  • Video of the Week

    This week’s “Video of the Week” is an oldy but goody. This is another news “report”, with the reporter participating in some grape-stomping. I laugh myself sick everytime I see it. The hilarity starts around the 0:50 mark.

  • Signs you’ve been watching too much Food Network…

    Food NetworkA few months ago, Corinne came up to me and said, “I’m Rachel Ray, and I make thirty minute meals. That means, in the time it takes…” If you’ve ever watched Rachel Ray’s show on the Food Network, you’ll know that’s word-for-word the intro. She would say this at random times for weeks.

    Last week, while she was saying her night prayers she was thankful that she could watch “Rachel Ray and Sandra Lee.”

    Greta mentioned the other day that Corinne has been putting on a cooking show for no one in particular in the toy room. We hope to get it on video eventually.

    Finally, today at church, Corinne apparently made “lunch” for everyone in nursery. From what we heard, she laid out quite the spread.

    Maybe it’s time we cut back a little on the Food Network.

  • It’s summertime!

    Summertime!
    It’s been a while since we’ve posted a picture update, so here are a bunch of new pictures.

    First off, I promised a while back shots of our new table. Here they are, with the old table thrown in for comparison:

    A few of Mason and Corinne:

    The girls out in Utah made some snazzy accessories for Corinne and Mason. Corinne got a Princess Apron, which she loves and Mason is jamming in his new Superman costume. Check them out:

  • In Case of Fire

    Fire!Today while we were cleaning up the basement, I decided it’d be a good time to test the fire alarms. The one in the basement makes an awfully loud and unpleasant sound, which startled Corinne. Greta and I figured this would be a good time to talk about what to do if the fire alarms were to go off. We explained to Corinne that she should try to find us and we could all get out of the house safely. Then we’d call the firemen.

    This seemed to satisfy her, so we asked her to repeat what we should do if the fire alarms go off. She replied that, “we should get out of the house. Then we call God. And he’ll call the firemen to come to our house.”

    Indeed, that’s certainly a good plan.

  • Updates coming

    I know I haven’t been diligent in keeping the site updated, for which I apologize. I still have some enhancements I’d like to make to the site, which are coming soon. I also have some new pictures to post, which are also on their way. In the meantime, I thought a little video from YouTube would bring a smile to your face.

    It’s a news clip of a report from a field where soldiers are burning huge piles of cocao leaves and marijuana leaves. The reporter get’s high in a matter of seconds. He gets really loopy. It’s quite funny:
