Brandon's MBA Band

So I formed this little cover band with some good friends of mine here at school. We're all first-year MBA students, and we all like to rock. Here's a short clip of us playing at the MBA talent show. Yeah, that's the level we're at...talent shows. But we're playing a couple of other MBA events in the next month or so. Who knows, if the whole corporate thing doesn't work out, maybe we'll take this act on the road.

The Roof is on Fire!

Ok, not really.  But our apartment building got evacuated this morning because of a natural gas leak.  Public safety officials were concerned about the gas igniting, so they got everybody out.  Lacy and Elly were taken to a Red Cross shelter along with the rest of the residents who were evacuated.  They're eating free McDonald's as I write.

Everyone is safe.  The city is working on locating and repairing the leak right now, but we're not sure if we'll be able to go home tonight.  Good times.  

Check out the story on KSL.com.

*Update:

We're home.  Everything's cool.  They fixed the leak.

Some Treats....

"The Chicken Dance"



This one I found this morning and I couldn't resist. It's from March of last year, Elly was 15 months old. Sorry about the wind.

Christmas Pictures

We had a fantastic Christmas. We spent time with both Brandon's family in California and mine here in Salt Lake. Both families were a lot of fun. I didn't take any still pictures in California- only tons of videos. I'll post the videos next time. Here is a little peek into our Salt Lake Christmas:


This is what my talented sister, Madelyn, taught me to do:

It's going to be a scarf.

This is how she taught my nieces, Emma (10) and Lily (6) to knit, too:





This is what we did in my mom and dad's back yard:

Emma, Lily, Elly, David and Dan at the bottom.













This is what Jacob looked like the whole time we were out there, mostly:






This is what we did after sledding:

Elly absolutely loved the hot tub! She didn't want to get out. She didn't want anyone to hold her, either. She thought she could just swim around on her own.


This is a picture of the oldest Fowles cousin and the youngest:



This is...three sisters:


This is Elly on Christmas morning in her Christmas jammies with her fake smile:
