Being sick is NOT fun. However, it instills much greater empathy for others who are ailing. I just can’t seem to kick this flu/sinus-infection bug I’ve had for 1.5 weeks.
Happiness is found in enjoying life’s simple pleasures. It was Anna’s week to pick the FHE treat; she picked cough drops (Lemon Ricola to be exact).
Getting older can be fun. Birthdays are an opportunity to celebrate life and friendships. We had a house full of 25+ people to eat Carmen's amazing German Chocolate Cake and celebrate my 35th (which is actually tomorrow).
Brazilian Jazz makes for the best party music. Put on some Walter Wanderley or some Antonio Carlos Jobim and you’re good to go.
What goes around comes around. Yes, I may have been a nightmare student to my Seminary teachers while growing up…so, now I’ve been called to be an Early Morning Seminary Teacher. Actually, the kids are much more mature that I was at their age. So far I’m loving every moment of it (except for the 5AM alarm of course).
Being a sportsfan is nothing but a heartache. Championships are rare, so most seasons end with a loss. The Seahawks flamed out in the playoffs again, but it was actually fun to watch that crazy Brett Favre work his magic.
Goals are good. I finally got mine for 2008 on paper. Watch out, it’s going to be a great year for me.
(Here are some random pictures of the girls this week for your viewing pleasure.)

Happy Birthday...hope it's a good one...minus the Ricola drops!
So bummed we missed your birthday party! But I dont think you would have enjoyed our kids throwing up all over your house ;)
I totally dig Liv's shades!!
Just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday! I'm sorry we missed Carmen's fabulous cake -- Oh, you too of course. You've got a great wife who spoils you! But I'm sure you deserve it.
I ran across your blog while surfing a friend's blog. I was reading about your sinus infection. I saw something weird on Oprah that I actually think might help. It is called a Neti Pot. http://www.sinucleanse.com/netipotlanding.htm?source=overture&group=neti
Dr. Oz showed how to use this on the Oprah show. I actually think I might try one of these some day. Might help your sinus infection too! ;)
Jeremy Jensen! Found your blog on Nate and Amys! Happy Birthday...I still remember the day your dad and brothers put you in the trunk of the car and drove you home from Stake Conference! LOL! I think you were 9 or 10. Your family is darling! How fun to see you now! You are great!
