We got to go on a few rides, saw some shows and had some fun.  The best was going on the tour, though it was a bummer that we could not go through the "town area" because of the recent fire, but we did get to see some things that we hadn't before, like Norman Bates chasing after us with a knife.  We stayed most of the day and got to hang out with Jon before he left for Texas (which I didn't know). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Gabs favorite part is when she got to take a picture with Matt Damon!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-7429264989912136796?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/7429264989912136796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=7429264989912136796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/7429264989912136796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/7429264989912136796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/08/universal-studios.html' title='Universal Studios'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-6750894956711546306</id><published>2008-07-27T13:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T14:20:03.990-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Junior High Camp!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzdrspQuRI/AAAAAAAAAD8/iYsl54q5OIo/s1600-h/DSCF0549.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227797010258639122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzdrspQuRI/AAAAAAAAAD8/iYsl54q5OIo/s200/DSCF0549.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzdsO2LOrI/AAAAAAAAAEE/QKV3XJgA2m0/s1600-h/DSCF0586.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227797019439610546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzdsO2LOrI/AAAAAAAAAEE/QKV3XJgA2m0/s200/DSCF0586.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzdst3hwcI/AAAAAAAAAEM/u7Zx2ZWtvz8/s1600-h/DSCF0588.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227797027766780354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzdst3hwcI/AAAAAAAAAEM/u7Zx2ZWtvz8/s200/DSCF0588.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gab and I both volunteered to be counselors for our church this summer for junior high camp. Each of us had 9 kids. We both had a great time! My guys and I stayed in a cabin (a racoon came and visited us one night) and Gab and her girls stayed in a yurt (really big hot tent). We had lots of fun. Gab was part of the KGB and I was part of the Interpol. Campers were divided into different groups to compete against each other for points. In the end, the campers that won got a shirt and little bragging rights. Gab's KGB group got first, while my group ended up with 3rd. Lots of fun though! We even got to go paintballin' and Gab is good!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-6750894956711546306?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/6750894956711546306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=6750894956711546306' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/6750894956711546306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/6750894956711546306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/07/junior-high-camp.html' title='Junior High Camp!'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzdrspQuRI/AAAAAAAAAD8/iYsl54q5OIo/s72-c/DSCF0549.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-8690077585720968531</id><published>2008-07-27T13:27:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T13:35:09.529-07:00</updated><title type='text'>U.S. Men's Soccer vs Barbados</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzbY7YS92I/AAAAAAAAADk/IPd1Z7Zrb-c/s1600-h/DSCF0411.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227794488773244770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 280px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 35px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="44" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzbY7YS92I/AAAAAAAAADk/IPd1Z7Zrb-c/s200/DSCF0411.JPG" width="408" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sad, sad, sad game, U.S. won by a lot, you felt sorry for the other team but it was great to see a lot of goals.

If authentic, it would shed light on the question, "Where do pets come from?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."&lt;br /&gt;And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."&lt;br /&gt;And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam.&lt;br /&gt;And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.&lt;br /&gt;And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam, and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom, and all the good names are taken, and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."&lt;br /&gt;And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."&lt;br /&gt;And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and to Eve, and loved them.And Adam was comforted.&lt;br /&gt;And God was pleased.&lt;br /&gt;And Dog was content and wagged his tail.&lt;br /&gt;After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility."&lt;br /&gt;And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know he is not worthy of adoration."&lt;br /&gt;And God created CAT to be a companion for Adam.&lt;br /&gt;And Cat would not obey Adam.&lt;br /&gt;And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the Supreme Being. And Adam learned humility. And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.&lt;br /&gt;And Cat did not care one way or the other.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-8678459967110207090?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/8678459967110207090/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=8678459967110207090' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/8678459967110207090'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/8678459967110207090'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/07/joke-for-mom-hope-you-can-get-to-read.html' title='Joke for Mom - hope you can get to read this!'