recently the manager stopped talking to the lady she was assisting and said, 'Hay you two, haven't seen you in awhile!' Made me laugh.<br /><br />For the future we got invited to be a date to a dance/party on St. Pattys day, which should be a lot of fun! <br /><br />TTYL!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O8Di9OVzytM/T1bzUsVwTwI/AAAAAAAADOA/7LpPnuWyyQA/s1600/IMG_3258.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O8Di9OVzytM/T1bzUsVwTwI/AAAAAAAADOA/7LpPnuWyyQA/s400/IMG_3258.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717024313818763010" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gMasrWB-uJQ/T1bzUeRk0QI/AAAAAAAADN0/l6PYCpIq_o0/s1600/IMG_3252.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gMasrWB-uJQ/T1bzUeRk0QI/AAAAAAAADN0/l6PYCpIq_o0/s400/IMG_3252.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717024310043136258" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9m2mKYTN1e8/T1bzUKjaHEI/AAAAAAAADNo/UAFGW94gRxY/s1600/IMG_3236.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9m2mKYTN1e8/T1bzUKjaHEI/AAAAAAAADNo/UAFGW94gRxY/s400/IMG_3236.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717024304749222978" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SfZnaW0QapE/T1bzVKO9RTI/AAAAAAAADOM/md7SQ-kQAJA/s1600/IMG_3254.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SfZnaW0QapE/T1bzVKO9RTI/AAAAAAAADOM/md7SQ-kQAJA/s400/IMG_3254.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717024321843316018" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GLnrpg66TMc/T1byX581GyI/AAAAAAAADNc/-CJUNaz1eeE/s1600/IMG_3229.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GLnrpg66TMc/T1byX581GyI/AAAAAAAADNc/-CJUNaz1eeE/s400/IMG_3229.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5717023269500295970" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-43825790081476158362012-01-29T22:23:00.005-07:002012-01-29T22:48:43.668-07:00Jan.The new month of the new years has moved so quickly.<br /><br />Tonight Atticus and I went over to his brother and sisters house to have a play date with them. It was the first time in a good month and a half, and they were missing each other. It was so nice of Luke and Dani to have us over and cook dinner for us, and I am glad that Aubrey, me, Luke and Dani were all able to get together and visit and let the kiddos play. Atticus had a blast playing Mario on the DS all night with Noah while Madeline showed us all the things she has learned in school. It was the first time that I had sat around and visited with Luke and Dani after knowing them for awhile now and it was great talking with them and finding out they are hilarious and awesome people. I look forward to getting to know them more in the future.<br /><br />Last week Atticus and I spent some much needed time out doors, but lone and be hold as soon as we got outside away from the Wii, we played pretend Mario Kart and pretend Mario Bros outside, I just can't get away from his new Mario obsession anywhere. We also got invited to go hiking with Caitlin and her boys last week and that was a blast. I thought Atticus would be a Grumpbot the entire time, but he really enjoyed it, and kept up, got the exercise while having fun. We then all ruined our exercise with pizza.<br /><br />I have been keeping myself busy in my free time with the Dedicated Servers the past few weeks setting up shows for them and helped shoot the photo for the cover of their new EP which should release soon. They seem to have stuff going on every weekend until April now, not ALL thanks to me, but I would like to say I did help a lot.<br /><br />The past few weeks I have been doing my taxes which I enjoy, because being a full time single father I am always knowing that I will be getting a huge return. I enjoyed keeping all my new deductions that I had this year as I feel I finally got back on my feet this year. School expenses, contributions to Atticus' state ran college savings plan, and stock investments made it a longer process this year but I am done finally. Now to pay off part of my car, part of my student loans, tune up my car and invest some!<br /><br />Tomorrow's paycheck is my first contribution to my new 401(k) and for some reason I am very excited about this. I am excited because A., my work matches up to 4%, which is free money, and B., because hopefully starting at this age I will have a large nest egg when I retire. I am fascinated by money and love watching it grow.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fEjJ8CWKJt8/TyYuDepdHcI/AAAAAAAADM8/PCZq-8S_S-Y/s1600/IMG_3096.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fEjJ8CWKJt8/TyYuDepdHcI/AAAAAAAADM8/PCZq-8S_S-Y/s400/IMG_3096.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703296615412735426" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hcfQc1kmSeo/TyYuDEmG47I/AAAAAAAADMw/anmVRjbNgFg/s1600/IMG_3149.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hcfQc1kmSeo/TyYuDEmG47I/AAAAAAAADMw/anmVRjbNgFg/s400/IMG_3149.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703296608419374002" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cZPLTT8qCU4/TyYuDt4dLeI/AAAAAAAADNI/g2Q1xbAtJBE/s1600/IMG_3094.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cZPLTT8qCU4/TyYuDt4dLeI/AAAAAAAADNI/g2Q1xbAtJBE/s400/IMG_3094.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703296619502185954" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-81215847549858288042012-01-19T20:39:00.001-07:002012-01-19T20:39:25.271-07:00Mobile Post.This week Atticus and I played in the snow, beat Mario Bros Wii, and fed some geese. A successful week in my book. I also implemented a rule that we do not play Wii on days that I work, and that we practice flash cards before Wii. Lastly I plan to start a night time potty routine which I should have started sooner. I am bored at work because I finished my book Glyph, so I made this post. I am excited to get home, put him to bed and set up NetFlix. My BOA stock has been doing great and I also applied for more jobs. Bike ride soon?<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sVgRVGz5FdE/Txjh7FZRMxI/AAAAAAAADMI/vJDwUEXLnTY/s640/blogger-image-1424579664.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sVgRVGz5FdE/Txjh7FZRMxI/AAAAAAAADMI/vJDwUEXLnTY/s640/blogger-image-1424579664.jpg" /></a></div>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-43292681342959634702012-01-10T18:57:00.002-07:002012-01-11T00:32:19.013-07:002012!It has been a great and interesting start to the new year. The first hours of the new year Atticus and I spent playing with our friends at a kids friendly NYE party. He got to play with his friend Noble and some of Nobles cousins and us adults played video games and board games in the other room. It was a lot of fun eating junk food and getting loud cheering everyone on as they beat the hardest Mario game ever that was originally only released in Japan. Atticus enjoyed playing with his friends but his new love for videos games had him watching us most of the night. Surprisingly he was able to stay up most of the night and even on the drive home after midnight.<br />
The following evening we went to our friend Matt and Lubis to wish Lubi a happy birthday and part-take in some of the delicious food that Matt was cooking for the occasion. Atticus got to pig out and watch Toy Story 3 with Lubis relatives. Matt lent Atticus and I some more video games for our new Wii that he(we) got for Christmas.<br />
<br />
We got to see some family when my cousin and her daughter came to town, her daughter is close to Atticus' age so that was nice to let them play.<br />
<br />
Things have changed a bit over the past few weeks and he has been staying here 247 whereas he use to go to his mothers every other weekend, as she works through some things, so Atticus and I have been spending a lot of time together in doors trying to stay warm and busy. Basically that means we have been playing Wii all day.(I thought the excitement of it would wear down at this point but as it hasn't I have started to impliment days when we won't be playing it). I have borrowed games from friends, rented games from the Library, and have been buying games and accessories for it off eBay and the Wii store. I downloaded the old Super Mario Bros 3 from the very first Nintendo that I use to play with my family when I was a kid. Together we have played through that and as played through the Mario Bros. Wii that came with it. He really enjoys spending time playing with me, loves picking characters and is so ecstatic if he gets a hit in on a boss and asks for a high five. He has been playing on his own the past few days and has developed a 'stance' when things get intense during the game where he lifts his left leg up. I started taking pictures of this and posted them below. Lately I have been trying to buy wireless GameCube controllers off eBay for the Wii so that we can play GameCube games as well on it, but they were going for $60-70 for a pair. This was a bit more than I wanted to spend, so I was so stoked when last night I got one off Craigslist for $15 and one this morning from Pawn 1 for $10, of man that made my day.<br />
<br />
The second day of the new year I left Atticus home with my parents and headed out on a bike ride with Cody and Peanut. From Codys house we rode Robie Creek and headed up the hill. The original plan was to ride to the top of the hill then down the other side, but as we suspected Robie had too much snow so we headed back down the way we came. We then met up with Owen and the four of us headed out to Gowen Road then Pleasant Valley Road then down Cole back to Codys. For Cody, Nut and I it ended up being a 45 mile bike ride. I was beat and that up hill ride, followed by riding in the wind made me sure it was the toughest thing I have physically done.<br />
