who makes a better queen

So it looks like there are two snow white movies coming out and the trailers make each one look pretty interesting.

So Charlize Theron vs Julia Roberts...





they both look good, but I think the Mirror Mirror one looks better.

Explosion!

Bree found out what happens when you heat up plastic then rapidly cool it. Unfortunately the truth smacked her in the face.

This is the aftermath

Chloe multitasking

She can already eat and talk on the phone at the same time.

Testing out

Blogger on my iPod. This seems to work well.

flight time!

Bree does the best birthday presents.

For my 30th she outdid herself, a flight in a Cessna C-172. So Denton and I drove out to Springbank and met our pilot Chris.

Chris did all the technical stuff like make sure everything worked and talking to the tower for permission to go onto the runway and take off. He showed me stuff that he was doing but mostly I was just glad he knew what he was doing.

So once we were out of the airport vicinity out around Brag Creek he let me take control. It is very cool to be able to go up and down left or right when ever you want. Where we went we didnt need roads.

Denton had head phones that did not work and he narrated the video for Bree. Since she was getting ready for the 4th of July party and is kinda scared even in big airplanes she got Denton to promise at least 10 good pictures and good video. He took his duties very seriously as you can tell in the picture, one of the 1o:

I can see why the government wants you to have a lot of hours practice before they just let you out there. I got a little lost after a few turns so when it came time to go back to the airport Chris had to show the way.

But we made it back and if only we had a couple hundred thousand dollars we could fly all the time. It would sure make trips to Utah faster and easier to do!

New for my christmas list: cessna C-172

grandma's bad ideas

You leave Chloe with her for one minute...

and she sparkles

but she's still tough and plays in the mud and needs a bath before she goes to bed.

Saturday Morning

Saturday morning cartoons at the Johnson's

I think it's funny that Harrison was smiling for the camera too but couldn't wait for the camera to take the picture, blues clues is just that awesome.

Calgary in the summer

A nice thing about living in Calgary, in the summer at 6am the sun is already rising along with us who have to be at work way too early.

hdmi FYI

Don't spend too much on your HDMI cable, monster is a thief!