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-276558832959251876</id><published>2008-07-26T20:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T14:21:17.048-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hot in the High Desert</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Howdie&lt;/span&gt; folks, its been awhile since I wrote anything on this, the wife has been doing all the work. Well it's Saturday and I believe the high for the day (from our car) is 104, nice! We didn't do &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;a lot&lt;/span&gt; today, look at some garage sales, books sales, had Mexican food and then went to church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pastor Tom is going over marriage and what the Bible has to say about it. I like what he said, he went over parts of Genesis 1, Romans 1, and then a few other epistles. Basically it said that man and woman are equal, just different, designed by God to do different things. God had designed the basics of marriage before the fall of man, and that we as "man" have a tendency to redesign what God created. Good stuff!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We only have a couple weeks till school starts and I have to go by my new school and get everything situated, like my room. I have some cool ideas and will provide photos in the coming weeks to show you all what it looks like. I would love to go off for a couple of days with Gab before school starts but we will have to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also booked flights for Thanksgiving, fly up Sunday and come back Friday (all for $75 bucks thanks to free flights). Hopefully we can catch a blazer game, they will be good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If any of you like sports and missed the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Espy's&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;ESPN's&lt;/span&gt; sports award show) you need to watch it. Justin &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Timberlake&lt;/span&gt; did a really great job, and there were a few spots that Greg &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Oden&lt;/span&gt; showed up, he is a talented fellow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I must go, where I don't know.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-276558832959251876?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/276558832959251876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=276558832959251876' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/276558832959251876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/276558832959251876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/07/hot-in-high-desert.html' title='Hot in the High Desert'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-2677817591224944691</id><published>2008-07-16T18:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-27T13:56:32.074-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Red Rocks concert</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg14nI6dI/AAAAAAAAAEU/oohZs9DtJgs/s1600-h/DSCF0713.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227800483804539346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg14nI6dI/AAAAAAAAAEU/oohZs9DtJgs/s200/DSCF0713.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg2bMfqtI/AAAAAAAAAEc/_MdUn2A0IOw/s1600-h/DSCF0714.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227800493088025298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg2bMfqtI/AAAAAAAAAEc/_MdUn2A0IOw/s200/DSCF0714.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg247dqTI/AAAAAAAAAEk/ET9_BT3pkMM/s1600-h/DSCF0721.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227800501069654322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg247dqTI/AAAAAAAAAEk/ET9_BT3pkMM/s200/DSCF0721.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg3jqRBZI/AAAAAAAAAEs/6ndu4I9ABmw/s1600-h/DSCF0755.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227800512540247442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg3jqRBZI/AAAAAAAAAEs/6ndu4I9ABmw/s200/DSCF0755.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg30JVxkI/AAAAAAAAAE0/F39TSpFSIXk/s1600-h/DSCF0716.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227800516965549634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg30JVxkI/AAAAAAAAAE0/F39TSpFSIXk/s200/DSCF0716.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dave and I just got back from a Colorado trip with my mom and Chris. We went out there to see Boston and Styx in concert at Red Rocks Ampitheater. It was awesome! For those of you who have never been there or heard of Boston or Styx, all three were really cool! We don't have many pictures because we couldn't take cameras into the concert, so I'll try to add some other links to see what Red Rocks is like. It's an outdoor ampitheater created from the enormous rocks that are in the area. It's spectacular! We really enjoyed Styx and Boston was good too, but several of the band members were sick, so that kinda stunk. But it was a great trip!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bandboston.com/"&gt;http://www.bandboston.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.styxworld.com/"&gt;http://www.styxworld.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.redrocksonline.com/"&gt;http://www.redrocksonline.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-2677817591224944691?