Memorial Weekend @ The Shabin - One Big Phat Happy Family

 

We went on a nice Sunday drive into Capitol Reef. The weather was nice, so it was nice. We went pretty deep into the hills on some dirt road and got a little mud on the tires, so that was fun. Some of the hiking trails were closed due to flash flood warnings. We like to live on the edge, you know. So, that was our weekend. For more details, check out the pics below.

Memorial Weekend 2009 @ the Shabin Part 1

 

 

 

 

Greetings everyone! Here are a bunch of pics from our trip to the Shabin this past Memorial weekend. It was quite rainy, but fortunately, it wasn't windy like it usually is. We resurrected the old monster playground that was custom designed by Pop and built out of top grade restaurant stainless steel! Once we finally got it all done, we had to go home. However, it will be there for generations to come and to play on. Heck, I even played on it for at least a minute or two. What do you think? Do you likey?

Easter 2009

Easter weekend we needed to get away. So we decided to go to Wayne County. It wasn't exactly paradise when it was 30 degrees outside. The Easter Bunny found the kids and left eggs all over. The Easter Bunny prepared each kids easter basket in the back of the truck the night before. Danny went to check on them the next morning and noticed a cute little easter bunny bite out of each piece of chocolate that wasn't inside a plastic egg! Danny commented to Karla how cute it was that the easter bunny took a bite out of each one. I swore up and down that it wasn't me and he didn't believe me. After further review of what looked like tiny pieces of chocolate spread all over,we realized it was mice! That's the last time we will ask the easter bunny for help. All in all we had a great time.

 

 

 

Here's a few more pics!

We're Back!

 
 
 
 

Greetings! I think that if you read through our blog entries, you will find a common theme to each post- we never update our blog! Plus, it seems like I apologize for each time that I haven't updated the blog in like...forever. So anywho, here are some pics that reflect what we've been up to over the past number of months. I'm sure that we'll update this again very soon, at least in the next six months or so. We'll see. Until then, I hope you enjoy these pics as much as we enjoyed being in them!

Happy Halloween!!! (belated)

Its about time we wished the blogging world happy halloween! It was SO much fun! We actually wanted to wait until the cavities had a chance to set in the kids teeth. They're just about there! McKay and Karli got loaded up on tons of candy. Usually it takes us like 2 hours to do our neighborhood of about 150 homes. Fortunately this year, we met up with a family that had twins that McKay is friends with and they RAN from house to house. We blew through the hood in no time! Thats my kind of trick-or-treating. Enjoy!

Um, yah...I REALLY need a truck!

Go ahead and say it, this looks trashy! But without a truck, you really gotta improvise, you know? So, we had 5 cottonless cottonwood trees in our little back yard. We decided to remove one cuz they were growing SO fast. Plus, we didn't want the yard to get too crowded. So dug up the one that wasn't quite like the others, in a row. I couldn't just kill it, I would have felt really bad doing something like that.

So I called my brother Micah and he said that he liked to hug trees, and that they would love to have it (actually, they don't really hug trees, but they did want it). So, being McGuyver Jr. that I am, I decided that I didn't want to call around to find a truck, or wait to find someone with better tree transporter capabilities. So, I improvised. I've heard that Subaru's are great for doing things that have to do with trees. I'm not sure that transporting them is one of those things, but it worked I guess.

Anyway, I dug up the tree, dragged it to the front yard, pulled the car around, looked the other way when any neighbors drove by, and cruised over to American Fork to plant the tree at my brothers house. May it grow and prosper.

I haven't forgotten about you!

Hello. I know, I know, it has been a while since I last posted. So, here is another post. Isn't it great??? As you can tell, I really thought about this one and put a lot of effort into it. Until next time...here's to you bloggers! Cheers!

TASC is for Sale!!!

PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, PLEASE!!!




TASC is for sale, THE WHOLE BUSINESS! MAKE ME AN OFFER. This is a great opportunity to jump in the driver seat and grow with your own business. Professionally designed logo, business card and brochure are ready to have you print them with your name and contact info. WHAT YOU GET: Price includes the designs and equipment- B&G 1.5 gallon hand sprayer with 24" wand, 30 gallon tank with 100' hose powered by a 5.5 hp motor, hammer drill for termite jobs, all chemical on hand, both for routine pest control treatments and termite jobs, and other baits. It also includes my whole customer list in an excel spreadsheet. I'll even include the trailer, so all you need is a car or truck with a tow hitch (I've got connections if you don't) and you are ready to roll.

