Practice Pushing!

 
I ask Britt after a few contractions, how it was going to look when she started pushing. She said, "Something like this!" For the most part she was able to keep a pretty good sense of humor for the whole delivery. Thank you, Epideral!

Blind Contour

 
Just wanted to show off some of the artwork of Britt's Students. This is a blind contour, the students cannot look down at the paper or pick up the pen. They had to remain focused on the person in front of them... and that is pen! What a good little art teacher and soon to be mom we have!

Tom the Turkey

 
Well I didn't harvest a turkey this year, but the few times we went out they were fun. All I have to say about not getting a turkey is; 'Thanks, Sis Larson.'

Backseat Turkey

 
Britt, Cairo, and Myself were out scoping for turkeys, didn't take us long to realize that there was one in the backseat!

I could be Your Agent

 
Well for those that did not get my mass e-mail I am a producer for American Family Inusrance. I have not told anyone until this week because of the potential conflict with Enterprise, but now that I am no longer employed there I would love to write up your insurance policies. I can do anything except life & health. So if you need a quote on your home, autos, or business give me a call.

The Moment You've All Been Waiting For...

 
Okay Britt finally seceded and decided to throw some prego pics up on the blog. I think she's super gorgeous!

Which one is real?

 
Okay, I guess they are all real bellies, but which one is the true baby bump?

Out on the Lake

 
Michael, Preston, and Me (taking the pic) in the canoe, out on my aunt & uncle's lake.

Cougar Kill

 
Okay, I don't know for sure but there was still flesh on the skull and it was just outside a cave! It was just up a little slot canyon where I saw some cougar tracks in the winter.

Turkey Tracks

 
While everbody else is looking for turkeys down in the canyon... I found them!!! They are still up on the mountain playing in the snow! Can't wait for my turn... I think that I am going to try and harvest one with my bow. Okay, not the bow that I have now because I don't have one, but I will soon!

No Sheds

 
I have seen plenty of Elk, but no sheds. I saw two tonight and four in almost the same spot last night. I was tried to hold the dog still while I was focusing in, in the mean time the Elk decided to move.

Our Famous Little Teacher

Well Britt was suprised last week at school and ended up making it into the local paper. She was nominated to be USU's 'Student Teacher of the Year.' If she wins she will be the 2nd Art Major to ever win!

B.S. now on facebook!

Britt and I did not add our personal info to facebook, but I added Basin Shuttle. So if you are on facebook and wanna help out that would be great. If you are not on facebook do not worry about it!

The First Few Stickers

 
Here is what the start of our graphics look like. Remember, for those willing, please link to my website. www. basin shuttle.com

Hard at Work

 
Apparently we have a lot of spare time in Vernal. A few weeks back we went and had these hard hats made. They get quite the reaction from people when they are getting off the plane. Brian almost never takes his off. For those familiar with oil field terminology his hat on the back says, 'Company Man' and mine says, 'Worm.' Those are terms for the highest and lowest man on the totem pole, respectively.

Little Miracle

We have not been announcing a lot of news on our own site about little Gavin, but he is getting better. We are so excited to have him in our family. For more news on Gavin, check out liz's family blog. http://martinezfam4u.blogspot.com/

Fierce Competition

Well friends and family, there is a fierce competition going on and I am not going to lay down easy! You see at the same time I decided to start Basin Shuttle, two other companies have decided to make a go at taking people to Salt Lake. While I am not afraid of what will happen, I want to hedge my odds as much as possible. Here is where you can help! Before Vernal Shuttle (the comeptition) changed their website, when you did a google search for Vernal or Basin Shuttle, either way my site came up first. Now when you type in Vernal Shuttle, I come up second or not at all. One way to fix this is to get people to link to you. So any of you that have extra space on some side bar on your blog or site, a link would be appreciated. www.basinshuttle.com

Silencing Christians

Britt and I watched this program after listening to it being presented on the American Conservative University Podcast. The program is an hour long, but we would encourage you find time within the next week to watch it.

The Hunt Continues...

Well we have submitted our construction loan packet and are waiting to hear back. We have begun looking at lots and we have picked out this little house plan from a site online.

Basin Shuttle Website Under Construction

Well the shuttle biz is well underway. We have shopped out some vans, worked on our articles of incorporation, started marketing, and made some really good contacts. Still looking for a few good employees. We should be starting here in just over a week. Check us out at BasinShuttle.Com
