Spring, oh Spring come soon and send away old woman Winter

Hello everyone. Let's just say after I got back from London I had alot of daddy time to recuperate. This week finished with ultimate bliss. Everyone at school was gone away on ski week. The bad news is that Simon got a stomach virus Fri night and still suffers. Buddha has been throwing up so now she has it. Mommy and Daddy hope not to get it!!

As airplanes fly by I constantly remind the girls of our wonderful vacation this summer. We are very excited and soon we'll be buying the tickets. This winter has paid it's toll and seriously has broken the balls. I need longer warmer days.

I started running again and I realize that age is paying it's toll. I wanted to run a famous 10k race in April. It's called the Stramilano but there is no way i'll be ready for it. What is important is that I'll be super sexy by July to embarrass Kyle infront of the family again!

The Twelfth Night

Well this is the backdrop to St.Pauls off the bridge to the Global theater. If you dont know what it is then go stick your head in the toilet ignorantus!

I went on a school trip with my 17 year-olds to London. It was my first time and I really enjoyed it! London is spacious, big and clean. Which is quite surprising. Full of many ethnicities and races yet it seemed everyone was equal. (which is nice and yet surreal) It wasn't really a sight-seeing trip as it was for schooling. We saw very few places and when we did see them it was too quick to enjoy them.

I mostly had to make sure the monkeys went to sleep IN their own rooms and woke them up in time for school. We studied shakespeare and the historical background that followed. We were only all together in the morning for school, at night and if there was a day activity. If not they disappeared to go shopping. Shopping is actually fun there, its alot less expensive than Italy.

I was going to buy Ely a 100 dollar Burberry shirt. It's a famous English brand name. I was indecisive so I ended up buying her homemade butterscotch fudge. She told me that I did the better thing and that if I had bought her that shirt "she would have lorena bobbited me!" Everyone had been to London several times except for me. So I was a little more excited than the students to see places.

We saw the play in the Duke of York's theatre, The Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. It is an entertaining comedy with some love drama. It reminded me of a funny version of a modern day soap opera with a crazy love triangle. "if music is a fool, play on!"

We also went to his home town, Stratfort-upon-Avon. It was a little quaint village two hours outsite London. We saw where he lived , where he was baptized and died. We actually walked in his house. Talk about going back into time. We stopped at a pub to eat and drink near his house. The pub was older than 400 years. Older than our own country pretty amazing , I think. Over all in London the days and nights were freezing. It rained and snowed preventing us from doing more things. It was a total of five nights and six days.

Prof. Caligari and Myself enjoying good brew. Long live cider

The subway station is much more advanced than that of Milano and the double decker buses were great. There were hundreds of them filling the cold streets of London. The hangout was Piccadilly Circus. When I spoke to people I had no idea what they were saying. (didn't English spawn from this island?) They did have Pizza Hut, Subways, Starbucks and Doritos. can you say heahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

On the last day I saw Big Ben and the Westminister Abbey. The statue of Richard the Lionheart was in front.

The hotel was nice but the food was borderline prison food. My room was tiny ( like kyle's neurons) without WiFi. I brough my little net book to chat with the family but there was no way I was going to pay. The only hotel in the world without WiFi. Even Tijuana, Mexico where I got my degree in Manly Sexiness has WiFi. Five pounds an hour? I can tell you where to stick it too...

On the way out we had to travel through East London. It was pretty Ghetto. it reminded me of Hemet (ahahahahhahah)


My feet were blistered and I missed sleeping and other things that I cannot mention :) But all is well that finishes well. We made it back home in one piece. My kids that I went with are a good group of kids so I had a good time with them. This was the first time I was so far away from my family. I got lots of chocolate hmmmmmmm and some gifts for the kids to make up for the time I was gone. It burdened me some but time flies and now I'm already back home smacking up my little monsters.

Globe theater where Shakespeare wrote his plays. Don't be hating!
Can you find me in this pic?

I think I the best part were the pubs and the good brew.
God Save the Queen!

Budda's version

Buddha goes at it too, but the problem is that she is speaking "gremlin" since her DNA is 99.9% fat fur-ball. I have no idea what she is saying. But she had to represent too. (in her carnival costume)

The Rhymin Monkeys

Erin learned a little knowledge from me. So as all valuable knowledge attained, it too must be shared. so bathe in the enlightenment. -suckers write me checks and then they bounce so I reach into my pocket for the fresh amount- Beastie Boys

Erin's & Buddha's debut

Erin tries to explain what she wants for xmas in four pictures that she drew. They increasingly get strange. So if you want to get Erin a present, now you know what to get. I had to shrink the origional video for it to fit. so the quality is bad.

BACK on the saddle AGAIN!

Erin's first day at school


Believe it or not this is my little girl getting bigger. It makes me sad how time flies with kids. Erin now goes to first grade and Buddha goes to kindergarten. So mommy can spend good one on one time with baby Simon.

School has started for me and we are back to the same routine. The girls swim on fridays and Daddy has play time saturday morning. Right now Ely started working a few hours a week teaching and I started a course to get my Italian drivers' license. Okay I'm like 7 years late. but late than never.

We are all pretty good. We often talk about next summer and going to America to visit family. We really missed not going out this year. Thanks to some sexual reproduction we has baby Joshua as the newest member of the Kone family. Sorry Simon your glory is gone. (as long as u arn't as ugly as Kyle u are ok) Everyone decided that they can't live without Mom's meatloaf so they all moved to Utah. Suckers!!

Lots of love to all.

Ireland, Grandpa & Grandma, The Swimmer

Where to begin? If you don't believe in God, go to Ireland. Breathtaking landscapes, forgotten castles and great brew! We went there for five days and drove all over the southwest region. We drove around the famous ring of kerry. The drunk Irish gave me a car rental with a manual transmission. Yes, the steering wheel was on the right hand side and I drove with the leperchauns on the wrong side and still survived!
The girls loved it and little simon was a great baby. The Irish may know how to lay down green, but they sure don't know how to build a damn road! P.S when you're plane leaves in two hours, dont believe you have time to stop at burger king! Coming home was a bad memory. Let's pretend it didn't exist.


After I got out of the Italian mental institution for disobeying the one child rule after the age of 46, Dad and Karen came. Surprisingly no kids were thrown out of the balcony from our 5th story apartment. The girls were somewhat civilized and cracker even got one or two comments from dad. (between me sticking my foot in her butt!) They were here almost three weeks. We were able to see them alot and more importantly the kids were able to spend some quality time with their grandparents. Dad was part of Simon's blessing and donated his camera lens to charity! He tried to falsify my beauty as he went to the Switzerland temple under my name. (local authorities realized that dad wasnt the famous x pornstar that people came to love!) They were able to travel alot and pick up some cool Italian. If you see a pimp in SLC with a Boggi shirt on, you'll know where it came from. this picture was taken during easter. I'm sure you realized something is missing?! You are right, erin lost her tooth.



Erin finished her swim year with a race in the big pool. She swam for 25 meters in both freestyle and backstroke. She is our little fish, just like her daddy. Except now daddy looks more like a blow fish. If I just gave you an ugly image, just think of what Kyle's toilet feels before he sits on it! Erin goes once a week on friday. She won a medal and got third place. Yeahhh Erin....
well school is finishing and we are still figuring out what we are going to do for the summer. I'm exicted cuz my book is making good progress. I've been released from my calling, which enables me to keep some of my neuron cells. love to all
