Guam will capsize!!!

I don't know if anyone else has heard or seen this, but I thought it was so crazy and funny. To think that this guy helps run our country and gets paid $175,000 a year to do so.

I love watching the Officer as he keeps his cool, I would be on the ground laughing.

This video is like a podcast, so you have to watch past the commentary and then you can see the video of the congressman

So my wife came up to me and said, “Take off my shirt.”

So I took off her shirt.

Then she said, “Take off my skirt.” I took off her skirt.

“Take off my shoes.” I took off her shoes.

“Now my hose, bra, and panties.” I took them off.

Then she looked at me and said, “I don’t want to catch you wearing my things ever again.”

Bathroom pics and Afton crashing

So Afton plays hard and crashes harder - here are a few pics of her crashing as well as some pics of the bathroom

It is finished and who does this look like

I will put pictures up when I get home, but we finally finished our bathroom. It looks OK for a first time remodel - I'm just glad we are not sharing a toilet with two boys under ten who are still learning that it's OK to pee in the water not on the seat and floor - I know that me and my younger brothers never had problems like that.

SO I don't know if it made the news anywhere else that Marie Osmonds son commited suicide last week, but they were showing footage of the funeral (Larkin's didn't do the service) and they interviewed her brother Jimmy Osmond. Does anyone think this looks like someone in our family? I thought it looks like he could be someone in our family's brother - this is all a good thing and I'm wondering how they are related - Tell me if you agree or disagree with who this looks like in our family (I'm not mentioning any names, because I want to see of anyone else sees it)

Hello Everyone

Well I have not put anything on here in a while. I'll see if I can put some pictures together as well.
Not much has changed here and things are going along just fine with not much new. We started to tear out the bathroom in our bedroom to replace it. As of right now everything is pulled out and we are going to put in a new shower hopefully tomorrow and then get ready to tile. everything came out pretty easy, and it's always harder to put back, so we will see how it goes. I hope to have it done by the end of the week, we will see.

Landon is doing pretty good. He loves school and his teacher has gotten him interested in following the Jazz. He knows what nights they play what teams and if they are home or away and who is starting or not, who is injured, etc. When he wakes up he wants to know if the Jazz won last night. It is pretty fun to see him follow something like that. He has been going to Scouts and likes to go to scouts every week.

Carter is doing great as well. He really likes school and has taken to reading. He does really well. I'm sure part of it is due to the fact that he has a late birthday and is a little older than some of the other kids in his class. He likes to spend his spare time in front of the TV, but hopefully as spring starts to roll in he will start to spend some more time outside.

Afton is still too big for her britches. She wants to be in the middle of everything and usually crashes hard at the end of the day. Her vocabulary is increasing every day. I hate to admit, but I am wrapped around her little finger.

Work is work, some busy days, some slow. I put in for dear tags for this fall - we will see what happens as it is done in a lottery type drawing. You get points every year you put in that you don't draw out and it is supposed to help your chances of of drawing every year you don't draw a tag. This is my first year, so I doubt I will draw out this year. We'll see.

Happy New Year

I hope everyone has had a happy holiday. We have done a few fun things - see Nicole's blog about the Jazz game - we had a really fun time with the boys. Work has been sort of interesting. This last week I ran into Bob and Claudia Fisher at a funeral. It was for Bob's Aunt and I had met with the family to make arrangements. The other sort of interesting thing was we had a funeral for a guy that always wore bow ties. His family showed up for the services with a handful of bow ties that they wanted to wear, but no one knew how to time them. It has been at least 10 years since I had tied one of Grandpa Glade's bow ties, but I gave it a go and it only took a couple of tries, but I was able to remember how to tie them. It was neat to remember that and sort of recall Grandpa wearing them.

Afton stayed the entire time in nursery today. We changed times from 9:00 to 11:30 and we were worried as that is right in the middle of Afton's nap. She fell asleep at 10:30 and woke up right before we left. It is fun to see her getting so big, but it is sad at the same time. She likes to be in the middle of everything and is always getting in anything and everything that she can. We have had lots of fun.

Christmas lights at Temple Square

Last night we took a trip down to Temple Square to see the lights. We usually go earlier, but found time to go this year. I thought it would not be too busy as everyone has had a chance to go, but it was really crowded - almost as crowded as the night they turn them on or when they have the First Presidency Devotional. As always they were very pretty and between the lights and the cold puts even a grinch like me in the Christmas mood.

I have been fighting flu like symptoms the last couple of days and it has not been very fun. I hope I am on the tale end of it, but now I have a cough that has caused my ribs to ache from coughing so much.

Our family is getting ready for the big day to come. They are talking about what they want and Santa coming, hopefully they won't be disappointed.

Mom mentioned that she had talked about everyone going up to their new place for our family reunion this year, and I got really excited. Mom had mentioned the June for kids out of school and such , but I think that will need to change with the post on Matthew and Diana's blog. That is a great reason to have to change time windows. Just thinking out loud, but anyone coming from our direction, I was looking at either stopping on the way to or back at Mt. Rushmore. It is about 10 hours west of Farmington, MN and 8 hours from SLC, so almost in the middle of our trip up there. Anyways, hope we can all put our heads together and work out our schedules so that we can spend some time together again.

Well hope everyone has a great Chirstmas, we sent our presents out last Monday, so hopefully Mom and Dad, Michael and Heather and Matthew and Diana should be getting some boxes of have received them.
