If You Are Bored

If you are bored sometime you could go and check out this short little film clip that Scooter is in. BYU asked him to be in it and they paid him like a couple hundred bucks for one night of work so that was cool. I think he is adorable and does a great job. It was fun seeing how something like this comes together because neither of us has ever done any acting or filming before. The other people that are in it get kinda cheesy after he leaves, but I am still proud of him so I thought I would share. They filmed this like a year ago, but I was thinking about it today and thought I would give everyone the link. He would be super embaressed if he knew this was on here, but what the heck! he never comes on our blog - in fact, I don't think he would know how to look at it even if he wanted to! Oh, the advantages of being the sole blogger for our family

The Great Outdoors

And here are the promised hiking pictures. We took a fun hike near Leeds over Thanksgiving.

We couldn't help but notice this poor tree's resemblance to a dragon. We named it and then took a ride!

My mom and dad are so cute (and lucky for all of us that were with them got too hot and had to remove their matching sweatshirts! I swear that at some point my mom told us to never let her dress matching with my dad, but now we can't convince them otherwise. Good thing that it is just these Dr. Seuss sweatshirts that they hardly ever wear!).

We couldn't resist... But I must say that Rachelle looks like her cheerleading days have still not fully been forgotten. (Which is OK with me since she was a darling cheerleader.)

Some people like the outdoors more than others... (Andrea, I am sure you can picture the few minutes leading up to this. Hopefully, it makes you smile and probably laugh.)

Here is my wonderful husband enjoying the sun. Isn't he handsome!? We had a great time and it was fun to be able to have nice enough weather to go hiking at the end of Novemeber. I love St. George!

More Thanksgiving Fun!

Well... Scooter is off on another medical school interview, so I thought I would take this chance to post about more of our Thanksgiving adventures. My mom made an adorable new Santa Christmas tree highlighted along with the Thanksgiving table in this picture. Darling! I wish I could be as creative, but alas! I am a nerdy science type... and so is Scooter.... so our kids are doomed...

Scooter told my dad not to bother trying to remove the meat from the leg and put it on the platter. He wanted to do it the "manly" way and eat it right off the bone. Notice how my dad looks like he wishes that this had been his plan as well... P.S. This was the year that we discovered that the national show-dog championships (I'm sure that's not the technical term, but you know what I mean, right?) were on Thanksgiving. Has anyone ever seen the movie "Best In Show"? If you haven't you are really missing out! Anyway, I have a cold and just took some NyQuil, which is really starting to work, so i better sign-off and go to bed before I start writing really weird stuff. More on our Thanksgiving adventures to come!