<br />
I have still been steadily looking for a new job and have had a few interviews but unfortunately no luck as of now. I have another prospect coming up, and we will see how that goes. I will not get down and keep on looking. Otherwise work now is fine, I am just searching for something new with benefits, full time steady hours and advancement.<br />
<br />
This Thursday I have a meeting to set up my 401(K) which I am excited to do and learn more about, and that being said my Bank of America stocks have been doing great lately!<br />
<br />
As for the next few weeks I have bought some books, Wii games and accessories and some clothes online and now we get to wait for them all to arrive in the mail, such fun!<br />

Things have been busy and a lot is changing in the way of the future, and I assume more changes will be soon to come.<br /><br />We had a really nice Christmas. He got a bunch of stuff, he enjoys it all from his jammies to his Wii. I am glad I decided to go with the Wii. He loves seeing the characters and choosing them, loves to race Mario Kart, and over all it gives us something to do and bond over, like tonight when we were playing Super Mario Bros. Wii and beating levels together.<br /><br />I have had a few interviews for new jobs but no luck yet, I have another this Thursday. I hope it goes well. If I do get a full time job I am planning on putting Atticus is a daycare/school during the days which I think he will enjoy a lot and it will be very beneficial for him as well. I really hope I find something more full time and steady than my job now just for the fact to get him in a school type setting. I will slowly keep looking for stuff over the next few months until something works out.<br /><br />I will post a few pics below from Christmas morning, though none of them really came out that great.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vFRQvsz5IAk/Tvq6gvP1x_I/AAAAAAAADKw/1nGM93L4XmM/s1600/IMG_3004.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vFRQvsz5IAk/Tvq6gvP1x_I/AAAAAAAADKw/1nGM93L4XmM/s400/IMG_3004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691066150737528818" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--djckFzFTQo/Tvq6f7GDWMI/AAAAAAAADKk/QBACy8SWbBI/s1600/IMG_2993.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--djckFzFTQo/Tvq6f7GDWMI/AAAAAAAADKk/QBACy8SWbBI/s400/IMG_2993.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691066136737831106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HQ0RbJIu5Jw/Tvq6f4JKU0I/AAAAAAAADKU/JtThKeZuZA0/s1600/IMG_2982.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HQ0RbJIu5Jw/Tvq6f4JKU0I/AAAAAAAADKU/JtThKeZuZA0/s400/IMG_2982.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691066135945564994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pJ_gGknjnQA/Tvq6fgS_miI/AAAAAAAADKM/J7qF9-A6Co8/s1600/IMG_2976.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pJ_gGknjnQA/Tvq6fgS_miI/AAAAAAAADKM/J7qF9-A6Co8/s400/IMG_2976.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691066129544354338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lAkIei9EDGQ/Tvq6gw2gSfI/AAAAAAAADK4/6I0UY_UcyuI/s1600/IMG_3019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lAkIei9EDGQ/Tvq6gw2gSfI/AAAAAAAADK4/6I0UY_UcyuI/s400/IMG_3019.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691066151168133618" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-70516957886979072022011-11-01T21:49:00.004-06:002011-11-01T22:37:23.632-06:00Halloween Weekend.This last weekend was Atticus' weekend with his mom, so he was with her. I took a day off work, plus we didn't have work Halloween day so I had the past few days off.<br /><br />Saturday night Peanut was DJing a show in Ontario, Oregon and him, Owen, Jordan and I headed out there to go dance and party all dressed up for Halloween. It was a lot of fun. We went to some other parties and then ended up downtown with some other friends of ours. It was a really fun night, and I enjoyed taking pictures with my new fisheye lens for my iPhone which I have decided is my best purchase lately.<br /><br />Sunday I washed my car, did some stuff around the house, then Peanut and I went bowling with two girl friends of ours, which was a lot of fun, then that night we all watched Walking Dead at Matts and hung out. Again, another fun night.<br /><br />Monday I sat all day at Starbucks and did stuff on the computer, ended up buying Atticus and I some new boots for the winter, which I am super stoked about. Went and ate with Matt and Nut, then we headed to their show at the Red Room downtown for Halloween night. Matt was a lion and Peanut at dinosaur. I was most excited about going to snap photos of them performing in costume. The night started out a bit slow, but after the headlining band opened and got the crowd going, and a lot of our friends showed up, the night turned out to be a blast. I enjoyed myself dancing, taking pics, and chatting with friends. It ended up being a late night, because after the show Peanut, Francis and I went shopping for Halloween Peeps, then went back to Francis' house to see all the work he has done to his house. I was amazed, and am excited to see the house when it is finished.<br /><br />I went and picked up Atticus today, and since he is a bit sick, we laid low around the house. I set up his very first dentist appointment for next week, and mostly just did stuff online. I have lately been interested in buying and trading stocks online, and am feeling confidant in making money doing so. I have been reading a lot of books about it at work, and have been keeping up to date with such stuff online. More on all that later.<br /><br />We have a bunch of stuff coming up, Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, and such.<br /><br />Below are a bunch of pictures from the previous weeks, not an any order because I am tired and ready for bed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-daLNiin2gRc/TrDEdaf_5nI/AAAAAAAADI8/6FESUD8IhfE/s1600/IMG_2682.JPG"><img style="display:block;

My friend Sami does a lot of horse back riding and competition ridding on her horse Red. I have been thinking about having her introduce Atticus to Red for awhile now and just lately we finally got to making definitive plans. Friday morning I dressed Atticus up as a little cowboy and took him over there. Sami had Red all prepped and ready to go when we arrived, so Atticus and I walked up to him to say hello and meet him. I was expecting Atticus to be terrified of such a big creature, but Atticus didn't seem to think anything of Red. We walked him around to his pen, I sat Atticus up on top of him, and Sami showed Atticus how to hold the saddle and the reigns, and off they went, slowly walking around. Atticus immediately yelled, 'Dad look, I am riding a horse!' After riding him around a bit, all three of us brushed Red down, cleaned him a bit, then Atticus got to carry his food around the corner and pour it into his big bowl and watch Red eat his grain, continually informing Red that he was missing some. It was so much, Atticus did not want to leave, and has since mentioned a few times 'Sami said just said text her dad next time we wanna ride the horse..' He is also now convinced that everyone owns a horse, asking where is so and so's horse? Anyways, big thanks to Sami, it was something that Atticus enjoyed SO much.<br /><br />We also got my dad a new big screen TV for his birthday. He does so much for my sister and I watching Atticus and Rhyannon for us when we have work and class, since he is now retired and home. The old TV he had in the living room was a big boxy thing, so my sister, mother and I all went in and got him a new 50" plasma HD flat screen. It looks really nice, and we have been spending the past couple of days figuring out the screen options and which channels are in high def. The other day him, Atticus and I drove all around town to look for a new stand for it. Atticus' cartoons in the morning are so bright and vivid now.<br /><br />Next week Atticus is so excited to come to my works Halloween potluck. I may have told him too far in advance, as he constantly asks about going. Everyone at work is really excited to have cute little Atticus come through and visit. I use to bring him in to work fairly often to visit and everyone just loved him, but as of lately I haven't really brought him in there, so the potluck should be lots of fun.<br /><br />We are also planning on going to the pumpkin patch and carving a pumpkin as well sometime next week. The neighbors did let Atticus come and pick a HUGE pumpkin out of their garden, but I think we may still go to the pumpkin patch anyways.<br /><br />I got to get a chance to go out and have some fun with friends this weekend. I have been working a lot of extra hours the past few weeks, and it was nice to take a day off here and there to go out. A huge group of us went out to eat at Kyotos then the following night Peanut and Abbie had a house warming party at their houses(they are neighbors in a duplex), it was a fun weekend. Next weekend should be lots of fun as well, Atticus does go to his moms for the weekend and stays with her for Halloween as it is his year with him, and I took the weekend off as a few friends and I are going out of town to a big costume party in an armory that Peanut is DJing, I am looking forward to that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PUd1nwwSJto/TqTojjEKnRI/AAAAAAAADGo/HYE8OU_cGIs/s1600/IMG_2520.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PUd1nwwSJto/TqTojjEKnRI/AAAAAAAADGo/HYE8OU_cGIs/s400/IMG_2520.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666909928544705810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kEeHGhDqJVw/TqTojOCLtuI/AAAAAAAADGY/xOAj4zXitkY/s1600/IMG_2513.