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/2677817591224944691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=2677817591224944691' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/2677817591224944691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/2677817591224944691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/07/red-rocks-concert.html' title='Red Rocks concert'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SIzg14nI6dI/AAAAAAAAAEU/oohZs9DtJgs/s72-c/DSCF0713.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-792556728531187731</id><published>2008-06-18T19:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-18T19:42:48.975-07:00</updated><title type='text'>While in Oregon</title><content type='html'>&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213417484378209586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SFnHlIYsfTI/AAAAAAAAACk/0uih1QMyyTI/s200/DSCF0328.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SFnHlZ2NjsI/AAAAAAAAACs/OW2jBrfeVps/s1600-h/DSCF0327.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213417489065414338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SFnHlZ2NjsI/AAAAAAAAACs/OW2jBrfeVps/s200/DSCF0327.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;While we were in Oregon we did get to spend some time with our dear friends, the Browns! We secretly met Kara at the airport with Jeff. She didn't know we were going to be there, which is always fun. We had planned on going to Chili's (Kara's pregnant and she and the baby needed to have Chili's), but they were closed, so we went to the ever-faithful Olive Garden. The next day we planned to meet and possibly go mini golfing. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate, so we ended up going to a nickel arcade where we played a lot of some hunting game the guys found. Along the way we tried stopping at three more Chili's to satisfy the craving Kara was having. ALL THREE WERE CLOSED!!! Two looked like they had been abandoned and the other was closed thanks to some idiot manager who had been embezzling!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Despite our failed Chili's attempts, it was still a good time had by all!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-792556728531187731?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/792556728531187731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=792556728531187731' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/792556728531187731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/792556728531187731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/06/while-in-oregon.html' title='While in Oregon'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SFnHlIYsfTI/AAAAAAAAACk/0uih1QMyyTI/s72-c/DSCF0328.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-7570029532259008413</id><published>2008-06-16T19:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-18T19:30:49.805-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Visit To Oregon - Ludi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SFcjfDHCgZI/AAAAAAAAACc/_J5nt-sKkF8/s1600-h/DSCF0050.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212674110022386066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SFcjfDHCgZI/AAAAAAAAACc/_J5nt-sKkF8/s200/DSCF0050.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We went up to Oregon on June 5 and spent about a week up there. We visited many people, family, friends and some beautiful waterfalls. We started off getting in and getting our car. We would have had a nice little small gas efficient car, but when we got into it, it had no power. The battery was dead, so we ended up getting a larger car, a Susuki. (why do they still make those?) We ended driving to my parents and having Wall Street Pizza, awesome, though it was not up to its normal standards. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The next day we kinda did our own thing, we went to Changs Mongolian Grill, great place to eat, cheap, but some serious after effects. burps and other things. It was great though, then we ended up going into Portland and going to Powell's books, we also walked around Portland. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;That Sunday a very dear friend of ours, Matt "if there is a Will there is a Way" Will came into town with his wife. His wife hung out with some friends and we got to take Matt to some of my favorite places. We started off with Crown Point, and then down the gorge to visit the falls. Pictures are attached, we had a lot of fun and saw some of God's best work. Matt and Abby had to fly out the next day, so we took them to the airport and said goodbye. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We ended hanging with my parents a little longer and had some more good food. I am glad that I got to see Dan and my sister Sue and her husband Dave. I did get a chance to see Marlene, but that was it for the extended family. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks mom for having Gab play bunco, and giving Dan and I a chance to go to the movies with Dad. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-7570029532259008413?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/7570029532259008413/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=7570029532259008413' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/7570029532259008413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/7570029532259008413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/06/visit-to-oregon-ludi.html' title='Visit To Oregon - Ludi'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SFcjfDHCgZI/AAAAAAAAACc/_J5nt-sKkF8/s72-c/DSCF0050.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-3518486300224079755</id><published>2008-05-27T19:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-27T19:50:24.908-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hair for charity</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHGED54eI/AAAAAAAAAB8/l8RecSiqgu8/s1600-h/IMG_2940.