Jason has seen the twiLIGHT!

It is true. Last Saturday night Jason went with some of his football coaching buddies and saw the movie Twilight! And he LOVED it!!! Well...he said it wasn't as bad as he thought it was going to be. But he did say it had a good story and could have been a good movie if it didn't have so much cheese. What is to be learned from this? Never say never. (I guess I should mention that the wives of all the guys were there too. But is sounded much better saying that just the guys went.) Have I gone too far posting this?

Jason’s rebuttal:

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Let’s not get carried away with half truths on an issue that could jeopardize my man card. Yes, I did see Twilight and yes I said “it was not as bad as expected”, but I did not say it had a good story and I did not enjoy it. Frankly, the whole thing was disturbing. Vampires with excessive white powder and lipstick who live in a multi-million dollar mansion, drive luxury cars and move around the forest like flying squirrels is a little too freakish for me. Also, as a general rule, I don’t hang around with people whose every instinct is to kill me so I had a hard time understanding the premise of the movie. Overall, I left the movie feeling like I had just bathed in cheese whiz, and that was the best part. From young girls behind us crying to watching the Big 12 Conference championship on my phone, it was an unforgettable experience. Can I have my eight dollars back?

Happy Birthday Owen!

Owen just celebrated his 3rd birthday last week. He is growing up so fast, also. He's my first child to be completely potty trained before their 3rd birthday. Owen loves balloons, but usually lets go of the string outside and gets upset when the balloon flies up through the air, so he wanted to have a balloon cake this year. We decided to get him a real bike with training wheels for his birthday. He has a lot to work on, his 2 older brothers could ride their bikes without training wheels when they were 3. Ryan actually learned a couple weeks before he was 3. Owen also likes cars and trains, so Grandma got him some more tracks for his GeoTrax train. He had a great birthday.

Happy Birthday Zach!

Zach celebrated his 9th birthday just over a week ago. (I would have posted sooner but I thought I was locked out of the blog. I wasn't.) Zach got to celebrate his birthday over the weekend. First he had a late night with a couple of friends. He wanted to go bowling because he had to miss Ryan's birthday bowling night because of football. Then on Saturday, which was his actual birthday, we went out to dinner. Zach was in the mood for ribs, so we went to Famous Dave's. Not as good as Jason's BBQ, but not bad. Then on Sunday he got to celebrate with family. Zach is about all things Bingham HS, so he asked for a Bingham Miners cake this year. Much easier, and less time consuming than the guitar. I can't believe my first baby is 9 yrs old. It's amazing how fast they grow up.

Laura has gone too far!

Hello everyone, this is Jason. To provide an example of my longstanding patience and tolerance I have posted the photo above. To celebrate the opening of Twilight, Laura decided to get a temporary tattoo (or bumper sticker for those who are familiar with white trash vernacular) of the name Edward. Normally, I patiently endure Laura’s erratic behavior, but I have decided to take action since the Twilight obsession has gone too far this time. Regretfully, I have decided to hack into the blog, change the password and post this message. This information (and possibly more) will remain on the blog until Laura has done ten nice things for me. If any of you have ideas for something Laura can do nice, please be sure to share.
