RIVERDALE — A 33-year-old Roy man died early Friday after a suspected drunken driver fleeing from police ran a red light and collided with his vehicle.The incident began around 1 a.m. when an officer attempted to pull over Phillip Andrew Ben, 28, of Layton, on Riverdale Road at 650 West for an insurance violation. Ben pulled the newer model Chevy Impala to the side of the road briefly but decided to speed off, said Lt. James Ebert. Because of the erratic way Ben changed lanes to pull over, the officer became suspicious that he might have been impaired.Ben accelerated through about four green lights heading north on Riverdale when the light at the intersection with 36th Street turned red in front of him, Ebert said. The pursuing officer, several blocks behind the suspect, was contemplating terminating the chase when the Impala blew through the red light and collided with a 1987 Honda Accord heading west on 36th, Ebert said.The driver of the Accord, Joseph Paul Kirk, 33, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene, Ebert said.Ben’s car bounced over the curb and collided with two cars in the parking lot of Enterprise Rent-A-Car. He then jumped out and fled the accident on foot, hiding nearby, Ebert said.Police set up a perimeter around the area, causing the suspect to spook from his hiding place and run again, Ebert said. A citizen saw him running and attempted unsuccessfully to tackle him, but slowed him enough for police to catch up, Ebert said. Ben struggled with officers and was shocked twice with a Taser before police were able to handcuff him, Ebert said. He was transported to the hospital and released several hours later when he was booked into Weber County Jail on felony charges of evading police, DUI, vehicular homicide and several outstanding warrants, Ebert said. A search of his criminal record found numerous outstanding warrants for traffic violations, including failing to stop at the command of the law, driving on a denied license and driving on an alcohol restriction.
YEAH!!! Max did it!! He graduated from puppy class!! He is the smartest puppy we have ever had :-). He had to do a little course to graduate. He walked down one aisle in petsmart doing the loose leash walk and when you stop he would sit, he had to walk around a cat post then on the the next row. There was a cat toy to distract him we told him to "leave it" and of course he left it. Next he had to do a sit stay for 30 seconds and a down stay for a full minute and he did amazing. The last thing to do to pass the the test was a "come" and of course he came!! He is learning so quickly we are so proud of him. It should not be called " Pets Mart" it should be called " Pet Smart" he he he. Now Daniel is in the process of teaching him other tricks such as roll over, shake and he already knows how to say bye bye very well. 
We were sick of everyone thinking he is a girl too so we got him a shirt after graduation so hopefully people will realize he is a manly man!!
It was Emily's birthday on 8/20/08 and Somer's birthday on 8/23/08. On Sunday we had a big dinner at the frandsen's to celebrate the birthdays. We had a delicious ham, funeral potatoes, vegetable casserole, corn on the cob and fabulous homemade rolls. It was very tasty. For Emily's birthday her favorite color is ORANGE so we got her this cute orange polo with a navy blue lacy tank to go under it. Then for somer's birthday we got her this darling hunter green short sleeved sweater with a necklace to match. We loved both the presents and hope the girls did as well!! Daniel was in charge of the pics and this is all he got :-)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!! We hope you both had fabulous days and we love you!! 
As long as I can remember I have had long hair. When i was too young to do my own hair my mom sometimes would cut my hair to a bob. But as long as i have done my own hair it has been long. Well I decided it was time for a change i was sick of always looking the same. SOOOOOO I chopped off my hair AGGGGHHHHH. I was so nervous the night before i cut it i couldn't sleep and kept having nightmares. But my friend Tammy who did my hair did an amazing job and I LOVE it. I just hope i know how to do it!! So Those of you with short hair if you have any advice for a new bee fill me in. 
Daniels brother david was so nice to help cut the sod up and transport it to the back. They only broke 3 sprinklers :-) . Sod is so heavy and i'm a super woose so i got to the point where i would just roll up the sod and the boys would carry it to the wheel barrow then roll it to the backyard.
It took us all night long but we got it all done. Friday Daniel and my brother chuck went and picked up some dirt to raise the ground with they made the dirt slope towards the sidwalk and street instead of the house.
Then we put the sod back down it took us till 11:00 at night and daniel started working on the dirt at 7 in the morning it was a long day and he was so exhausted.Saturday morning we had to give the puppies baths they got so muddy and dirty from helping us out :-). We were also watching Daniels sister Wendy's dog buddy for the weekend. max loved having a friend.
after the bath daniel fixed th sprinklers.
now we get the joy of pouring some new cement. but the yard is coming along quite nicely. Hopefully we can get it all taken care of this summer so we can have a party next summer :-)
