Carcassonne

Since it is my turn (Braden) to write the blog for this week, I'll start off by listing my top favorite things of the week.

Carcassonne- This is my new favorite game.  It is a tile based strategy board game that is very fun.  Sarah and I have played it a few times (we need more people to play it with) and then went out and bought two expansions for it as well. We have run into a little problem though. We don't always have enough space on our kitchen table.  We might end up playing on the kitchen floor but that's not the most comfortable thing.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  We need a surface harder than carpet but maybe slightly mobile...

Snowman - We officially built our first Snowman of the season.

Work Partay!!!-  Alright, so it was just an unofficial work party.  Matt, from our legal team, hosted it at his house.  I brought a cheese ball that I made all by myself.  It was pretty tasty.  Sarah wasn't a fan of the liquid smoke and nuts on it but I thought it was great!  We stayed for a couple hours. Nothing too exciting - just eating and talking. Sarah kept eyeing all the babies there. I need to watch that girl so she doesn't get too baby hungry!

Baking a pie - Who knew I could do it?  Not Sarah...  I surprised her with my excellent cooking in something other than eggs. (She only thought I could  make things like fried eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, and egg rolls.) I used my Momma's apple pie recipe, and it was so good!

My Beard - I have started to grow out a beard and it is pretty decent.  It itches sometimes because I think it is starting to curl a bit, which is not the most comfortable thing.  Question.. Should I keep it?  If so, for how long?

Bowling-  Sarah beat me in bowling by 2 points.  She was on cloud 9.  Why, you might ask?  She looses most of the card games that we play. If she ever wins any other type of game against me, she doesn't forget to show her excitement. I think its kinda cute.

Cool new things of the week!!

*LastPass is something that I have learned to love!!  Its a username and password manager.  I am already at 30 different usernames and passwords.

*ShayTards

This is a clip of a family that call themselves the ShayTards (The father's name is Shay).  They are a Mormon family from southern California that have 5 children. For the past 4 years, they have uploaded a vlog every single day. They just video what they do as a family, and talk about their day. It seems pretty mundane, but Sarah and I love watching them! Their videos are funny and the children are pretty cute.  The second video above has to be one of my favorites.

P.S. I have a cute wife. Sometimes I come home from work, and I find things like this.

Sleepy Sarah.
