OK... I am not feeling the blog thing today... so, I am posting a couple of my FAVORITE videos.
ahhh. seriously, these are yummy.
Kids can be so stinkin' adorable....
just make sure you pause the lovely tunes to the right...
cheers!
yeah!! i love posting pics of my hunky hubby. And I found his box in the basement with all the fun 80's stuff... what a cute kid.
Everyone thinks Brad is a carbon copy of him... what do you think??
Our main breaker went out the other day and we were "powerless" for a day and a half. It really made me think about how much we rely on... well, power. No T.V. no computer. no heat. no cooking. no hot water... it was fun. :/
But! We had some really fun family time. We made a big fort/campfire {we have a real fireplace thank goodness...}and had a fun family home evening. After FHE we were all just sitting on our pile of blankets and I asked the family a fun question.... this is how it went down.
Mom: "do you guys have any mad skills?"
Brad: "yeah mom. I've got mad skills!"
Mom: "what are they, B"
Brad: "I've got mad skills playing limbo."
{insert laughter here.... LIMBO? what 4 year old even knows what limbo is?}
Kendyl: "I've got mad skills too mom."
Mom: "what are they?"
Kendyl: "uh. uh. I can do a goood chicken."
Mom: "oh yeah? Let's see this goood chicken..."
{Kendyl proceeds to cluck like a mad chicken and flap her wings... she's got MAD SKILLS!!}
Mom: "what about you Av?"
Avery: "I don't have skills mom, I'm a princess."
*** I love power outages.... ***
Amanda tagged me... ahhh. I love this stuff. Don't really know why, maybe it's because if forces me to reminisce and write things down... I did one similar to this not to long ago~but, what the hay. We'll do it again :)
HOW OLD IS STEPHEN: 33! old fart.

New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
Yes. I admit it. I am totally a vampire fan. Who woulda thought I would get into a vampire series? yeah. Not me. BUT! I love the Twilight series... and if you haven't joined the obsession... I recommend it. It's a great read...and the official release date for Breaking Dawn (book #4) will be Saturday, August 2, 2008!!
Many may not agree... but, I am TOTALLY an Edward fan. Everyone thinks Bella is an obsessed irrational girl... but, I can totally relate to that obsessed love. I am the same way... (don't judge me.... :) It's how I feel toward Stephen.... ;)
here is a tidbit from New Moon:
"Shoot," I muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then. Edward threw himself at me, flinging me back across the table... I tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with my arms thrown out instinctively to catch my fall, into the jagged shards of glass. I felt the searing, stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside my elbow. Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm—into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires.
other Nifty N's: new socks, Nathan (my little big brother), Nora Jones, kisses on my neck and newborns.
Brad and I went to the store today-just the two of us. It was a hoot. this kid cracks me up everyday....
Mom: "Brad, I had so much fun hanging out with you today.... thanks for being such a good kiddo..."
Brad: "Precisely mom. I had fun too."
Mom: (insert belly laughter here...) "you are a funny bug, B"
Brad: " I know mom. That word makes you laugh every time..."
Stephen was putting on his cowboy boots to shovel snow the other day and Brad walked in...
Brad: "hey dad. You wore those boots when that horse went crazy huh?"
Dad: "yep, these are the same boots..."
Brad: " I wasn't scared that day dad"
Dad: "no? "
Brad: " no dad. I wasn't scared. I was DANG really scared!!"
isn't Kendyl adorable.... she's giving us the "thumbs up..." ;)
