Da Juice Man - Pass That Juice

My son Anthony is on a mission....not a church mission....but a mission to get a million views for the new song and video that he made. If you think the video is funny you should forward the link on to all of your family and friends and help him to get a MILLION views.

Check it out, the music video is called "Pass That Juice"

The video also features Marcos, Alex....and my iPod....be sure to watch for it on the kitchen counter. All of Anthony's "tattoos" in the video were provided by ME....so if anyone is interested I would be happy to practice on YOU!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...everywhere you go! ...... Even Las Vegas!!!

Today at 2:30 pm (local Salt Lake time) I received two picture messages on my cell phone from my sister that lives in Las Vegas.




























The first photo is a photo of her car....located in LAS VEGAS....with some type of "cold, white, wet substance" ALL OVER the car...a car that (I'm not sure if I mentioned this?) is located in LAS VEGAS!!!





The second photo is a photo of her yard....located in LAS VEGAS...with some type of "cold, white, wet substance" ALL OVER her grass....grass that (I'm pretty sure that I mentioned this!) is located in LAS VEGAS!!!


So I took a photo from the window in the building that I work in (since I wasn't crazy enough to go outside to take it) and I sent it to her to show her what it looks like in Salt Lake City.






















I sent it to her thinking that it would evoke some type of empathetic reaction....one sister to another....all for one....and one for all....let's scream it TOGETHER!! WE HATE THE SNOW!!!

But the response that I got from her was: 'I wish it would snow like that here!'

What? Huh? Ex-squeeze me? Seriously?!

Then I thought it over....there are only 8 days left before Christmas....she lives in Las Vegas where there are OVER 300 days of SUN EVERY YEAR and it rarely ever snows....and the more that I thought about it....the more confident that I begin to feel....one sister to another....all for one....and one for all....let's scream it TOGETHER!! BABY JESUS LOVES LAS VEGAS!!



A few fun Vegas snow facts:

--The three snowiest months occurred in the Las Vegas Valley in the 20th Century, according to weather service records. The most snowfall was recorded in January 1949 with 16.7 inches, followed by January 1974 with 13.4 inches and January 1979 with 9.9 inches.
--December 1967 is the only month of December that counts as snowy with 2 inches of the white stuff recorded on the ground. And that occurred on Dec. 15.
--The earliest snow ever recorded arrived as a trace or measurable on Nov. 15, 1964 when three inches fell followed by another inch on Nov. 16, 1964.
--The latest snow ever recorded for the winter season in the valley was a trace on April 4, 1958.
--The last snowfall was recorded as a trace on Dec. 22, 2006, when a mixture of rain and snow fell in the valley. However, the Summerlin area got a few flakes of snow on Oct. 11 this year.
--Measurable snow officially fell in Las Vegas on Dec. 30, 2003, with 1.3 inches on the ground.
--Weather Service records show that snowfall that sticks on the ground and piles up occurs about once every 20 years.
--Snow statistics through Jan. 31, 1996 were recorded at McCarran International Airport. Then the weather service moved its offices two miles southwest to Dean Martin Road and records have been measured there since Feb. 1, 1996.

Sleeping Chicken!!

Recently while we were vacationing in Mexico Anthony made friends with a cute little chicken. Unfortunately Anthony is VERY boring and the chicken fell asleep while Anthony was talking to him. Here's the video to prove it:

Give Anthony Photoshop and a few hours of free time and this is what you get.....

Anthony made a mixtape cover for the new TWO OF A KIND-Back 2 Business CD. If you haven't had a chance to check out his video in my previous post make sure that you do! I'm SO impressed with his video editing and Photoshop skills, but I think what I'm most impressed with is how creative his thoughts are AND the fact that he can take what he's thinking and put everything together in a video or in an image.

































So last night I'm sleeping (which is what I try to do at night) and at 1:15 am (that's AM!) my phone starts beeping (LOUDLY!) and I get a picture message on my phone from Anthony with a text that says he wants me to check out a "throw away" final draft of a mixtape cover that he made for his friend Zach.































I figured if he was willing to lose sleep time by staying up making a "throw away" for his friend that he should be more than willing to make something for his dear ol' mother--his DEAR OL' MOTHER that couldn't go back to sleep for MORE than an HOUR after being roused out of a deep sleep with the message that HE sent me.

So I asked him to make something for me. He said that he would!

This is what I got a few hours later:
































I love Pesky's mohawk, I think that Gordy looks just like Eminem (he definitely is the white "rapper" in the group), Nena looks super tough (check out the bling earrings that Nena and Moonie have!) If any of my dogs were to get a tattoo I'm sure that Anthony hit it right on the head that it would be Moonie--she's sporting a tattoo that says "Dena".

I don't condone any type of drug usage in my household so I'd like everyone to know that the "cigarettes" are just part of their "bad dog image".

Also, I would never encourage my dogs to swear, but I have to say that I backed them 110% in their decision to write about their trials and tribulations with Animal Control....and what do you know? It has become their HIT SINGLE!!!

Thanks for making me LAUGH OUT LOUD Anthony....this made my week!
