This is a little restaurant we found in Florence Orgeon

They served alcohol so we was only allowed as far as the door, we ate dinner in the little waiting room, it was really weird but worth it, the fresh sea food was delicious. We happen to be their during Florence's celebration, it was motorcycle haven.

Here's a picture of the little critters Mike and Jed found.

Here is the little seal Mike and Jed found on the beach. It came up to them and was sniffing their shoe.

Have you ever traveled through FOUR states? Turned around and drove back through? We did!!!

Last year we bought a new boat. We thought the motorhome and Tahoe would be strong enough to pull it. We manage, but eventually we will ruin both engines. We started looking for Motorhomes with a Diesel Engine. They are expensive and hard to find. We found one in California. It was a good deal so we had to act fast. So we left right after Mike got off duty at 3:00 in the morning. We arrived in las Vegas at 8:00 am our time, 7:00 California time. We called the guy with the motorhome he said we only had FOUR more hours. TWO hour later, and TWO hours from his house he called us, we thought he was just wondering where we were. He informed us that he just sold the motorhome. What a dirty dog!!! He knew we were from Utah. How does this man sleep at night. So we turned around and headed back. We drove 1000 miles!!! Here is a picture of the kids and me in California. I didn't feel very happy, it's pretty obvious.

UPDATE- Grandpa and Chanse

They found fluid in my dad's lungs. They said it is the kind of fluid that would turn into ammonia. He is on a antibiotic. Hopefully that is why he has been short of breathe. They just recently took another test to make sure he does not have another blockage. Will have not received the results.

Chanse is responding well to his meds. He forgot to take it one day and his fingers swelled up.

Finally....water.

It's been a long winter to say the least. We spent the weekend in 90^ weather, while Utah County stormed. It felt wonderful!!! It felt nice un-winterizing the boat. Mead was nice but it's certainly not Powell. We watched a herd of ass's. I think they were wild. Mike got a new wake board from Santa, he finally got to use it. He loved it, my wake sucked! I'm out of practice. The kids spent alot of time collecting tumble weeds and starting little fires. They love doing that. We found crystal rock everywere in the sand. It was wierd you could burn the crystal in the camp fire and it would turn into snow white power.

Chanse has Post-Streptococcal

This is not official, but they seem sure. Chanse has an auto-immune so this has made things difficult to figure out. Post- Streptococcal is a bacteria caused from Strep. A couple weeks ago Chanse had a nasty cold with a sore throat. Post- Streptococcal is caused from strep, untreated.

Post-Streptococcal is a form of glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis untreated will destroy the kidneys within two months of illness.
The infection causes the tiny blood vessels called glomruli in the kidneys to become inflamed, making the kidneys less able to filter and remove wastes.

Post-Streptococcal is uncommon these days. Somehow Chanse's Auto- Immune has triggered on Arthritis induced by illness. I guess that's why the tests have been so confusing to the Doctors. He has both. This will be treated with Antibiotics. However, it's not a quick fix. It may take months, some times up to a year to get rid of the bacteria. Chanse will be released from the hospital later on today after the doctor gives him a shot of penicillin in the behind.
