So we decided to give easter a second chance this year, personally i think we should do that for every holiday, especially christmas, it would go something like this.
Ashley: i didn't get what i wanted for christmas again!!
Ben: I like none of them the best!!!
Kaitlin: I have the most presents i don't know if i can open them all!
Robbie: I wonder when dinner is???
Mom: It's ok, remember easter, we'll just have it again next week, if we can re ressurect the savior, he can definitely be born again!!
Dad: as long as i can get some more gun stuff it'll be cool!
Brandi: hey kids lets go play with all the toys and let the grown ups debate whether it's ok to have two christmases!!
Roger: Two Christmases? why not three?
Chris Nelson: I'm down for that, as long as it's mexican style!!
Rob: Did someone say tamales?
Karissa: .....???????.......(confused look on face, trying to look cute)
Blaze: ruff ruff woof woof, lick, scratch, sniff butt!
Mom: lets have pizza!
Dad: i'll make my own food!
Ethan: boom boom pow?
Ali: candy? im a candy pincess!!
little ben: fart, little poop, burp, bigger poop.
Moral of the story....
Little ben is the only one that has any sense in this family.

Easter 2010
I once said i never understood this whole blog thing, if anyone ever wanted my oppinion they could come and ask me for it. I suppose though this is an ok alternative to having to sit down with a journal and pen to record my life/feelings/mishaps, and what not. It always seems to be conference weekend that i get the guilty feelings for not following the prophets counsel to keep a journal so i guess this is my way to ease my conscience.
In the past year and then some i've learned what it means to be married, now when i say that i'm not making any pretentions about knowing how to be married, i just know that being married means i'm not nearly as cool/tough/easygoing/or any number of things that ones ego would convince him of while he is single and isn't subject to a females 24 hour scrutiny. I've learned i have many shortcomings and fewer redeeming qualities than i was once under the impression of having. After having made these observations however i'm grateful for the clarity with which my wife see's myself for now i don't have to live up to my misconcieved potential. I just have to live up to hers. According to my wife i never do the laundry, never clean the dishes, never vacuum, and i always leave the seat up. Now those are some qualities i can perpetuate!
Other than my wifes observations i've made some personal observations, it seems that marriage comes with alot more baggage than i would have imagined, about 50 lbs of baggage located at or near my midsection. It's crazy how one day i was a lithe young man and almost over night i was a baby baluga, i say a baluga for the obvious whale reference but also because in this chubby condition my skin aint seeing much sun either. i guess a little of my pride/vanity has survived the scrutiny of my wife. more later.....
