My Brother, the Pest Control Sprayer

Brett has a sweet new job spraying bugs.

This job came with a car, a uniform that is cleaned for you daily, a cell phone, and tons of poison in the back of your truck to use at your disposal!

He loves it!

Yesterday he showed us all his truck, guns and the basic "ins and outs" of his sweet new job.

Way to go Bretters!



This is what he looks like when about to spray a yard.


Holding one of the big guns used to spray trees... right Brett?


In front of his new truck!!



Now Lexi, Logan and Macey all want to be pest control "workers" when they grow up like Uncle Brett!

My Favorite Purchase

I had been reading about the iPhone for months. The ads, the info on Apple.com, the Keynote address at mac world just had me drooling.

I Texted everyone I new the friday that the iPhone came out to see if they were planning on going to the store to check them out.

I went the next day with the fam, played around with the phone...but didn't buy it.

One week passed. A week filled with following user reviews of the phone online to see what people were experiencing. I would check Apple.com to see if my local apple retail store had any iPhones left...most of the days during the week it didn't.

Saturday rolled around - I called Pete and Danny to get their opinions. I called AT&T to see what my monthly rate would be (and was happy to know that it was only $10 more). Then, I called the local Apple Retail store.

"We just got a shipment in 10 min ago. If you are here within the next hour or so you'll be able to get one."

The race was on.

I made it to the store, purchased my new 8gig iPhone. And drove home.

I thought about buckling up the beautiful bag that the iPhone comes in...but I didn't.

I got home to a thunderous crowd...that all gathered around to unveil the iPhone. Here are some of the pictures...