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205254176316711394" style="CURSOR: hand" height="115" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHGED54eI/AAAAAAAAAB8/l8RecSiqgu8/s200/IMG_2940.JPG" width="141" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHGkD54fI/AAAAAAAAACE/6Q5tP0wr8t4/s1600-h/IMG_2975.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205254184906646002" style="CURSOR: hand" height="120" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHGkD54fI/AAAAAAAAACE/6Q5tP0wr8t4/s200/IMG_2975.JPG" width="179" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHG0D54gI/AAAAAAAAACM/8mQKTxiWEfY/s1600-h/IMG_2986.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205254189201613314" style="WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 108px" height="115" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHG0D54gI/AAAAAAAAACM/8mQKTxiWEfY/s200/IMG_2986.JPG" width="132" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHHUD54hI/AAAAAAAAACU/CSl-4V04wLU/s1600-h/IMG_2989.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205254197791547922" style="CURSOR: hand" height="113" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHHUD54hI/AAAAAAAAACU/CSl-4V04wLU/s200/IMG_2989.JPG" width="117" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are pictures of before and after and with Cindy right after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today a bunch of us cut our hair to give to make wigs for those who have lost their hair due to cancer. It's something I had started thinking more about since my Grandma Billie found out she had breast cancer. I wanted to find a way to help and give, but I couldn't think of anything until I remembered that a friend of mine and Dave's from college (Margie) had given her beautiful hair to something like locks of love. So I talked with my friend at school, Cindy (she's the other one in the picture) and she said she'd like to do it as well! We wanted to get more people involved, so Cindy talked to the Kids Care Club on campus and they started getting the word out a bit. So today was the day (finally) to cut our hair. To be honest, it didn't go the way we'd hoped, but our hair is cut and donated, so that's the point. Plus, it was kinda fun...she cut my hair and I cut her hair! Holy cow, it's tough to cut hair! I just started praying that our hair would bless someone!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-3518486300224079755?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/3518486300224079755/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=3518486300224079755' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/3518486300224079755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/3518486300224079755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/05/hair-for-charity.html' title='Hair for charity'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzHGED54eI/AAAAAAAAAB8/l8RecSiqgu8/s72-c/IMG_2940.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-931708883474452256</id><published>2008-05-24T20:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-27T19:28:57.303-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Knott's Berry Farm</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzDYUD54dI/AAAAAAAAAB0/bnkfBJvtEDY/s1600-h/IMG_2934.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205250091802812882" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDzDYUD54dI/AAAAAAAAAB0/bnkfBJvtEDY/s320/IMG_2934.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yesterday (Friday) we were chaperones on an 8th grade field trip to Knott's. It was not the best day for the weather, but we still had a good time and so did the kids. We went on a bunch of the rides and ate funnel cake (yummy!) and had fun with some of our teacher friends. It was fun to see the kids having such a fun time, despite the random spurts of drizzle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

celebrated our 4th anniversary on Friday. As most of you know, Dave is the most amazing man! He had such a wonderful day planned for me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, he gave me a lovely card and the movie "P.S. I Love You" (such a great movie, but have a huge box of kleenex if you watch it).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we got to school, I was working at my desk before school started and our friend, Cameron, came in with a sign that said "I". During first period our principal came in with a sign that said "will". My kids started getting excited and I told them that it was our anniversary and that got them even more excited. Then, a student walked in with a vase. He walked across the room and set the vase on the front table and walked out (very smooth). All my kids looked around and we kinds stood there in wonderment. Then, the door opened and all of Dave's students filed in with roses. They filled the vase with 24 roses and walked out. It was so amazing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When second period rolled around, two of our principals came in with signs that said "love" and "you". I put all the signs on the board. Then the door opened again and some girls came in and brought a bucket that had signs on it that read "All my hugs", "All my kisses", "All my life". The girls said that I had to keep the bucket with me all day. Then more of Dave's students came in and brought handfuls of Hershey's Hugs to put in the bucket. They also brought signs about our anniversary and one that read "All my hugs". Of-course I had to share with my kids! They were trying to guess what the rest of the signs would say. (My 1st and 2nd periods are the same group of kids and then they leave and I get a new set of kids for 3rd and 4th).