okay, so obviously I have no idea HOW to put a video from youtube on here . . . so just go to the link and watch these fantastic quints, ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIoSTbPt_PI ) it's amazing how much they look and act alike!

When Josh and Lauren and I had a Glee marathon last weekend I was telling them about this group of 5th graders in New York. They have a talented and dedicated teacher that has taught them to sing and MAN! Can they sing. There are a hundreds of videos of them on YouTube but these some of my favorites:



or go here.

Growing up too fast!

GQ Tanner sporting his new stylin hat and ultra cool
pocket watch. It's hard to believe he's now 12,
a newly ordained Deacon and going to Jr. High.

And then there's Sarah, who at 15 is our adventuresome
and beautiful style setter,eclectic though it may be.



The girls, Halle & Sarah
and the whole gang: Tait
(totally put out about having
to put his Sunday clothes back on),
Garrett, Tanner,
Sar Bear and Halle Kate.

Hereeeeee's Halle! Dancing her way into our hearts. She's so cute, I know Jaci didn't mind getting the grass stains out of her new tights . . . . I hope. whispered 'I love you Jaci.'

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!

happy anniversary to the fabulous couple that spawned a generation of goofballs.












We, the goofballs, love you.
love,
Your Geek Squad

P.S. Josh, you need to add a picture. for posterity.

finally!

Unless something really lame happens, I guess we will be getting out of here in 29 days. Please send good thoughts, big muscles and cardboard boxes. Hopefully we can find a house for us now or a really big cardboard box to stay in until then. YEAH!

Just me and my mom . . .

y Mom and I went to see her brother Ronald
in Washington the 13th - 19th of July.
oi vey (?), what a long drive! We stopped in
Idaho and stayed the 1st night with my old
roomie, Peggy, then arrived at uncle Rons
Tues. evening.
While there, we went to see Moms Aunt Sue
and her son Lewie Maudsley.

This lovely 2 hr. drive did me in and by screeching to an abrupt stop, I was able to take a much closer look at the beautiful flora and fauna and even left the critters a surprise! I am now my uncles favorite niece
because I DIDN'T decorate his car.
We had a great visit and I got to see my cousins that I haven't seen since they were probably 10 and 6. The country is absolutely beautiful - if you don't mind being totally lost all the time. Which I was, being directionally dysfunctional, but with the help of hand drawn maps and lots of phone calls ( thank heavens for cell phones) we were able to return home with only a few minor snafus!
When Adam was little, he heard my uncle do his duck talk, so with any luck, the video will work and you will see the 'original' but uncooperative talking duck.
hummm, guess not! maybe tomorrow.
