Keep 'em Seperated

This is the last one I'll post, I promise. I had to do this one since it features husbands of some of the readers of this blog. It also demonstrates the high brow recreational activities of Scott's time at BYU.

Corned Beef is Freedom: Part 2 (Goatie Man)

I have no words for this one. Scott is the one laughing uproariously at the bad jokes...





I will post some cute pictures of my kids next. I owe that to you after three parts of Corned Beef is Freedom.

Corned Beef is Freedom: Part 1

Here is the next clip from Scott's high school escapades. Fun things to look for in this one:

1. Jason Tranquill debating whether or not to give in to peer pressure.
2. Scott doling out a healthy dose of said peer pressure.
3. Scott and Conrad doing more "scum jumping" (jumping into the filthy canal water). It's a miracle they didn't catch the plague.




Thanks to Conrad for uploading these gems to youtube. Stay tuned for the rest of the clips.

Corned Beef is Freedom: Intro (circa 1991)

A friend of Scott's, Conrad, uploaded these clips from a video Scott and his friends made in high school. Now, before you watch this one, here are some fun things to look for:

1. "Scum Jumping" or, jumping into the Erie Canal, yuck.
2. Scott's creative way of shoveling his parent's driveway.
3. Scott's ice skating youth activity injury.
4. Costumes "borrowed" from the Hill Cumorah Pageant

6 Weeks Old

Jane has done all sorts of exciting things in her first six weeks. She made her first appearance at church (Sacrament meeting only):


She had the first of many bows tied on her head:



She tried out her 3-6 month wardrobe and (surprise, surprise) it fits!


She braved the Rochester subzero temperatures:


And she contemplated the meaning of life while looking very, very cute (and just a little bit fat).

Exhausting, but good work, if you can get it.

Opened lots of presents (even some that weren't mine).


Decorated the Christmas tree.


Went sledding with Dad and some of my cousins.


A successful Christmas!