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When 3rd period rolled around, my new set of kids had to be updated because there were signs on the board and all around the room and a vase of flowers and a bucket of candy. At the start of the period Mr. Bell (a friend of ours at school) brought in another sign that read "till". Then Dave's students came in with a couple of signs that read like a newspaper "Extra, Extra, read all about it" and "Mr. Ludi loves you" and they brought handfuls of Extra gum for the bucket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4th period came and I wondered what Dave would do because he has his prep 4th and doesn't have kids. But I guess a couple of the girls stayed after and brought in a huge banner poster that had flowers that had been individually colored and cut out and glued onto the paper. Each petal of the flowers had things written on them describing me. How special! Mrs. Bell came in and delivered a sign that read "the". By this point the kids were going crazy trying to figure out what the signs would say when they came in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After lunch I went up to Mr. Kerman's room (he and I teach 5th and 7th together in his room). I explained what I was doing with this bucket of candy in my hand. After the kids got seated (some are his kids and some are mine, so a few already knew what was going on-we explained it to the rest) he walked over and grabbed a sign that said "end". It was the final sign of the message. It read "I will love you till the end." These are lyrics from a song from "P.S. I Love You". Then, a group of Dave's kids came up and delivered Hershey's Kisses and more signs wishing us a happy anniversary and one that said "All my kisses".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, 6th period is my prep and I wasn't sure how that was going to work. But while I was in Mr. Kerman's room Dave brought his kids up and they delivered Lifesavers and a sign that said "All my life". By this time my bucket was almost overflowing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final period of the day my kids came in wondering what had happened the rest of the day since they had last seen me, so I updated them. As we were correcting their timed tests, one of Dave's students came in with a vase and a rose. She set it on the front table and walked out as the rest of the class came in with 3 dozen roses. It was such a beautiful boquet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't even tell you what a special day it was for me and how special I felt. Plus, it is a nice thing for our students to experience. They don't all have loving home lives and don't always see positive relationships that work, so for them to be a part of something like this is really great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was definitley a wonderful anniversary! What a loving man.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-4782330481325285963?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/4782330481325285963/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=4782330481325285963' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/4782330481325285963'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/4782330481325285963'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/05/our-anniversary.html' title='Our anniversary'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDJMH0varmI/AAAAAAAAABc/vs8KEX0R38A/s72-c/IMG_2673.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-5951054533081544139</id><published>2008-05-18T21:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-18T21:40:55.253-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Water War!</title><content type='html'>Forgot to mention, this last Friday, right after school, we had a water war at our school.  It was the staff versus 100 students.  It was fun, the students were randomly selected from our whole campus.  It was reward for showing up and doing well with our state tests.  The students had water balloons, while the teachers had balloons and water guns.  It was great, though in the end people resorted to tossing buckets of water on each other.  Good times.

We ended up going about 10 miles but the real interesting part happened on the way back from a park. We were riding along a road when I decided to get up on the sidewalk. I apparently did not pay attention and went through some water, and below the water was a nice slick piece of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;algae&lt;/span&gt;. I had turned to sharply, road on the edge of my tire and slipped on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;algae&lt;/span&gt;. Basically the bike slipped out right from under me and I bit it. At least I had long sleeves on, which protected me some, but I have a nice road rash on my elbow. I also have some nice road rash on my right leg. I will have some pictures up on the site pretty soon. I got up, and made sure the bike was all good. Some people stopped by to make sure I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;hadn't&lt;/span&gt; really hurt myself, which I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;didn't&lt;/span&gt;. I got home and had to clean up. Gab was great, especially since she slowed down enough to not run into me, she is that good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202301957713866306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDJKEUvarkI/AAAAAAAAABM/NS30GnpFXso/s320/IMG_2670.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the bike ride, I had to go down to San &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Bernardino&lt;/span&gt; to take my Geometry &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;CSET&lt;/span&gt;. Its the first time I had taken this one and I actually studied. It took me longer than I thought it would, but that was a good sign. I knew most of the information and I pray that I passed it. I feel pretty good about it. If I pass this one, I still need to pass the Algebra one, which I plan to take in July. In the evening we went over to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Smart's&lt;/span&gt; and watched their dogs. