Malaysia Bound

This kid is going on a mission. 

And this is what he had to say about it. From the pulpit. 

"Back with Ammon and the sons of Mosiah they had panthers and it was more sketchy. They had to take bows and arrows for food and all I have to take is my ATM card."

Classic Ian. He's always been full of one liners and funny phrases... that he says with all sincerity. The other day he caught a quail and a rabbit and then gutted them in front of our three year old nephew.

Asher

"Look Asher, these are the bunny's lungs," Ian said. Asher responded by singing a song about Peter Cottontail.

Then my family roasted rabbit and quail for dinner.

Anyway, Ian's hitting up the MTC Wednesday morning. I do and I don't want him to go! Dilemmas.   

For Bob

Some unsolicited advice: If your cleaning routine (or whatever other routine you have) needs some pep, try L.E.S. Artistes by Santigold or Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun. I spend enough time cleaning that I have several Pandora stations dedicated as "high energy cleaning mixes." Nothing wrong with a little booty shake while you're scrubbing the bath tub. Don't imagine that.

This person, on the other hand...

...has not been doing much cleaning lately. This is Paige's room. She moved to Rexburg. So did Ian. So this is her room before we gave it a little makeover. I'll post 'after' pics as soon as I get around to taking them.

As for my bedroom makeover, I haven't gotten very far. I'm still trying to work out the living room. It's hard to collect pieces you love and have them all get along.

Sunburned my neck this afternoon. Went out by the river with Danny, Paige, Ian, and Ian's Korean roommate GP, and barbecued and hung out while Ian and Danny fished. Nobody caught anything, of course. But it's still warm here (80's people! I couldn't be happier.) so we had to take advantage.

Let Me Tell You One Time

What is the cure for Bieber Fever? More Bieber? Or going cold turkey?

Because I am BURNIN' UP!

He's a cutie with a whole lot of innocence and a healthy dose of awkward. Adorable! And he's gotta be cool because he signed with Usher, right? By the looks of this video, they are homies 4 life.



Justin's got some moves (Usher = personal dance coach, remember?), sings love-y, respectful songs about girls and has girls HIS OWN AGE in his music videos. And he travels with his mom. No bump and grind. No poppin' bub in the club. No thug life for this teen pop star.

One more for your viewing pleasure. Just watch it and try not to smile.



It doesn't hurt that he looks like my little brother. Which means I've got the Fever in a non-romantic way. Get it straight people.

The Original Justin Bieber

Ian the Bieber Impersonator (sorry about the pic quality, I had to crop one of his prom photos)

Too bad Ian can't sing. I think he could make some moolah on the side by impersonating Justin Bieber and singing at 12-year-old girls birthday parties.
