The Best Christmas Card Ever!!!!

 

A few weeks ago, we found these cards laying around the church building! My only response to them was, where can I go to buy these?!!!!

As most of you know by now, I (David) am a fan of tacky Christmas items! This card definitely fits into the tacky category!

So, what do you think? Would you like to receive a poodle Christmas card from the Fox's this year?!!!!

Little Scrubbers.....For All Your Cleaning Needs

I [Kristen] was making dinner the other night when Allyson joined me in the kitchen and declared, "Mom, I made you a little scrubber.

I asked her to clarify. She held up her creation and said, "You use it to scrub things!" I asked how she came up with such an invention. She said, "I just got a cotton ball, made it wet, then put the soap on it."

She proceeded to wander around the house, "cleaning" various surfaces (many of which may not appreciate a hand-soap washing, but I didn't have the heart to stop her).

A few moments later, Daddy entered the room and I asked Ally to share her invention with him. She led him to the bathroom to show him EXACTLY how it is done. He helpfully pointed out that after using the "scrubber," you must rinse off the soapy film. No problem; she just grabbed the hand towel and wiped it across all of the soap left behind. (Just a note, Daddy did not appreciate "his towel" being treated with such disrespect...but I was giggling in the other room.)

Here you will see Ally's picture tutorial, should you wish to make a "Little Scrubber" of your own!

For Fun...E*trade Baby

I know that we Foxes are probably way behind the times, but we saw this commercial this morning and couldn't stop laughing at it. When I looked it up on YouTube I found that they ran these on the Superbowl this year. Too bad we don't watch televised sports!!!! :)

We are working to get our acts together and get a few more posts up. We have plenty of videos and photos, but not enough free time!

Have a great weekend.

Mr. Over-Emotional Worship Leader

I couldn't resist sharing this!

Because He Lives!!!!

I discovered these videos this morning while searching for something else. I am glad I "stumbled" upon them...they were a blessing to me. The lady in these videos, "Rosie Hayes", can really make the saxophone sing! If you love gospel music and the saxophone, you will enjoy these videos. Makes me want to get my horn out and start practicing!!


There are two clips below. The first is just saxophone. She sings and plays in the second!

Do You Use One of These?

Zombo.com

Here is a link to a great site that I found today. It utilized Flash technology, which is something I am trying to learn through the summer months. Perhaps I can design a site this good in the future.

A Good Wife Can Bring Balance To Your Life

I saw this picture at the Way of the Master Radio website and thought it needed to be shared!

Kristen definitely brings balance to my life. I would be lost without her!

Mom Jeans!!!

This is one of Kristen and my all time favorite Saturday Night Live sketches. It is a week too late for Mother's Day, but it is never too late to buy the woman in your life some "Mom Jeans"!

On the Eve of My 32nd Birthday...

I am not excited about entering more deeply into my 30's! I think I am going to adopt the stance that I am only 29 until I start feeling like I am in my 30's!

Tonight, I decided that I would spend a little time looking up my birth year, 1976, on Google, Youtube, and Wikipedia.

I have learned several interesting and useless facts about 1976....

1. I was born while Disco was still alive
2. I was born while Elvis was still alive
3. The Apple Computer company was started
4. The tradename "Microsoft" was registered with the Office of the Secretary of the State of New Mexico
5. Our country celebrated it's Bi-Centennial
6. The first class of women was inducted into the U.S. Naval Academy (My brother, Dan's, alma mater)
7. The Summer Olympics were held in Montreal, Quebec
8. Rocky was released. Yo, Adrian!!!!
9. "Bionic Woman," with Lindsay Wagner, debuted on ABC (This past fall, ABC relaunched the "Bionic Woman")
10. The fashion was bad, and most of the music was worse!

I initially started out to write something profound about life and gaining another year of wisdom, but as you can see, none of that is coming out right now.

All I can say is, "I feel old!" I remember looking at mom and dad's photos and thinking the 50's and 60's looked so old. Looking back at 1976 had that same effect on me tonight. All I can say is, I am thankful I can remember the 80's! It doesn't look like I missed much during my 4 years in the 70's!

These are too cool!

How can you not love disco!

Have a groovy day!!

Funny Video

I can't help but laugh every time I see this video. It kind of reminds me of the way Danny and I were when we were kids. Enjoy.

Your Breath Stinks!

When we had finished eating lunch today, Allyson got into Kristen's purse and pulled out a pack of gum. This was kind of strange because Allyson does not like spearmint or peppermint flavors and we have never allowed her to chew gum.

It turns out that Allyson was not getting the gum out for herself. She turned to Kristen and said, "Take a piece mom, your breath stinks!"

4-year-olds are quite the funny characters!

Dave's Birthday Wish

I just learned that there is a company that has started producing Contrabass Saxophones. It looks like they cost around $25,000 - $30,000. Anyone interested in pitching in to make my birthday wish come true?!!!

Here is a short clip of what the Contrabass Sax sounds like.

For Fun...The Manualist

Try and watch this video without cracking a smile! A friend of mine introduced me to these videos on Youtube, and I felt that they HAD to be shared....

Enjoy.

Bohemian Rhapsody

All of you who are bored, this would be a great hobby to get into. He has a tutorial video on Youtube to get you started!!

Natalie's First Gig...

On Tuesday, Natalie got her first job! One of the nurses needed a "real" baby for a demonstration in a parenting class the hospital was offering, and we agreed to let them use Natalie in the class. The nurse was going to be demonstrating the proper way to bathe a newborn.

Before the actual bathing took place the nurse spoke for about 10 minutes. During this time, Natalie was laying in her hospital crib that we wheeled her into the class in. I was sitting right beside her, and I heard her let two explosive noises out of her butt. They came out with so much force that you could see her little body move. I knew the nurse was going to be in trouble when she undressed Natalie.

I had checked Natalie right before we took her to the class, for fear of her having a dirty diaper and Kristen and I looking like neglectful parents.

When the nurse got down to the diaper during the demo, she was even taken off guard by the amount of mess! Natalie had blown out her diaper and the mess was going up her back and down her legs!

All I could think was, "That's my GIRL!!!!!" :)

It seems that Natalie wanted to go above and beyond and provide an extra credit learning opportunity for all of the parents to be in the room.

What fun kids are!!!

For Fun...Merry Tossmas!

If you are like me, you have taken notice of the fact that many businesses are going out of their way to exclude the word Christmas from their "Holiday" ads this year. Are you bothered by this?

I learned about the following video clip while listening to Todd Friel on the Way of the Master Radio Show and found it humorous and disturbing at the same time.