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Smart's&lt;/span&gt; were down the hill on their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;anniversary&lt;/span&gt; weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday we went down the hill and had a belated mother's day brunch with Lynda, and hung out for just a bit. On the way back we stopped at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;REI&lt;/span&gt; and purchased some bike supplies: gloves, replacement tires, repair kit and some water bottles. I guess I should have gotten the gloves earlier, which would have helped with skinning my hands. A little late I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have 7 days left of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;school&lt;/span&gt;, 4 this week, and then 3 the week after. This Friday we are going with the 8&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; graders to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Knott's&lt;/span&gt; Berry Farm, and then we have Monday off. I also have to pack up my room, the plan is for me to change schools. I was one of the last hires at our school so I am surplus so I get to move schools. Fun for me, but hey its just the way it is....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I am pretty pooped, which is the opposite of what I should be. We should be rested, but maybe that will happen when school is over.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-8940454081205388454?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/8940454081205388454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=8940454081205388454' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/8940454081205388454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/8940454081205388454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/05/ludi-0-ground-1.html' title='Ludi: 0   Ground: 1'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbIw6u-R8sw/SDJKRUvarlI/AAAAAAAAABU/UfbWZW1Qvxc/s72-c/IMG_2671.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-2800206133841535234</id><published>2008-05-11T16:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-18T21:34:56.466-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Come Monday It Will Be Allright</title><content type='html'>Last Monday was a great day, we &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;pranked&lt;/span&gt; a fellow teacher and got to see the results. I had worked on a great video to show his students as well as mine. This video declared our freedom! It was a cool lesson, and it showed me I really do want to teach social studies somewhere down the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of the week went pretty smoothly, though I went over to the same teacher's room to work on another prank, nothing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;vicious&lt;/span&gt;, but something fun and a friend of mine noticed a bunch of toilet paper tucked away (i am talking 24 roles). It doesn't take a mad scientist to put 2 and 2 together (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;that's&lt;/span&gt; 4 by the way) and realize that this teacher is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;planning&lt;/span&gt; on toilet papering one of our rooms. So I gathered the troops and we used his supplies to make a mess of his room. I have some pictures as well. It was a great time had by all, except for the teacher who got to see his room the next day. He was not to happy about it but we were good sports and decided to help him clean it up. Good times....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This last weekend we went down to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;REI&lt;/span&gt; and bought a couple of mountain bikes. We need them for the Muddy Buddy (in November), but wanted them now so we could go riding. It was a good day topped off by having some dinner with some friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning was pretty good, a friend of ours got baptised at church. It was emotional for his family and a good site to see. Well got to go do school work. :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-2800206133841535234?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/2800206133841535234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=2800206133841535234' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/2800206133841535234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/2800206133841535234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/05/come-monday-it-will-be-allright.html' title='Come Monday It Will Be Allright'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-6129680873768461132</id><published>2008-05-04T17:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-04T17:57:31.545-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sunday should last forever</title><content type='html'>Hey Peeps,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well not much to say, but wanted to recap the Bunko fundraiser from last night.  It was fun, lots of people, and some cool prizes.  The sad things was, that neither Gab nor I took anything home.  Some friends won, but not us.  Both of us had the same record, 13-11.  Not good enough for anything, and I never even got a Bunko.  Talk about loaded dice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were going to have Tim and Sarah over for dinner, but I guess that Tim is not feeling well so they had to reschedule.  Other than that, I finished my video for our prank on another teacher.  I need to find a way to put it up on this.

