Avoidance

I have MASSIVE amounts of cleaning to do, so...

Just like my entry on my classy food preferences, now let me praise my favorite stupid movies.

1. Zoolander: Being brain-washed to kill the Malaysian Prime Minister, Mugato, played by Will Farrell: "Hey there Derek. My name is Little Cletus. I'm just a regular kid who wants you to know the real truth about child labor laws. They're silly and outdated." "and iron smelts! Yippee! Hooray!" "Obey my dog!"

2. Nacho Libre: Upon being seen in his quarters at the monastery as he dresses for his secret life as a luchador (wrestler). "Chancho. When you are a man... sometimes... you wear stretchy pants ... in your room... is for fun."

In response to Nacho's accusation that they never win because his wrestling partner only believes in science, (instead of God) "We never win because you are fat."

Trying to impress the new, piously beautiful nun: "They think I don't know a buttload of crap about the Gospel but I dooo."



3. What's Up Doc: Way too many to pick the funniest, but here goes:
"Don't shoot me, I'm part Italian!"
"Don't you dare strike that brave, unbalanced woman!"
"Well, there's not much to see. We're inside a Chinese dragon."
Judge and Bailiff
"Order in the court!"
"Order in the court!"
"Quiet!"
"Quiet!"
"You too!"
"Me too!"

Yes, I like Jane Austen movies and Life is Beautiful and other good and intelligent shows. But, I really like Nacho Libre, too.

P.S.

Go to Eliza B's blog and look for the most recent picture of Annika. Its pretty funny.

More pictures, with more to come

Sorry I've been delinquent. I can only blame the new baby thing, the houseguests thing and the travel thing.
We had John's cousin Elizabeth and her husband Dave here for Easter and really enjoyed our weekend with them. They were both great with the kids and the kids LOVED them. Thanks for coming guys!
We blessed Jacob on the 26th of April and were blessed with a deluge of visitors. John's dad Greg and brother Peter flew up from Utah, my dad flew in from New York and my sister Michelle and her gang came down from Seattle. Annika was in HEAVEN with all the attention and gave one long performance for her adoring fans. (She, however, wasn't always heaven.)
This week I went up to Seattle with the kids and had a great time watching Annika "jump like Tigger? Jump like Tigger? Jump like TIgger!" She NEVER tired of the trampoline and to my dismay, woke up from her nap asking for the trampoline. Well, we don't have one so I tried jumping around the house with her but she wasn't fooled.
We've actually been researching trampolines and are planning to buy one in the near future.
Jacob is growing fast and already weighs 14lbs. He really is a beautiful child and he smiles and laughs happily. Except if he's hungry or in need of a new diaper.
Life is good and we love all of you! Here are some pictures that are a little old and I'll get the newer one posted soon.
