Lets get ZAGATs over here

I don't actually know what ZAGATs is, but I do know that my wife has become such a great chef. I am really proud of her.
Take this birthday cake she made for her brother for example:I give it 5 stars, 10 out of 10, and 2 thumbs up. It was sinfully delicious.
She even made it more special by putting an action figure of Sawyer from "Lost" on top.
But I can't give her all the credit. Bennett is a real help in the kitchen as well.

busy day

last week
bennett and i
took advantage
of one of the
fantastic
sunny days












we went out
and found a
fun little
park close by


















after that
he was in
desperate need
of "baff
time"












then playtime
in the buff
before putting
on clothes
(getting dressed
is always
a bummer)


















and after a long
day,this is
how i found
the little dude
in his crib...
all partied out













...so what's with all
the snow this week?
we miss last week.

inconceivable

just stumbled upon
this old picture
of bennett...

he totally looks
like the guy on
princess bride
who always says
"inconceivable!"

And the Oscar Goes To...

Catie and I have had an ongoing competition as to who would be better at dying on screen. It is more difficult than it seems. Try it for yourself and see.

While the competition for who delivers better accents did end up in her favor, I'm afraid that I am going to take this Oscar home (although Catie thinks she will).

See for yourself, and cast your ballot.

and this is why i will never have facebook

my brother told me
he stumbled upon
some guy's facebook
and there were
random pics of me
from like junior high

so he showed me...
yep. some guy i wasn't
even friends with
had pictures of me.
(junior high...no one
was cute in junior high)

annoying? yes.
weird? yes.
lame? yes.

watch this:

quotes i heart

i surround myself with
hilarious people
the best is when they don't
even know they're being funny

dave (being defensive
after i asked him a question
about something he felt
silly about):
"catie, don't ask questions
you don't know the answers to."

cory (on not leaving her
keys in the car while
she ran into the bank)
"i'm not leaving the keys
in the car...so you don't get
hi-jacked." (completely serious)

cory (when she did leave her keys
in the car)
"don't get hi-jacked." (also
comepletely serious)

alina (when she and cory were helping
me choose between short or long
makeup brushes in nordstrom)
"well, the short ones are good because
you don't tap the mirror when you're
using them...but i like the long ones...
you know, because they make me feel pretty."

i love you guys.

Junior Mints

Whenever I actually buy the overpriced candy at the movies, I always get Junior Mints. Refreshing, tasty, clean, and easily shared.

Question:
Does one's breath improve, or suffer after a junior mint?