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kEeHGhDqJVw/TqTojOCLtuI/AAAAAAAADGY/xOAj4zXitkY/s400/IMG_2513.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666909922899244770" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T4iUzK4uKCg/TqToiwxV8PI/AAAAAAAADGM/L5Pos1acAaI/s1600/IMG_2511.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T4iUzK4uKCg/TqToiwxV8PI/AAAAAAAADGM/L5Pos1acAaI/s400/IMG_2511.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666909915043983602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9RTBrYyqHJ0/TqTokSuhTnI/AAAAAAAADG8/1K_cZ-Pqhs0/s1600/IMG_2478.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9RTBrYyqHJ0/TqTokSuhTnI/AAAAAAAADG8/1K_cZ-Pqhs0/s400/IMG_2478.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666909941338820210" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QSN9Nfrg1ZY/TqToCq-TcZI/AAAAAAAADGA/4d6paoys-mU/s1600/IMG_2490.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QSN9Nfrg1ZY/TqToCq-TcZI/AAAAAAAADGA/4d6paoys-mU/s400/IMG_2490.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666909363731919250" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oA7qTfAkH8I/TqTokJKMYbI/AAAAAAAADGw/Ni5nVjbA2DA/s1600/IMG_2545.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oA7qTfAkH8I/TqTokJKMYbI/AAAAAAAADGw/Ni5nVjbA2DA/s400/IMG_2545.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666909938770534834" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-44018862782189137252011-10-13T22:41:00.000-06:002011-10-13T23:14:58.117-06:00Fall.The past few days have seem a bit busy.<br /><br />Last weekend Atticus and I were driving around town and noticed that my car was leaking a lot of oil, like a LOT. We left it at home that night and went to a paleo pot luck at our friends house, with all our friends which was SO delicious. Then Monday Atticus went to his moms for the day and I took the day off work to take my car in to the mechanic. I was so terrified that it being a foreign car that it may turn out to be a $1000+ fix, but it just ended up being that my crank shaft seal was leaking. While they had the car apart they also replaced my timing belt which I had been planning on doing soon anyways. This whole business almost came as a blessing in disguise, as I needing to get that belt replaced, and this incident kind of forced me to do that, plus I got the initial problem fixed, all for the same price just the timing belt alone would have cost down the road.<br /><br />It came at a good time too because I recently have been working a lot of extra hours, I have been getting paid my child support, and also I upgraded to the new iPhone 4S for $200 but instead of keeping it I sold it at $700 even, making a good $4-500 profit. I was bummed not to have a bunch of extra funds as I had planned, but at least I had the extra money to pay for the mechanic costs without draining my savings or effecting spending money to daily things.<br /><br />Atticus and I have been dealing with the changing weather by playing with Play Doh inside, and occasionally getting out and riding his tricycle and 4 wheeler when the weather is better and while we still can. We have gone on a few shopping sprees the past few days, mostly at thrift stores, and I have gotten us some sweet fall outfits without spending relatively too much. Mostly Atticus, now I just need to find places to go to let his fashion free.<br /><br />Atticus had his 3 year old check up the other day and it went really well, everything is normal. The doctor suggested that he now start taking on more chores around the house to help build self-esteem and self worth, helping him to feel important in the functioning of the household. I have been making sure to make him feel useful when we were picking up fallen apples in the backyard and raking up pine needles, among other small things. The doctor also suggested he start getting familiar with a dentist, to today I set up a dental plan through his insurance and I will start taking him for the most basic check ups.<br /><br />Coming up seems like I have a lot going on, but maybe it just feels like that because I have signed up to work so many hours. Atticus goes to his moms for the weekend tomorrow and I will be working a few 10 hour days plus an 8 hour day, just stacking up hours while I can, like I have been all month. Atticus is with him mom this Halloween too, and I think the plan is that he be Yoda from Star Wars.<br /><br />My friend Peanut is DJing in Ontario, Oregon the weekend of Halloween, so a few of my friends and I are crashing there in Ontario for the weekend, should be interesting and I am still trying to figure out my Halloween outfit.<br /><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UlnWHRl1rRY?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="315"></iframe><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zoaT8B5Io7U/Tpe-ZvrTTII/AAAAAAAADFk/StFpPUeOheo/s1600/011.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I was not sure what to expect with it being a game day and an unseasonably hot September Saturday, but lots of friends and family showed up! The bounce house went over great, Atticus should sleep for days tonight after jumping hours away in that thing. So glad a good amount of his little friends and cousins made it to come play. Lots of little babies being passed around and shared at the party, like a baby consignment. Sorry to everyone that we didn't get around to having him open his gifts til late, he really enjoyed all his many toys he got, and clothes! Much thanks to everyone, and thanks to everyone just for the fact of coming to play and visit. I really didn't take too many pictures, which for me is a surprise, but I was just having too much fun visiting with everyone and watching the kids play. (You can click the picture above to see it enlarged.)<br /><br />I gave him his tricycle earlier in the day and he had some success riding it, and really enjoyed it. We will have to get some good use out of it over the next few weeks before it starts getting too chilly to play outside.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Ug93N3_UN8/Tn89FjuhMsI/AAAAAAAADCs/S1ah4pKTAeg/s1600/030.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Ug93N3_UN8/Tn89FjuhMsI/AAAAAAAADCs/S1ah4pKTAeg/s400/030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656306822699627202" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kHe15Prb8Zw/Tn89F_D3U_I/AAAAAAAADC0/4pVWJ_4xQ2c/s1600/026.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kHe15Prb8Zw/Tn89F_D3U_I/AAAAAAAADC0/4pVWJ_4xQ2c/s400/026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656306830036915186" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-77293372896200911592011-09-20T13:38:00.005-06:002011-09-20T14:43:41.063-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H1t_CI5In64/Tnj1uhv73bI/AAAAAAAADCM/w1n9iupCOTw/s1600/2580947220110914122915921.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H1t_CI5In64/Tnj1uhv73bI/AAAAAAAADCM/w1n9iupCOTw/s400/2580947220110914122915921.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654539511845871026" border="0" /></a><br />We are just getting ready and prepared for his birthday party this weekend. We went and looked at cakes today, which is a hard decision because so many of my friends are on the Paleo diet and won't eat sweets, but on the other hand it seems like a lot of people are coming. It is always better to be prepared and have extras I guess. I got him a tricycle as my gift as he has been asking for a bike lately. And by lately I mean for months now. First I saw a really cool one at Walmart, but once I got it home and looked at it I realized that it was too small. I then frantically looked everywhere last minute to find something, and ended up finding something online that got shipped here in time. My dad and I put it together the other night, I hope this one isn't too small as well. Soon it will be too chilly to ride outside and by next summer he will be ready for an actually bike anyways.<br /><br />I have been working a lot of extra hours lately, as it seems a lot of people at work are gone, so they keep offering overtime to us still there, and I take what I can make work with my schedule. Last week he stayed an extra day at his moms while I worked some extra hours, then went and had a Paleo dinner with some friends. I have been reading some great books at work to pass the time. I keep getting books from the library that I see on <a href="http://chuckpalahniuk.net/books">Chuck Palahnik's website</a> that he recommends, because my Amazon recommendations have been failing me lately. I found an author that I love after reading one of his books, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Erasure-Novel-Percival-Everett/dp/1555975992/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316549993&sr=1-1">Erasure</a>, his name being Percival Everett. I went and bought three of his other books online because I enjoyed that first one so much.<br /><br />Went on another long bike ride last weekend, since I had the day off and Atticus was at his moms. The neighbor across the street who also rides a lot had told me about riding to Swan Falls. I looked it up online and it was just a few miles past Kuna, about 60-65 miles round trip from my house. I made a lunch, and headed out mid morning Saturday as the weather was expected to be nice and cool all day. I got on Linder and rode that through Kuna, and it eventually turns into Swan Falls Road and eventually you follow the Snake River, and once there, you ride almost straight down hill into the canyon for two miles to come up right along next to the river, down to the 'falls'. The falls being nothing more than a damn. I had a quick lunch, and headed back up that two miles of steep, steep road to get back out of the canyon. That was so miserable, then the rest of the way, I realized that on the ride out there the wind had been pushing me, and now, headed home, the wind was working against me in every way possible, and was quite cold too. It was no fun, but I powered through it. As always with me and my bike, coming through Kuna I got a flat tire. I replaced it with the one single tube I had, and noticed the front was flat too. I was out of luck at that point and crashed out in the shade and called my dad to come get me, I completed about 53 miles at that point.