Father's Day



It has been quite a busy and hectic week. We went in to Mandee's first Doctor's appointment and got to see our little baby on the ultrasound. We were both excited to see the little one on the monitor. Unfortunately, the doctor informed us that there was a problem...the baby had no heart beat. Neither one of us even thought about looking for the heartbeat when we saw the baby. We went from a total happy moment to a total sad moment. The baby grew to be 9 weeks and 4 days old. We figure that it must have died within the last couple of days. We all had a hard few days as Mandee was sick and our plans on having our second child were shattered. Kenton seemed to know that something was wrong and was very quite and blar for a couple of days. We would like to thank all of our friends and family who called, visited, brought use delicious food, and so forth. Thanks!

Mandee took her Jetta to get her oil change at Wal Mart last week right before someone interested in buying it came to the house to look at it. The car started up and then a sudden "thump" came from the motor and the car turned off. It is in the shop right now being torn apart to find out if it was Wal Mart's fault or if it would have happened regardless of having the oil changed. It would be great if it were Wal Mart's fault so they could pick up the bill! We are not sure what all happened yet, but we should find out soon.

On a happier note, our friends Zach and Amber were in town from Las Vegas and stopped by for a visit and some dinner. It was nice to see them since it has been almost two years since I had seen them. Zach rode in the sidecar that is hooked up to the pink stella scooter with Kenton in his lap. I don't think that we could have looked any more gay...but it was fun.

Speaking of scooters, I finally titled and registered my 1974 Vespa Rally 200 scooter. It is a blast to drive around and I get like 75 miles to the gallon!
