Happy Chanukah

This is belated I know and it appear I have become a vlog. . .but oh well,

Maybe Gaga

Too cool. . .

A Noble Animal

The Cry of Repentance

My wife showed this to me and I had to share. This little girl is destined to become the next Lilly Graham.

Sooooo tired. . .

ZZZzzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzz.

Blast from the past. . .

Amazing how things from the past can sneak up behind and slap you.

Today I overheard some saying that the biggest day of 2010 was September 2nd. My ear picked up on this cause usually it is September 11th and I was curious why this day trumped it.

Drum roll . . . . . .

Yep, apparently for this thirty something, teen soap fan, something BIG is rolling out on 9/02/10. . . get it. . . 90210.

Admittedly I have never even seen a single episode (I know, can you believe it!) but I do know it single handedly brought side burns back into style.

What a retroslap. . .kind a like hearing an Ace of Base song.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Havalah!

I'm back . . . I hope

Wow, crazy, it has been just about a year from my last post. I have been in a pressed sabbatical, life happened. I yearn to put my hand to the pen again so here I am.

I log into my blog for the first time in a year and I have 12 comments to moderate. I am so excited! It turns out to be links for pharmacy site selling Viagra, invites to see some strange girls unmentionables, Chinese writing, and attempts to start business relationships with me with "real good dejected prices". Really! Is anyone else annoyed that losers out there have to take every cool thing on the net and figure out how to peddle their porn, smack, scams, and links with it?! Nine out of every ten friend invites on Facebook now want to "show me their pics". I should change my gender status just to avoid half this junk!

If anyone is out there (that doesn't want to show me their leaf covered sections!) give me a shout out. Otherwise I am writing to myself. . . again. . . for therapeutic benefits. . .

Fireworks: Man vs. Nature

I am standing out back late at night when I got to see something simply amazing . . . lightning during a Days of '47 fireworks show. It was like a contest between man and nature - who could light up the sky in the coolest way. Both were very impressive!

So what's your vote? Which is more awesome?

Fallen

I have succumb to the darkside. . .I joined Facebook. . .Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

A couple of wows and woahs. . .

Wows:

How cools that so many people have hooked up with me in forty-eight hours, its almost like I

have friends! This could boost anyone's morale. But truly, I like everyone who has asked to be a friend, very cool!

FarmTown, the one and only (fingers crossed) game I play on Facebook. Low maintenance, principled, and simple . . . love it.

I got to show my family off to my Facebook friends, including David.

Woahs:

Gotta get used to the chaotic wall format. Information like a paintball machine gun sprayed at a wall. . .

A ton of quizzes, polls, and causes. . . hold the cards close to my chest on those items.

See ya, I gotta go post on Facebook. . .

Four down, twelve to go. . .

A quarter of the way through the year. . .

Are you smarter than fifth grade student?

It is getting weird when my daughter Havalah is bringing me homework that I have to study the chapter myself in order to help her. As a confession, sentence diagramming was my weakest link in the subject of English. Frankly, my fanciest diagramming terms come from the movie Oscar. Oy!

The laborer. . .

Today they had neighborhood clean up which meant they deposited dumpsters throughout the area for folks to dispose of their junk. And boy do we have junk! I kid you not, four hours later and the six closest dumpsters to my house were full. I managed to get all the stuff I needed out into one of the bins but what a goat rodeo. I'm just happy it is done.

DUP

I interpreted for Daughters of Utah Pioneers. It is really an interesting group and a history nerd's paradise.

A great ad. . .

My sister's blog had this and I loved it.

I love Shabbats with my children. . .

My Irish twins are so funny. They can play for hours at a time and keep each other entertained the whole time. They play with boats, balls, blocks and whatever else their small hands can grasp. Most of the time they pass an object between each other. They also squawk and babble at each other. You wouldn't think they are really communicating anything except once in a while they will start laughing like they just told the funniest joke in the world. This always makes me wonder. . .

My Ma's cool photo. . .

My mom has an awesome photo blog. If you haven't, you should totally check it out. Anyway, she recently posted a photo near and dear to this blog's heart so we had to share. . .

Bring your children to work day. . .

My company does a great job when they put on the "Bring your children to work day". They make badges for them, gift bags, activities, T-shirts, the whole nine yards.

This year Havalah and J-Bo were able to go. They both had a great time.

Happy Earth Day!
