Oh "Deer"!!
Our poor little Hyundai, or commonly referred to as the "clown car". This has been the most reliable car we have ever had. It is going on 10 yrs. old and very reliable. But in November it had a little accident; the very first one! A deer decided to jump in its path. Unfortunately for the deer, the "clown car" won. Lucky for Tom, the deer hit him. I'm sure it could have been a lot worse, but Tom was o.k. We are counting our blessings! Had he hit the deer head on...who knows what the out come would have been; especially since the "clown car" is so small.
As you can see, it was a sad day for the deer. He left part of his skin in the passengers door. Although the deer caused over 3k in damages to our "little clown car", the repairs have been made and reliability has set back in.
When the kids found out that the deer died, they were very upset at Tom. We had to explain to them that it was not Dad's fault, and that he did not try to kill the deer. It took them a while to get over the fact that the deer had died. Although it is very sad that the poor little deer died, we are very thankful that Tom is o.k.
Citizenship in the Community required 8 hrs. of community service for a charitable organization. Max spent time working at Deseret Industries, and also collecting books for children to read. The books were then donated to medical office where they would help little kids.

Max's question of course was about yard care. He wanted to know why the pressure for the irrigated water was so low, and what was being done to fix the problem. The Mayor drew a diagram for Max and explained the pressurized irrigation system, and then told him that they are working on putting another water tank up higher to resolve the problem. Max was excited!!!

Max and Tom in a very strategic game of Risk.
Max's latest recital. He played Root beer Rag by Billy Joel. It was amazing. Way to go Max! This is one of our favorites. It is even on our blog play list.
I'll try to put some video of it so everyone can hear.
