Beautiful Music

The kids had a piano recital yesterday.  They played very well, even if they don't think so.  Yes, mistakes were made, but aren't they always.  It's part of life, we learn from them.  Sorry that we didn't tell you about it mom, but we got the details last minute and figured you would still be at the temple.  They will gladly play them for you the next time you come over.  Everyone is probably getting tired of looking at our blog, 

but... more info here!

Sunday Night Update

I am sad to report, but Mckell is not wholly truthful.  I do not agree with all of Mckell's pompous statements.  Unfortunately, our disagreements quickly escalated into a vicious ninja fight.  We were instantaneously reincarnated into our childhood favorite Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and took our feelings out on each other with style.  Now, it's no question which one of us would win a battle of strength and finesse.  I'll just let these quality photographs taken by the neutral observer Peter Parker reveal the rest of the story.

The oldest cousin (the only true statement I can honestly make),

Crazy Sunday's with the Cuz!

"THE SUPERIOR COUSINS"

Well first off, I guess we can begin by Brandon telling me that he doesn't approve of my "hip" spelling of cousin in the title.  But he is lame, so it will stay.

"YEAH!  GRANDMA'S IS SO FUN!"

Well to kill sometime at Grandma's tonight, Brandon and I decided to have a photo shoot.  And we figured we would post our pictures up so you all can enjoy the two cutes

t cousins of the whole ASVB Clan.  

Update on Brandon

"THAT IS THE FOREHEAD OF A FUTURE ACTUARY"

-Brandon has started his third semester at BYU and is double majoring in Actuarial Science & Russian.  Yes, he hasn't declared that actual major yet, but he is thinking about it.  And thats half the battle.

-His favorite class this semester in Economics. 

-He is working at BYU reffing intramural basketball, and says that he gets tired running up and down the court.  

-He is currently girlfriend-less and there are no options on the table.  We are anxiously waiting for a sequel where he will announce he has held a girls hand.

Update on Mckell

"THE SUPERIOR-IST COUSIN"

-Mckell is in her second to last semester at the superior school of the University of Utah.  She is majoring in Political Science and Campaign Management.  Although it is a worthless degree, at least she is planning on attending Law school.  

-Her favorite class is Communications and Political Persuasion.  

-She is no longer a unemployed burden on society.

  She now works within Richard Frandsen's law office as a Legal Assistant.  Whoop Whoop!

-She is also single but has a lot more prospects th

at Brandon at the moment.  

-She is still the stronger, faster, smarter, and more beautiful cousin.  Brandon agrees.

Enjoy our pictures!

A New Years Challenge

Hello Family,

I have decided to make a New Years Challenge for you all. As you all know, I did not create this blog just to brag about my Sugarbowl Champion 13-0 Utah Football Team (the real National Champions). No, the real purpose of this blog was to create a network where our whole family could post updates on the ongoing of their families whether that be accomplishments, fun outings, or even just silly posts. This is our place to stay connected.

So with that said, I am making a New Years Challenge for everyone to give a family update at least once a month.

Brandon, you must give your own update since your out of the house (Just like I will)...don't try to pawn that responsibility off your Mom sissy boy. : )

Melissa, because you ruined the title of this blog "AIMHigh34" by getting pregnant and not telling me until the day AFTER I created it, you must also participate in these monthly postings. And please take note that we want to see ulta-sound pictures! (See how nice am I? I'm giving you material to work with for your first post).

Anna and Marvin, this could be a great place to give the family updates on our family in Cali and also on our missionary cousin Jordan. Because you guys live so far away, you should feel obligated to post at least twice a month (kidding).

I am currently working with Taylor and our cousins from down South to get on board with this blog. And I plan to send a nagging e-mail to Aaron to get him to join as well.

Lynette and Jared, you're are good. I have no need to nag your guys. Keep posting. : ) But, Amaya, feel free to do some of your own posts if you like.

And last but not least, Grandma. Wise, amazing, beautiful, and loving Grandma. The leader of the family. I know that sometimes your new computer scares you and that this blog thing might be a little weird, but we are counting on you to write us on this. Whether its your daily thoughts or some family history, we want to hear it. If you need help figuring out how to post, feel free to call me or I'm sure Lynette. We'll help.


Well I love you guys and I hope you are all having an amazing 2009 so far. I'm grateful to have such amazing people in my life.

Love,

The Oldest and Wisest Cousin (yeah you heard that right Brandon, you were a fluke. You were suppose to come after me),

BCS Sugar Bowl Champions!

Just figured I would pay a little tribute to my team Utah for playing one the best games I have ever seen last night.  The Crimson Tide rolled alright...rolled over and died.  

Go Utes!  The REAL National Champaions! 13-0 Baby!

Utah Man am I!!

Why hello my beloved family!

I would just like to take a moment of your time to remind you all that Utah is playing Alabama today in the Sugar Bowl! The game is at 6 o'clock. Today we will witness the biggest football game in Utah history. Today will be the day that Utah will beat the Goliath also know as Alabama!

So dawn your red, say a prayer, sing Utah Man am I, and watch Utah kick some Crimson Tide butt!


GO UTES!!!

"Who am I sir, Utah man am I! Utah man sir, will be till I die! Ki-Yi!!"

Love,

Your 'lil Ute