<br /><br />Atticus got to meet Clifford the Big Red Dog the other day at the library. I had to sit back a ways away from him, and surprisingly, when Clifford came out, Atticus was not hesitant at all to go right up to him and shake his paw. Then later in the week when we stopped at the bike store, the Oscar Meyer wiener mobile was in the parking lot, with Mr. Peanut and an Oreo Cookie person dressed up, and Atticus was very weary of them, even with their arms outreached with candy and toys.<br /><br />My dad and I finished the rock wall for Atticus. He got to help paint it, which he thought was just great, though he used the paint brush more like a spoon, and was scooping the paint, instead of just dabbing it in there. He also got to be a little lab rat while we tried to decided where to put the actually rock holds, my dad and me having him climb while we strategically watched his foot and hand patterns and placement.<br /><br />We went to Monkey Bizness at some point last week, later going to his friend Nobles house while I worked out.<br /><br />Should be a fun birthday party for him this Saturday though. My parents decided to rent a jump house for the occasion, and we have invited all his little friends, a lot of my friends, family, and kids from a round the neighborhood just to make sure this bounce house gets used.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-18Xo9gSRleA/TnjynSxM0II/AAAAAAAADCA/hHdFz6hYpBY/s1600/005.PNG"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fhWTr-OxZjM/TnjuvigK7KI/AAAAAAAADBE/sRS9rwrRV_M/s1600/010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fhWTr-OxZjM/TnjuvigK7KI/AAAAAAAADBE/sRS9rwrRV_M/s400/010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654531832646659234" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AyXehttjf7I/TnjuvWgvsSI/AAAAAAAADA8/TGxiRwXjVTI/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AyXehttjf7I/TnjuvWgvsSI/AAAAAAAADA8/TGxiRwXjVTI/s400/003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654531829427843362" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pAMCmw2mX-Q/Tnjuv3sIpFI/AAAAAAAADBM/nlROsCalGmE/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pAMCmw2mX-Q/Tnjuv3sIpFI/AAAAAAAADBM/nlROsCalGmE/s400/001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654531838333985874" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GKgl-DV2Y7I/Tnjvg3l3IAI/AAAAAAAADBk/KU01oiwiDMU/s1600/017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GKgl-DV2Y7I/Tnjvg3l3IAI/AAAAAAAADBk/KU01oiwiDMU/s400/017.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654532680121262082" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gb10Feh8-cQ/TnjuwB2SjHI/AAAAAAAADBU/hAQa2tw6jK4/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gb10Feh8-cQ/TnjuwB2SjHI/AAAAAAAADBU/hAQa2tw6jK4/s400/003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654531841060932722" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DEr7HytsJbc/Tnjuwbg6AVI/AAAAAAAADBc/LOvuSVHjZGg/s1600/007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DEr7HytsJbc/Tnjuwbg6AVI/AAAAAAAADBc/LOvuSVHjZGg/s400/007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654531847950565714" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-El3FBVuZS9w/TnjvhNKA86I/AAAAAAAADBs/uMwu45YPUjY/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-El3FBVuZS9w/TnjvhNKA86I/AAAAAAAADBs/uMwu45YPUjY/s400/003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654532685910045602" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-18Xo9gSRleA/TnjynSxM0II/AAAAAAAADCA/hHdFz6hYpBY/s1600/005.PNG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-18Xo9gSRleA/TnjynSxM0II/AAAAAAAADCA/hHdFz6hYpBY/s400/005.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654536089030676610" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GKgl-DV2Y7I/Tnjvg3l3IAI/AAAAAAAADBk/KU01oiwiDMU/s1600/017.JPG"><br /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-92213168022853642112011-09-06T21:40:00.009-06:002011-09-06T22:48:01.211-06:00Busy, past few days.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nP_SUp8Ccrs/Tmb0zQZdcoI/AAAAAAAADAs/juu7Mc-xF8k/s1600/022.JPG"><br /></a><br /><br />It has been a busy past few days for me and Atti. Last week Atticus and I went to our friend Colleen and Beth's to go swimming. We all got lunch first, then went swimming, then we walked through the M.K. Nature Center and saw the fish, and the 'dead' fish, and Atticus tried getting us kicked out by feeding the fish an acorn when no one was looking. After that we all went for dinner at Quik Wok, then next door to Honks for 88 cent Tuesdays for CANDY! Atticus danced the rest of the night away and fell asleep in the car before we hit the connector. It was such a fun busy day with friends. Wednesday we went to his friend Nobles house to play, and I worked out. Killed my arms for DAYS now. Then after, we went wedding gift shopping with Caitlin and Peyton, then play time.<br /><br />The next few days I loaded up on hours to have some extra spending money, on top of that my friends Matt and Lubi got married. Thursday night we had Matt's bachelor party. We started out on our bikes at our friend Sam and Cody's house, about 8 of us headed to the liquor store, then down to Peanut and J-Rads new apartment for BBQ, music, video games, and all around partying. We did that for awhile, and when everyone was successfully drunk(except me), we hopped back on our bikes and headed for the Veterans Memorial pond. This was about 2am and we all jumped in and went swimming. Surprisingly the water was really warm. Perfect ending to a fun night.<br /><br />Friday Atticus went to his moms for the weekend, and after work I went to a pre-wedding feast at Matts in-laws house, which was the most delicious largest amount of food that I had eaten in awhile. Saturday I put in a few extra hours at work, went to my cousins house warming party, then went and picked up Caitlin and headed to the wedding! The wedding was so much fun, and such an interesting thing to take part of. The whole thing was done is a traditional Laotian way as Lubi is Laotian. More great food, and great dancing, and getting to see all my friends in one place.<br /><br />Sunday I worked again all day, then went to Sam and Cody's for a fire pit to say goodbye to everyone that was in town for the wedding, and say goodbye to Matt and Lubi who are off to Disney World for the next few days! Monday my dad and I ran a bunch of errands for my mom for the yard, we then, mid day, started on the project that we had planned to do, which was build a rock wall ladder for Atticus to use to climb up into his play fort. I will post pictures of it when it is finished, as we are still waiting for the rock wall holds to come in the mail. Atticus ended up coming home earlier than expected and helped my dad and I paint the wall, which he thought was just great. Monday night I went to bed super early, as I had plans to wake up at 5;30am to meet my friend Cody for breakfast, as we were going to ride up Bogus Basin road that morning. Bogus Basin road takes you to the local ski resort here in Boise, but the road up there is 3600 feet of elevation gain in 15.7 miles. So, pretty much you are riding uphill for 16 miles. It was such an awesome experience. I was a bit scared going into it, but in the end it was honestly not as bad as I was expecting. After a few miles the endorphins kicked in, and I started feeling a bit euphoric and talkative, and Cody and I stayed side by side, and talked. The talking helped me to not notice my hamstrings that felt on fire or my lungs that felt empty. In the end I made it the 16 miles 2 hours 5 minutes, and Cody did it in 1 hour 59 minutes. We then had a brief lunch up there, and headed back down. Oh my goodness it was scary. It was a lot of fun, but scary taking some of those turns so fast, on our bikes that honestly aren't meant for those speeds. Going the same length down hill only took us 38 minutes with a top speed of 36 miles an hour. Such an awesome thing to do and I can not wait to do it again next year and can not wait to do some more riding as the weather turns cooler here into the next months. Atticus and I then spent most of the day with his friend Noble, Sam and Cody.<br /><br />Not sure what Atticus and I have planned for the rest of the week. We are probably going to Peanut sisters wedding this weekend though. I did set and plan Atticus' birthday party for later in the month, and I am pretty excited. There should be a lot of kids there, a lot of friends, and my parents are renting a jump house for the day for the kids to play in, which should be very exciting for them.<br /><br />Also <a href="http://thededicatedservers.wordpress.com/">the Dedicated Servers</a> released <a href="http://youtu.be/cO8vY8bmt0U">the video for their new song 'Paleo'</a> and I took the picture for the <a href="http://dedicatedservers.bandcamp.com/track/paleo">cover for the single</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l4DUiGxCwn0/TmbxE9skIiI/AAAAAAAAC-k/19fRxQSQum4/s1600/004.JPG"><img style="display:block;

<br />It has been awhile since I have posted...
