Great News!

We got this fabulous dress in the mail today! Unfortunately, it doesn't fit
anyone in our family as you can see (since Lincoln was Maegan's bobby-pin). I guess we just give it to the DI.

Possibly the funniest video we have made to date...and we didn't have to do any editing. This one only works if you can hear it.

If you get the "this video is no longer available" message it means YouTube has simply not fully uploaded it. Give it a few minutes (maybe 60) and try again.

I personally thought it should have been number 4, but number 3 is a good choice.

Maegan's Movie Review

This weekend Brian and I went to see an excellent movie that we recommend to everyone. Amazing Grace is rated PG and covers the Abolitionist movement in late eighteenth century England. The story and characters are fascinating and inspiring and the movement of the film is engaging. The film made me feel as if I had just read a good historical fiction.

Jeff will love this because it focuses on Parliament and the kind of politics he just became enamored with. Abby will love this because a wholesome romance is included and the hero is dashing. Dad would love this because the love interest is a redhead. Kath and BJ will enjoy this even if they still see as few movies as they used to. This one actually is uplifting and inspiring and doesn't feel covered with Hollywood cooties and values that sometimes make other PG films disappointing. I think it is only in select theaters and I don't how long before it goes to DVD.

By the way, this is my first actual posting as you can tell by the lack of pictures or fancy anything. Brian has been ghostwriting on by behalf because everytime I get on the computer a sensor goes off on the kids and they come and attack me. In fact, they have just shown up. Go see this movie, you will not be disappointed! Especially if it means a date night free of the kids:)

B-Day Video

Happy Birthday Katherine. Here is a good video of us making fools of ourselves for your entertainment.

We are the Champions!

Brian's church basketball team won the Bountiful Regional basketball tournament. This was between 8 different stakes. His team (18 to 30 years old) dominated everyone with the exception of the final game which came down to 3 free throws.

Brian's Post Game Comments:

"My strategy was to remember that I am a has been
athlete and that in the odd event I found myself with the basketball to pass it
to the two guys on our team that played college ball. Sometimes I would
forget this simple rule and put up a 'prayful' 3-pointer. Intermittently that
pray was answered, usually it was not.

The greatest part about it was that I got the same T-shirt as the guys on our team who were actually good. Its like a free snow cone."

For those un-hip to shopping, listening to Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes (play bottom on bottom of right margin) makes this experience much more enjoyable.
