oh my goodness!!

Bree's finally on FACEBOOK!!!!

WhoooohoooOO!!!

How is it that this took so long to happen?

Only two people read this blog...three, I guess, including me.

Here's what else I did the other night.  I couldn't help but think of all those tutorials atop grandma's white tiled countertop.  And I still quite like the color on me.

Dear Boring Family,

At the present moment it's 2:34 am in New York and I am successfully avoiding the writing of my final paper entitled, "The Movement of Art Deco as Illustrated Through Film & Fashion".  I check this blog at least three times a day in the hopes of seeing something else besides a reminder of Lindsay's progressing age.  Even I can do the math...that's a lot of visits to this blog since Lindsay's big day.  In the meantime, I have watched Susan Boyle sing, "I Dreamed a Dream" on Youtube about 27 times.  I'll only be unemployed for three more weeks, but I'll probably still watch Susan when I'm feeling bad about myself.  Anywho, here's what else has been going on in Manhattan...

The circus came to town and as they enter Manhattan over the Queesnboro Bridge, it's tradition for the elephants to parade through Herald Square at midnight on their way to Madison Square Garden.  It is the cutest thing EVER!!  Here is a not-so-great video from my camera: 

  

My parents came into town for their anniversary and I totally crashed their party and stayed with them in the hotel every night (they're old anyway, right??  don't answer that).  If there were airline discount olympics, my Dad would be the undisputed gold medal champion for his work with The Roosevelt Hotel for this trip.  Five days, four nights in the anniversary suite (and yes, that does come with custom rosettes made out of peach colored tissues tucked into various surprise locations throughout the room and bathroom....verrry sexy) for three people and he only paid for ONE discounted night!  Daily rotations in and out of JFK while Sydney and Karli spend all your hard earned (read:saved) cash, included.  Here's what I made them...doesn't magnet to a fridge but still worthy.

Yup, you're right!!  That is 48 roses in there!!

There was a pillow fight downtown on Wall Street, also an annual thing, but there was a little bit more rage this year.  This isn't snow.

There was also a California wildfire in the parking lot across the street, but I'll save that story for the family reunion because it has voices to go along with it.

Ok, now back to my expensive education.

Lots of Love,

Karli 

Lindsay turns 60!!!!

hey mom!! happy happy birthday! since we can't be there in person, and i know you don't check your facebook account - where you've received many birthday props, i'm putting one from us up here --



there's also this one -- but we didn't like it as much - but you can choose

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYDNEY LEE!!!!

this post says that it was made on march 2nd, but only because it's on california time.  it's actually 1:30 am on march 3rd here in ny and also i am a really great daughter

While the folks were partying down south...

I was working hard on a film for the San Clemente Singles Ward film festival.

I present to you... FAST SUNDAY!


Watch Fast Sunday in HD.

P.S. The "Oscar Party / Film Festival" was last night, and my film won by a landslide of course. I should have named it Slumdog Millionaire.

I got in!!

To apply for the advertising program at BYU, I submitted this video and an essay.  A lot of people who read this blog helped me come up with the idea for my video so now I'm saying thanks!! I just found I was accepted last Friday! Woot woot

i swear we're getting our christmas cards out...!

this is because I don't have anything that great to say...so just look at these cute kids.

Vegas Christmas

Here the kids are before the could open gifts. Santa brought JJ a new bike. I think his training wheels might just come off before Abby's.

Ok... so we must have had fun and been busy because I didn't take many pictures. JJ did throw up during dinner. That story is on our family blog. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve - We walked down Rhett and Adrianne's street to see the beautiful luminaria. Here's Campbell taking a ride on Uncle Trey's wheelchair.

The "Junk House"

   This is for Kate.  I hope she likes this Junk House.

The Haglund family decided that we would try to spend more time together, and spend less effort on gift giving this Christmas season.  So, we came up with a "Twelve Days of Christmas" activity.  The "Junk House" was day three.  You can read more about the other days and see some exciting photos, on the Haglund websight in a few days. But the short story is....Marshall and Melissa have been really good sports to spend so much time with us!!!!  Christmas is just SO much more fun with a 3 year old.  Twelve Day's...... is a lot of days!!

I've been working away for the past week at this new site, and hired Karli to do the excellent voice over work. Thanks Karli!

It's pretty self explanatory - ChristmasDialer.com

If any of you have or know of young kids who might get a good reaction out of Santa calling, I'd love to get that on video to put up on YouTube.
If you can capture this and send it to me, I'll buy you dinner!