Well it's Friday and we are glad to be done, for the week &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;at least&lt;/span&gt;. Gab and I are both kinda sick (a cold) and we are trying to get over it. I kinda had the day off, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;at least&lt;/span&gt; from teaching. I was involved with a group that rearranged our &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;curriculum&lt;/span&gt; for one of our Algebra classes. I had Sarah sub for me, though we did get done early, so I was able to send her home early. I guess it went fast, except for one class period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another story, we have a teacher at our school who teaches Social Studies, currently he is teaching Manifest Destiny. Well he is getting his classes to take over part of the school and trying to expand his reach. Well some classes are not liking this (not really a major deal, but kinda fun). He &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;hasn't&lt;/span&gt; bothered me yet, but he has attacked a few a my &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;colleagues&lt;/span&gt; and the administration. So I went the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;administration&lt;/span&gt; this morning and let them know of my plans and asked for protection for me, my friends, and any others that are interested in joining. They said no problem and so I went along with my plan. Throughout the day I had proctors (campus security) and the custodians let me know that they are interested in helping me and willing to join my side, which is nice, because help is always appreciated. So this afternoon I, along with a select few others, raided his classroom after most of the teachers left. We removed all chairs, desks and the like to make his room look bare. We also spelled out S.O.S. in the middle of his room. We found his flags (he had his class makes flags to represent themselves) and put them upside down throughout his room. This weekend I am making a universal flag representing all the people that he has attacked and we will place it in his room. Another teacher, Mr. Bell, is having his students make a D&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;eclaration&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Independence&lt;/span&gt; for this teacher's class. I also am going to make a DVD for them that states our positions and our intentions. Kinda fun, and a loud &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;proclamation&lt;/span&gt; that you don't mess with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Ludi&lt;/span&gt;. I think Matt Will would be proud. Well I will get you some pictures pretty quick to show you what it all looks like!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also this weekend my beautiful wife and I are participating in a Bunco fundraiser. I have never played and don't expect to win, but it would be nice! No worries though, its for a good cause. (I should find out what the cause is :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that is all, going to do some stuff and chillax. Later gators!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-4735367032341135820?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/4735367032341135820/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=4735367032341135820' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/4735367032341135820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/4735367032341135820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/05/finally-friday.html' title='Finally Friday'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-4801261552284066278</id><published>2008-04-28T20:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-02T19:48:33.013-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Monday, Monday</title><content type='html'>Well, Monday is finally here, it went well, busy day. Both Gab and I had after school training for our new textbooks for next year. After that I had class tonight, so it made for a long day. We have it again tomorrow, at least I don't have class!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I played in the Sultana Golf tournament this last weekend, it went well. Our team ended up -4 after 18 holes. We finished in the middle of the pack, the winner had a -10. There were some great highlights; Cameron almost had closest to the hole (for a prize), but got beat out right at the end. I putted really well, including a 70 foot birdie, which was pretty awesome. I eventually hit a really bad shot that messed up my wrist and played not so well for the rest of the day. It was alot of fun though!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This last weekend was a lazy weekend, though I needed it. I thought I was getting sick and tried to rest a lot.  We went to church, where we were challenged about reaching out to our friends and family about Jesus. So if you are reading this, and want to know more about him, just give us a call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well have a good night, and sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-4801261552284066278?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/4801261552284066278/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=4801261552284066278' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/4801261552284066278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/4801261552284066278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/04/monday-monday.html' title='Monday, Monday'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-4322780616109719951</id><published>2008-04-26T20:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-26T20:10:46.114-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Just a heads up</title><content type='html'>Some of you might not have this, so here ya go....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12838 El Evado Road&lt;br /&gt;Victorville, CA 92392&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gab Cell     760 - 490 - 9087&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dave Cell   760 - 490 - 8581&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a good night, and God bless you all....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ludi&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-4322780616109719951?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/4322780616109719951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=4322780616109719951' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/4322780616109719951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/4322780616109719951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/04/just-heads-up.html' title='Just a heads up'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-3123134287633922376</id><published>2008-04-26T16:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-02T19:49:24.008-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Blazers</title><content type='html'>I believe that the Blazers are the future of the NBA, sorry Mr. Bell, but it is an easy thing to say.

