Moab trip and new family members!!











Well we went to Moab with some good friends of ours and had a blast. The girls hung out at the condo while us boys did some wheeling. It was brinley's first time to Moab, the place where I asked Amber to marry me, and where we got married. It was awesome to share it with Brinley! We did a lot of swimming, which by the way is Brinley's favorite thing to do, she is completely fearless when it comes to water. I also got two new family members to join are little GANG, since we live on the west side! The first one I got was a small Cockatiel named DUKE after one of my favorite characters from Edward Abbey's novel "THE MONKEY WRENCH GANG". He has only taken to Brinley and Amber, he hates me. He wants to be in any room that Brinley is in, he jumps in the bath with her and yells whenever he is away from her. The other is a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, her name is Savannah and she is 2 years old, she should live anywhere between 40 and 70 years, so she should be with us for a while to come. I consider her my bird but sometimes I wonder. Anyways here are some pics, Amber will be posting soon, she is too busy working so I can sit on my butt at home and play with Brinley and the birds, she does a much better job with these post than I do! I would also like to let everyone know, because Amber is too humble to say it. She just got a promotion, because she works so incredibly hard. She holds a very nice position with the the U of U now, congrats baby, you so deserve it and everybody knows it. Thanks for working so hard. Love you!!!!

I can not believe you. I thought for sure you would not want any more mess makers in your house to clean up after. I also can't believe how big the cage is! I can't wait to see the birds with Brinley, It sounds like great entertainment. I love the cheese picture at the pool, soo cute. Thanks for posting. see you this weekend.
