Why Blogging is Better Than Keeping a Journal

Hey out there!

For my Public Speaking Class (the coolest class ever) I have to give a persuasive speech and I've chosen to give it on why blogging is better than keeping a journal. If you could help me out by letting me know why you think blogging is better than writting in a journal I'd much appreciate it. Thanks!

Oh So Sweet

A video of Bronson

Missing Their Dad

We made this video for Chad who is New York and we tried to txt it to him but his phone wouldn't open it so I hurried and posted it here for him to look at. It's just a quick video of some boys who really miss their dad.

Watch Out Politicans!

My Cute Nephew

Brennen is so much fun now a days. He can acutally tell you what he wants and although he is terrified of me whenever I try to hold him I still think he's cute. Here are some of my favorite pictures I have of him.

Bronson's New Toy

Julie got this new toy for Bronson and I thought it was WAY cool. It has a horn and a rear view mirrior. I think the older boys were more exicted at first than Bronson was (especailly Brittan).

Ode to Brayden

Here are some cute pictures I found of Brayden. He's the 2nd oldest (12) of the five boys.

My Cute Friend

Last night I watched an old friend of mine on the Next Food Network Star. Her name is Kelsey Nixon. She's pretty much amazing. She is a definate over-achiever. I'm amazed at all she's done in such a little time. I wish I could be more like her. She was a student body officer all through jr. high and high school, never got below a 4.0...ya know that kind of thing. Well, I just think she's so cute and I wish her the best.

Check her out Sunday on the Food Network Channel at 8:00pm.

Go Kelsey!

A Weekend Away

This weekend Les and I went with our friends Johnny & Christy to the Zermatt Hotel in Midway. Our friends had a buy one room get a room free coupon and so it was just over night but it's this really fun hotel/resort. Everything there has a Switzerland feel. The workers are even decked out. I wish I had a picture of them but I don't. I think the first people to settle Midway were from there so its a big thing in that city. They even have Swiss days, anywho, the hotel was gorgeous. I thought I'd post some pictures.

Outside of the hotel rings the sounds of Switzerland. The music was very upbeat (lots of accordians) and if I knew how to do a traditional Switzerland dance I would have.

This is probably one of the nicer hotels that I've been to. They have everything. They have this really could Wellness Center that had a steam room that was so cool. It's like a grato (spelling?)

Here's a picture of their "relaxtion room". You can just go hang out and sit by the fire.

Here's a picture of our room. It was really nice EXCEPT that they put Les and I in an ajoining room (and not connected to our friends I might add). We could hear everything that was going on in the room next to ours. The door allowed every sound to get through and lucky us the people in that room had like 3 or 4 kids who yelled and screamed the whole time we were in our room. Then during the night I think I got woken up 5 or 6 times by a baby crying and the parents didn't seem to concerned they just let it cry. I timed it once and the baby cried constantly for 25 mins. Needless to say, I wasn't very relaxed after our weekend get away.

Sunday morning Les, Johnny & Christy went golfing while I just headed home. I'm not down with golfing (cuz i suck) and I didn't feel like hanging out in a golf cart all day in 90 degree weather. Overall, it was a fun weekend. I love getting together with our friends but I could have done without the screaming baby. I went to get away from children but they just seem to follow me wherever I go!
