Today at 1:30 I am going for a second time to my best freind Anthonys house as a sleep over.I am very exited to get away from my brothers for a little while.

Check out Dan's Westhoff.net page. Note that the latest content from mywesthoff.com is now syndicated and available directly on his westhoff.net page! Does that not freakin' rock!?! Yes, it doth indeed rock greatly!!!

Tonight Zach, Dad and, me are going to a Mariners baseball game witch is our second time.Chase is disipointed that he can't go.One of me and Zachs favorite things is try to get our selves on tv.

We took Hyrum in for his four month doctor visit. Well, he was off the charts for everything. You would think that we would be used to this with Harker but it took him a while to blast off the charts. Hyrum weighed in at a healthy 19 pounds 2 ozs. The grocery bills are going to be huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings from Utah! I can't tell you how nice it has been to spend the weekend in civilization. Don't get me wrong I love the great outdoors (Idaho) but it is nice to visit the big city now and then and the shopping wasn't too bad ether. My summer term is almost over and I will get to spend a week or so with mom and dad before fall semester. Peace out.

HI! It is an honor to be a part of this website with my fellow Westhoffs. I can only say that I am greatful I found out ahead of time that is is bad form to post a prego picture of myself. I was unaware that there is a certain code of conduct that I need to follow as long as I am a member of this modern, high speed family. Although I am very happy to be a part of this page, I hate to report that I will not be coming to the website 100 times a day (like some of you) concidering the fact that I do not have regular access, hence the reason I will not be updating it on a regular basis. Hope you enjoy what you have for now.

In the spirit of my family's gathering in Manti...I endevoured to teach Dunn and Zach how to play Scrabble. I don't think Paul and Sarah have to worry much about defending thier place as Supreme Scrabblers of the Universe as of yet but my boys are starting to catch the vision. It was a fun afternoon and I was amazed how long they were willing to keep at it. Every once in a while I just had to help out and put a long word down. The board gets cramped awfully fast when a four tile word is the maximum...

Tomorrow we are going on our second two-day campout. I have made the menu. We are going to hike to the ocean from our campsite. We are hoping for better weather this time. Last time we didn't have that much luck.

I had to post one more time to get Diane's prego photo off my screen.

P. S. - Diane, don't take this the wrong way. I think you will be a wounderfull mother.

Nothing against Diane or anything, but I am posting this so I don't have to see a pregnant Diane first thing on this web site. I visit this site many times during the day to see if there are any new posts and I have looked at Diane's prego photo about 100 times today. All I can say is, "next post."

This book is very funny. If you read Skinny Bones, this is different. There is a new bully. I likedthis book becuase it is funny. Alex is in a cat food commercial and the play "A Christmas Carol".

This book was about a dog whose name was Poochy. There was another dog whose name was Cloudy and everybody thought they looked the same but they didn't because Cloudy's spots were ink and Poochy's spots were real. Cam figured this out by noticing that some spots were in different places. You will have to read the story to find out why they were trying to switch dogs.

This book was about dinosaur bones that were stolen and a girl named Cam who tried to figure out who did it. In the end she solved the mystery with her friend, Eric. I figured it out myself.

Three Stars

If you have read the book Hatchet and you liked it you whould like this book. There is a dog that has rabies. The starting of the adventure is when the van falls off the bridge. This book was pretty easy. I really liked it because it is an adventure.

Yesterday evening John and I took a ride on the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train. We won the tickets at last year's UW Emergency Department christmas party and decided my birthday would be a great time to cash them in.

Mom called yesterday from Fort Leonard Wood, it was good to hear her over such a clear connection. Below is a picture of the house she is looking to buy, looks like a great place to visit! You can read more about it here.

An hour spent at the local WIC clinic and boy do I have milk. The state of Utah ranks 35th in the nation for its teacher pay, but hey, they have ways to make up for it! By the way, how long does it take to eat two pounds of carrots anyway?

The first story in this book is the scariest and it got not that scary as you read. I thought this book was pretty good. Three stars.

This book is about a kid that has tons of adventures, like he gets lost in a cave. I really like this book. One of his best friends name is Hucklberry Finn. There is lots of excitement. Four stars

This book was about a kitten who was being sold for twenty cents but somebody bought him for fifty cents. The rest of the book talks about Sock's life with his new family and what happens. P.S I liked this book

Brad and I finished reading the new Harry Potter book today. We read the whole book aloud to each other. I must say it was pretty good and we have never had as many hours of entertainment for $17.

This is my cute little Addyson Jane

Brad went in for his Esophagastroduodenoscopy (try to say that three times quickly, actually, try to just say it!) today and boy is he out of it! They let Hyrum and I in the recovery room (Harker stayed home with Diane's husband Ben) and Brad kept asking me crazy questions as he dozed in and out of it. He would ask a question and then thirty seconds later ask the exact same question again. Funny thing was, there were about six other people in the recovery room and they all kept doing the same thing. I tell you what, I don't know how the nurses in there keep it together! I had to try so hard not to laugh at all of them. Even when we were walking inside Brad asked me who put his shirt on him and couldn't believe it when I told him he had. I think I've got to get some of that stuff! I just went into the bedroom to tell him something and he woke up quickly, jerked around and then asked what time it was. He was concerned he was going to be late for his surgery! He has to have this done again in a month and this time I am going to have the video camera fully charged.

Word up my dogs! I just want to tell you all how much I love you all. I love seeing the family come together on Westhoff.net. I am very proud of Rachael and Matt. Keep up the good work. If we really get this thing going it will be the coolest. I also think it would be cool if got some web cams and did some video chatting online. I think that most of us have high-speed so it shouldn’t be that hard. Anyway, take care and keep on blogging. Oh yeah, this is not a commercial for mywesthoff.com.

I am so excited to get sarted but Brad and I have just returned from a power walk and I am dog tired. Hyrum is also hungry and has just about had it with me. But, before I head off to bed I am going to try to post a picture. For me this should be quite a feat.

I am not quite sure what to think of all of this but I am going to be a part of it!

Come on you guys! Let’s get some more posts up. I know that everyone has at least a few minutes to spare. Let’s win one for the Gipper! I don’t know what that means, but I know that we all need to post more. If we can’t be together in person lets get together on the web. I love you family. Westhoff.net blogging rules!

Let me just start by saying that John is the bomb. I am really impressed with the new site. I especially like the graphic you made for Zach’s page. I didn’t know that you had such skills. I am also very glad to see that you got Matt blogging.

Don’t forget to visit the other Westhoff site: http://www.mywesthoff.com

It tells you what animals do and don't. Animals that hop are: frogs, rabbits, and kangeroos. A cow moos and gives milk. Birds and bats fly. Rhinos eat grass and eats lots of grass. Salamanders, snakes and snails all sliter. I liked this book.

This book was about a Dad who lost his wife. So he put an ad in the paper, and there was a girl named Sarah who said she might be his wife. I liked this book because some parts in it were funny.

Three stars

Blubber is a really fat girl named Linda. All the other girls at school make fun of her. This book is very funny, and mean. The kids who are mean to Linda don't really learn their lesson, only one does, and she teaches the other girls a lesson.

The War with Grandpa is about a kid who has lived in one room his whole life, but Grandpa comes in to live in his house and is taking his room and Pete is stuck in the guestroom. And the war begins.

E ai gente?

A month or so ago, when contemplating how to influence my naturally intelligent children to live up to their full potential, I came up with a plan I quickly titled "Dad's Super Summer School."