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />We have been keeping busy.
<br />
<br />Got all my old Legos out yesterday for him, a large box of them, that has kept him busy, and happy.
<br />
<br />We have been doing a lot of swimming at my friend Caitlin's, at Colleen & Beth's too.
<br />
<br />We have been doing exercise days, once a week, the last two times we have walked to the library, so he gets a good half mile walk.
<br />
<br />Lots of BBQing outside.
<br />
<br />My friend at work made Atticus and me cupcakes.
<br />
<br />We got the <a href="http://www.thededicatedservers.com/">Dedicated Servers</a> website finished and released.
<br />
<br />I went for a 57 mile bike ride last weekend while he was at his moms.
<br />
<br />Next week is Matt & Lubi's wedding!
<br />
<br />A few weekends ago all us guys went on DBR(Drunken Bike Ride) around town. So much fun, we lost one guy, then ended the night by swimming in pond off the Green Belt. So fun.
<br />
<br />Time to start planning his third birthday soon!
<br />
<br />Been going to some local hip-hop shows..
<br />
<br />I have finally started reading the book <a href="http://whttp//www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifwwhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif.amazon.com/Fight-Club-Novel-Chuck-Palahniuk/dp/0393327345/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1314475985&sr=8-2">Fight Club</a>, omg, so amazing. I can't believe I never took the time to read it before, as I have read plenty of other books by Chuck Palahnuik. I also read the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Freakonomics-Economist-Explores-Hidden-Everything/dp/0060731338/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314475944&sr=8-1">Freaknomics</a> which was really good too, I then went and bought it.
<br />http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
<br />I have been listening to a lot of the <a href="http://the-weeknd.com/">Weeknd</a>, as he released a new <a href="http://www.the-weeknd.com/TheWeeknd_____Thursday.zip">mixtape</a> tape last week. So good.
<br />
<br />I ordered a fish eye lens for my iPhone, lols, pretty excited to take some awesomely lame photos with that!

<br />Atticus and I have stayed pretty busy the past week and weekends and such. We went to my friend Matt's dads 60th birthday party at his residence, all of us required to wear hats. I got a picture of Atticus and I's outfits.
<br />
<br />I have been helping Peanut and Jared move into their new apartment, which he is now finally moved into. Peanut gave me a big white board that I surprised Atticus with as a gift to draw on! He loves it.
<br />
<br />My friend Jamie contacted me about the possibility of Atticus being in a child's fashion blog/website/webzine. I sent her his 'portfolio'.
<br />
<br />I have been on the look for a new job, a new part-time job as my hours get cut here and there and I would like something more steady.
<br />
<br />Caitlin and I went and saw my friend Pat from Florida perform some dubstep and we danced our faces off all night, then went and ate and hung out. Good dancing, and I don't remember Pat being 7 feet tall.
<br />
<br />Aunt Courtney brought Atticus home an 8ft long strip of large bubble wrap that he enjoyed running along. I made a video of my niece Rhyannon jumping in her jumper.

We have been at the library, we went to the mall the other day and he got to play with a few of his friends at the mall play area for awhile; Noble, Eli, Parker and Peyton. That was the day that our friend Peanut was DJing at Express in the mall so we went to go say hello. We went to my cousins birthday party, where Atticus got to play in the pool with his little second cousins and such. We then went out to Nampa to Flying M for some live music and dancing. Sno-cones and etc. I got to go hiking with my friend Caitlin, then she treated me out to some delicious sushi at Ichiban. Did you know they deep fry sushi? Best thing ever. Not sure what we are doing all week, going to his friend Nobles Wednesday night, then Saturday we have a friends fathers birthday party to attend. Other than that we are free! Here are a bunch of photos from the past few week or so.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jiova6AHgJM/TjhoOqlxneI/AAAAAAAAC7A/i-Fp3nSym1k/s1600/028.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jiova6AHgJM/TjhoOqlxneI/AAAAAAAAC7A/i-Fp3nSym1k/s400/028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636369534814363106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g-7LPylwCW8/TjhoOWYWOUI/AAAAAAAAC64/k1WK5rlzWSk/s1600/007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g-7LPylwCW8/TjhoOWYWOUI/AAAAAAAAC64/k1WK5rlzWSk/s400/007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636369529389332802" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6_eVtHZSSe8/TjhoNzekX9I/AAAAAAAAC6w/9lt5QVbRo_Y/s1600/048.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6_eVtHZSSe8/TjhoNzekX9I/AAAAAAAAC6w/9lt5QVbRo_Y/s400/048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636369520020185042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XDcx1uOPMvE/TjhoO1dfzhI/AAAAAAAAC7I/DZpkkECZ6S8/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XDcx1uOPMvE/TjhoO1dfzhI/AAAAAAAAC7I/DZpkkECZ6S8/s400/006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636369537732431378" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TGzVoohPPgY/TjhnWCs6MXI/AAAAAAAAC6c/ylg0wIZdnTs/s1600/026.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TGzVoohPPgY/TjhnWCs6MXI/AAAAAAAAC6c/ylg0wIZdnTs/s400/026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636368562034192754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M3nWsBhafEI/TjhnVkqZIYI/AAAAAAAAC6U/8zmA-riJo9Y/s1600/027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M3nWsBhafEI/TjhnVkqZIYI/AAAAAAAAC6U/8zmA-riJo9Y/s400/027.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636368553970573698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8eX7LpRzp2Y/TjhnVmD2KpI/AAAAAAAAC6M/o4ER9akkc2I/s1600/028.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8eX7LpRzp2Y/TjhnVmD2KpI/AAAAAAAAC6M/o4ER9akkc2I/s400/028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636368554345769618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cSfyl4bfSr0/TjhnVGGfcUI/AAAAAAAAC6E/ZsRwYxoGwSQ/s1600/030.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cSfyl4bfSr0/TjhnVGGfcUI/AAAAAAAAC6E/ZsRwYxoGwSQ/s400/030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636368545766928706" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i-HnmWawiHo/TjhnWce6_YI/AAAAAAAAC6k/OhRlUJvdkzQ/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i-HnmWawiHo/TjhnWce6_YI/AAAAAAAAC6k/OhRlUJvdkzQ/s400/006.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636368568954846594" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-57852574868763706392011-07-24T22:05:00.009-06:002011-07-25T23:53:46.664-06:00"Looking forward to the memories of right now.'The other day I had a discussion with my parents. I think it started because I mentioned to them that I was taking the fall semester off from school. I mentioned to them that I will have to start paying back my student loans. In a generalized way, we discussed mine and Atticus' current lives right now.<br /><br />Society views someone at my age as a failure who is living with his parents. I asked my parents if they agreed. If I should quit my 28- hour a week job, start looking for full time decent work and try and get out of there and be on my own.<br /><br />I am happy with my life right now. I only work very part time, yet since I don't have that many bills I am still able to afford to pay the bills, to have extra spending money, and to build a savings in my name, Atticus' name, and a college savings in his name all at different banks and be able to add to them a few times a month.<br /><br />I fought to have Atticus full time. I fought for this not to put him in a day care or leave him with someone else and go leave to work. I fought to have him, to be with him. At this point in my life, I am capable of doing so much stuff with him. On a weekly basis we are constantly going out on outings, to places like the water park, bike rides, go out for treats, the zoo, play areas and parks, and various other random things. We are going to visit both his friends and mine, we are able to do so much, all because I live at home and do not a have a rent/morgage bill to pay or the other bills that come with renting or home ownership, and since I don't have to pay something like that I don't have to work as much, so in-turn, I am able to focus my time with Atticus. He is never at a daycare, he is constantly with someone he loves that loves him.