Did you say SNAKE?

So, I now have one more reason to stay in California. My sister called today and told me there was a 6 foot blow snake in her living room. Yes, her living room. She lives in a small Utah town with about 200 other people. Her two year old son thought it was awesome. Liz did not. Her husband was at work and so she had to call a neighbor to come over and get the snake. She doesn't know how it got in or how long it was in the house. My kids asked why she didn't call animal control and I told them Lemington doesn't have animal control. Liz said she has her own form of animal control. A shovel!

The Bump

Alyssa has had this small bump on her upper arm for about 6 months. We went to the doctor 3 or 4 months ago to have it looked at. He said not to worry about it unless it got bigger. Over time it has grown. We were sent to a surgeon last week and we got a surgery date today. Alyssa will have it removed on July 20th. It's an in the clinic surgery and will require a few stitches. Alyssa seems okay with the idea of having it removed. I think it's starting to bother her a bit. But come surgery day, things might be a little different.

LA and back in a day

Ken had to go to LA yesterday for work. He asked me Wednesday night if I would like to fly down with him for the day. So I decided why not. What else have I got to do? We flew down and went to the new office being built in Brentwood to check out a few things and then over to the Beverley Hills office to check on a few things that are in the works there. I got lunch out of the deal and a nice "date" and some great laughs with Ken.

4th of July

In Concord we start celebrating the 4th of July a few days ahead of schedule. On Thursday night, we walked over the park next to the high school and watched a great 4th of July celebration skit, concert and fireworks. They repeated it last night and again tonight. Tonight we're just walking down to Mtn. View to watch the fireworks. We went to Martinez this morning for their parade and celebration stuff after words. We had a lot of fun. This afternoon we went to our friends swimming. Over all our day has been relaxing and very nice. Happy 4th of July. God Bless America!

Will life come to an end?

Kevin Jonas of The Jonas Brother's got engaged. Kayla and Alyssa are very concern the band might brake up and the new Jonas show on Disney may come to an end. I've assured them that people get married all the time and don't quit the band or the tv show they are on.

Opening Show

The tour started yesterday. U2 is back on the road. You can read about the tour, see the set lists and get you U2 fix at u2.com. However, they better pick it up, from the reviews I've read they were not at their best.
