IF YOU ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF RAISING CHILDREN, BE AWARE. THE TINY FINGERPRINTS THAT SHOW UP ON ALMOST EVERY NEWLY CLEANED SURFACE, THE TOYS SCATTERED AROUND THE HOUSE, THE PILES AND PILES OF LAUNDRY LYING AROUND TO BE TACKLED, WILL DISAPPEAR ALL TOO SOON. AND, YOU WILL, TO YOUR SURPRISE, MISS THEM PROFOUNDLY. THOMAS S. MONSON

Video Blog

Again, I am clearing out my video card, and wanted to share a couple of well worth your time videos. (Not really, but I can give you a cheat, and tell you at which point it is worth your time to watch.)

The first one is of Nora's first soccer game. Well, second soccer game. Her first game, I didn't have my act together, and I forgot the camera, and her water bottle, and almost forgot her... but we made it there, and to our surprise, it is a very laid back environment. As you can tell. I will warn you, usually when I am recording something, I have a baby crawling on me, or I am more into what I am recording then the quality of the camera. Another warning... I yell a lot. It is obnoxious, and ear piercing. For this video, Nora is in the blue jersey, #3. The first few minutes are not too exciting, neither are the last few minutes, but there is a cute moment around 4 and a half minutes into it, where Nora looks at me, has her tongue out, and has the cutest grin. You'll also notice there is a police officer observing the game. I have no idea weather she is a parent, visiting for a restraining order requirement, or what she is doing there.

This second video is of Smith playing with a pop-up toy. He was trying to get one door closed for a while, and it was really frusterating him. So I tried to get is recorded... and he of course felt like we were paying attention to him, so he was very pleasing. Nora tried to help me record, and Smith play... he was naked! Yes, after I feed Smith dinner, and before he goes to bed, he gets to play naked. He loves it, and I don't care. Again, poor visual quality, and my awful nagging voice.

For family home evening, Nora asked us to "recreate" the story of "US". So Joel did just that. It was so cute. I wish I would have recorded the entire thing, but I just got the tail end of it. And it was in 2 parts 3 parts. WARNINGS again...

COMING... SOON...
