The best slushie ever

Aaron and I made up a recipe for the best slushie ever.

Mash up 10 red popsicles. (That's the best part!)
Put them in a blender with 6 ice cubes, 2 cups of red Gatorade, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1/8 of the pulpy part of a lemon.

Blend it into a slushy mess.
Drink with a straw while thinking about how awesome you are for trying it.

Super Genius




I solved Rubik's cube for the first time today. I expect a call from Mensa any minute now...

The Phantom Fence



A fence started growing out of our yard a few weeks ago. First some holes showed up and then a bunch of poles appeared around the yard. Two weeks later we still have giant empty holes and some poles, along with a sizable stack of wood planks on the grass.


This isn't exactly out of the ordinary.

Last winter in Fayetteville some guys came to fix a water pipe under our front yard. They dug up the yard, broke a pipe, and never returned. A few weeks later some different people came and tore up our very steep driveway, leaving behind a muddy incline. Needless to say, the mud froze. They left it that way for about a month while we parked a few blocks down the hill in front of a stranger's house. We still miss our snowy walks up and down the hill.


Shortly after moving back to Conway last summer we also had a phantom lawn dude. We'll always remember him!




Guinea Pigs

I thought the pigs could use some air time.

Here's a video of Chucky doing a trick. (He stands up for food.)


This is Elvis. He's uglier, older, and fatter.

Aren't we all?


Here's Chucky again. He poses for the camera when he's not trying to eat it.