FINANCING: Getting started is easy! Just go to your bank (I can recommend a good one) and tell them you want an SBA Loan. They can get you the $$$ you need to completely buy me out and run your business your way. Thats how I did it, so I can attest that it truly does work. Basically your monthly payment will be somewhere around $135 per month depending on the rate and terms. Do ONLY 3 pest control treatments each month and your loan payment is covered. Its that simple.

There are almost 100 pest control customers homes & businesses that I've serviced throughout the years. Its enough to get you started and make your money back from your initial investment within the first year. How many business can do that? Basically, if you service half of the customers, and see them twice before the end of the year, you have made your money back. Its that simple. To help with the transition, I've already mailed out a professionally written letter that tells the customers what to expect for the season and that additional team members may be coming when they call. The brochure was mailed with the letter as well to remind the customers of TASC.

I pride myself on good old-fashioned customer service and the customers love it. I tell them "If I'm not doing a good job, you're not going to have me come back, so its in my best interest to get you taken care of as best I can." All my customers love that.

I am open to offers, MAKE ME AN OFFER. We are asking only $5000, obo or possible trade. Remember, this is a business that you could break even with in only a matter of months! Call, text or email today. I look forward to hearing from you. In fact, I can't hardly wait!

Thanks!

Happy 60th Birthday Pop!

In an effort to repent for missing out on my Pop's 60th birthday party last night, I'm going to put him on the world wide web for ALL to see. Karla, the Kids, and I were at the Shabin this weekend, thus missing the surprise 60th birthday party for Pop last night. So I hope that this has a little more weight than one of those e-birthday cards (mainly because only the recipient is the one who sees those). So, in honor of Pop turning 60, I will put in a short poem about Pop below that I'll make up, starting now (btw, this is way better than hallmark):

Happy 60th Birthday Pop
Your days of looking hot are not (over)

You've now lived 60% of 100 years
Here's to many more party's
With non-alcoholic beers!

You are an example of genuine help and hard work
To your country, your family, and even The Church

Thanks for being a friend, husband, brother, and our Pop
The world is a better place because you've never stopped!

We love you Pop! Happy 60th Birthday!

Love,

Danny

P.S. McKay and I were thinking about around Pop the camp fire last night at the same time the surprise party was happening. This picture proves it! Oh, and the "Custom" fire pit was cemented in by my brother-in-law Kelly and I yesterday afternoon. Not bad if I do say so my self. Then we made S'mores with all of the kids and much fun was had by all!

Why, hello there!

Hello everyone! I'm back, and better than ever! Except for, I'm not sure how I could be better than ever when I'll be pushing 30 in over a year from now. I'm sure all of those half-tubs of ice cream at 9:55 pm every other night will be catching up to me soon. Just tell Karla, I think she can tell. So, I'm trying to get back on the band wagon here since I haven't blogged in SUCH a long time. What's it been? Going on like 7 months now? Crazy how time flies! I used-a-could google my name- Danny Jessop and I would come up on the first or second page from my company website www.adaidm.com team member profile. Then my blog would typically show up a few links down after that at the bottom of the page or at least the next page. Since I've been all over the place (literally), I seem to have fallen off of the beaten path. So here I am once again, trying to get back on. Please, can't you just accept me for who I am?

Oh yah, back to the google thing. Well, with recent events of the FLDS YFZ ranch happenings, if you do google Danny Jessop, typically a bunch of polygamy links come up. So, just to set the record straight, those aren't me, and I'm not them. Make sense? Although, it does hit a little close to home because of my family background. Perhaps I'll try and motivate me to post some detailed info about my ramblings...we'll see. Anywho, I'm back, and gosh, its feels great to be here!

Howz it goin'?