<br /><br />Sure I have to live at home. But other than saying that and having people 'think less of me' because of that, that is really the only down fall I see in it. I know in the back of my mind that Atticus and I will eventually have to provide entirely for ourselves and we will not have all this time together because I will have to work a real full-time job, but that is down the road. Tomorrow is never promised so I live for today.<br /><br />I am so happy in my life right now and I can see that Atticus is for his too. I work very few hours, I hardly ever have to wake up to an alarm clock, I have wonderful friends, cute girls, a fast car, have time to myself for my social life, my hobbies, have a stylish little son, who is smart, friendly, cute. Already potty trained! A loving family, so much time to do new things with my son, to cook us good food, to relax and play out back with my little man. I don't mean to brag or sound cocky, I am just verbalizing my gratitude for the things I have in my life because at any moment it can all fall down.<br /><br />So after talking to my parents they in no way look down on me, they do not think I am any sort of failure, and they agree with my choices in life. They SEE the time I spend with Atticus and the time I focus on him. The look forward to knowing everyday they will see their little bundle of joy grandson, and in no way are annoyed by having him around, it is something that some grandparents would give anything for. With that comes the closeness and strength of a family. Not only does he have immediate family to go to for help, ideas, or support, he will also have his Grandparents there who he will obviously be very close with.<br /><br />Life is about being happy. I am happy, Atticus is happy. We have the common needs any human has fulfilled. We enjoy life, that is most important, not what other people think.<br /><br />On a different note, I went for a 48 mile bike ride yesterday as I had the day off and Atticus is at his moms for the weekend. Such a beautiful ride. Country roads, barns, downtown Nampa, highway, the Greenbelt, downtown Boise, then city streets. I got a good mix of everything. I really enjoyed it.<br /><br />Been staying busy doing Dedicated Server stuff and just having fun with friends. Exciting stuff coming up this week! As for today, I think Atticus and I are off to get sno-cones with Owen for his birthday.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9i-QZNkYbdg/TizzCJH5m1I/AAAAAAAACpA/rOjqxiDGn4s/s1600/IMG_1547.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bTUu_QktHGE/TizzCZIVhuI/AAAAAAAACpI/le7YOC7fTZk/s1600/IMG_1552.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sQe9wGF3qL8/TizysKyvBAI/AAAAAAAACo4/2SJWMYA67Qg/s1600/IMG_1533.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9i-QZNkYbdg/TizzCJH5m1I/AAAAAAAACpA/rOjqxiDGn4s/s1600/IMG_1547.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9i-QZNkYbdg/TizzCJH5m1I/AAAAAAAACpA/rOjqxiDGn4s/s400/IMG_1547.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633144452067990354" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bTUu_QktHGE/TizzCZIVhuI/AAAAAAAACpI/le7YOC7fTZk/s1600/IMG_1552.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bTUu_QktHGE/TizzCZIVhuI/AAAAAAAACpI/le7YOC7fTZk/s400/IMG_1552.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633144456364787426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sQe9wGF3qL8/TizysKyvBAI/AAAAAAAACo4/2SJWMYA67Qg/s1600/IMG_1533.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 277px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sQe9wGF3qL8/TizysKyvBAI/AAAAAAAACo4/2SJWMYA67Qg/s400/IMG_1533.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633144074558964738" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XT3eQkNJhIE/Ti3GemsAH1I/AAAAAAAACpY/wDzgyHfr0vg/s1600/084.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XT3eQkNJhIE/Ti3GemsAH1I/AAAAAAAACpY/wDzgyHfr0vg/s400/084.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633376937993838418" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-67167885257896538752011-07-19T23:02:00.003-06:002011-07-19T23:15:07.552-06:00Yesterday Atticus and I helped Grandpa fix the sprinklers, then tried getting the sockets that SOMEONE stuffed down the handle bars of my cruiser. Then we washed Grandmas car. He then went to his moms for the night as I worked, then I went to a friends. Today I went and picked him up, and then we went grocery shopping, went to Monkey Bizness, and came home and I cooked some good dinner while he watered the lawn. I downloaded a bunch of new games/learning things on my phone for him, and he is slowly becoming an expert. He has been using the potty 247 now with little to no accidents, so nice. Tomorrow Atti and I are riding our bikes to Starbucks to drop something off with Peanut, then heading to the Library. After nap we are going to head to his friend Nobles. Not sure what our plans are on Thursday. I do have to work a bit later in the evening, but maybe sno-cones earlier in the day?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n9TlgOak0uw/TiZjsGPklKI/AAAAAAAACoo/xevlLXNz5Q0/s1600/014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n9TlgOak0uw/TiZjsGPklKI/AAAAAAAACoo/xevlLXNz5Q0/s400/014.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631297993314702498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cssUyGtBS3c/TiZjsV3plPI/AAAAAAAACow/PCfYP5LL5n4/s1600/023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cssUyGtBS3c/TiZjsV3plPI/AAAAAAAACow/PCfYP5LL5n4/s400/023.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631297997509334258" border="0" /></a><br /><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0hdQmd0uug0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-60918842131915202842011-07-17T13:32:00.003-06:002011-07-17T13:51:55.395-06:00Atticus and I spent some time listening to some live music the other night, with a lot of our friends. Saturday morning we went with our friend Peanut to the Boise Art Museum to participate in a craft day where we got to use shoes as canvases. We then walked around the Saturday Market downtown and ate, got dessert too. We went for a bike ride today. Tonight we go pick up Grandma and Grandpa from the airport and we might go to a BBQ with our friend Peanut later. Not sure. This last week, I worked, and we spent a lot of time outdoors. Tomorrow he goes to his moms for the night. I am trying to think of some plans for him and I next week, but he may be visiting with his Grandma and Grandpa who are going to be excited to see him.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WpNV6O961P0/TiM7E0BpqtI/AAAAAAAACog/iQAXhxXsrks/s1600/010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WpNV6O961P0/TiM7E0BpqtI/AAAAAAAACog/iQAXhxXsrks/s400/010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630408913014336210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MJ4CqLrku2U/TiM6fWeKA4I/AAAAAAAACoA/iTUmajA8SAE/s1600/033.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2CPoHOnVuV8/TiM6fO0cqeI/AAAAAAAACn4/sjnM6z_dw6Y/s1600/043.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2CPoHOnVuV8/TiM6fO0cqeI/AAAAAAAACn4/sjnM6z_dw6Y/s400/043.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630408267371686370" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VRc2a6NoIpo/TiM6ezgnMEI/AAAAAAAACnw/W4Lq_sqdpAE/s1600/042.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VRc2a6NoIpo/TiM6ezgnMEI/AAAAAAAACnw/W4Lq_sqdpAE/s400/042.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630408260040732738" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v5PWdGzuJ90/TiM6f6r1WhI/AAAAAAAACoQ/DcrnEYp5Oik/s1600/045.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v5PWdGzuJ90/TiM6f6r1WhI/AAAAAAAACoQ/DcrnEYp5Oik/s400/045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630408279146715666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k52Kkbr40us/TiM6fuoh9JI/AAAAAAAACoI/Wi1USGULLRM/s1600/062.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k52Kkbr40us/TiM6fuoh9JI/AAAAAAAACoI/Wi1USGULLRM/s400/062.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630408275911636114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0F_PSna3B_4/TiM7EiKUN7I/AAAAAAAACoY/vqGHZHEFuQ8/s1600/072.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0F_PSna3B_4/TiM7EiKUN7I/AAAAAAAACoY/vqGHZHEFuQ8/s400/072.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630408908218841010" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-53001991478564908982011-07-13T14:28:00.002-06:002011-07-13T14:31:14.012-06:00Time to Nap.Made Atticus a song to help him sleep today..<br /><br />Also we went to the park yesterday, got sno-cones with my friends.

