crimson tide

We made it to Alabama. Cross-country driving, Chevy Chase style. We were racing cross country with the Smiths. I think we won. We had pit-stops in Albuquerque and Little Rock, and boring scenery in New Mexico. At least mix in some cacti like Arizona does.


Marie has been eating a lot. I think she has just hit the stage where all she'll do is eat. I think it coincided with us finally giving her food. Crazy how that works. In this picture she's showing off her handlebar-applesauce moustache.

Most embarrassing Mormon? Harry Reid or Julie from Real World? Talk amongst yourselves.

Marie has a nice eyes-glazed-over look that says "I just ate a lot of food, but I'm pretty sure I still want more." Eat on, Marie. Eat on.

Glad you've arrived in Ale-bama safely!

Props to you for driving! I refuse to drive anywhere more than four hours away with Elizabeth. Even then it has to be at night so she sleeps the entire trip.

Harry Reid is way more embarrassing than Julie, mainly because I'm not 100% sure who she is. Probably that one girl from BYU. Remember when Harry Reid declared the Iraq war lost? Plus, just barely when he said that they wouldn't seat the senator appointed from Illinois but now they will. Yes, he's definitely more embarrassing.

That is one cute baby!

And a sure-fire way to tell if your kids are truly cute is when their faces are covered with food and other goo and people still adore them.

Julie is embarrassing and Harry Reid is just plain vile. That man is eeeeevilllll.

Marie has gorgeous eyes! Hailey loves food too. She would eat herself sick if I'd let her, I think they could be best friends.

My favorite Harry Reid good one is how he said Wilkinson should have pushed off conservative ideas while president of BYU. That "conservative" idea was how he was against communism.

Yes Matt, it was mainly the back-to-back contradictory press conferences that Harry Reid had on seating Burris that again highlighted how embarrassing he is to me. Somehow he is able to not acknowledging the abrupt switcharoo, and just making sure people know he's not racist. Yes, he's sure taking us places.

So cute.
I always wonder if the little spoonful I slurp from the sides of the mouth taste better the second time?
Hmmm.
I need to meet you...
I don't recall meeting you in person?
Kiley

I have to go with Julie. She made it seem like every Mormon BYU student was trained to be an ignorant, intolerant bigot. Like being dumb is a tenant of our religion or something. It makes me mad just thinking about her. So yeah, she gets my vote. Fun Fact: She actually lived at King Henry the same time we all did.

I check this blog to make sure Marie is still gorgeous. Yep! She is!

I nominate that author of "Twilight" (Stephanie Meyer?). She's pretty embarrassing. Also John C. Bennett. Pretty embarrassing mormon right there.