The more blogs I read, the more everyone apologizes for their negligence in not keeping their blogs updated regularly. UM...to whom are we all apologizing to? The Internet Blogging Police? Give me a bread! Oops, I mean BREAK! Did you get that? Bread was put in there for Break since I work at the Bakery.? Anywho, howz it goin'? Pretty good, and you? Not bad. Gosh its been some time since I've been here. Its fun to look at others blogs and see what they do and don't do as they update them. For me, well, late at night (like right now) when I think about getting online and updating my blog or surfing the web, I am just too tired to do anything.
Karla went to an ALL-NIGHT scrap booking crop with her sister-in-law Maria last night. So Keith (Karla's Brother) and I held down the fort for 24 hours until the real runners of the household returned. I think that there is a reason that I go to work all day and Karla stays at home with the kids. She is fantastic at what she does, and I'm good at working out of the home. All in all, somehow the kids survived in mine and Keiths care.
Last week, we took a much needed and long planned vaca to So Cal- to visit my sister Linda and her husband Dave in Simi Valley, Ca, and to have some FUN! We left on Saturday 9/22/07 and stayed the night at Karla's moms house in St. George, Utah. We also stopped and chilled with Robyn and Brian for a little bit that night too. Then on Sunday we road tripped to Simi. That was a bit of a long ride. Never stop in Bakersfield to get gas! Just drive the extra 20 miles to Victorville. Its like almost $0.50 less per gallon. Price Gougers! Monday we went to an aquarium which was really cool. We got to pet aneminities, sting rays and sharks! Slimy. The next day we went to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Ca. That was a really cool and somber experience. You could easily spend all day there learning about what a tremendous person, leader and president individual he was. He really did a lot for not only the American people, but also the world. It was cool to see the old Air Force 1 and Marine 1.
Then from Wednesday thru Friday, we spent at DISNEYLAND!
It was really a lot of fun! McKay and Karli just took it all in and loved it! Kamree was absolutely THE best baby ever! She hardly made a peep the entire week. Its amazing a baby could be so good. So, if they all are that good, we'll have like 7 or 8 more. Karla's really excited about that. We went to Disneyland in the middle of the week. Its off season right now, so we literally walked onto each ride on Wednesday and Thursday. Each sign said like wait time 5 minutes, but I think that must be a default. Just as fast as you could walk up to the actual ride, you got on, sat down, and had a terrific time! On every ride except for Indiana Jones, you have to be 40" tall to ride. Well McKay is 40 and 1/2" tall, so he got to go on everything and loved every second of it! It was so fun just to watch him and Karli absorb the magic, the wonder, the amazement and awe as they saw their tv characters come to life in the happiest place on earth!
Yes, we did get to ride on the Finding Nemo submarine ride. It wasn't really anything to write home about. We I guess it actually was since I am writing about it right now. But, I wasn't too impressed because ALL of the voice-overs were not the voice-overs from the original movie. So I was disturbed by that the whole time. Actually disappointed. It was probably only about the all mighty dollar is why, I mean the voice-overs on the ride were all from India!
Karli just dreamed about seeing Cinderella and having here pick her up and give her a big hug. Well, on Friday, we got a special pass to have pics taken with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Karli loved that, and McKay just roared at them like a fire breathing dragon. It was a good thing we left in the middle of the day on Friday because the lines were more typical with HUGE waits and we had all just about had it. Tired, out of routine and worn out. It was so much fun, but time to go home. We started back and spent the night in St. George at Karla's moms again. On Saturday we ate lunch at SF Sourdough with Robyn and Brian in St. George. They're a lot of fun to be around. Then we headed home.
While driving home in flip-flops, shorts and sunburns, much to our surprise, we were met by SNOW in Beaver, Utah! It was just about freezing by the time we got back to Lehi. Being away for a week was really nice. Now we just need a few days to have a vaca from our vaca to unwind and get back in to our regularly scheduled programming. Oh, I also grew a goatee while away and still have it- going on 2 weeks now. I look much older and act much more mature I'm sure. Wouldn't you agree?
Well, that's the latest, on the Family side of things I guess. The bakery is going well. I've been working very hard on a lot of different projects and they will all be finished and executed here very shortly. Watch out for Great things from Granite Bakery coming soon to taste buds near you! TTFN!