Once the first runner completes the obstacle, they then bike to the next obstacle.  We'll continue to leap frog until the end where we'll meet and crawl through a final obstacle of mud to the end!  We've been working at training, which is fun for me since I &lt;em&gt;love running so much&lt;/em&gt;!  (For those who know me, you know that was sarcastic since I'm not into running.)  We're actually doing pretty well with running fairly regularly, despite the busy schedule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the website for the Muddy Buddy, check it out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.muddybuddy.com/"&gt;http://www.muddybuddy.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-1498438972500744346?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/1498438972500744346/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=1498438972500744346' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/1498438972500744346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/1498438972500744346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/04/muddy-buddy-run.html' title='Muddy Buddy run'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-9127293629530320682</id><published>2008-04-25T21:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-02T19:51:43.207-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Finally Friday</title><content type='html'>Well its finally Friday, and we are tired. We just got back from bible study, it was good but we &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;didn't&lt;/span&gt; have much energy tonight, none of us did. This week marked a few ends, we finished state testing, my class finished chapter 5 (one more chapter to go), and April is almost done.&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow should be a fun day, I am going with a few friends to participate in a golf tournament. It's a fundraiser for one of our local high schools. We are playing 18 holes, 4 man best ball, starting at 8 in the morning at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Hesperia&lt;/span&gt; Country Club (more like a run down public course). I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; know if we will win, but I would like to, just me being &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;competitive&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that I have started lately is playing basketball once a week with some friends from school. Its nice, 3 v 3 or 4 v 4 for a couple hours. This started about a month ago when we decided to take on our 8&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;grade&lt;/span&gt; basketball team. We ended up winning, but it was closer than it should have been. So, with that in mind we have continued to play and get better.&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that Gab and I have decided to do is go on the 8&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; grade field trip. The school is taking the 8&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; graders to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Knott's&lt;/span&gt; Berry Farm and need some &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;chaperones&lt;/span&gt; to watch over the kids. The nice thing is, is that we ride down with them on the bus and then we can do whatever we want. It's nice, because &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;a lot&lt;/span&gt; of my students will be going, so I can still build that connection. The hard part about the end of the year is that I am finally building some connections with my kids, but in a month or so, they will be gone. I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; know how many times I will get to enjoy their company (for good or bad), but I hope to make it worth it. Well, its 9:30, and I am tired, maybe get some rest.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-9127293629530320682?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/9127293629530320682/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=9127293629530320682' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/9127293629530320682'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/9127293629530320682'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/04/finally-friday.html' title='Finally Friday'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-2924001691473701130</id><published>2008-04-22T10:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-02T19:53:24.640-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='School'/><title type='text'>Testing is Almost Done</title><content type='html'>Today, Tuesday, is our last day for the state testing. We had 3 tests last week and the final one today. Most of the students are burned out, but our attendance was pretty outstanding, around 98% of the students came to school for this. I promised my students pizza if every student came to every day of testing. Overall they did pretty well but after the first day I didn't have everyone there. We have about a month and a half left of school, we get out at the end of May. Some teachers are counting the days, but I haven't yet, I am waiting until we are below double digits. As for my class, they are doing o.k., just a little lazy with turning in work. We have a chapter 5 test tomorrow and then one more chapter to go before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our school also received some new gadgets. The company is called &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;TurningPoint&lt;/span&gt; and they have this cool program and different receivers like the ones you see the crowd using on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire (I know I do). Well my department head ask me to find out how to use them and then give a presentation to the 8&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; grade math team. I am excited about this, though I am not sure everyone in our department will do it. I should be ready by tomorrow, which is the presentation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that is up in the air is where I will be teaching next year. Right now I am one of the lowest rungs on the ladder and might get moved to another junior high. I like where I am now, but depending on what other people do, I could be moving to our new junior high called Cedar. Its a very nice school, I just like where I am at now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well my kids are almost done testing, I better see what they are up too...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3313797101313414414-2924001691473701130?l=ludical.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/feeds/2924001691473701130/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3313797101313414414&amp;postID=2924001691473701130' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/2924001691473701130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3313797101313414414/posts/default/2924001691473701130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ludical.blogspot.com/2008/04/testing-is-almost-done.html' title='Testing is Almost Done'/><author><name>The Ludi's</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16696082219964794417</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313797101313414414.post-5080995707196370603</id><published>2008-04-19T20:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-02T19:53:43.900-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The First Day</title><content type='html'>After seeing the Brown's webblog I decided it would be a good idea to post ourselves (the Ludi's) so people can see what we are doing.
