Another addition to the family!

Meet Chloe! She's a chocolate lab/pointer mix, who I picked up for free from some family, who could not really care for her. She has far too much energy and is constantly leaking, but she's an amazing pup to have around. She is 6 months old and is one of the most happy go lucky dogs that I have ever met! Cocoa and Chloe have become great friends since her arrival, even though Cocoa spent the first few weeks bullying Chloe around and teaching her the rules of the house. Now they still fight, but spend a lot of their time cuddling, pretty cute.

Cocoa

We've added to the family....A small, soon to be huge pup! Meet Cocoa, a 100% purebred rot. She's one of the most relaxed, smartest, and laziest pups I have ever met. She often won't eat anything unless it is placed directly in front of her and when she is taken outside and does not want to come back in she'll often lay down and roll over to avoid being picked up.

Work

So within the last few months I was hired by this company called Utah Sports Action to shoot that is quite similar to maxpreps.com. Its a brand new company, but they pay well and the job is easy enough. Thats pretty much all I have to say about work...I mean its work...not too exciting...

Work outside of work

Here are images that I particularly liked that aren't action shots.

Shyon had a really bad day...He suffered from a second degree burn on his leg and dislocated his shoulder...again...

A horribly planned out excursion

One saturday morning, I was hanging out in our breakfast nook when Mark came out of his room wanting to go on some sort of adventure, since we did not go on an adventure the previous night. After discussing what we should do and where we should go we finally settled on Payson Lakes and fishing. Somehow we managed to convince Sam to join us on our adventure, so we loaded up in my car and took off. We stopped by Mark's parent's house on the way in order to pick up tents, sleeping bags, and rafts. Little did we know that we would forget sleeping bags for Mark and Sam. Anyway we continued on our journey to walmart to purchase food and a frying pan. After a whole mess of tangents we finally made it to the campsite and began setting things up and cooking food. After a few fantastic steaks and a campfire we hit they hay, or Mark and Sam tried to...This is when we discovered that we had forgotten a few sleeping bags and low and behold the temperature dropped and it began to rain and seep into the tent. With the sleepless night finally over we were excited to cook breakfast and get fishing, however, mother nature/karma didn't want us to succeed whatsoever. As we cooked breakfast the burner decided to melt the frying pan and ruin all of our food. And to top it off we weren't able to catch a single fish.

One crazy night...

A
About two months ago now, Alex, Sam, and I were hanging out one night when Sam received a text from his cousin/roommate, stating that his front door of his apartment was open and that he should go check up on it. After awhile we decided to go check things out, just to be safe. As we got there Sam hopped out of the car and ran in, as Alex and I were waiting in the car we could see sam through his living room window pacing. Jokingly Alex and I commented about how it would be funny if someone jumped out of a closet and went the way of Christian Bale in American Psycho on him. Simultaneously, Sam came sprinting out of his house and to the car. As he reached the car he began speaking to us in a whisper stating that his house was on fire. Later we discovered that he was whispering to us, because he did not want to wake the neighbors. In udder confusion we ran into his house to discover that the place was filled with smoke and Sam's room was ablaze. We attempted to battle it with coffee mugs and bowls for a matter of 30 seconds before we decided that it was too much for a few bowls and mugs to handle. At that point Alex had already called 911 and the crazy night began. In a fit of stunned hilarity and disbelief, Alex and I left and decided that it would be best if we returned on our bikes. When we returned we still had not heard from Sam and the police/fire department had arrived, so getting near the vicinity of the house was out of the question. We finally found Sam talking to his neighbors, but he was shortly taken away to discuss with the police. Long story short, Alex and I spent 5-6 hours at the neighbors house while Sam was handcuffed on the ground (while being told the entire time that his story "was full of shit" by the fire marshall), because they believed he had started the fire, even though he had been with us for the entire day. The next day Mark, Alex, Sam, and I went to the remains that was his house to clean it up. Its been almost two months now and Sam still hasn't heard anything about his house...
