Yes, Virginia,



there is ice in Arizona.
See??!!!  I told you ... for all those who don't think it ever gets cold in Arizona, this picture proves you wrong. Our fountain was frozen over this morning and there are actually icicles hanging.  :) 

Oh - so much to catch up on! I'm getting really horrible about blogging. I think it might be because I'm on a computer all day for work, then I'm constantly making updates to the SK8 ASYLUM website, the SK8 ASYLUM FB page, returning emails, filling out applications, and honestly? ... I look forward to logging off the computer. So, forgive me. I've been bad. Sorry.  :(  So last post was Thanksgving, hope you all had a great Turkey Day. Friends and family, and friends who are considered family sooooo make the Holidays fun! We had such a nice day and have some pics to show below. Decided to forego the "Turkey" this year, and went for a nice 14lb prime rib instead. It was gladly accepted by all, and we're proud to report that the kids are not emotionally scarred by not eating turkey on Thanksgiving. Well at least we don't think they are. Will find out next year ...

Mommy and Reagan - sooo cute!



And ... to answer your questions: 1) Yes, that's the prime rib  2) No, it didn't burn and it tasted FANTASTIC and ... 3) Yes, Bryan does own a belt. Wearing it, however, is optional.


So that was our Thanksgiving! Celebrated Kailee's birthday on Saturday with a barbecue, presents and birthday cake. Can't believe she's already 7!  Wow!  Rest of the weekend was spent running errands and "shopping" for park/shop furniture and equipment. Very tiring but it's getting there! Rest of the week was pretty normal - busy as usual, and nothing TOO exciting.  However, this:


was extremely disappointing. Sad. So. Very. Sad. Had a GREAT time watching it though. Headed over to the Heil's for some dinner and drinks and watched the game. Pretty bummed with them Beavs, but oh well. We'll see what's in store for them within the next few weeks. Oh, and go Ohio State. Headed out for a skate session now ... will check back soon! Promise!

1st day of the build ...

was very successful! Everyone was ready to go and the crew got an incredible amount of work accomplished. The bowl was the day's project. Tomorrow will be more of the bowl and the vert ramp. See pics below!

In approximately 12 hours,

there will be a GREAT deal of activity in this building! That's right people ... the build begins tomorrow! We might as well be waiting for Christmas morning here ... Bryan and his crew of guys are soooo ready to get this thing going! The bowl and vert ramp are the first to be built, although most of the "pieces" and transitions have already been cut. Now it's about putting it all together. The landlord's crew has been in the space all week with the electricians, plumbers, etc. working on the lighting, building out the bathrooms and office, putting up the pony walls, sprinkler systems, doors, etc. Haven't seen it yet, but am anxious to check it out tomorrow. I'll be sure and post pictures of all the hubbub.
I'm sure it will be quite the circus. :)


We got our boards in ... FINALLY ... here is the first batch of our shop boards ...



And here is what the "natural" board looks like up close with the trucks on it ...


Keep checking the website for construction pics as well.
Trying to keep our "fans" on the edge of their seats!
