You Know You're A Redneck If....

Instead of hanging tinsel from a tree, this is what you do:



The picture on your Christmas card shows your kids in the loo!

Afternoon at Desert Star

We took in this show and laughed till it hurt.
See how we smile as we eat our dessert.



Then prompted to impress our dear sainted mother
We held up the arch with the help of each other.



But then all the soda we drank through the show -
Finally had us all just wanting to go!!!

No Sugar Blues

Trick or Treat has come and gone.
We ate our sweets and we're feeling blue.
There's really not much else to do.

So we hope you think no wrong
That we post a pic or two.

It's a bird..its a plane..its Cookie Monster?



Check out this donkey and her smile.



Aaaaa.....Medusa....Don't look at her!

Manna on A Stick

For our Ward Talent Show ,
we sung the Corn Dog song by Ryan Shupe.
Then in the middle we added this little something
Sung to Elvis' s Hound Dog, ya'know.

"Ain't want nothin' but a corn dog -
Fry-in' all the time.
Ain't want nothin' but a corn dog -
I get one every time.
Well, if you've never had a corn dog,
Then you ain't no friend of mine!"

Saturday's gig was inspired by this speech Emma wrote in school.
Even though it's not in rhyme, we still think its pretty cool.

"Imagine if every time you ate a corn dog you were being a better American. I have a dream that corn dogs will become the official food of the U.S.A. Imagine how cool it would be to eat what they eat in the White House. Corn dogs are easy to bake, and they taste delicious! They are easy for mothers and fathers with young kids to bake in a short amount of time. The easiest way to cook a corn dog is to pop one of the frozen ones into the microwave. A corn dog doesn't really have corn in it. So if you don't like vegetables, they're the food for you! A corn dog is a hot dog on a stick wrapped in bread. They are good warm, cold, with condiments, or just plain. You don't even have to use dishes! I have a dream that corn dogs will be the official food of this country. Even Uncle Sam likes them!"

Thanks Emma and a huge shout out to Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband.
We think these guys are great. Buy their CDs. They're grand!

Lipsmacker on the Run!

When the shirt fell from the dryer

All covered in chapstick stains,

The hunt was on for the criminal

With beeswax in its veins.

We looked inside the lint trap -

But couldn't find it there.

So Dad issued a warrant:

Oh, Lipsmacker - BEWARE!

We could hear the struggle.

A scream: "Off-i-cer down!"

We ran into the bathroom -

Found the message and this clown.

The stakes had now been raised.

It attacked more than a shirt!

But in the end it proved no match -

For this highly trained expert.

"Life in the trash!" It was sentenced before dawn.

But have you seen his partner - the pesky green cray-on?

Springtime Babies

We've had snow in May before -
But never quite this late.
So, we thought today's the date
To harvest quadra-pus eggs.



The process is quite easy -
A little sewing's all it took.
Don't you want to take a look?
It's the miracle of life!

Mood Swings

Raising four girls one is bound to find
Traces of an insane mind.
Ups and downs - mood swings beyond belief!
Look at them wrong - endure grief.

This morning, I woke to find Liesl turned to stone!



A victim of Medusa's groan!



Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!

Miss Media

Sarah earned her Miss Media patch!
To the back of her vest it will attach.
Yep, I'm jealous too -
Of all the things she gets to do!





Helping out with Forever Green.
Doing her part to keep Earth clean.
Sarah was the leader of the pre-teens.





Being on camera - that's no sweat!
Promoting safety on the internet.

Tales of Spring

Do you have some time to spare

To read of times gone by?

Adventures that we meant to share.

Before the time did fly.

Join us as we strike and sing.

Par-tay and present.

Keeping busy in the spring,

Laughing and content.
