This is a pretty awesome video. I think it would make a great primary song....I guess they would have to keep updating it as time goes on!

I took this picture the other day to add to the collection of photos I have of Chandler falling asleep in strange places and positions. Last year while we were staying at a beachouse with extended family he fell asleep in his barbecued chicken wings and baked beans. My wife says he get's this from me. Most of the time if we start a movie in the evening I'll be asleep less than half way into it. When my head hits the pillow I'm out in 5 minutes or less. In addition I used to be able to get by with 5 hours of sleep. These days I need at least 7 if not 8 hours of sleep to make it through my day. How much sleep do you need to get by?

What do you get when you put 25 kids into a warehouse filled with inflatable bouncers and other toys?


We had Makenzie's birthday party the other day at a place here in town called "Jump Palace"



The kids had a great time sliding down the giant slides and running through the huge obstacle courses that they have set up.

We took a trip to Universal Studios a couple weeks ago with some friends. We'd only been there one other time and it was before the kids were born. We had a lot of fun and it wasn't very crowded. The kids really loved the tram ride you take around the back lot were they make a lot of the Hollywood movies. We took lots of photos of the kids with characters & rode a lot of rides. I love taking the kids to these types of places because it really opens there world and gets their creative juices flowing. At these types of places they see that anything is possible. That and it gives me an excuse to act like a kid. So to sum up our experience I would recommend Universal Studios to anyone looking for a good time. As an added bonus if you by a one day pass right now you can get in the rest of 2008 for free so we will be back their soon enough on an upcoming weekend.

It isn't our normal practice to visit the beach in March, but we had some friends visiting from Utah and their son hadn't seen the ocean yet. We had a good time chasing the waves as they rolled back into the ocean. We took some pictures, played football and frisbee. Truth be told it wasn't that cold but I definitely wasn't going in even with my wet suit. The beach is one of our favorite places to go during the summer. It's also were I proposed to my wife 8 years ago this May. Right next to the Santa Monica Pier. It's not that far from the Los Angeles Temple as well. My least favorite part about a beach trip has to be vacuuming out all the sand the next day! We have almost moved to Arizona a couple times and both times it almost happen I've thought about how I would miss the beach. Right now we are about an hour away and sometimes we often go on a spur of the moment decision. That wouldn't happen if we were a state away.