She was out of town for my birthday. She got me the most awesome t-shirt, lol. 'Do I Look Friendy?' We went and walked along the river in Barber park, sat and ate cupcakes, then I repeatedly hurt myself on the play ground over there. It was a really fun time. Worked all day today, tonight going to go do some DS stuff then bed. I go get the boy in the morning, and am not sure what we are doing with our two days together before I get back on the grind. I have this weekend off, Atticus and I are not going camping, so we will probably go to some shows around town, ride out bikes, and enjoy the weather. We go pick up Grandma and Grandpa Sunday, and who knows what they have for him, and how excited they will be to see him..<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Dzs_2ItPw0/Thu4Qu79hCI/AAAAAAAACnU/iy3XXxT7_Rw/s1600/4d0a53d9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Dzs_2ItPw0/Thu4Qu79hCI/AAAAAAAACnU/iy3XXxT7_Rw/s400/4d0a53d9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628294756946510882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7oQrlJlwyIs/Thu4QzFtKfI/AAAAAAAACnc/RCgtbYO9JdA/s1600/6764c07d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7oQrlJlwyIs/Thu4QzFtKfI/AAAAAAAACnc/RCgtbYO9JdA/s400/6764c07d.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628294758061124082" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-37046244352499733552011-07-10T19:05:00.003-06:002011-07-10T19:27:45.727-06:00Quick post.It has been awhile since I have posted. It was been a long and different few days with my parents gone, Atticus gone at his moms, and me working more. So I will get everything out of order.<br /><br />Ummm, had a fun forth of July with friends. BBQ some food lit off some fireworks, ate good. Went home.<br /><br />Hung out and watched a funny movie with my friend from work with her family, had her over to show her where the person who has been living in our front yard stays.<br /><br />Drew Atticus some cool new shoez dood. Cheap shoes from Walmart that I made cool.<br /><br />Went on two 25 mile bike rides. One out in Star later in the evening, one days later from my house down to the greenbelt and back, in which I stupidly got sunburnt during. So nice, so enjoyable. Especially going along country roads in Star, I just love this new bike.<br /><br />Cooked some good food.<br /><br />Hung out with a good friend that moved away and suddenly was back. He surprised us!<br /><br />My good friend Caitlin got me a belated birthday gift and I am going to go meet up with her here in a bit! Yay. Work tomorrow, spend two day with Atticus, then work, take him camping, then things go back to normal.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i_wGZ_BMyVk/ThpNYhp0_VI/AAAAAAAACnE/wQ63ePvrNk0/s1600/IMG_1413.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i_wGZ_BMyVk/ThpNYhp0_VI/AAAAAAAACnE/wQ63ePvrNk0/s400/IMG_1413.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627895768098864466" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lI_Wk064rWI/ThpNYJR4cfI/AAAAAAAACm8/qQYmUrZ_C6E/s1600/IMG_1412.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lI_Wk064rWI/ThpNYJR4cfI/AAAAAAAACm8/qQYmUrZ_C6E/s400/IMG_1412.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627895761555976690" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PyLtRfMCdwc/ThpNYjhKNNI/AAAAAAAACnM/QTG-yAGVykc/s1600/IMG_1416.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PyLtRfMCdwc/ThpNYjhKNNI/AAAAAAAACnM/QTG-yAGVykc/s400/IMG_1416.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627895768599377106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f0_8LcBaWyU/ThpNAaIUrkI/AAAAAAAACms/TGsUaM595ig/s1600/IMG_1408.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f0_8LcBaWyU/ThpNAaIUrkI/AAAAAAAACms/TGsUaM595ig/s400/IMG_1408.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627895353762426434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-63RdCV0BYxQ/ThpNANO3c6I/AAAAAAAACmk/sfGcbC8qpA0/s1600/IMG_1407.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-63RdCV0BYxQ/ThpNANO3c6I/AAAAAAAACmk/sfGcbC8qpA0/s400/IMG_1407.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627895350300210082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dw6f9TkBhio/ThpM_xjus4I/AAAAAAAACmc/jcEdU1H9SfQ/s1600/IMG_1403.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dw6f9TkBhio/ThpM_xjus4I/AAAAAAAACmc/jcEdU1H9SfQ/s400/IMG_1403.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627895342871524226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rbxhkWIQW8w/ThpM_mIE2fI/AAAAAAAACmU/4HfROUGDers/s1600/IMG_1402.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rbxhkWIQW8w/ThpM_mIE2fI/AAAAAAAACmU/4HfROUGDers/s400/IMG_1402.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627895339802745330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wXnpCge_IvU/ThpNAng8BzI/AAAAAAAACm0/46xsdudl9G0/s1600/IMG_1411.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wXnpCge_IvU/ThpNAng8BzI/AAAAAAAACm0/46xsdudl9G0/s400/IMG_1411.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627895357355329330" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-38011348812383093322011-07-04T15:38:00.005-06:002011-07-04T16:03:00.074-06:00post..Atticus and I have had a busy past week and weekend. We went to Roaring Springs Tuesday for what seemed like the entire day. It was really hot, really packed, but we had fun, we both got wet, and neither of us got burnt. Wednesday we went swimming at my friend Colleen and Beth's pool, went to the park, had cake, and then Mcdonalds. It was a busy day for Atticus and once home he crashed out. Thursday his mom asked to have him for a bit during the day, so I took him over there, then I went and met with some friends to work on stuff. I then went back and picked up Atticus, and we meet some friends at China Grand Buffet to eat! Friday I was back to work after more than a week off. Atticus stayed back with Grandma and Grandpa. Saturday I woke up feeling miserable, but Atticus and I chugged on and helped grandpa do some yard work. Then after we both took naps, he got a spontaneous hair cut for the summer. Sunday I worked again and after I got home and picked Atticus up we headed to our friends 3rd of July BBQ. Today he went to his moms for the night, I am at Starbucks doing some work, then tonight might go to a friends BBQ or...<br /><br />My parents leave this week for LA to visit family for a little over two weeks. They are my baby sitters when I work, so while they are gone Atticus is going to be spending some extra time at his moms instead of me finding sitters. It will be nice for both him and her to spend some extra time together. It will be a chance for me to work some extra hours, relax, and hang out with friends. I will miss him tremendously, but it is only for a bit, and I will still make time to see him. If I keep busy I think I will be okay. We do have tentative plans to go camping with Noble and Cody in the middle of it anyways, so that will help.