So, I finally got it to work. Here’s a lot of Isaac and Maddie footage, and a lot of it is by Isaac…

The internet is a series of tubes!

Some of you may not understand the internet very well. If you are one of those people, here is an explanation of how the internet works by DJ Ted Stevens, a Senator from Alaska.

I (Jenny) was fortunately able to be there, along with Mom, Dad, Kristin, Holly, Mike and all of Rich’s large family. Our sister is now Mrs. Parks, and they are a cute new little family. Welcome to the family Rich.

Malaya eating ice cream out of Grandpa’s bowl

Thank you for the comments.

As much as I wanted to take all the credit for the “Malaya eating ice cream out of Grandpa’s bowl” post…………. I felt really bad for Bri who worked really hard to create my profile (including password – unbelievable) and posted the video under my name but of course he’s at our house using our internet connection and computer so its just like profiding resources for your people to do stuff for you ;) .

Congrats Jen for losing 16 pounds, I had Dennis do the Nutri System diet but the food and thier diet system isnt that good, its like asking somebody who used to eat 10x a day to eat 1x a day. He lost a total of 8 pounds though in a week.

Christmas 2005 Video Compilation

Published November 13th, 2006 by bryan

This is everything– and I mean EVERYTHING– I filmed during my 2005 Christmas vacation in Arizona. I use the term “filmed” loosely. In this case, capture would be a better word, because what I’ve come away with can barely be called video. What a shame on such an auspicious occasion.

It begins with lunch at Jenny’s house after we’ve just arrived. There’s a short interview with Hayley, then some more lunch. (Holly, there’s an easter egg in there for you so you better watch!)

After that, it’s a black hole of really short noisy clips- you’ll get sucked in by the cute kids, but after a while you’ll realize there’s really nothing there.

If you don’t want to see every one of the clips, I recommend at least 51 & 52. Some good times.

Down, down, down.

Congrats to Jenny who has lost 16 pounds since August with a crazy plan that involves eating healthy, and exercising. She chronicles her trials and tribulations at her semi-new blog, Hughes Family Boot Camp.

Some interesting stuff.
