The Bear
So a few years back my father in law went to Russia and got a ten year old Inland Siberian Grizzly. This thing is eleven and a half feet tall when standing on its hind legs. It took the taxidermist a couple of weeks just to do the treatment on the hide. Now that it is finally finished we had to move it down into his lovely room of death or as my daughter calls it "The Zoo." I will take some pictures of the other things he has down there for another blog.

Mess'in Around in the West Desert
The other day I decided that I needed to unwind a little after a hard day of work. I loaded up the family and a couple of guns and headed for the desert. We found a nice quiet place and started shooting. The girls got in the back of the truck and decided to entertain themselves with whatever was available. Myla decided that she was a dancing star and the truck bed was her stage. She danced and danced and acted as if the gun blasts were the base in the music she was dancing to.

The Glory Days
Since I just got into blogging I decided that I would post a couple of pictures of the glory days. From the summer of 99 to the fall of 01 I was a wild land fire fighter. I had a lot of fun and got into some dangerous situations. The picture below is a NASA photo of the Clear Creek fire. This fire was well over 100,000 acres of heavy timber. As you can see the smoke column was visible from space!This is a photo of our approach to the fire. The smoke column was nearly blackening the sky!

This is Myla. She is a wild child and has already had a broken arm. She loves Tinker Bell, Cars, Dancing, and running around outside. Myla is also a very energetic singer and I place her skill level just above Mylee Cyrus.
This is Ava. She is trouble in a small, very cute package. Don't let her fool you! She can single handedly destroy our house in less than five minutes.
Here is my beautiful wife Cami. She has the strenuous duty of putting up with me for the last eight years. As you can see she is where the kids get all their good looks from.
This is the cat possessed by the devil. I am placing an image of her here for your safety. If you see her walk backwards, don't run! She is attracked by sudden movements.
Here I am in my natural environment. This was taken in my childhood backyard of Fish Lake. It doesn't take much for me to decide to go fishing for the day.
Sometimes I can even get Cami to touch a fish. She likes fishing but still struggles with touching them after she has landed them.
The pictures from this point on are of trips we have taken over the last year or so. There will be more to come this year from other trips we have planned!