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-25OOKwesKJo/ThI24750woI/AAAAAAAAClw/i3xKH-ooTE8/s1600/Picture%2B006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-25OOKwesKJo/ThI24750woI/AAAAAAAAClw/i3xKH-ooTE8/s400/Picture%2B006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625619236319969922" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wdOYc_iwgIM/ThI2pnz4FSI/AAAAAAAAClg/_rm70qV80Zg/s1600/Picture%2B004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 244px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wdOYc_iwgIM/ThI2pnz4FSI/AAAAAAAAClg/_rm70qV80Zg/s400/Picture%2B004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625618973228274978" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0G7kpxAzY1k/ThI2otdNzkI/AAAAAAAAClY/X9kvcArX8DQ/s1600/Picture%2B003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0G7kpxAzY1k/ThI2otdNzkI/AAAAAAAAClY/X9kvcArX8DQ/s400/Picture%2B003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625618957563973186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b5X6cYEUH_0/ThI2oNjLNZI/AAAAAAAAClQ/bFaSU7pd1vk/s1600/Picture%2B002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b5X6cYEUH_0/ThI2oNjLNZI/AAAAAAAAClQ/bFaSU7pd1vk/s400/Picture%2B002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625618948999034258" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tS_ZHRzuECM/ThI2nuyaqlI/AAAAAAAAClI/yyAygZzH0WQ/s1600/Picture%2B001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tS_ZHRzuECM/ThI2nuyaqlI/AAAAAAAAClI/yyAygZzH0WQ/s400/Picture%2B001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625618940741462610" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OTihPqZmLvg/ThI2pweYkcI/AAAAAAAAClo/qJt99JeEkB8/s1600/Picture%2B005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OTihPqZmLvg/ThI2pweYkcI/AAAAAAAAClo/qJt99JeEkB8/s400/Picture%2B005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625618975554048450" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4248755071908486120.post-18365492364020739832011-06-26T22:32:00.007-06:002011-06-26T23:05:16.422-06:00...camping.Wednesday Atticus and I went to the Discovery Center, then we went for sno-cones, then we went downtown with Peanut for Alive After Five and met up with our friend Alina and her co-worker. Atticus was not interested in getting in the fountain down there but he was so curious about the giant dressed up Power Ball person. Atticus must have given that ball 5 high fives and 'fists', all at separate times through out the evening. Then Uncle Peanut bought us Aspen Leaf yogurt, then after that Atticus got to do his favorite thing in the world which is play video games with Jarad!<br /><br />Thursday morning I had a court date(don't worry, I didn't get myself into trouble) while Atticus stayed back and went shopping with Grandma. Once I finally got home I had to change, hop on my bike, and head to work. After work, Atticus, Grandma, Aunt Courtney, Rhyannon and I mad Grandmas mothers day gift. It was a stone garden decoration that the two wee ones got to put their hands and feet into.<br /><br />Friday Atticus went to his mom early for the weekend as I was headed out of town with my friends to go rough it outdoors till Sunday! We headed out of town around 2pm with our caravan of people, Ammo and I in my dads truck. We headed to a spot about 22 miles out past Idaho City close to an area called Rabbit Creek. Cody and some of the others had previously camped there a few years back and enjoyed it. We found a sweet secluded spot real close to the river, with shade, enough space four our whole crew, hidden from the road, it had everything. It ended up being Bryan, Cody, Sam, Peanut, Matt, Lubi, Jarad, Owen, Becka, Tom, Abbie and me plus the two dogs Hank and Stella. Cody cooked us all up delicious meals the entire time we were there for each meal. We all went and explored, packed in fire wood, raced around with our shirts off, almost lost Owen too. It was such a nice time, fun jokes, good people, a warm fire, good food, perfect weather. It did get pretty damn cold at night, but during the day as soon as the sun came over the hills, it got warm quick. By Sunday morning none of us really wanted to leave but at the same time, we were beat and ready to be home, showered and relaxing in our homes. I really enjoyed my time up there, and I am so glad that I have a close group of friends that I truly enjoy. It had been awhile since I camped, and this weekend treated me well.<br /><br />Tomorrow, maybe workout, maybe work, not sure. Tuesday morning I go get Atticus and we have the week ahead of us!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AZjidZ-rS7k/TggONhhCH8I/AAAAAAAAClA/wPUSz582j6Q/s1600/IMG_1202.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1naXeIkNg44/TggN3SOBhvI/AAAAAAAACkw/Cg36aUd3K7A/s1600/IMG_1202.JPG"><br /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wexq1MO0wpI/TggNbPEAOSI/AAAAAAAACko/5L_iJQ3lTrk/s1600/IMG_1208.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5J8M1rWn8ok/TggN3-ZYVfI/AAAAAAAACk4/BPMui5wFBWs/s1600/IMG_1195.JPG"><img style="display:block;

It is enjoyable to me to see plays, so realistic and almost surreal to have people so close to you, acting. It it like the most expensive, more realistic, most HD television ever. It was a funny show.<br /><br />Saturday Atticus and I kept it low key, and did not do much, I was just glad to have the day off. Saturday night we all went to a friends birthday party. He requested that everyone dress up. We all dressed up, met new people, and the DJ for the night, one of our friends, put on a Dedicated Servers instrumental and Peanut and Matt threw down an impromptu show at this party, rapping into headphones(which I learned turn into microphones if plugged into the mic jack). It was such an epic thing to be a part of.<br /><br />I had to work Fathers Day, but came home to spend it with Atticus. I was kind of bummed in the morning about the fact that I had not requested the day off, but was glad to just get home.<br /><br />Monday after we ran some errands, Atticus went to his moms for the night, I worked for a bit, then met up with Matt to talk about some big plans for the future. I am pretty excited for the future about something new I will be doing, but I will wait to say it.<br /><br />I picked Atticus up this morning, then after he took his nap we headed to the Discovery Center, then we drove out to Settlers park to play and have a small picnic. Then headed home and we fried up some steaks, and he watered Grandmas plants.<br /><br />Tomorrow I would like to do some shopping, maybe all on our bikes. Otherwise Atticus and I do not have any real big plans this week.<br /><br />I personally am excited for this weekend. He is going to his mothers house, and I am going with a large group of friends to do some real rough neck camping for three days two nights. Pretty excited for that.<br /><br />Here are some pictures from the past few days.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KUPnI7-CIGk/TgGCHtUuajI/AAAAAAAACjY/owP5dDp174w/s1600/IMG_1188.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KUPnI7-CIGk/TgGCHtUuajI/AAAAAAAACjY/owP5dDp174w/s400/IMG_1188.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620916878872308274" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D1GrPAX0sHU/TgGBt1Gah0I/AAAAAAAACjI/hX8VpFX2A4A/s1600/IMG_1141.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D1GrPAX0sHU/TgGBt1Gah0I/AAAAAAAACjI/hX8VpFX2A4A/s400/IMG_1141.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620916434283169602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NDRI2Yr2sFU/TgGBtaKGj5I/AAAAAAAACjA/2RXm5zr1ItM/s1600/IMG_1117.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NDRI2Yr2sFU/TgGBtaKGj5I/AAAAAAAACjA/2RXm5zr1ItM/s400/IMG_1117.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620916427050880914" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3GskLi3k0dU/TgGBs_owWjI/AAAAAAAACi4/jZeY-jn_xF4/s1600/IMG_1115.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3GskLi3k0dU/TgGBs_owWjI/AAAAAAAACi4/jZeY-jn_xF4/s400/IMG_1115.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620916419931691570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmBqEOgrp6s/TgGBsWFBPNI/AAAAAAAACiw/PQ9WMttcaLY/s1600/IMG_1089.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZmBqEOgrp6s/TgGBsWFBPNI/AAAAAAAACiw/PQ9WMttcaLY/s400/IMG_1089.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620916408775949522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cEwJv8JBJGM/TgGBuCQBKkI/AAAAAAAACjQ/2gnpSCcVBuY/s1600/IMG_1161.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cEwJv8JBJGM/TgGBuCQBKkI/AAAAAAAACjQ/2gnpSCcVBuY/s400/IMG_1161.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620916437813111362" border="0" /></a>Kyle Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655014034263382264noreply@blogger.com0
