Replacing a T-5 Transmission in a Shelby Cobra

The transmission in our Cobra has had issues for a while. So I bought a rebuilt tranny on eBay a few months ago and Carson and I finally got around to installing it. I searched for a posting on the internet to guide the process, but didn't find

Family Picture, take three

Trying to get Tucker away from the tricycle for just a few minutes isn't easy. But we were able to get some decent pictures anyways.

New Found Mobility

After riding the ATV and Grandma and Grandpa Knight's house, Tucker dissappeared for a little while. He had run into the garage and sat on the tricycle. Now anytime we visit, he has to go for a tricycle ride. Comments AuntieM (Sep 11, 2009): These are GREAT pictures!

Playing at Grandma and Grandpa Knight's House

We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Knight's house to play for a while today. We tried out the new ATV and played around on the tri-cycles.

Backyard Lawn Growing -- Week 3

At three weeks, the lawn has been thickening up and the bare spots are filling in. It's looking pretty good.

Portraits by Carson

Carson was experimenting with the timer on the camera and has taken some pretty good pictures.

Backyard Lawn Growing -- Week 2

I don't have the grass border in yet, but you can begin to see the shape. It is really growing well.

Painting the Sidewalk

Carson has had all kinds of opportunity to paint recently, Hailey (one of our neighbors) came over and invited him to paint the sidewalk with her.

Carson Preparing for Burning Man Festival

Izzy and Annie's Dad is going to the Burning Man Festival, so they invited Carson to help them paint the trailer. Comments Yo' Mama (Aug 31, 2009): I have some pink and purple fur Carson can glue stick on if they are game... :)

Backyard Lawn Growing

Carson and I finished the backyard sprinklers last week and planted grass seed. One week later, it is growing pretty well! Comments AuntieM (Aug 29, 2009): Wow! Looks pretty good - all that in just one week of growth?

Taking Steps

Tucker started taking steps without holding on to anything today. He's getting close to walking. He also climbed the ladder to the top bunk bed in Carson's room all by himself. It was pretty funny to see a child that tiny climbing like that.

Baking Italian Pugliese

I love baking bread -- I just don't do it often or well. Hopefully a little practice will help. Carson helped me bake an Italian Pugliese with black olives. It was fun to make, but a little rushed. I didn't have time to let it rise

Turning 4 -- Carson's Birthday Party

We had a small get-together at my parents house for Carson's birthday. Carson was really looking forward to it and had a great time. The cake turned out SOOO good too -- we got a Baskin Robbins Fudge Crunch cake. We were fortunate enought to have as guests:

Carson City Train Museum

My Grandfather worked as a telegrapher for the railroad many years ago. He and my Aunt Anita have been sharing pictures and stories with the Carson City Train Museum, gaining our family a private invitation to the preparation and a ride of an old Virginia & Truckee Railroad engine. It

A Childs Love...

Angela was relaxing on the floor when Tucker gave her a hug. I had to take a couple picts.

Pre-School Graduation

I had no clue that someone could graduate from pre-school, but Carson did it. They put on a good show of the things the kids learned and did during the year. Then he received his 'diploma' and a flower to give to Angela. It was pretty fun.

Riding with the Snakes of the Nevada Desert

For my birthday, my sister and father took me for a dirtbike ride (no, they aren't the snakes that the title refers to). On the ride, we saw some really cool snakes! This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake spooked Teresa while we were looking at some petroglyphs. This Desert King

Wildflowers of the Nevada Desert

For a very brief period each year, the Nevada Desert springs into life. Wildflowers bloom, then wither within days. These are some of the pictures that Teresa and I took.

Boys Playing in Boxes, Again

Anytime there is a box on the ground, the kids climb in. The packaging for our water storage bags / boxes was lying on the floor, so Carson dumped his cars in, then climbed in with Tucker. They had a great time playing with the cars.

Emergency Water Storage

For a long time, we've wanted to have a decent water supply in case of an emergency. We just never did it. So when Bishop Mueller encouraged the Ward to focus on preparedness this year, we we're excited for the extra motivation. This month, the focus

Laundry Room Cabinets

A year ago we bought cabinets for our laundry room; but they never quite made it into to the laundry room. They just sat in their boxes in Tucker's room. So Angela suggested that installing them may be a good birthday present for her. So Carson and I

Doctor Carson Knight

Without regard for the drastic socialist movement in the medical field, Carson has launched his medical career -- mostly by chasing me with his toy needle and checking to see if my heart is still beating.

Look Ma': No Training Wheels!

Carson (with a little help from Dad), decided he was ready to try his bicycle without training wheels. He did pretty well, but in the end, the training wheels went back on his bicycle. We'll have to try again next weekend.

Fleischmann Planetarium at UNR

Now that Carson is a school-boy, we decided to take him to UNR to show him what universities are. We started with the Planetarium, which dissappointingly, had changed very little since I was a kid. But Carson enjoyed it. He even got to touch a meteorite. Then as we started
