Our favorite new blog...

Agi and I stumbled onto a new "fake" blog that is hilarious. IF you've ever encountered newlyweds at BYU, than this blog is for you... Because Seriously, we are So Blessed....

Its a worthwhile investment of time on a lazy Saturday afternoon, to read the whole thing, from first post to present. IF you aren't laughing hysterically after two minutes, then you don't have a funny bone.

The posted comments alone are also worth the read...

My only regret is that I didn't think of it first...

Best. Advert. Ever.

Poor Kirby Heyborne can't catch a break. Aghast Mormons everywhere turned on him for showing up in the background of a Miller Lite commercial. And now his positively awesome new Snickers commercial gets yanked in the UK for being allegedly homophobic. Say Whaaattt?? I guess I had no idea all speed-walkers were gay until they protested this video and got Snickers to pull it... Too bad, since Mr. T hasn't been in anything this good or funny since the A-Team. I could imagine a whole series of these commercials...

I totally want a Snickers Gatling Gun now.

GET SOME NUTS! :-)

To all those who would use Germany's adoration of Obama as a reason to make him president....

...don't forget, Germans also love DAVID HASSELHOFF!



I 'specially love the high leg kicks, tight jeans, and the coup de grace... KITT THE TALKING CAMARO, LIVE ONSTAGE! Bear in mind this video is only a few years old... :-)

Like I said, lets not get all hasty in judging German adoration of someone as worthy of our attention just yet :-)

the Kitty post....A sop to my children...

Just a quicky post. After enduring 3 hours of caterwauling from my whiny kids (this following the posting of their new & improved job charts) I decided to give in to a long-standing demand of theirs and post a few pics of the them with their brand new kitten. SO I suppose I am 40 years early. I didn't expect to begin telling funny "cat stories" until I was half senile.

I'll try to keep it to captions and pics. Here goes...


Here's Ali's portrait of the new kitty "Cosmo".



Wide angle view of the little cutie. Just give her 6 months. I'll be ready to dump her in the woods by then... :-)



Livid "I HATE YOU!" kitty. Immediately following flea-dip shampooing.



Pic of our other cat. No longer cute. Has perpetual serial killer look about her. This is her "I will murder you in your sleep" face.



Andrew's contribution to the group. This is from "Kitty-toss Olympics on Sunday afternoon".



And this is Aidan's "Just for the Ladies" pose. Awwww.

I especially liked Barack & the unicorn...

The little Palmer soldier...

As a by-product of cleaning out & moving our storage unit, we came across my old duffel bag of army gear. Andrew's wildest dreams were thus fulfilled. He's obsessed with going to an service academy or at least BYU ROTC and then joining the Special Forces. You can imagine how happy he was to be able to parade around the house for three days kitted out in my old gear...


I don't know what is more depressing--that Andrew can now fit into BDU's I wore only 5 years ago, or the the fact that five years ago I ACTUALLY COULD FIT INTO THESE BDU's!

I think I am off to do a few more pushups now :-) ...

Aidan's a deacon!

Oh yeah--in my haste to bore the world with my insomnia-based garage story, I left out the best part of the weekend... Yesterday Aidan received the priesthood and was ordained a deacon. I'm proud of him. He's a good young man, with a firm conviction of what's right, and a great example for everyone he comes in contact with. I can even overlook the spider-on-Ali's-bed hijinks.

He's excited to finally have the Aaronic Priesthood, and is looking forward to passing the sacrament for the first time next week.
