Some random thoughts from Scott ...

• It seems like I haven't posted for a while - but it's not for a lack of trying. Several times during the past 4-5 days, I've tried to post a minute-long video of a Church commercial that's really clever. Even though it's well within the 100MB limit for video posts (only 4-plus MB), it would only play the first 8-10 seconds and then freeze up. So, instead, here's the link to the YouTube video - enjoy. I don't know what is more hilarious - the concise, choice dialogue or the use of hip-waders and wrapping-paper tubes.
• When you watch the above-linked video, can you tell the setting of the swordfights? Hint, these are not the Pirates of the Caribbean, but the Pirates of the Provo. If you're really sharp, you may see backgrounds similar to photo shoots for a) Tyrel and Jenna's engagement photos, b) Laura's bridal photos and c) Breanna's senior photos.
• Want a great read? Check out Breanna's "Happy Burn Day" post on her blog.
• I've joined Facebook (to quote a family-favorite VeggieTale music video: "I can be your friend"). I'll spend a minute or two a couple of times a day to scan the postings and messages. I find it a little too impersonal -- I can only imagine what Twitter is like (don't know if I'm going there). I'll keep the Facebook account for awhile, but I prefer the privacy of emails and the lengthier, meatier posts on a personal blog (like the family Blogspot pages).

Baby Braden

So, we helped Aaron and Michelle for a while Saturday and ended up taking some of their extra "stuff" to DI afterwards.  Well, there is a new policy that DI will not take baby items that they cannot wash...like this cute baby floor toy.  

I asked Michelle about it and she said we could take it to Jenna and Ty if it will fit into a suitcase.  We were trying to figure out what it does...it plays music and has lights and is just cute.  I dared Braden to climb inside and it was pretty funny!  

Maybe Jenna will have a bouncing baby boy like this one!!!

P.S It is snowing like crazy!!!  On my poor little crocuses!!!
