Lots of Zak

I didn't know what to do for Digital Photo class, but I had a bunch of pictures of me, so I made this. Find the real Zak (hopefully you can click on the picture to make it bigger).

I'll give you a hint: the Zak in the giant hole was photoshopped in.

Creepy Family

I was running out of ideas, so mom suggested this. I wish I didn't have to rush a little to finish on time.

Napoleon Crossing The Alps

So I found this picture of Napoleon and thought it was offensively innacurate, so I fixed it to be more like what really happened

Crazy Animals

In-case you couldn't tell, I made the picture with a lion's body and tiger's head when I was really crunched for time.

Sing While You Read

2 GREAT Pieces of Cole Family News:

1. Quinn scored a goal in his AHS soccer game yesterday!!

2. Zak now has his Driver's License!!

Letter Campaign

This morning, while looking at my e-mail, I saw this letter:

Hello,

I was wondering if you accept guest post for your blog. If you do, I
would like to submit a few. You can see a sample of my work at
LaptopComputers.org under the author James Mowery. I've also written
for several high-profile blogs like Mashable, Performancing, and
CMSWire. Thank you for your time.

- James

So, I responded:

Dear James,

If you had taken the time to even look at our blog, you would have quickly noted that it is mostly family, funny items; really not appropriate for guest posts. We are flattered that you would like to be seen as part of our family, but we will have to see some good referrals before we start to refer to you as a Cole.

Good Luck!
The mother of all

It's good to be a Cole!

We All Have Needs

This afternoon, while going through my Rolodex to find the Orthodontist's phone number, this is what I found: Really, very funny.

We all have needs.

Go find a clever place to announce yours.

Google AdSense

I don't know if it makes sense, but we had a big discussion last night about adding adds to our blog. "We could make money".

Then it was compared to my saving water bottles, etc.
Then someone said that we could make more with the adds per month than the water bottles...that was quickly taken back.

I really think people I know....Christopher, Heather(?) have done this AdSense thing. Did you, have you? Are you glad you did, did you make any money? Have you known anyone that did this and made money? Don't you need a readership of 500,00 people per day to really make $100 a month?

That's my take.
But I am willing to try.
I think the add will pop up in 48 hours, or 10 minutes, who knows?
Click on it when you see it.
Let's give this experiment a go!

I Talked to Chase!

Such news, such stories!

Apparently, he got a new roommate!

His favorite roommate moved out. He moved to another Centennial apartment. So Chase got a new roommate; the kind that actually lives in his room.

1. He is a gamer.
2. He loves playing all types of computer games.
3. He is about 24.
4. He has spent his time playing computer games.
5. He is going back to UVU this semester.
6. His classes start at 8:00am.
7. He takes the bus to school.
8. He wakes up at 4:00am...sometimes 5:00am.
9. He tunes on the lights at the awful hour.
10. Chase has requested that he please not turn on the lights.
11. When he comes home from school he puts his bathrobe on and starts playing games.
12. No one really knows where he comes from. He has given 3 different answers.
13. He snores.
14. Chase guesses that he does not wear deodorant; he needs to.

I told Chase to take notes and write a book. It could be a best seller!




Chase also joined a Water polo Inter tube Intramural team!


They have not played any games yet, they WERE going to play, but it got cancelled.


I am glad he is SO adventurous!

**The picture off the the side ------->
is NOT a real picture of Chase playing
water polo.


It was a delightful phone call. I just wanted to share it with you all!




Enjoy!

Tree Update & Some Discussion

The next day after the whole TREE situation I heard lots of noise coming from over by the "trees". I took a picture. See that little, tiny yellow guy in the tree? I am not sure what he is doing. You probably thought, "wow, I can't see anything, zoom it lady!" Well, I did zoom the picture. This is the original picture. I took these while standing on my front porch.

The tree guy got down out of the tree that same night. Four of them went to jail. The trees got cut down.

Now, on to Oprah!

I saw her interviewed the other night by Piers Morgan. He did a very good job. I enjoyed what I saw. They spoke for a few minutes about marriage and Oprah not being married. She said she was happy about it. Marriage would not have worked for her. She told of a story where she was having meetings at her house the last few nights and when dinner time came she would get up, stop her meeting, go and fix Steadman dinner and then come back to the meeting. She liked doing that. She wanted to make dinner when she wanted to make it, not to have to make dinner.

I think Oprah missed one of the greatest lessons of being married! To do things, (be thoughtful) of the other person even when it is not convenient for you. To do "it" (that can be anything) even if you didn't really want to. Isn't that when we learn to be self-less? Part of the reason for us to be on this earth is to learn to be better people.

Any thoughts?


Well, speaking about doing something I didn't really want to do....

Griffin asked me to please help him make slime the other day. I forced myself up and we made it! It has been fun to touch and play with. I think everyone has had their hands on this gooey, weird stuff.

Ok, this picture should have gone before the other one; whatever.

Who recognizes Kylie's shirt?

Who owned it first?

Really, I don't know.

Ok, Now I am going out to clean out the pool.

I'll have a great time.
