Jenny and the eleven chihuahuas

I finally started tutoring twice a week. I work with a girl who lives with her grandparents and takes online classes. They are really caring and personable people. Her grandma does foster care for chihuahuas. I know exactly what you're thinking and the answer is yes. Yesterday I had eleven yappy, toe lickin, clawing, nibbling, jumping, brown-eyed, hyper, hairless chihuahuas tearing at my legs and my lap during tutoring with the addition of two bawking parrots in cages 22 inches from my face. Those who know me best know how I feel about dogs, especially petite, high pitched barking ones.

"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." Galileo Galilei

There comes a time in every boy's life when they themselves discover the duuuht duuhht door stopper thingie. Oh how we can learn from the looks on their faces.

A guy in our ward knows how to crochet beanies. So that he'll continue to remain anonymous- Thanks again [codename] B-daddy.

Royal this and Royal that

Chase Roy Young as well as his brother's initials spell words. So in keeping with tradition, Royal's initials purposely spell REY (king in Spanish). Our Rey Rey is definitely el rey. His milestones become our accomplishments. Sheesh, what else is there to write about?

He will sometimes wait for the spoon to hit his lips and then fiercely blow out. This seems to the most common outcome.


Now that's it's cooling off a tad, we went camping at Workman Creek Falls. I realized the morning temperatures at maybe 48-50 degrees were the coldest Royal's ever been in his life. And that's truth, not hyperbole.

We also went to the Phoenix Zoo. He was rather intrigued by the monkeys.

Rolls Royce

Royal learned to roll over and then for a week it seemed like he had forgotten how. So every time I thought we'd get a roll over I was videotaping. I had nothing but grunts and cries and figured that was movie making material.

Braggin on my man

What would a blog be without airing some prime time commercials about my man?

Chase started his woodworking business over a year ago, but was able to get it rolling this summer.  As you look around your house do you question- Can this be made out of wood?- or -Why isn't that blasted entertainment center just four inches wider?- or -Why doesn't Costco sell a walnut desk with slots on the left side ten inches long to file my SRP bills? Chase can help you create furniture of your dreams.  The best part is when friends ask you can reply with lines like- It's custom.  There's no other like it- or-I designed it myself.- For ideas check out Chase's website www.youngheritagewoodworks.com.
