Hey! I know it's almost a month late, but here is my Mount Rushmore pictures! We drove all night to get there, set up camp... went to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and the town Keystone. It was a blast. We watched the fireworks in a baseball field at a high school at Custard. :)
Love you all! :)

Adventures in AZ with the Jenna Bean!!!

Jen and Jube at the top of Camelback

Alright! So The Jenna Bean came to visit me last week and I showed her all over Phoenix and Scottsdale. I had such a good time with Jen and I was so happy she came to visit. We went hiking up Camelback Mt. and I was sooooo proud....she made it the whole way to the very top! Yay Bean!
I'll try to put a slide show together of us and all our adventures hikings and post it on here.
I also took her out for her first sushi experience at my favorite sushi restaurant called Sapporos for lunch after hiking to celebrate.

I taught her all about saki bombs! Ohhhhh yeah! I'll let Bean explain a saki bomb to mom later! :) We also went and saw and awesome exibit at the Botanical gardens....took some great pictures! We went for the Chihuly exibit, who is an artist that does exquisate glass blowing....really fabulous stuff!!! On Thursday nights I started playing open mic nights at a local Scottsdale bar called the Wok Star. Its a small little dive bar but I know everyone that goes and they started doing open mic nights, so I strap on my guitar and sing a little...and Benna was there to take a few pictures! She took a video so I'll try to put that up there. I wrote a song for open mic on Thursday that I played while Jen was there. I wrote it about guys who wear pink.....so Josh and Jer....if you wear pink....I'm sorry! haha...I'm really talking about the nuts from Scottsdale. Anyway...I'll try to figure out how to post a video...Jen's better at that...so maybe Jenna?? can do it?? Moving on: At the end of the week we went to a Diamondbacks game which was soooo fun....I love baseball in the summer and I had tons of fun sharing that with her! I hope you had fun Beano! I loved having you here for great times and great memories! Yay I love you! Enjoy the pictures!

Other news: Me and Crissy got a house!!!! Yay....She's leaving for her job...doing some traveling but I will start moving our stuff next week. We got a great three bedroom house in Chandler...great area! It has a pool, several orange and grapefruit trees in the back yard....AND in the back yard beyond our fence is a wide open lot where they keep horses!!! I have 8 horses in my back yard!!! Love it!! Crissy and I are so excited to get out of our tiny apartment! And now we have an extra bedroom so....Bean come back come back!!! We'll have a room for you!

Okay....here is my last bit of news! Grand Canyon Films just got funded to do a new movie based on the book called 'Escape from Hell' about a green beret Vietnam veteran...a story based on a true story about when this man got back to the states from the war and the characters he meets as he travels the US escaping PTS. I'm really excited for this film for two reasons....one: its a great story and I'm excited for GCF that we got funded. Hollywood and Jeff Santo brought me into the office to talk to me, and I thought they were just going to get me more involved in film making as a production artist....continuing my work as their executive assistant....meaning I would be there from beginning to end. However, that was not the case. They brought me in to offer me a role in the movie!!!!! I'll be playing a 19 yr old girl....a supporting role to the lead guy....I'm sooooo excited! This will be my first on camera experience and I start shooting in August! So wish me the best and I'll be excited to post more about the whole experience.
Jenna Ben: I had so much fun with you last week and I can't wait to see you again! Love you!
Mom and Dad: Andy and I already took time off for July and we will be flying up on th e18th and staying till the 22nd! We can't wait!
I love you all! Hope all is well....Miss you!

Greensburg video

Hey all! Mom I'm so glad you liked the video. I miss all of my family!!
Well here is the last video for the semester. It was my final... and i did most all of it today. Haha! I know, what to procrastinate! It is supposed to be a public service announcement for Greensburg, Kansas, and 'going green.' I think it ended up being more of a information graphic. Oh well. Here ya go. Love you all!

