Brian Moves On

Throughout my life i have been excited over many different variations of events, toys, gifts, ideas...etc. As we came home from our temple Christmas lights show my wife mentioned that the pictures could go on the family blog. I thought..hmmm..I really haven't put anything on the blog in about a month. Could the family blog be Brian's next first puppy, heely's, no soda trip, and that is when it hit me. I have found in my life a tendency to get excited about things for a month, week..let's be honest hour. So i present to you with the "Brian's, I'ts not all that" list. PLEASE no additions are needed. I know, there are more. So, please. Talking to you direct family members, please refrain from scuffing my finely polished image that the in-laws seem to believe.

Brian Gets Bored..shocking.

So, I finally have decided to post some pictures of our place. When Crissy left for Phoenix for a week i got extremely bored and decided to paint the apartment.

Fun Sundays

So I was this past weekend I was stuck at home with a cold. Since we teach primary i decided to stay home to better protect my primary students from infection. This created for a nice long relaxing Sunday. All those who know me would agree that I can only relax for a good...let's say 3, maybe 4 minutes before I'm ready to be entertained. After reading and listening to a couple conference talks i turned to drastic measures for entertainment while keeping the sabbath (of course).

Let's face it, stuffing your clothes full of pillow and acting like a ninja...always entertaining.

We also made my favorite cake. Elegant Chocolate Torte. It turned out amazing.
OK, so we halved everything, left the chocolate shavings off, and changed the shape a little, but the taste is still the same.

How about one more Fat Ninja clip.
