You've got to either love Jack or Star Wars Legos to make it through this video...

The cookies are the best ever but Elle finds a way to top them with her dough-eating antics!

I Wish I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner!

Spoiled Kids!

Cupid must really think highly of the kids!  Between all their Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents the kids scored valentines, chocolates, aprons and plenty of other goodies!  Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Happy Valentines Day

Give me a box of See's...or at least the Whitman's sampler...

Definitely NOT a heart filled with beef jerky...

Death Star Status

While the Death Star is far from complete, as both Mullins and the Emperor correctly say. It is fully operational!











Note the ion cannon below...

 
 

Blanket of Clouds

The sunset and cloud were pretty flying in from the Bay area the other night....

Now here's what we've got.... everything you see should be underwater except the most distant hill in the first picture!

Helen and Mittens

Here's one I thought Dad would appreciate!

Yikes! The Broncos are...

  In a surprisingly bad game where the highlight was clearly our chicken nachos at home... who would have thought...

Elle at Dance Class

Now you know how Elle learns her moves...here is another video from dance class.

Death Star Construction Well Underway

Jack and I have started building the Death Star.   About 3 weeks in we are roughly a third of the way done.  Here Jack fine tunes the trash compactor.

Mom has graciously given up the dining room table to support the endeavor.  Current expected completion date is March 1...

Elle Dances with Flags

Elle's dance  class - which I finally go to take her to! featured flag dancing.  Here's a snippet...

I'd missed out on this one and the video....

Meet the Cat...and his Hat!

Jack dressed up as the Dr. Seuss Cat in The Hat a few months back at school!

You Can Dance If You Want To

You can leave your bro' behind.  In this completely unscripted video Jack begins dancing to one of Men Without Hats best new songs, Head Above Water . Not to be shown up, Elle (bronchitis and all) sets her ice cream cone down and shows Jack how it's done.   I guess those dance lessons are paying off!

Pizza Hut Testing New Concept in Nebraska

I recently read that Pizza Hut was going to test a new type of restaurant in York, Nebraska and Pawtucket, Rhode Island.  I happened to be in York on the day this new Pizza Hut opened so I checked it out for lunch.  The new concept is that they sell pizza by the slice at a "slice bar", sauté pastas, and make salads all in front of you.  You run through the line kind of like at a Subway so you can see them making your food.  If it's a success in these test markets, the concept could go national.

 I ate one of the "Big 'N Delicious slices of pizza.  The precooked pie was sitting out, and once you select what kind you want, they heat it up in the oven and bring it out to your table.  It was quick and the slice was large and only cost three dollars.  It was a decent slice of pizza.  My one disappoint with this was that I couldn't choose exactly what toppings I wanted on the slice.  I had to select from about five pre-decided options.