ALL MY CHILDREN

Surely the Lord has blessed me with wonderful children. Thanks to all of you who called and visited and shared their hearts' with me on Mother's Day! I know that is a special day, and I love when you call or write or send a special message. Jen, that was wonderful, made tears fall down my cheeks. I have always been excited about the Virtuous Woman in Proverbs 31. The last couple of verses says, " Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying "Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all." You, dear ones, have made my day by blessing me today! Love you all, MOM

HAPPY MEMA'S DAY!

I LOVE YOU MOM!
Hope all of the mom's are having a great day. I wish I could see you mema! But I am hoping to come down next week maybe! I miss you so much! Love you! Give Grandma a big hug and kiss for me! Thank you, mom and dad for all your support and prayers, also.
I never got around to sending you a card mom, but I did make you something else. Happy Mother's Day. I love you.

Thinking about coming over for a few days to see my nieces and fish with my brothers after finals is finally over!! And maybe sometime, I was thinking of bringing all my "johnson county" friends to my small town... since they've never seen one. Haha. You guys should let me know your summer plans so I can visit!! :)
Anyway, I was just gonna drop this Do It Yourself on here. I was gonna send it to Mom, but I thought Jube and Sara might like this too!
It's called Moss Graffiti! It's an awesome way of decorating outside walls and doing home decoration. It is just a combination of yogurt, sugar, and moss clumps, blended in a blender. This is an artist who does some designer work using the medium:

Dancing Queen & Mic Mac Funny Pants

Hi Family, Have a few pictures of the girls, Annika is our special dancer and Kenz is just a ham. They are getting bigger everyday and smarter too. Annika is our tiny dancer who did such a wonderful job at her dance recital, whe was absolutley a doll and did exactly what she was supposed to do, she likes a crowd, she did wave to mommy and daddy alot though which was funny. She is very outgoing. We like to think Annika knows more then most 10 year olds, she is always asking lots of questions and giving us the answers before we can say anything. Her favorite word is Mom, Mommy, and Mommy this, Mommy that, Mommy can I, Mommy what etc. Kenzi is very funny, everything she sees that is brown on the ground is poop. She can be a little rough at times, but she is still a dolly, she learns a new word almost everyday now and we never know whats coming. Our daycare providers sister-in-law is deaf so they learn sign language at daycare, and instead of saying thank you, Kenzi uses sign language to tell us. I could go on forever about our angels and everything they do to make our days. Here are some pictures, love you all, will have hunting stories coming.

Bacon, Bees, Batons O Fire and Baseball!

Okay: Details details. I got a new job a little breakfast and lunch venue called Bacon here in Old Town Scottsdale; a trendy little place that keeps busy. It's so much fun and very relaxed. No stress...so yay! The film company is still looking to get financed so until then everything is on hold. In the mean time I've been taking more and more photographs around the city and my goal for this summer is to get into a gallery here in Old Town.
A few weeks ago Tyler comes running into the house early in the morning and screams for me to come and see. Right outside our apartment was a colony of bees swarming above our light. Couldn't explain it! It was an amazing site. They came, swarmed around our outside light for about two hours, and then in an instant not a single bee could be found. Strange but very cool. So of course I took the opportunity to do a bit of bee charming and got as close I could to shoot some photos.

Later on in the week, me and Tyler met an interesting man who wandered into our complex. He came by around ten o'clock asking for a kitchen whisk. Strange request for the hour, but he told us he was a fire spin from Australia and would teach us a bit. So Tyler and I learned about spinning fire! How fun. Very HOT! But fun....
I took on the baton...fire rod with each end lit and Tyler took to the chains! It was a truly exhilarating experience. I reverted back to my days of being a baton twirler....yay for sticking me in those lessons MiMa...otherwise I might have singed every bit of hair off my head!

So besides bacon, bees, and batons...I'm super excited for baseball this season. I have tickets to the Diamondback Cubs series this coming week....yay cubbies! Jeff Santo (my former boss and son of Ron Santo....Cubs player in the '60s) gives me tickets to the DBacks games when he doesn't want to go....so yay for me!

Everyone is doing well. I'm so happy for my new job! Thank you all for your prayers.
Miss you tons and know anyone can feel free to visit anytime!

All my love- Jube
